Overview
What ABG knows about this game
"Chain of Command" are the revolutionary new wargames miniatures rules designed for World War 2 platoon sized actions with some additional support. The rules are fast paced, exciting and fun, using the unique command and control system which presents the player with the battlefield decisions made by his historical counterpart. These are the rules Neil Shuck of Miniature Wargames described as "probably the best set of Skirmish rules I've ever played". At 104 pages, the book includes the rules, a scenario generation system and Army Lists for Britain, Germans, the United States and Soviet Union, a system allowing the gamer to select support depending on the scenario being played, so you can pit two well matched forces against each other for a fun and challenging gaming experience.
