Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #46 – Pegasus Bridge
I must have done some really bad things in a previous life. Maybe I held an entire disco hostage, forcing them to listen to the long-forgotten Blues album by Gilbert Gottfried. This week’s Combat Commander ladder game is a testament that I must have… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #46 – Pegasus Bridge”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 42 – Rumanian Defiance
One of the main rules of Combat Commander is “Anything can happen, so don’t give up.” Obviously the caveat to that is “unless all hope is lost,” but in Combat Commander, that “lost” level is much higher than in many other games. My November… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 42 – Rumanian Defiance”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M8 – Closing Outer Camp
Some months the luck gods strike you down, and some months the luck gods…well, don’t. They still needle you some, but maybe they decide to strike somebody else down instead? That’s Combat Commander in a nutshell! Yes, it’s time for another adventure from the… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M8 – Closing Outer Camp”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario C – Ichiki Attacks

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 27 – Carentan Causeway
After getting my July Combat Commander game done on July 1, July was a long month to wait for another one! I was going to set up another one in July but ended up not doing so.

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 118 – No. 4 Commando
Combat Commander can be a weird duck sometimes. One day, luck is swinging wildly like a drunk pool player swinging his stick around because he scratched on an easy 8-ball shot. The next day, things pretty much go in a straight line, from one… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 118 – No. 4 Commando”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato
Combat Commander can be a game of wild swings of luck, back and forth so much that it might make you dizzy (and make bad decisions). Sometimes, though, there is just one swing. You know how, when you were a kid, sometimes your dad… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 86 – Keep Calm and Carry On
Never has a scenario title been so apt! As you shall see. The subtitle for this post is The Ballad of Sergeant Hawes. Welcome to another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the greatest games out there. Administered… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 86 – Keep Calm and Carry On”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 78 – By These Deeds They Shall Be Known
After a few months’ streak of fun games that ultimately lead to more futility, it was time to see if I could end this losing streak. I hadn’t lost this many Combat Commander games in a row in quite a while! Would I be… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 78 – By These Deeds They Shall Be Known”
