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”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 62 – Bessarabian Nights II
If the sight of blood makes you feel squeamish, you can certainly continue reading this after action report. I haven’t seen this much of a dearth of blood in a Combat Commander game since my first ladder game in 2021! I’m getting ahead of… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 62 – Bessarabian Nights II”
Combat Commander After Action Report – Supplemental No. 5 – Tito’s Trick
At the end of December, between Christmas and New Year’s, I was off of work (that’s one of the lucky perks of my job). Seemed like a perfect time to get some extra Combat Commander games in! Ladder Rules Guru Noel graciously agreed to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Supplemental No. 5 – Tito’s Trick”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 61 – Surrender is Out of the Question!
The fickle finger of fate. Sometimes she’s good to you and the finger has chocolate on it. Sometimes she’s bad to you and you don’t want to taste what’s on it. And sometimes she’s both. Which can be a thing of nightmares, actually. That… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 61 – Surrender is Out of the Question!”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 38 – Not One Step Back
It’s that time of the month again! Time for another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the best games out there that’s run by the renowned Patrick Pence, he of Patrick’s Tactics & Tutorials fame (and formerly of… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 38 – Not One Step Back”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M5 – Blind Man’s Bluff
I have been having a horrible streak of luck and bad play in my monthly Combat Commander ladder games, with a three-month losing streak going into my October game! That is not good, and shall not stand! Or maybe it did. I guess you’ll… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M5 – Blind Man’s Bluff”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario G – Bitter Creek
One of the really cool things about the monthly Combat Commander ladder is meeting new opponents and then trying to wipe the floor with them. The latter part doesn’t happen very often, unfortunately. While Combat Commander: Europe is my favourite, I do enjoy (and… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario G – Bitter Creek”
