Plotting Ops at Goose Green in the Tactical COMMAND Series from Multi-Man Publishing
As you likely can discern from my article title, TCS in my mind is better described as the Tactical COMMAND Series because the true heart of the game model is not combat, but command.

One for JD, I suspect.

Yep. It's on its way from SCG  :groovy:

I'm interested to see how this plays out - 20-30 minutes per turn and 39 turns!

My group took a stab at Goose Green one night recently, skipping the Command elements so that we could learn the fire & maneuver rules first. We only had a few hours, and only one of us had read the rules yet. They do look interesting, as an essential part of the puzzle of command.

As do I. One of the reasons I joined up.

As for the game - I'm a tad concerned about the command system. I've never come across anything like that - might be a bit complicated for ma wee heed.

ALso - very small counter mix given the size of the maps...I'm both surprised and intrigued.

This one will be at the 2024 Fall Assembly, with a focus on the Op Sheets and mission planning process, as a part of teaching the game

I look forward to reading about that. Will it be in written form?
