Urban Gaming Board - Part 10 (Final)

Hi All,

So I am going to call the board done and finished.

There is a problem with the 'bowing' of some of the boards, I have done some stretching out and they are a bit flatter now and looking good.

While I could have done a bit more detail here and there I am really happy with it.

Its a bit goal for me to have finished this project, considering where I started from all those months ago (although I didn't start serious work on it until early February 2019).

Well, enough talking - here are the pictures!

Thanks to all which have followed along - it has made it easier to get regular stuff done!

Now I will have to think of another project to take up my time...

Chain of Command - Table Top Game

Hi All, Chain of Command , produced by Too Fat Lardies is one of the many World War Two table top games currently on the market. While it does not have the following of Flames of War or Bolt Action, it is still a very good game. Chain of Command Rule Book (image courtesy of Too Fat Lardies) At this stage, Chain of Command only covers the main combatants of the European Theatre but there have been some efforts to branch out to the more esoteric with army lists produced for Japanese, Italians and Belgians. Chain of Command varies a little from some of the more commercial games on the market in a few ways. Firstly it is partially without a points system. The core platoons are devised by actual structural organisation and training of that nation for that time period. Balancing in the game is then taken care of by 'support points' in which the nation with the weaker base organisation can take a few extra things to even up the battle. In reality these support points even u...

Operation Mercury #2a - Greek Platoon List (Chain of Command)

Hi All, So part 2 of our Operation Mercury campaign. This is where we introduce the Greek platoon structure and their pivotal characters. Officially Chain of Command does not have a Greek Platoon list, however, the produces of the have released a CoCulator in which the community can create their own lists which will be balanced with pre-existing lists. With a bit of research and finessing to fit within my current model range I managed to come up with a Greek Platoon which could have fought in Crete in 1941. As for the characters the campaign supplement for Chain of Command called 'At the Sharp End' includes a officer and NCO generator for your platoon. Although not vital to do for a campaign it adds a certain about of flavour if and when your leaders are killed or go out of actions. The campaign rules also tracks what the men think of their platoon leader (i.e. you) and what the commanding officer thinks of the platoon (and your command of it). This affects the amount o...

15mm Tanks - Germans

I normally game in 28mm, I like the scale, its easy to paint and identify stuff on the table...I also like the larger models as they remind me of plastic soldiers when I was a kid. Anyway, I have been introducing a couple of work colleagues into tabletop games recently when one took a particular shine to my Greyhound Armoured Car. I thought what better game for a treadhead than What a Tanker! by Too Fat Lardies. - simple, quick and full of tanks. Part of the reason for all the tanks lately was to use them for games of Chain of Command, Bolt Action and What a Tanker! However, as I do not have a lot of space at home (my play surface is only 4 x 4) so I decided to buy some 15mm tanks to allow a more dynamic games. The models themselves are from Gale Force 9's 'Tanks' and are essentially Flames of War miniatures (no complaints there though). I found that I can utilise much of my terrain at the smaller scale and elected to take a break from the Mediterranean and dive ...
