Despite living in the capital for years now, I usually only attend to do some shopping and a bit of gawking. This year, I was invited as a spare to the Too Fat Lardies <i>Chain of Command</i> campaign weekend. There was a real chance a few players' schedules might be shaky, the Australia CoC scene is always recruiting, and I'm local: a great combination.</p><p>The campaign day was run by a chap named Steve, who is probably now in my top-five Friendly Wargaming Lads. We'd never met, but you'd never know it for how welcoming and chill he was, happy to explain rules, point out fun details, and just generally be a chill bloke. He also ran a fun weekend, with an interesting scenario - <a href="http://iagsmgm.blogspot.com/">on some <i>very</i> fine terrain by John Bond</a>.</p><p>The scenario is as follows: Some time following the Normandy invasion, the British are pushing into this French town. Day One (Saturday AM) involves crossing the fields and entering the town proper. Day Two (Saturday PM) is attempting to make the bridge. Day Three (Sunday AM), the Germans have to hold the bridge itself or blow it. Day Four (Sunday PM) was flexible, depending on the previous days, but there was a chance for German armour to arrive and retake the British side.</p><p>In the end, the games fought to a standstill over the bridge - the Brits were held in place and didn't cross, but the bridge stayed open. I only fought a few rounds, rolling some dice during Sunday AM, but it was great fun and really sealed the deal on me digging out those Early War Poles...</p><a name='more'></a><b>Saturday: </b>The British cross the fields into the shelled French town. A lot of open, boggy terrain to cover.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXUcPmtres_7zVV6OACB76ex521MKgo4ecPWXDkfkDy81qa8NL6vJngodGjYecTFI644Y4-qBY7P3bxoexpr2eCUqpOmKoFovLv4CoK-LaJYIyHa6-aW43MM6BjikJpGoPZ2LLGDncpz_vqVi4iJ8I9SyfT9qf4YQlTWVzZh-XI2Tdg1lAplACzNXGg/s4080/PXL_20230121_040154966.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

He's even convinced me to be a backup player in case one of the others has to leave early and cannot finish the campaign. Of course, I've never <i>played</i> a game of Chain of Command, although I am interested in the increased historical verisimilitude of it over its main competitors. </p><p>So we decided to head to the local store and bodge together some terrain and play an intro game. Jolt has an incredible selection of terrain, but it's mostly intended for far-future or vaguely fantasy settings, and it also turned out that every single local gamer wanted to test their armies before this weekend's tournament scene at CanCon. But we made do with the above layout. A forked road, a burning farm, some rough cliffs and pine forests, an ancient church. Could be somewhere in Europe, sure.</p><p>Al brought me an infantry platoon of horrible fascists, reinforced with an additional <i>Senior Leader</i> (Keptain Köwærd); he brought an adhoc platoon-sized contingents of French rebels, communists, and jumped-up peasants, reinforced with some stolen submachine guns and a backwoodsman calling himself a sniper. Both sides had low morale; it was freezing, there is little food, and nobody wants to die for their fatherland in the arse-end of nowhere.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHY-xYnVjhQ__KL9tb7QoDJ247TKW_peodWEI9yq32FMHFOJfdzCK6doI_kjEJAESykQPKrM-XSvSt5OuWiJ_BCDHuKHc2ZqOkmc69ovSDE1Hl9ALcD7ZA7X2iuNvrEyPYU-XwPcv-oCM4nDdIIASCRtmdk9cAozfFTiJCORmvzYZENOhqiWmMVDCwg/s4080/PXL_20230119_085842086.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHY-xYnVjhQ__KL9tb7QoDJ247TKW_peodWEI9yq32FMHFOJfdzCK6doI_kjEJAESykQPKrM-XSvSt5OuWiJ_BCDHuKHc2ZqOkmc69ovSDE1Hl9ALcD7ZA7X2iuNvrEyPYU-XwPcv-oCM4nDdIIASCRtmdk9cAozfFTiJCORmvzYZENOhqiWmMVDCwg/w400-h301/PXL_20230119_085842086.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">fascists cower in the gutted church</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>My favourite thing about Chain of Command is the initial <i>patrol</i> phase.

One lacked an icon, for instance, and I wanted more of the fun equipment that 8/9th has brought to Mortarion's Chosen.</p><p>So I painted and converted a few more lads.

The <a href="https://www.games-workshop.com/en-AU/Death-Guard-Plague-Marines-2020">actual kit</a> is basically just a big axe, which is fine if a little dull - and it's unclear why a big metal thing would do more damage than powered weapons would. Instead, why not something clearly blessed by the dark powers, something in keeping with Nurgle and Mortarion's other themes? Plus, I have all these scythes lying around from other projects...<div><br /></div><div>Again, this is a metal monopose from the early-2000s. This fellow's gas masked head works well with the implacable reaper look. The scythe's little bony arms are probably too small for the marine's proportions, but for my money this just adds to the withered, pathetic look.

The shield is self-evidently a classic Chaos Warrior shield I had for some reason.

So I should be able to use the team without too much trouble - if littlemangs and I ever get around to seeing one other in real life, that is.</div><div><br /></div><div>Presenting the Lemuria Leopards!</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4SIub1ZpEN8uJxHgBhzgbbmAJQszZal5wgdGVoww3IXDXAyjjWn3TnHdi-RbZDCFxTWxZZqdwSHcWSwb9DW4OhDOc--24sSYPAAz8Douk7ohSFm87bRzcfiAQgJbrAUENYeEKRHxGDq_OLKFENsKF8C3KDC4eRq22VLgNkRG3fkmxoYDTWKdx-uWUjw/s3483/20220606_193409.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1492" data-original-width="3483" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4SIub1ZpEN8uJxHgBhzgbbmAJQszZal5wgdGVoww3IXDXAyjjWn3TnHdi-RbZDCFxTWxZZqdwSHcWSwb9DW4OhDOc--24sSYPAAz8Douk7ohSFm87bRzcfiAQgJbrAUENYeEKRHxGDq_OLKFENsKF8C3KDC4eRq22VLgNkRG3fkmxoYDTWKdx-uWUjw/w400-h171/20220606_193409.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">jaguar warrior blitzers [blockers]</td></tr></tbody></table><br />I've gone with a classic turquoise scheme with bone armour and position-based feather headresses.

It's been an unforgivably busy month at work and with the <a href="https://oldworldarmychallenge.blogspot.com/">Old World Army Challenge</a>, with April not shaking out much better. This means that you will have to settle for some snapshots and my vague recollections.</p><p>On the other hand, this is the first match of the <b>League of Two-As-Four</b>, where Mangs and I take our four Blood Bowl teams and mash them against each other. Two coaches! Four teams! For games where we play against ourselves,* we will hand control of the team to the other coach. Fun! The team roster looks like this:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><table>
