Chain of Command AAR: Teaching game

Friday evening and another game of Chain of Command. 

This time a teaching game for a new player without own army and so we declared the game to be a manoeuvre between a US Armoured Rifle Infantry platoon and a US Parachute Infantry platoon shortly before sailing to Europe.

The battlefield with the JoPs in place.

Paras defending with losses mounting.

Armoured Infantry in the attack suffering from the well aimed salvos of the Paras.

MG teams in covering position.

The HQ squad of the Armoured Infantry trying to use every available cover.

"Foorwaaard"

M5 Stuart trying to hold down the Armoured Infantry.

But a 37mm Anti-Tank gun has moved into postion to repell the M5

Close-up of the Anti-Tank gun.

A squad of Armoured Infantry storms buildings defended by Paras - a short time later the remnants flee the battlefield.

Hard fought game with Force Moral of both sides dropping rapidly and neither side on the way to gaining an advantage for itself.

So we called it a day and we agreed to a draw in the end.
