We're very excited about the new campaign supplement for Chain of Command and getting our forces ready for some serious campaigning.

It's been great fun dicing up our characters who wiggler be seeing in action. I am running a US platoon in a campaign set near Cherbourg. Here is how my guys are coming out.

Lieutenant Ronald Abrams, 29 year old former police detective from New York City. An average size guy.

His Platoon Sergeant is Jake O'Malley, a 26-year-old former teamster from Billings Montana. A strapping 6 foot and a good man to have with you in a fight.

My first squad is commanded by Sgt Nathanial Leibman at 25-year-old farmboy from a dairy farm near Milwaukie in Wisconsin. He is as broad as he's tall, a barrel of a man with a strong arm.

The second squad is led by Sgt Brad Steers, another farmboy but from a cattle ranch B just outside Crestwood, Kentucky. He's a 28-year-old lumbering giant of a man, nobody wants to get in his way.

Finally my third squad is under Sgt Eric Konig a youngster, a 22-year-old former office boy who sat at a desk since he left high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he is tall and thin and new to the job but Lt. Abrams has high hopes.

I'm going to do a bit of reading to find out which is the best unit for them to come from. They kinda look like they're all from a similar geographical area so that should hopefully give me some guidance. Either way this was a real fun thing to do. I can't wait to see them in action.

Cherbourg here we come!

Great start!

Now you have to do the same for the Jerrys!

Just a little note: in the supplement there are few tables that randomly give all the info – if needed – about the leaders to define therir background.
To add some spice to the games.

Nicely done, looking forward to hearing how these guys do when the bullets start flying!

Ordered it myself the other evening but unfortunately work is getting in my way of reading it properly.

That sounds excellent, I really like CoC and the campaign book and can't wait to play it….. Just need to finish painting lots of little germans first :) (My regular gaming partner and I both wanted to play as Allies so we made a pact to get a Jerry army each first. He's doing Eastern front and I'm doing West :). Good luck sir.
