Updates to OST East Front and Vassal Module

By
I recently uploaded turn 2 for the OST East Front play through and thought I would post a few thoughts here.  The second turn did play much quicker.  Well, in my mind it played quicker.  I felt like the pacing improved as my familiarity with the rules increase.  Turns out the video was maybe 15 minutes shorter than the first video.  So it's still lengthy and that may be simply due to the fact that I talk too much.  I'm still referring to the rules, must mostly just to confirm or clarify, not so much to learn as I play.  I've read they rules quite a few times already and I know there is a thing as too much reading of the rules.  At some point, you just need to play.  So my hope is that turn 3 runs smoother.

And with that, I did update my module in Vassal.  I did add a button that can clear all of the status markers.  That was a challenge to learn, but I'm happy with the results.  It removes tedium from the game that otherwise is just a lot of button clicking to clear.  I did re-size some of the status markers allowing me more easily see the unit underneath the marker so at a glance it's easier to identify who or what is affected.  There is an option to offset that placement.  I may do that just to lift the marker up so it's not covering the name of the unit.  But that is a cosmetic concern that can sit on the back burner for now.  I also added a sub-menu for vehicles to indicate their specific damage if applicable.  Again, a bit of a challenge but it works very well.

I'll link both videos for you to watch to see what is going on.  Please enjoy and share any thoughts you may have.

Random Movement in Chain of Command

By
One of the first things I noticed in Chain of Command is that your movement is random and not a set amount.  Depending on your movement choice, tactical, normal or all out, you roll dice to see how far you can move.  This is modified for special terrain and buildings.  I didn't know what to think of that until I played out a couple games and I really like the mechanic. Most games I have played allow for infantry, vehicles, cavalry, etc. to have a fixed movement rate which is modified by terrain.  That works just fine.  So why do i like the random roll?  In a narrative element, it takes into account things like your teams willingness to move forward, how cautious they are moving based on perceived threat or even just how much more unsteady the environment is.  Let's take a look at terrain and how it can affect movement. In most war games, movement for tanks is a fixed value based on tank.  As you cross terrain, you subtract from the movement al...

Playing a Delaying Action in Chain of Command

By
Recently I played a quick game and the scenario was A Delaying Action.  This was a great way to show how only three patrol markers and really set the patrol phase in your favor.  Most games I've seen played or played in had each player using four deployment markers.  The rules state that some scenarios will let you pick between three and four and there has been discussion about the benefit of only three.  Well today I found out when playing a delaying action as a the defender, you only get three patrol markers, and it was awesome. So normally, you and your opponent take turns moving the patrol markers on the board until one side has all of their markers locked down.  However, with 4 markers each side I've seen this usually leads to static lines near the center of the board and sometimes doesn't really showcase creative deployments.  But, what is really cool I have noticed is that if you play with three markers and your opponent has four, you can force th...

Heroes of Normandie Rules Compendium

By
Heroes of Normandie is a fun and light wargame.  I have had this game for a couple of years and have played it a few times with my son.  It's a great gateway game to more complicated games, and I always find myself coming back to it.  The artwork always pulls me and my son loves playing 'Ze Germans.  They always had the coolest looking tanks. One problem with the game is the rules creep.  This is a good problem.  The game has brought many expansions and even "Spawned" a Cthulhu version called Shadows Over Normandie.  Plus, there have been Gazettes and releases of terrain tiles and  small expansions bringing in historical units.  Lots of stuff.  So much, that Iello and Devil Pig Games wrote a rules compendium. I found one written review for the Rules Compendium and didn't see any Youtube videos for it. So I made a video for anyone that wanted to see what is inside the book.  It is organized very well and presents the latest rules...
