Hi folks This week we tried using the excellent Too Fat Lardies Chain of Command rules in a modern Africa/AK47 type setting. We avoided too many changes to the rules as it was our first attempt and it seemed to give an excellent game. I think more work's needed but it adapts well to the modern period. More details here on my blog….. link |

Looks good. Seems like the woods are everywhere. I don't think most of us think of the desert in that way. |

Who said anything about a desert? |

..erm..yes… I don't think we were being too specific about exactly where in Africa this took place. :) Somewhere fairly warm and jungley but with North African style buildings (since that's what I had handy) |

Alastair – interesting; thanks for posting. I've just got CoC but haven't plyed or even read it properly yet. Tell me, I see you infantry are two per base (which is what i have for AK47). Does that work ok with CoC? I'd got the impression the rules were aimed at single figures. Were you using 15mm? Doug |

Doug… yes, the figures are 15mm and are based for AK47 which is a little fiddly and involves using some kind of marker for casualties but was otherwise fine. I did use single based figures for the Senior and Junior commanders though. I'm now torn between rebasing them all singly or keeping them like this for games like AK47! I suspect I'm going to have the same dilemma with my Spanish Civil War armies which I'd also like to try with CoC. Increasingly I find 15mm is an ideal scale for this type of large skirmish game and have gone the same way with Muskets and Tomahawks, Force on Force etc. |
