Combat Command Matrix Edition: my mini review Part 2 - Joe98 - 03-26-2012 SUPPLY A unit traces a supply line to its Battalion HQ, which traces supply to its divisional HQ which traces supply to a hex or hexes on the edge of the map. In a traditional wargame, when a unit crosses a hex, even if the hex is not occupied, the hex now changes its ownership to the side that last crossed it. The opponent cannot draw supply through that hex. In Combat Command an opponent can still draw supply through that hex. This makes for a very fluid game as units can move back and forth without any great supply concerns. The only restrictions on supply are that supply cannot be drawn through a hex occupied by an enemy unit, through the ZOC of an enemy unit or across a major river without a bridge. PHASES. Each turn is split into phases and each side goes through one phase at a time. Some phases are resolved automatically so that from the players point of view the phases are: Movement Direct Fire Attack Phase Advance / Withdrawl phase EDITOR The scenario editor is very easy to use. Possibly the easiest in wargaming. The following screen shots are taken from the editor and I feel are self explanatory. ![[Image: CCME10.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME10.jpeg) ![[Image: CCME11.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME11.jpeg) The next screen shot is from the Guadacanal scenario ![[Image: CCME12.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME12.jpeg) The next is a portion of the Stalingrad map in the autumn with the units removed from the map ![[Image: CCME13.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME13.jpeg) The next is from the Hurtegon Forext ![[Image: CCME14.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME14.jpeg) A screen shot from Carentan ![[Image: CCME15.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME15.jpeg) And finally one from Bastogne ![[Image: CCME16.jpeg]](http://users.tpg.com.au/sueyoo//CCME16.jpeg) CONCLUSION This wargame is inexpensive and very simple. It is a joy to play! . . RE: Combat Command Matrix Edition: my mini review Part 2 - gabeeg - 03-31-2012 Thanks for the review Joe98! This is a great little game and underappreciated IMHO. I would like to see a ladder for it here at Blitz! RE: Combat Command Matrix Edition: my mini review Part 2 - junk2drive - 03-31-2012 Once they make the update final, hopefully it will gain a following. Not many company level games out there. If you like board games, this one will suit you well. RE: Combat Command Matrix Edition: my mini review Part 2 - lecrop - 04-01-2012 I love this game! a ladder would be great. RE: Combat Command Matrix Edition: my mini review Part 2 - Compass Rose - 04-01-2012 If enough members show interest in the game and it generates enough traffic on the forum, we would be more than willing to consider it.
