Operation Drop Bear – Building The Platoon

I’ve previously mentioned that, as part of my Long War series against the tactics of the Dastardly Regular Opponent, we would shortly begin a Pint Size Campaign-inspired set of missions pitting our tactical minds against each other in the deserts of North Africa. After some research, and agreeing to play some games with the Germans…

SITREP: Back To Arnhem Boys!

Listen, you may not know this, but I have a thing about Operation Market Garden in WW2. Probably because the first game I actually tried to sit down and learn to play (rather than simply slapping the buttons to see if it worked) was Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far. Not the best choice for…

The Long War: Part 0 – Remembering How The Game Works

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of Too Fat Lardies Chain of Command. You’ll also know that my Dastardly Regular Opponent is also keen on the game. Before the Great Move, we had roughly scheduled gaming into our calendars once a month (the most frequent we…
