Well, we played the aid convoy escort game earlier today (Friday). Ted and Gene played the Aid convoy and its escorts, and I played the rebelling Gambolans. We played 20 turns using Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles, in about 3.5 hours. I took 48 photos. I plan to post the AAR in 3 parts, hopefully starting tomorrow (Saturday). But first, here's a teaser of the action...
1LT Garner wasn't sure he had made the right decision, taking the Secondary Supply Route. The shit had hit the fan, and he had the makings of a real clusterf**k on his hands. The convoy had taken fire from the buildings and the streets up and down its length, and things didn't look good. Everything was all bunched up on the tight street on the outskirts of Bangerizi. He turn to SP4 Hollister "Gimme the mike, and get me on the company net". Once he had the handset - "Black 6, Blue 6, SITREP, over", he said a bit excitedly. The speaker in his handset sounded back "Blue 6, send it, over". "Black 6, We are just east of Phase Line Gunsmoke. Request quebec-romeo-foxtrot. I have 2 victors kilo-oscar, 2 victors damaged, and 5 rangers down. Taking fire the length of the convoy. I say again, request quebec-romeo-foxtrot, over." "Blue 6, roger. Affirmative on quebec-romeo-foxtrot. Echo-tango-alfa 1-0 mikes. How copy, over?. Lt. Garner responded, still somewhat excited "Roger. Lima tango. 1-0 mikes. Over." CPT Cahill replied "Roger, Black 6 out."
Lt. Garner tossed the handset back to Hollister in the back set of the Humvee. He looked out through the bullet-pocked windows of the Humvee, and could see the burning 5-ton to the left rear to his vehicle. His Rangers that had been on the truck were alternately returning fire from the street and trying to tend to their wounded. The Loyal Gambolan Raiders in the truck in front of them were firing to their left as well. And PFC Arness was up on the .50-cal, pumping rounds at the enemy to their left. And he could hear small arms and machine gun fire behind him. Lt. Garner rather fervently hoped the QRF would get there in time...
As I said, full 3-part AAR to follow...
