Mentioned In Dispatches S14 E4 ~ The Operational Combat Series
21 February 2025 ~
The OCS games are one of the current standards of the industry for large-scale ‘monster’ games with a reputation for both complexity and consistency. Series rules are usable across almost all of the 20-odd games, and veteran players have literally hundreds of hours under their belts.
We talk about the scope of the series, how far before/after WW2 you could reasonably extend the series and why, the logistics model, the surprise mechanic, splitting roles across multiple players, and even a digression about bad dice.
A couple of relevant links
We love your feedback, over on the iTunes page for our podcast or on Spotify, or even Amazon or Castro, drop us a rating and let us know what you think. Thanks!
Thank you for visiting the Regiment of Strategy Gaming and riding with The Armchair Dragoons.
Rather than list a bunch of social media links, the easiest thing to do is to check out our LinkTree, which connects you to all of our various locales around the web.
You can also support The Armchair Dragoons through our Patreon, and find us at a variety of conventions and other events.
Feel free to talk back to us either in our discussion forum, or in the comments below.
