Combat Mission II

Sometimes you find yourself playing an old computer game that you once loved many years ago. Marc rediscovered Combat Mission and with no prodding at all I found myself back in the commander's seat - setting waypoints and seeking hull-down positions!

We've been playing head-to-head when we are both free (my sleeping patterns make this difficult) and otherwise indulging in a few concurrent email battles - I'd also forgotten the delight of finding fresh turns in my inbox :)

King Tiger puts a shot into a nearby lend-lease halftrack
and against all odds it survives! Marc's halftracks have
been doing surprisingly well this match

Jagdtiger puts a round into the side of an IS-2 and knocks it out

Plans are still floating around for our painting and terrain-making session for non-computer WW2 gaming. My nightshift work/sleep pattern makes it tricky to find a time that suits both of us but we are both enthusiastic about the period and I am amused by the idea of having three different WW2 games on the boil at once (Combat Mission, War at Sea and Flames of War).
