Solo board wargaming interlude - Combat Commander and Liberty Or Death

Had couple of solo sessions with couple of favourite board wargames I have not played in a while.

First up I played through a Combat Commander scenario set around action on 26th June 1944 near Cheux (from Normandy Battle Pack).

This was a cracking game (as it always is with CC) with Huns seeming as if they would run away with game as Time check ate the turns very quickly and they clocked up VPs.

But the Brits managed to turn things around (as can happen in CC) at last gasp with a couple of Melees that done for SS defenders and forced past their Surrender level (the VPs had turned in Brit favour as well with taking of an objective).

I really must get a face to face/live game again with this excellent system.

Early stages with several German units suffering effects of pre-game bombardment

Lots of open ground for British to cross but visibility limited to 5 hexes due Mist so doable

Brits have administered knockout punch in town destroying SS squads and taking lucrative VP location 

Punch was made to village centre but couple of stacks as others held back

Final victory track with Germans reaching surrender level (6) and Brits on 2VP (Huns had been at 10 at one stage)

Afterwards I then set up Liberty Or Death COIN game and am in early throes of this as have forgotten several of its rules/quirks so need some rules revision.

Pity I cannot get 3 other like-minded players for this

Playing full game (1776-1781) and first Winter Quarters card just completed
