Brilliant game as always chaps. Nice to see the French on the table. Your terrain is getting better and better and looks great. Roll on some more CoC games. 😉
Early War does make for some *excellent* games. The Platoon structures are less honed, and the technology so much less devastating, which makes for a much more thoughtful style of play.
Best game for the period in my opinion. Really great terrain. Do you guys do any hobby tutorials? I'd love to see how those modular roads were made. Or where they were purchased.
Excellent game, glad to see you back on the CoC. Was Andrez live streaming in the background or who was the disembodied voice... Aha, just listened to the wrap up.
Another awesome video - good to see some early war scenarios. Had a question though. At about 25:00, when the tank fired on the AT gun, you split the hits between it and the MG team. It looks like the AT gun was in hard cover because of the gun shield; but, the MG team was only in soft cover. I seem to remember that if units are in different levels of cover, you can concentrate fire and don’t have to split the hits. Couldn’t the tank have singled out the AT gun? I played in a game not too long ago and my opponent pulled out that rule on me - knocked out my tripod MG in an entrenchment, even though there was a squad right next to it in soft cover.
Jim Johnson you can focus fire on the one in the lesser cover. But not the other way around. If you want to hit the gun you still have to split in this case.
Incorrect. R35 tank had anywhere from 15mm to 40mm of armor. No more. Pak 36, with its anti-armor shell, could penetrate armor as follows: at 100 m 64 mm of armor at 500 m 31 mm of armor at 1000 m 22 mm of armor
@UCZSLpc9KGtINfSM6xpOn28w in the game mechanics an R35 has five dice vs D2 at three. Also the round you quote was not available till 41, which is after the fall of France if my understanding of sequential number theory is correct.
@@dancarson1479 The Tungsten was available at the end of 1940. Furthermore, Pak 36 was easily able to destroy/disable 90%+ of all early war tanks including Russian ones save for the T34 (which it wasn't able to even damage until Pak 36 had its tungsten anti-armor round implemented in late 1940). Per the game mechanics, you are correct in citing the dice disparity between these two types of units/pieces. Your original statement was generic so I did not understand it to be solely relegated to "game mechanics" and not historical fact. No matter, this game has ended c'est la vie.
@@wargamesimulation you can’t go wrong with the Sicily mat. But if you have a specific theater you are fighting in like desert or winter they have mats for those too. Check out the geek villain web site to see them all.
@@tabletopcp oh yes I saw them an they are all amazing! But I wanted to know which type is the better between the fleeces and the clothe mat please? About the texture, the touching and looking. Thx
When the VBs were firing at the squads behind the hedges, shouldn't the targets have counted as in the open? Meaning 3s inflict Shock, and 5s become kills?
Best wargame channel on UA-cam.
Amazingly close game. Very enjoyable to watch as it went back and forth.
Looked like fun, and that's the point.
Another great CoC game. A really good video for new starters too!

Very close one the Westermann thing was epic, glad it only was a flesh wound.
Its very good the Westermann clad is very expansive * -]
nice Battlereport, thanks!

Nice little game and it ebbed and flowed and could of gone either way at times.....cheers

Need to do a Gemboux Gap Campaign.
Great battle report. Too bad about that tank, 😣. Excellent stuff.
Love the music
Hard fought win for the French! Great game!
Nice report

Ah - ok. Thanks for the clarification!

Hey nice battle report! Is it a fleece mat or clothes mat?
It’s a fleece mat. The Sicily mat by Geek Villain.
@@tabletopcp which one do you recommend me? Between the clothe one and the fleeces one please!
Thx

@@wargamesimulation I have a review video for the cloth versus fleece mat on the channel somewhere

Joel Short yes. Unless they were pinned which put them in hard cover reduced to soft cover by the HE.
