No 1 CI and 1 Signa each remove 1 shock. So if a leaders uses 2CI and 3 Signa, 5 shock will be removed from any groups they are attached to.

Careful there - a total of 5 points of Shock will be removed, not 5 Shock from each group.

Yeah, most of the close combat I've seen in games of CoC is either in very tight terrain, as a result of deployment, or as a result of fire-and-maneuver to dig an opponent out of a strong position - and sometimes all three!

I think it was Sidi Omar, but I'd have to check to be sure.

I play at 15mm, so I base individual troopers on #8 steel washers. My sabot bases are made from magnetic sheet. If I moved up to 28mm, I'd base them on 7/8" fender washers (which is what I do for CoC and Infamy).

Some aggregate of the Mens' Opinion should probably be tracked for this game, as if it becomes too much ...

you could I guess make it closer to infantry fire and reduce the number of dice but keep the to hit roll the same This is how I'd do it - drop [-1 dice / 2 Shock] when firing on infantry (with either an MG or with HE), apply the [-1 mod/Shock] when firing AT. AT and grenades are the only firing rol...

We've taken to just straight up incorporating the rules for bunkers and fortifications as a "continuum of cover." In hard cover and also pinned? You count as being in a bunker (ignore the first kill). It seems to work really well, and keeps pinned squads from being quite as much of a liability for b...

So. Many. 6s!
