Too Fat Lardies

1. I house-ruled the use of a Stug by having the vehicle pay 1" per 15-deg of turn. Admittedly fiddly, and slowing things a bit (along with requiring a protractor, but us old model builders have plenty of unused tools lying about...) but in the case of the Stug (where facing is critical) it was a we...

Vague subject, so apologies.

What I'm interested in discussing is what is being modelled on our tabletops.

Is it the action or the pieces/parts?

Figures?...
Equipment?...
Terrain?...

...or is it the action?

Do you game what happens, or what it looks like?

In a CoC campaign casualty figs were placed (after calculating KIA v wounded) for the first-time-in-combat Americans for the second and third time they tried to take the table from the Germans. When the fresh platoon(s) came upon the bodies in the field or along the hedge of those that had gone befo...

... you can create ridge lines by placing fabric under a game cloth.

You can also create undulations/ridge lines on the table by putting pipe cleaners (either under or over the surface) on the table. They serve as definitive markers for where a cover or hulldown condition may exist.

Like others, I do both - 15mm CoC and 6mm CF. They scratch different command/battle itches, so I don't see them as competing with each other. I also have IABSM, and have only held off play due to basing...stupid, admittedly, but that's where I sit (in my 50-deg F cellar) where I'm concentrating on g...

If table space for the sheets may be an issue, consider printing a player's two sheets back-to-back (or just cut/fold) and slip into a 5x7 sheet protector -that's what I do with my aircombat sheets (same grease pencil use).

It's possible to keep the number of CoC dice available to each side hidden by rolling command dice out of view of one's opponent (and, obviously, keeping the tracking of 5s rolled hidden as well...). Of course, wondering/worrying about what an opponent has 'up his sleeve' still exists, but it isn't ...

" I'd love to see it at one end of the table..."

...and then see it moved 18" on a CoC die!
"Make way! Make way! JOP coming through!"

As the title says. Looking for suggestions on general history of campaign.
Nothing too basic ("The war in 24 pages") but not just about a single battle or unit - I'll get to those after I've learned the overall picture.

Thanks in advance.
