Chain of Command: Many Rivers to Cross Campaign Game One

After a couple of dry runs playing Chain of Command. At the weekend we started “Many Rivers to Cross” campaign from the 2018 Lardy Special. The first game, fought on Map Two: The Village, of the Ladder campaign saw a German First Wave platoon in the vanguard of the assault. 

The German’s made good progress attacking in the wake of a Stuka bombardment not really being effected by French counter battery fire. As a result the made it to the village before any real French intervention. 

Has the Germans closed on one of their objectives near the Great War Memorial the end of turn and the end bombardment, allowing the French to deploy and defend the objectives.

By focusing on one of the German section and although the Germans were very close to capturing an objective, the French successfully eroded their Force Morale to zero theeby winning the game.

Carnevale: Guild Civil War

The set up for the latest game of Carnevale: The game was a Guild civil war. The King Thieves has charged 'King for the Day' and his Pulcinella to pay the House of Virtue a visit and collect the outstanding taxes. He didn't want to go himself, so to distance himself from the events and not to slurry relations with the Madame.

The House of Virtue fought hard to defend their hard earned monies from "King or the Day" & his Pulcininellas tax collectors. Racing over roof tops to cut them off before they located the treasure. The King for the Day did a fantastic job smash and grab raid to secure the prize.

It was followed by a frantic battle to get the "King of Thieves" taxes back to him which ultimately cost him his life when the Madame caught up with him. Nevertheless, the ostrich rider was standing by to ride off with their prize. A great game with loads of laughs an a brilliant result for the Pulcininellas.
