In Episode 4 Evan and Ben recount the “rigorous” playtesting of the “A Stand at Senonchamps” Chain of Command scenario and the effect of the streamlined forces. They also reflect on the startling lack of memory surrounding their convention games players’ names. Apparently tank and airplane statistics take up a lot of brain space. All jokes aside the boys divulge the excellent time they had hosting two of the Chain of Command games at Adepticon 2025.

Join Evan and Ben as they dive into TO&Es and the history books as they chat about Evan’s American Task Force Browne.
