Tom, one of our virtual wargaming group centred in Finland, has been asked to playtest a new set of night fighting rules for Chain of Command. Eero set up a terrific table for Don, Tom and myself to have a go. Since the rules are in playtest, I cannot say much about them because they are in playtest and to be honest I had a bit of a hard time understanding them on Monday when we played. But I did have fun and it was terrific to get together again as it had been a couple of years.
The scenario was given to us with the playtest and involved a US platoon attacking a depleted platoon of Volksgrenadiers during the Battle of Ardenne in the night. Here is the virtual terrain and the results of the Patrol Phase. Please note that the blue small circles are not defender JOPs.
Some photos from the game:
We are having another go this Friday, I suspect I will have a much better understanding of them in our next game. Thanks again to Eero for putting on the game and a great table, as well to Tom for presenting the rules and to Don for keeping our forces well led.
