*Note apologies for the audio in this one. We had some mic issues.* Jon and Mark try out a game of Clash of Steel. This 100 point game sees the Germans take on the British!
Thanks for playing & posting the game. This is only the second COS battle report I have seen on RU-vid. I actually had expected more. I am almost done building the models from three US vs Soviet Starter Sets. I am looking forward to playing. Based on the two battle reports, it appears the game turn into a melee around the objectives, which gets crowded. Hope you guys play some more and post them as available. Thanks again.
I think I saw in the rulebook tank start the game "camouflaged", which gives tank a +2 to hit even if it starts in flat, open terrain. It is similar to the FOW rule for gun teams and infantry that start the game in foxhole. Hence, the Maus needed an 8 to hit the Comet on turn 1. The explanation is tank have set up camouflage net on it at the start of the battle.
The way players choose the mission and mission rules is pretty interesting. I can imagine the amount of different combinations will keep you on your toes. The objectives giving bonuses is also a nice touch. I do wonder what gap this game is going to fill. Is it simply a more tank-focused FoW? Because those games already exist.
@@michaelwain3198That's... Not true. The main formation Is all the leviathan tanks but you can have supporting units from bulge British. So that means you can have a platoon of supporting fireflies
@@rustytanks9425 Where does it say that in CoS? I can't see anywhere, where it says you can use tanks from Flames of War books. That's a different game (although the same core rules) with a different points values. So you literally can't use Fireflies in CoS as they are currently in any CoS forces. Until it specifically says you can use tanks and point values from Flames of War, you can't, simple as that
Battlefront: a company that convinced you to buy big tanks, then made it so they never won, so releases a game of just tank to get to buy more useless models, then again the big tanks lose. Thanks for the report. Mark is my favorite of your opponents.
