1st Section

 

Welcome to 1st Section.

Following retirement a year or so ago I find my self with too much time on my hands to not only paint and wargame, but also to now put pen to paper and write a little about my journey and enjoyment in playing the excellent Chain of Command Rules using 15mm figures.

Chain of Command v2 are "rules for WWII combat at platoon level" which is very much the level at which I enjoy gaming - one figure represents on man. The rules are designed to be scale agnostic, but 28mm, 20mm or 15mm seem to be scales at which the majority of games are played with a table 6' x 4' or larger recommended. 

But what if your table is not that big? - I'll come back to this in a later post

A few years ago when I started getting back into wargaming I was very keen to use 28mm figures as I am also a keen figure painter. (That had been my primary hobby for a good while). I had only painted a few figures when I thought that I would be better off dropping down to 20mm, as this would reduce painting time and figure costs. Having painted a platoon or so of figures I started to consider terrain elements and scratch built a couple of buildings. But again at this stage I started to wonder how much storage space I would need for 20mm. And so last year I again stepped down a scale to 15mm and it was a game changer.
