Luftwaffe Felt division jäger platoon, Chain of Command



I have painted a small platoon of Luftwaffe Field division light infantry. And when I say small I mean it... these are 15mm miniatures.

The miniatures are old Flames of War miniatures I had laying around from an Flames of War army that never was finalised. It feels good to at last give the miniatures the love they deserved.
They are now singlebased to be used in Chain of Command games.

The Luftwaffe field troops were air mechanics, airfield personal and such that was pressed to front-line service, a role they hardly were trained for and would often suffer horrific casualties.

Besides giving them Luftwaffe camouflage and blueish tinted uniforms I have painted their shoulder cuffs in bright green showing these are jägers, light infantry.

They were rather fun to paint and they will need some support if they are to stand any chances against their enemies. But I havnt decided on what to paint next in this project.

And acompanied the platoon is also a medical orderly, Im guessing he will have to do a lot of work on these poor souls on first contact with the enemy...










 











And best of all, a 15mm force takes almost no space.
Perfect for a smaller sideproject....

Chain of Command test game, AAR


We had a small test game of Chain of Command some weeks ago.
Two of the members of the club had played CoC before, but it was some time ago. I have the rules but have mostly watched battle reports on YouTube. Im more then sure we made lots of mistakes rulewise but we had fun nonetheless.

I had speedpainted up some miniatures representing a platoon from the 16th Luftwaffe Feltdivision to take part of the testgame.

 


This was a really fun game with lots of potential. Im sure that when we learn the rules properly we can speed up the gameplay and have even more fun.
Chain of Command seems to be a game that I could have lots of fun playing. And as we have decided to play it in 15mm we already have lots of old Flames of War terrain and I have a rather large Flames of War collection still Im sure that I can reuse the vehicles and maybe with some rebasing the infantry of heavier weaponry also.

It seems that lots of members in the clubs are starting to get somewhat eagerly to test something new, taking a step back from 40k or AoS and even if Chain of Command is not a direct replacement for those games Im sure this could lead to lots and lots of fun games.

Here are some picture taken from the last game we had in "Zettans", a local gaming café some time ago.
