The scenarios were from a set of WBC 2009 Tournament games.
First up saw my Dad with Germans as usual in Normandy against Yanks.
A narrow win for the Germans as Sudden Death saw game end with 2 German VPs mainly due to relentless Time triggers.
Second game had some Elite Ivans against his Nazis in Germany 1945 with Fascists hampered by a 2 Action hand.
Judicious (and somewhat lucky) use of Smoke Grenades saw Ivan Assault units thump into a building defended with Bunkers with Satchel Charges and Flamethrowers chewing up SS and lesser defenders for an easy Russian win.
Last game had French in 1940 facing Teds again.
Bloody French hand discard of one is very frustrating and the Germans were able to pick of a key VP location early on and again a quick march to Sudden Death roll saw them win.
Great stuff with a great game.
I also took plunge on latest iteration of the Combat Commander system
Great War Commander and look forward to its arrival despite the lack of British in initial release !!!
Retirement in 6 months........... you lucky lucky bastard!! :)
ReplyDeleteI picked up Great War Commander last year and have played quite a few games with my son. If you like combat commander you are going to love this one. Highly addictive.
Hi yes cant wait and I will only be 55 years young :-)
DeleteGWC certainly looks the part !
great War Commander looks a lovely package, the maps alone are worth the investment - from memory, they also manage to get tanks into the system!
ReplyDeleteHi Norm
DeleteWatched a couple of UTube vids and game looked great graphically with only a few changes to CC game system. Seems to have both Tanks and Planes :-)
