C in C Rules for Operational Games


Related image


I have to admit, I'm looking forward to our next operational outing as this will be the first time we have a C in C player for both sides.  Frank and Ozy have stepped up to the challenge and I am hoping that this will give another level of depth to the game and also make the game run more smoothly.

The following are the C in C rules.

- The C in C will issue all orders and draw command arrows.  These will be communicated to subordinates by text.  One order per subordinate player can be issued each turn.

- The C in C cannot move beyond the Reserve Table base line unless they deploy themselves as a unit and travel to visit their subordinates.  Whilst deployed they cannot communicate except by text.  If a C in C and subordinate commander are in contact on the same table they may talk together (this is the only opportunity for huddling in a corner and whispering!).

- The C in C may talk directly to their subordinates but the subordinate must be at the furthest forward table of their deployed units (this way we do not need complicated wireless intercept rules).

- The C in C is responsible for all reserve commitments.

- The C in C will coordinate all Aircraft attacks.

- The C in C will coordinate all off table artillery and be responsible for ammunition usage.

- Subordinate commanders are allowed to initiate break offs.


That's it!  Hopefully simple and fun.  Let me know if you can think of anything I have missed.  This should be my last blog amendment before the game.

Looking forward to this one. I hope everyone can make it down on Saturday. These new C in C rules will make the game better for everyone and take the command and control aspect away from the battalion commanders allowing hem to focus more on the action.

I would like to use the same setup when we do the Somme for WW1 which is something I am looking forward too also

This sounds like fun. Hope the phones work otherwise we'll need flags and we all know how that can turn out....
