Pegasus Bridge - Chain of Command

Play-tested my buddy's Pegasus Bridge game using Chain of Command today. He'll be hosting it a Enfilade in May. Enjoyed the game - particularly as two of the players are well-versed with the rules. Although I only play the rules when others host it, and this not often, I think I've actually picked up most of the core/basic rules. My buddy, the host, and I ran the Germans. He's recreated the table using scratch-built buildings and terrain to match the actual historical ones as close as possible.

The initial "Patrol" phase lock down of units is lot easier to visualize using a cuople of laser beams.
This was the third time the others played this scenario (my first time), and it ended up a British victory after a few German units had been eliminated, and the British still holding the nearside of the bridge.
The bridge is from Sarissa.
The view from the Germans' side.
British Airborne in cover in the center of the table.
More of the British Airborne on the opposite side of the road.
I had some really good rolls during shooting - lots of 6's and 5's.
A lot of smoke was laid down by both sides.
The one hand-to-hand engagement during the game - on the British right flank. The Germans took heavy casaulties from their attack.
The was held in the historic building at Fort Steilacoom - the host is a member of the historical society there. He's actually on the hand-receipt for the buildings.
Well, it was a nice day - almost too nice weather to be inside, but as there are a lot of windows it was okay - plus there is supposed to sunny weather all next week too. Thanks for checking out the blog and wishing you all the best.

  1. Great looking, game! You are right that it was almost too nice of a day to be inside. Nearly touched 70F on the east side of the state today.
