Too Fat Lardies

According to page 32, third bullet point, “Where three or more types of light cover intervene between the firer and the target this should be considered hard cover.” There is no mention of linear obstacles. I would count them in hard cover. But this could change by scenario. Many of the PSC’s give c...

John, many other game systems measure that way, including pre-8th edition 40k. Your “friends” are probably confounding the rules from previous play experiences.

As per page 46: “Roll for each Team (not Section or Squad), treating them as an Effective Range target and reducing cover by one level for any hits when rolling on Table 5, Hit Effect. Any troops in woodland or orchards will be treated as a Close Range target...” Off table mortars always the troop q...

Just some more guidance on deployment Ledfoot. Chain of Command is unlike most tabletop games in that your troops don’t hit the table until you need them to.

Ban Preliminary Bombardment. If both sides take it, the first hour of your game will slow to a crawl. B. Only th...

Bloody Bucket has the Assault Platoon for the Germans. 2 squads all with assault rifles, and a third squad with 2 LMG’s.

The latest issue, Issue 100 of Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy has 3 campaigns for fallschirmjagers using CoC, and a 4th scenario easily adapted. Crete, Norway and Monte Cassino. The 4th is late war, using Battlegroup rules, would make for a good Big CoC game. Well worth a look!
