Missing men is normal in war throughout history: wounded, sick, missing, KIA and yet not replaced, AWOL. So that's a realistic start. Nice AAR and pictures. |

Missing men is normal in war throughout history: wounded, sick, missing, KIA and yet not replaced, AWOL. So that's a realistic start. Nice AAR and pictures. The campaign is for Chain of Command and the supplement ‘At the Sharp End' provides the mechanics for handling casualties during a campaign. In most campaigns sides are limited in the number of platoons available and so keeping an eye on casualties is a big part of managing the campaign. If nothing else it prevents those crazy fight to the death games where players have no regard for losses. |

If nothing else it prevents those crazy fight to the death games where players have no regard for losses. In all my years of gaming I have never managed to participate in a campaign. All of my games have been one-off affairs. But I have always wanted to get involved in multiple games in sequence, and the impact on realistic command behavior (ie: reducing the ease of choosing to "fight to the death") has been one of the key reasons. I have tried to create pre-game briefings, victory conditions, etc. to give gamers reasons to care about preserving their forces. I have never been satisfied with the results. I believe that preventing the "fight to the death" behavior needs multiple games in sequence (ie: a campaign), to make it real to the gamers, or to make them pay if they can't consider the impact on game 2 of their decisions in game 1. Some day I'll find myself in circumstances where the games are not so rare and ad hoc. Some day …. -Mark
