I think you forgot that pinned troops get an extra level of cover. These rules seem very good- looking forward to seeing them develop.

[@christophernelson4624]

Interesting. Looks promising

[@BradenWoj]

I like the way the gun can jam. I can see that making players have rash decisions and possibly causing a little chaos to the impatient players. At first I was thinking the bunker would be too untouchable but as the hun jammed and play went on I realized it gave it more of a “ww1” running into massed fire feel.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

They didn't run into massed fire in the First World War though, that's a myth. The platoon from 1917 onwards was designed to deal with strong points using modern infantry weapons and tactics.

[@BradenWoj]

@@StormofSteelWargaming makes sense. I’m slowly doing research onto the first war and trying to figure out what’s credible and what’s not is a little hard when I’m limited to internet searches. For your rules are you going to have a way sections can take care of those mg bunkers like a tank round or a skilled shot?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

@@BradenWoj ​@BradenWoj you should watch my recent video on wargaming the First World War. No, if a player uses period tactics they should be able to take out bunkers. I talk about that in my video on British infantry tactics that you'll find if you dig around on the channel.

[@peterchadwick6382]

Great video as always Alex , I like the ideas you have come up with, they dont detract from the COC ethos , if you want plsytesters please consider me and the group I play CoC with don't hold living the other side of the pennines aqainst us

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you! I don't think I'm at the stage of playtesters just yet, but I will let you know when I am! Even if you're on the wrong side.

[@Jim-yk9if]

Thank you for video! I've been looking forward to these sneak peeks! I like that stoppages/jams remain and the new movement rule is promising. I wonder if troops in bunkers only suffering shock from small arms fire will raise the importance of pre-game preliminary bombardments (would it have it's own category or fall under "Bombardment on the enemy trench line"?). I've always liked 9.5.2 in Through the Mud and the Blood, and am wondering if you are considering a way to incorporate that into Great War Chain of Command. So many questions, but I'll stop here for now!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I like the shock rules in mud and Blood as well.

[@deece1482]

Lovely jubbly. Ive been bitten by the great war bug and just bought a company of french, british, and germans in 15mm. Lord help me...

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thanks and I'm glad to hear it.

[@danitenotes]

How do I get ahold of these rules you're designing? CoC for WW1 looks wildly interesting.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

They are still veing developed, so won't be available for a long time

[@lexi_9995]

Movement looks interesting. How about deducting the abysmal terrain dice result from the other 3 red movement dice. So it could happen that the abysmal die result could wipe out the other 3 movement dice, just a thought. Regards Lexi

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. That's food for thought.

[@WarslothWargaming]

Hi Alex, I seem to remember something about CoC: The Great War in a previous video. Are you working on your own rules, or with the Lardies to create them, or am I just totally confused?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I'm working on my own rules with them, but who knows what will happen to them in the future.

[@hobbitomm]

I think against the bunkers covering fire us going to be more effective than firing for effect. The -1 to hit is going to be more useful I think. Also is light cover still provided by being pinned?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Yeah it does.

[@steveholmes11]

Wondering whether Germans not bringing their troops on would prevent "bad things happen" events.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at?

[@nicolascarvacho4998]

Hii, can i ask you, where do you get the miniatures?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Peter Pig and Battlefront mostly.

[@peterchadwick6382]

Would you add in barbed wire as extra issues with movement or is it included in your yellow dice effect

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

It works the same as in the normal CoC rules.

[@andyshaw5378]

Did you really charge a platoon across no mans land against two German defended positions 🦁 🫏???

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

No, half the platoon was in support...
