I love campaigns, they always give the action on table in a wargame more drama and context. Chain of Command is no exception to this, thanks largely to the excellent campaign supplement At the Sharp End. If you haven’t got a copy of that go grab one now. It’s dirt cheap and it’ll really enhance your games.
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to war we go!
Writing and running your own campaigns is a lot of fun, but there are also loads available off the peg. So far the early and late western front is very well covered. The next Pint Sized Campaign in the pipeline covers Kursk, which is a very much-needed addition to the Eastern Front lineup. The SCW and WW1 also get a look in. Nothing yet for other theatres, get writing folks!
