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...

Urban Operations Overview

By
I finally have had some nice sit down and play time with Urban Operations.  I took my time jumping in because I was intimidated by the rules.  Not that they are overly complicated, but that they weren't very intuitive for me to follow on the first read through.  After my second read through a few weeks later, I finally laid out the pieces and gave the game a go.  This for me is definitely a game you need to play as you read the rules.  Everything started to click once I had it out and in motion. Probably the most unique thing to the game is the concept of weapon effect.  Most of us have seen this in videos, movies, or in person.  It's the representation of the shockwave, concussions, blasts, fire etc. when firing certain weapons or triggering explosions.  There is a simple mechanic marked on each unit card giving the details of this effect on the game board and how it interacts with troops.  This helps to bring the game into the realm of...

Old School Tactical East Front Turn 1

By
It has begun.  After setting up the forces, I have actually started playing the game.  Since this is my first actual play through, I decided to keep the rule book handy.  I really wanted to play the game as close to the rules as possible and make sure to share the page and rule section I'm looking at as I play.  This of course led to a much slower game than I'm sure is intended, but as with most games. once you learn it, the game will play quicker. I did find mistakes as I played, but I did try to correct myself as I played and I think I caught most mistakes.  The first big mistake I made is that vehicles do not do group movement.  I even read over that the other day as I brushed up on fire groups and still made that mistake.  Also, learning how to properly apply the combat modifiers when using the combat charts will still take some time.  It's not overly complicated, but sometimes rules interpretation may lead to mistakes. I'm hoping that for...
