The first phase of the battle was the tough part. Getting my troops in good organization and supply was hard. Capturing the first airfield and Mt. Suribachi was a tough fight. Part two is different.

The Tuesday Interview – Command Post Games

Marshall Barrington gives us an extended low-down on Command Post Games ~

Jim Owczarski, 7 March 2017

I first caught wind of Command Post Games via its Kickstarter for Pub Battles: Brandywine.  Here was a war game played on a period map, made of canvas no less, with blocks that looked an awful lot like kriegsspiel pieces, and that trumpeted that it had fewer than five pages of rules.  That, a beautiful brass measuring compass, and, oh yes, their kriegsspiel dice, made me a pretty quick fan.

Given all this, I decided to ask CPG’s Marshall Barrington about the company’s past, its future plans, and what it has against the the Little Corporal.
