Great terrain! It actually looks just like the interior of Sicily, which I know well. Btw, Durham is pronounced somewhere between “Durrem” and “Da-rum”. The “h” is completely silent.

hi, what are the minis you are using for the Italians and Brits?
@TexasBoltAction6 ай бұрын
The Brit’s are an assortment of warlord games and artizan. The Italians are warlord games.

Amazing table and report! A dream to play on such a gorgeous table. Would love to see more CoC. Not sure you resolved Overwatch correctly? If a unit fires without moving, any Overwatch against it comes after the firing (see Firing on Overwatch 9.1.3).

It was neat to see the mixed squads (men from different regiments) in the Italian squads, is that something you can do in CoC? I am not familiar with CoC but I hear it is really good.
@TexasBoltAction Жыл бұрын
In CoC you are usually representing a single platoon. However, I painted my Italians to be a mix of desert and coastal uniforms since in Sicily they were kind of a hodgepodge. With Italy's ghastly supply issues, it is highly unlikely a platoon would all be wearing the same uniform. And yes CoC is my favorite wwii game hands down!

That's right BA battle reports but at COMPANY LVL with no points list just fun exciting games with lots of semi decently painted figures and tanks at COMPANY LVL maybe even SEVERAL COMPANYS at he same time i have that many figures ! ! ! So coming to YT in a year or two inspired by this lot . You were simply the best i thank you for your content gentleman , regards from Gaz in the UK ! .

Good game, Guys…I think in the spirit of the rules you only get an extra phase once if you roll a double 5. So, rolling a double 5 again In the next phase will not count as a double phase. Also, I believe if your vehicle is stationary you can fire the main gun and the machine gun, or coax and hull machine gun. For the Italians I would make a special rule where you roll six sided dice but divide in half and add to base morale.
@sirrathersplendid4825Ай бұрын
It’s a double six 🎲🎲 rather than double five that gives you an extra phase. And the original intention, as the author Richard Clarke has stated repeatedly, is that each subsequent double six in following phases should give you another extra phase. It’s called “seizing the moment” - as in it gives you the opportunity to break what might otherwise degenerate into a long-range firefight.

Love this! Beautiful terrain amd models! I really appreciate the detail put into the explanation of the units, it's very engaging and immersive. I like how you posed the British units in a marching column giving that storytelling aspect. I find battle reports are often dry, and focus too much on the dicing and rules of the game, which is good for learning a game but not as much fun to watch. I also find chain command to just really lend itself well to narrative and scenario play, as much as I do love bolt action, I'm enjoying watching this more. Question for you, where did you get your casualty models? I really love how much more having those on the table added.

Great format & table. If there’s more CoC I’ll definitely be subscribing. Cant play CoC like bolt action, the DLI got hammered because they didn’t use infantry tactics of the day. Pre bombardment softening if you can get it, fire support and movement, mortars and smoke. Crossing open ground, with no suppression fire or smoke they got what they deserved. Top video!

Indeed! Thought they would pull it off with 12 pts of support. They had a 2nd Sherman waiting in the wings to come on. Maybe if they’d rolled better morale they could have turned the tide, but it just goes to show CoC doesn’t always favor the firstest with the mostest.
