Test of Battle Beda Fomm Scenario

The last revision of the Command Decision WWII wargame rules system was Command Decision: Test of Battle (see link below): 


The site itself does not seem to have been updated since 2011, however from here you can see the OrBats and scenario (see below, a screenshot of the British Order of Battle):


And the Italians too (see below, quite a few M13/40's required)


Command Decision formation morale values are shown (see below, not sure what game system WPD is referring to)


The aim for me is perhaps to do this in 10mm Pendrakon. It would be interesting to find out if CD: Test of Battle (or any other variant is still actively being played in the wargaming community). There does seem to be "some" activity on the linked CD:TOB forum.

I think CD is still played pretty actively. WPD was, iirc, Where Panzer Dare.

I ran a few early desert games remotely early in lockdown, happy to put another one on at some point. A lot of them are a bit small for NBC (The Pimple being one!) but I've got some others which would work.

Thanks Martin

Where Panzers Dare seems to be available as a Fistful of Tows 3 from the wargame vault:

Another desert game would be cool - the earlier the better ;)

I will have to bring out CD .. there was nothing much wrong with the first set (CD I) for a nice battalion game :)
