Looks really cool. I only wish there was anybody to describe the action. I wonder how did the IF guns do, did the sniper rule the battlefield, how did the...
I can see that during WW2 most command sections included at least 1-2 runners. I didn't see them covered in the rules. Wouldn't it be interesting to allow...
Michal, we usually run a tight script on things like who can react to what. Usually we say that troops can only react to what they see or get communicated by...
it can be done pretty easily: Leaders can give orders (it's hard to rally anybody using a runner) either when in range, or over a radio, or a runner. as for...
Hi Michal, well the example I gave was extreme in that the Sherman would not react to the sounds of battle. But it would also work in any scenario that does...
... of ... I think that kind of rule would be better applied in a higher scope game. But in skirmish, all soldiers, leaders, etc, are in the thick of things....

Just watched a few epizodes of the Band of Brothers again, and one thing came to my mind: There's a scene where the paratroopers tell a tank commander about a ...
I would allow both your examples through Leadership cards only - the character in BoB did not have Leadership over the tank commander who in a game could then...
... character in BoB did not have Leadership over the tank commander who in a game could then fire on the building definitely you're right! but the other thing...
My inclination would be to say that as he is commander and gunner he can as commander (of himself!) open up on said building - why not? I would have no problem...
I've been playing Combat Mission (the computer game) quite a long time ago, and now I returned to playing this fine game. Re-reading the manual of the second...
I agree it makes sense. I was only afraid if it wouldn't be too powerful... But on the other hands disallowing this would hinder the poor commander even more ...
Combat Mission...oh great days of pc gaming - i particularly enjoyed the email gaming of this title. Alex [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Yeah, a game could take a few weeks. But I still haven't found a game to be a worthy successor - and as close to miniature wargaming as this one. Maybe only...
After reading the entries about various smoke grenades in Ian Hoggs books on weapons they don't seem very common. Also in all the books I've read about...
Now the way I got this rule always gave me the feeling that it would be a situation where most soldiers IRL would not do it. Simply firing at everything is...
I have never read an account of someone using smoke grenades either. I have heard them being used on the allied side for air recognition or as mortar shells,...
Maybe I am a bit pampered in this regard. The people I game with are easy on this and the same thing applies to those who play with us at conventions. Now we...
Now after a few month of constantly forgetting to download or buy it online, I finally bough "Act with Daring" at a convention yesterday (battle report should...
