Scenario #117: “Avanti Tridentina, Avanti!” Set at Nikolaevka, Russia, on January 26, 1943, this scenario pits Italian troops from the Tridentina Alpine Division against Soviet forces blocking their escape. With the Italian Alpine Corps surrounded, breaking through means fighting past determined defenders in brutal winter conditions. Frozen waterways open new paths across the battlefield, but frozen weapons can derail an attack at the worst possible moment. Italian stragglers arriving later in the game bring reinforcements and a change in orders. Can the Italians push through, or will the Soviet line hold? Join us as we get some practice, work through tactical decisions, and enjoy the unpredictable action that makes Combat Commander one of my favorites. Expect some friendly banter along the way! 🎲 Scenario: #117, Avanti Tridentina, Avanti! ⚔️ Forces: Italians vs. Russians 📍 Setting: Nikolaevka, January 26, 1943 📝 Scenario designer: Bryan Collars 📖 Source: C3i Magazine, Issue #27 💬 How would you approach this scenario?

Solo Bots or Two-Handed? Pick Your Opponent! When you sit down to play a wargame solo, do you let a bot run the opposition, or take command of both sides? This week on the Zone Of Control Podcast, we’re talking solo wargaming from the perspective of more than 40 years in the hobby. We’ll discuss the freedom of playing two-handed, the challenge of giving both sides a fair shot, and what makes a solo system worth the effort. We’ll also get into card draws, chit pulls, random events, and the mechanics that keep us guessing. I’ll share what I enjoy about RAF and its card-driven take on the Battle of Britain, and we’ll tackle a familiar frustration. When does running the bot start feeling like a second job? Join the conversation and tell us how you play. What’s your favorite solo wargame? Do you prefer a dedicated solo system, or are you happy switching sides of the table? And be honest, do you ever catch yourself rooting for one army? Subscribe to Cardboard Commander, give the video a thumbs up, and leave your thoughts in the comments. There’s always room for another wargamer at the table! 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
