Tabletop CP: Chain of Command Battle Report- A Driving Charge Game 1 Probe at Changlun

[@Daniel-jg1uk]

Gotta be honest: An other channel ran a live premiere just yesterday, which was basically just another Hollywood movie of Ze Görmans getting mördered. And here you are today, treating me to a full-blown Japanese lightning assault in the Far Eastern theatre. Amazing work, gentlemen, greatly entertaining. Looking forward to the next episode.

The river is an obstacle to troops, but isn't for patrol markers, or when deployng from a jump of point?

[@tabletopcp]

That’s the way we interpreted it.

[@99IronDuke]

Most 'Indian' platoon commanders in 1941-42 were British, even by 1945 more than 50% of them were. This was even more true of company commanders. There were no Zero's operating in Malaya, there were Japanese army Oscars instead.

[@trompell0]

Do you prefer Bolt Action or Chain of command? And why?

[@tabletopcp]

Maybe sounds like a cop out but I like them no both. I love bolt action for the fast paced Hollywood movie style game play it has. I love chain of command for the realistic tactical depth and for the excellent campaign play. They are two very different games tjsr are hard to compare to one another. They just happen to share a WW2 theme.

[@BeardClipper]

Awesome - i always love your CoC videos :) Also you forgot Discord!!! don't forget Discord :D

[@marcrenouf2470]

It didn't make much difference in this game as it happened so late, but if the Green Die is a 1, and the target is already in Hard Cover (as the Japanese troops in the Jungle Fringe were), then they cannot be seen and the shooting has no effect at all.

[@tabletopcp]

I noticed that later when I was editing. Will remember for next time

[@bradleycoles9018]

how did u move over the river??

[@robheath6199]

a ruse was used to convert a scout team next to the river into a jump-off point and a unit was then deployed 6" from that point over the river , however if you measure the river on the map and scale it appropriately for a 6' by 4' table the river measures 6" to 7" wide so this maybe not how this scenario is intended to be played

[@tabletopcp]

Yeah deployed across via a ruse. We figured that squad flank around from a river crossing downstream.

[@AlanDanskin]

Rivers in this campaign can only be crossed at bridges, but the general terrain notes for this campaign make an exception for patrol phase and moving jump off points, ruses. See p22

[@jessenaylor6482]

This was a great video, these more narrative games make me want to get into Bolt Action. Do you get these missions, history behind the mission and the rules from campaign books?

[@tabletopcp]

This is chain of command not bolt action. Bolt action does not get as narrative nor have as robust a campaign system as chain of command
