    Tyler, its GREAT to see your beautiful battle reports again, thanks! I'm really glad the detail in our book has helped with information around force and support selection- thanks for the shout out, its our pleasure to help you play your lovely games. I loved the format, the dice in CoC obviously play a massive part in the game, i like the way you just showed what options you had quickly ( and the double/triple rounds too! ) and then went back to talking through the narrative. Loved it! please give us more!!! Kind regards, Dan

    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.

    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.

    • @TexasBoltAction

  • @josephmcnally0766
    @josephmcnally0766 Год назад

    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.

    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
      @TexasBoltAction  Год назад +1

      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!
