Operation Snakepit - Force on Force AARs & Scenarios

[Donogh]

Part 1 of a short campaign I ran at Conspiracy in Kilkenny at the weekend.

C Company of 40 Commando infiltrates along the Chinah Wadi during darkness. While the Afghan National Army clears Chinah they patrol into Khevalabad, where the forward line of enemy troops (FLET) is reckoned to be. As they move from compound to compound under the brightening sky all they find is empty buildings. Just as they think there will be no engagement, the Taliban open fire from the north and the west…

Taliban at top of Wadi rise up to strike at the British, but a fierce sandstorm blows up, preventing all long-range fire

Thanks Christian - what period/region are you thinking of playing?


A Company has been patrolling out of FOB Inkerman all day in response to intelligence reports. Simultaneously all over Helmand ISAF troops have been making heavy contacts with the Taliban. A mile and a half out of the FOB the marines begin to notice strange activity – there’s a small pause as both sides go for cover and then all hell breaks loose…

British move towards landing zone

Well, I've picked out some Eureka figures I'll be buying in a month or so. I will most certainly be buying their Afghan insurgents, but to fight them I'm still deciding. More than likely it will be the French Foreign Legion a la "Enduring Freedom" (according to Wikipedia).

As 1 Fury sweep round Musa Qala, taking the high ground in advance of the attack on the town itself, a Troop of the Scots Guards crosses the wadi to prevent any retreat southwards into the Green Zone…

Across the Wadi, Taliban wait guarding the crossing into Musa Qala; the Scot Guards exit the wadi to approach the village

Sangin has been pummelled in the first major Taliban offensive in ages, though they slipped away at nightfall, intelligence suggests they’ll be back in the morning. A Company of the Royal Gurkha Rifles is sweeping in between the river and the canal to cut off them off when the Taliban spring a surprise of their own…

Taliban engage the Gurkhas as they cross the open ground to take control of a compound
