Third Chain of Command game played recently. Following the mission list in order, it's Attack & Defend with the Germans defending a village over a river. A well-placed mortar strike pinned a large number of German defenders for a few turns, allowing the British to claim the left objective

Recently got the hang of Tablestop Simulator so played our first Chain of Command game. The Germans got pinned down in the patrol phase early so led to a bit of a stalemate so far
