Playing a bit of CoC and Longstreet
Heikki organised a CoC game based on a historical WW2 battle with a long range Finnish patrol fighting NKVD troops. History was reversed, the Finns launched furious charges and decimated the Soviets with their SMG fire. Heavy casualties all round. On another table Petri’s confederates trashed Eero’s Union army in a 1861 Longstreet game. As usual.
CoC Nijmegen taking the rail bridge

This time we tried our hand in a one-off big CoC game set in Poland. One infantry platoon and armoured support for each side. The Poles did not fare too …
