Combat Commander Europe – #12 Misty Mountain
The final scenario in the 8-month marathon of playing all 12 scenarios in Combat Commander: Europe! This was definitely a nail-biter. For a while there, I didn’t think the Time triggers could come fast enough. But I prevailed! Michal will be doing a post… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #12 Misty Mountain”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Missions #1 & #2
Storm Above the Reich is a solo game (it can be played 2-players cooperatively, but why would you?) where you are leading a squadron of German Luftwaffe fighters against B-24 bombers who are attempting to bomb their targets. In the 1943 seasons, this is… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Missions #1 & #2”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario A – Grassy Knoll
Another month and another great game of Combat Commander, this time of the Pacific variety! Once a month, those of us on the Combat Commander ladder led by the illustrious Patrick Pence are able to immerse themselves in vicious combat against a very capable… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario A – Grassy Knoll”
Combat Commander Europe – #11 Hold the Line
Here we are with Scenario #11 in the Combat Commander: Europe playthrough that Michal and I did. Yes, that’s right. Did. Because we just finished scenario #12 today! He’ll be doing the write-up of that as well. This was a great scenario, though marred… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #11 Hold the Line”
Combat Commander Europe – #10 Commando Schools
This was a fun scenario where I was actually able to adapt to a little adversity! Well…having a few Ambushes helped. Thanks, Michal, for another great write-up! Check out the rest of his blog while you’re there. We’re currently in the middle of Scenario… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #10 Commando Schools”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario #34 – Encircled at Hill 30
Two months in a row I’ve managed to get my Combat Commander ladder game in. The ladder is run by Patrick Pence and is a great way to play a monthly game against some good people and maybe (I don’t know, probably not) rise… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario #34 – Encircled at Hill 30”
Combat Commander Europe – #9 Rush to contact
Another great write-up of our Combat Commander: Europe games by Michal. This scenario was a lot of fun, but I’m not sure I set up properly. That being said, it was kind of fun making a desperation move (twice!) to call down artillery on… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #9 Rush to contact”
Combat Commander Europe – #8 Breakout dance
Another of Michal’s awesome reports on our Combat Commander: Europe games. This is the scenario that taught me that sometimes you just have to move and play cards to make something happen. I was sitting waiting for the perfect cards and Michal’s troops were… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #8 Breakout dance”
Combat Commander Europe – #7 Bessarabian Nights
I know, I know. Three Combat Commander posts in a row? I promise I will be posting something different soon, but during my blog hiatus, I wanted to continue to reblog Michal’s brilliant session reports of our Combat Commander games. This scenario was so… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #7 Bessarabian Nights”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario #23 – No-Man’s Land
After taking the month of June off for personal reasons, I was eager to play the July scenario for the Combat Commander: Europe ladder (run by the illustrious Patrick Pence). After winning the May game (my first official win!), I had already moved up… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario #23 – No-Man’s Land”
