Chain of Command 2nd Edition!
TFL has announced that they will be releasing a 2nd Edition of Chain of Command! Or CoC2. I’m not sure of the exact naming format. This is great news. While Chain of Command is our favourite game, it could use some work.
We’ve been house-ruling some aspects of the rules already. Mortars are an issue. 20mm cannon fire is less useful than a .50 cal, which is an issue. The use of red dice, from the 1940 Blitzkreig supplement, is inspired and should be used for other areas.
Guess what? TFL is polishing up the rules to reflect their later releases, clarify confusing rules, capture lessons from the forum, and I am very excited. The first rule-set was very much a work of passion. Now TFL is a more mature company and I’m looking forward to play the 2nd Edition when it arrives!

I agree, this is an opportunity to make something good into something really excellent. There is much that could be done in terms of structure of the rule book and general user friendliness, as well as obvious typos etc. Im also hoping they will go for a more coffee-table type format with better quality illustrations, binding and so on. But that doesnt quite seem to be their style… BTW, welcome back, and sorry to hear about all the spam.
Thanks, it’s good to be back! The spam was both funny and annoying. Now that I’m logging in daily I’ll be able to keep on top of it. The Blitzkreig book was pretty good, I’m hoping the new book is like that.
