Title: "Oscar Sierra Charlie" in Soviet held Afghanistan
Post by: Mac on 27 July 2017, 08:38:07 AM

This was our second game of the modern and near future skirmish rules, Oscar Sierra Charlie (OSC) from Evil Bear.

This game was a clash between a Soviet Spetsnaz (level 6) squad and Mujahideen freedom fighters somewhere in Afghanistan in 1983. Both sides rolled the 'command' scenario.

 In the lower half of the picture below you can see the Soviet deployment point is the back half of that BTR-70.

True to form, the Mujahideen are deploying out of the camels at the top of the picture.

With the flowing moves that OSC does so well, a Mujahideen fighter advances to cover the same ground, not noticing that Vladimir had sprinted up to 'double tap' him from the rear.

Learning the lesson, the Mujahideen positioned sniper to dominate the road, there he annoyed the Soviets for the rest of the game.

That's a nice looking table. I like the little details such as the washing line.

A very good read.
Love your terrain.
Have had a ton of the same figures.
Have the Mujahideen painted need to do the other guys.
