If you thought CM could get a bit fiddly sometimes...


Recommended Posts

Back in college we used to do things like this. We had some battles they called "whoop-a$$" battles. 27'x6' table in a conference room in the student union on campus. Best one was when the other side fired off their Cosgreve rocket and panicked several of their own cavalry regiments right off the map to their rear. Much laughter. No drinking was the only downside (dry campus).

TBH that table is a hell of a lot quicker to set up than the equivalent play area in CM would be.....Ask a map maker!  ;)

Yeah, but the game play....

I tried to play for a while in a group of British soldier guys in Bielefeld, Germany, a loooong time ago. Unfortunately, they were quite fixed to table tops. Ancients, IIRC.

Anyway, one night during a session, they became quite agitated. Started mumbling something like “mega killing”. 😱 After checking rules and tables, the calculating started. And after only 15 more minutes they decided to remove one small unit from the table. 🤔

Needless to say: Being a board gamer, I was not too impressed. 😎
