Basically, I have read too many accounts of combat where units inexplicably stall or do the wrong thing, to assume all my little tin men will obey orders. I do like BKCII and CWC as well as FWC, in fact, scheduled to play a Tunisia game next week. Love it.. http://aleadodyssey.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/tunisia-1943-germans-6mm-bkcii.html<br /><br />If you are down in Canberra, we game every Thursday at the Deakin Bridge Club.<br />Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866756432233805848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-37501312508394251612013-08-23T14:48:23.515+10:002013-08-23T14:48:23.515+10:00I don'r believe that missed command rolls are ...I don'r believe that missed command rolls are the problem; it's successfully passing multiple rolls, especially when you're in a good firing position.<br /><br />To my mind allowing an automatic pass on the first roll defeats the object of having a random command system in the first place. Units close to the enemy have initiative actions as it is; those a longer distance away will sometimes get a command freeze. Frustrating, but there it is.<br /><br />But I play a lot of HOTT where you can get PIP rolls of 1 and effectively do next to nothing on a turn :)Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-82322121686642151452013-08-23T13:22:12.452+10:002013-08-23T13:22:12.452+10:00Yes theres been a lot of chatter about command rol...Yes theres been a lot of chatter about command rolls on TMP recently. One good idea is to allow everyone to pass their first command automatically - but still roll so you get the blunder or double move option...Sparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008013944950635778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-45504026901404325952013-08-23T11:28:26.476+10:002013-08-23T11:28:26.476+10:00I've played Future War Commander and Blitzkrie...I've played <i>Future War Commander</i> and <i>Blitzkrieg Commander</i>.

Give them a time limit as well (not too tight, but enough to force a couple of risky moves) and it could be an interesting scenario.<br /><br />They still need a few more tanks though :)Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-82946169353945878152013-08-23T08:00:53.440+10:002013-08-23T08:00:53.440+10:00Thanks Alan, great post.
