Set up ready to game tomorrow.
Prologue: High value target convoy was ambushed by insurgents in a small town en route to the airport.
Luckily the HVT survived along with 4 private security contractors, but their 3 vehicles & the rest of the detail were kia.
They are trying to make good their escape by `borrowing` any vehicle they happen across & getting the `hell outa dodge!`
The lay of the land:
-
The deployment:
Blue star: HVT & security
Red stars: Insurgents
Arrows: Vehicle objectives (Only 1 is needed for transport off table)
-
The HVT will deploy at the same time as the farthest away insurgents.
The other insurgents will deploy 1 move after.
The HVT & detail & some further terrain pics.
AAR will follow tomorrow.
-
Wow, super terrain.
Well done.
What rules did you use to play?
-
That's a great little set up :)
Not my genre at all but I do appreciate good terrain :D
cheers

Great set up.love the Grafitti!

The Tali muster
The Tali had 7 Aks between them & 1 rpd lmg.
The Contractors all had car 15 types, 1 with an ugl & backed up by an auto shotgun & sidearms. Not a grenade left between them!
-
So the Tali raced forward, local knowledge helping them make a quick n steady progress.
2 took to the roof tops, but they were spotted & a 40mm grenade was fired their way, missed but dropped between them, pinning them both down.
-
The Tali passed their morale & eventually spotted the guy shooting at them. Exchanges of fire resulted in no hits & passed morale all round.
The contractors moved forward in bounds & just as Ginge was about to scramble over a wall a Tali popped into view.
Snapshot!
Missed 8(
-
Sensing an `Oh sh*t` moment I waited tentively.
I didn't have to wait long. The Tali who popped into view was the rpd gunner & after successfully spotting Ginge he let rip, hitting him numerous times & tearing through the light armour.
Ginge was kia!
-
That was the start of the downward spiral...
Failed morale checks by the HVT & the ugl guy resulted in both having to retreat & being pinned. Both sought solace behind a wall to their rear.
-
Another Tali popped into view behind a wall but the resulting shot again missed its mark..WTF!
Shottie man rushed over to see if he could help Ginge in any way but soon realised he was beyond help & was hit for a light wound. He managed to shoot the rpd guy causing a serious wound then tried to scramble over the wall into cover but was hit again causing him to go unconscious!! OMG!
Blackie (his nickname due to his excessive use of black hair dye) was trying to hold thing together as best he could & was about to move back to see what the delay of his buddies were, when suddenly he was charged close quarters by a screaming Tali!
-
Instinct & training took over resulting in 1 dead guy.
Blackie pulled back over the wall to see that Ginge & shottie were down & there was no sign of the HVT or ugl guy.
In fact ugl guy, critically failed his pinned morale test resulting in him running off board being captured later.
The HVT passed his morale but seeing his employee scarper off also decided to feck off.
Unfortunately for Blackie as he turned to make his way back towards the vehicle he had spotted he failed to see a Tali appear above him resulting in a critical wound then bleeding out 8(
-
All in all an unmitigated disaster!
The ugl guy & HVT were later captured, paraded for media exploitation then executed.....Sigh.
Here are some markers ive had made up for the game btw.
Top row is light wound, medium wound, serious wound then critical wound.
2nd row is pinned & a couple of markers to show placed ieds.
-
Excellent report.
Love your photos.
Bad day for the Contractors.
-
Absolutely awesome report Daz and a fantastic looking table too!
The contractors weren't worth their money by the looks of it!
Look forward to seeing more from you! :D
-
Fantastic write up!
The terrain & figs look amazing :-*
Are the contractors from Spectre miniatures? What do you think of them compared to Empress Miniatures etc...?

Cheers for the kind words.
Yup the contractors are spectre.
They fit nicely alongside the empress & eureka minis.
I recommend all 3 companies, although I have mainly spectre/empress.

Once the storm has passed....(A continuation of the first scenario, keeping the garage board & adding another).
The intel gathering went into overdrive upon the world seeing the execution of the HVT & his contractor.
It wasn't long before an analyst intercepted various calls incoming to a mobile phone over the 2 weeks after, congratulating them on a job well done versus the infidels.
That combined with groundwork conducted by CIA operatives within the area resulted in a well known `dicker` being nabbed during a regular trip of his out of town.
`Persuasion` revealed the name of the local warlord responsible for the acts. It also revealed that he was also a skilled bomb maker & had been the one responsible for the increase in ied attacks against allied forces.
So a plan was formulated & approx. 6 weeks later, the green light was given.
His residence was identified & it was established that the garage also fronted the ied operation.
A CIA direct action specialist would be on the ground, directing the 6 man Delta team into operation.
They would enter the area hidden in the rear of a converted unimog & in partial disguise within the cab.
With dawn about to break they will arrive at their decamp spot, rush to the tgt residence rear & breach the rear, terminate any guards & capture the warlord & gather intel quickly.
The CIA specialist will cover the front entrance.
Worse case the warlord must be neutralised BUT this is a last resort only!
ROE also apply, so no shooting unless a definite threat is observed.
Extraction is back to the unimog & hi tail it away.
It is a high risk environment so speed is of the essence.
Initial set up & the Delta guys & CIA dude.
-
The warlord & the front of the his residence & the garage/bomb factory.
-
The CIA specialist on the ground, in disguise ready....and his view.
-
The unimog arrives...

Best laid plan...

AAR to follow... :)
-
LOVELY pictures there!
-
Looking forward to it
-
Awesome stuff again Daz! Thoroughly looking forward to seeing how it all pans out!
Let's hope it's not like that PMC disaster previously! ;)
-
The unimog came to a halt & Delta quickly de-bussed, ditching the makeshift disguises, those in the front had.
`Jack` leads the way, followed by `Gray; Pete; Mikey & Guy`.
They quickly advanced towards the target compound, leaving `Brad` the saw gunner on overwatch,by the mog, covering their 6.
`Guy` drops short & kneels by a wall. Sweeping his M249 in the 3 o clock arc, he see`s goats & a young herder...
-
The herder,`Gol`is in his 16th year.
Apart from the goats, his pride n joy is the AK47 given to him on his birthday.
He treats it well & whenever he collects the goats, always leaves it amongst the rubble, wrapped in a sheet, so upon his return, he can quickly grab it & go for target practise without waking his fretting mother.
The tinkling of goat bells is broken by the sound of a vehicle coming to an abrupt halt & then within seconds `Gol` sees infidel running past him, in the distance, towards Mohammed's dwelling.
Instictively he shouts "Americans, Americans, infidels" & makes his way towards the rubble...
The goats continue on their merry way.
-
Hearing the shouts of `Gol` the lady who was sorting out her washing , quickly makes her way to wake up her husband, also having seen the truck drive right by her 30 seconds earlier..
-
`Jack` places the charge & signals for the guys to be ready...
BOOOOMMM!!
Dust & shit is thrown up & within a couple of seconds the Delta`s are in.
They quickly spot their target, laying shocked & dazed along with his wife.
Not giving him a chance to react they shout commands at him & force him to his feet, plasticuff him & force him out of the freshly made exit hole.
Wifey starts screaming & hollering...
-
BOOOMMM!!
`Gol` jumps, his pulse is racing,he reaches his precious AK.
Ripping the sheet from it he quickly realises that the infidel are here to kill his elder.
Believing he can help he quickly lines up against the infidel kneeling by the wall.
Adrenaline, youthful vigour, inexperience & just scared shitless, `Gol` squeezed the trigger.
Drrrrrrrrrrrr, 20 odds rounds whistled over `Guys` head, not even close.
The recoil & sheer surprise of firing full auto, dumped Gol on his ass.
-
Booommm!!
`Guy` instinctively flinched as the breach went ahead.
"Sheesh, despite years of training I never get used to that". He thought to himself.
As the cloud of dust drifted by him, suddenly...
Drrrrrrrrr, the distinctive sound of an AK letting rip & a lot of rounds fly harmlessly over his head.
WTF, he thought then shouted down his mike "Contact contact!"
Scanning his arcs he failed to see anything...
(2 failed spotting rolls...sheesh!)
-
`Gol` got to his feet & cussed himself.
Miraculously the infidel failed to see him so he again loosed off more rounds, being more careful this time.
Unfortunately he missed again & heard the bolt of his AK click open.
Realising he was out of ammo, he saw Mohammed being led out forcibly by the infidels.
Turning to run, his luck ran out & he was hit for a serious wound & dropped unconscious.
Drr Drr, more rounds came towards `Guy`, who finally spotted the tango with the AK & loosed an accurate burst towards him, hitting him & seeing him drop.
"Hell I hope that wasn`t the goat herder" he thought to himself as he moved with the rest of the team...
Meanwhile the goats continued unphased...
-
Shit was starting to get real...
`Ajad & Majar` both woke to the sounds of shouting & a muffled boom.
Realising they were under attack they grabbed their weapons & they charged out of their dwelling.
`Majar` was first out & jogged up the street towards the sounds of an AK firing, his rpg perched comfortably on his shoulder.
As he ran he noticed a female ahead by the well..she disappeared from view for a few seconds & as he got closer suddenly she re-appeared, only she was a he & clearly armed.
A 3 round burst hit him in the chest & as `Majar`s world turned dark he thought to himself "F****n cheatin CIA."
-
`Ajad` hurtled out of his door, "left or right..left or right" he pondered indecisively.
He saw `Majar` jogging up the street & suddenly saw an American pop round the corner by the well & shoot `Majar` down.
Quickly he dropped to his knee & fired quick but accurate bursts towards the yankee.
To his delight & surprise he hit the infidel true & watched him slump forward in a pool of blood.
(Natural roll spot rolled, followed by demon dice rolls to hit & damage caused CIA guy to be KIA instantly, his light armour failing to protect him...Grrr)
-
Other Tali quickly move to take up positions as the Delta`s move back towards the mog.
Meanwhile the goats are still around....
-
`Fuda` pops up on the roof behind the mog, but `Guy` on overwatch, spots him & wings him, causing him to drop out of sight, a light wound inflicted.
Meanwhile `Nashi`fires his rpd at the infidels behind the wall, but his rounds impact the wall itself, missing.
Cursing to himself he moves back to cover the infidel exit & spots `Gaan`, his close friend, across the way.
-
The Delta`s get the target aboard the Mog & head towards their exit zone.
An exchange between `Mikey` & `Gaan` quickly leads to`Gaan` losing badly, in a kia way...
The mog makes it away from the area despite sustaining damage from the rpd gunner, whom also sustained a light wound for his troubles.
-
So The Americans achieved their aim in getting the head man captured but sustained the loss of a valuable CIA operative, through some demon rolling by the Tali commander.
Thoroughly enjoyed this scenario.
Certainly had the potential to go wrong!
Until the next time 8-)

Absolutely amazing battle report Daz!!!
Really, really love the more thematic reports as it drew me right in. That CIA revealing series of pictures made me laugh out loud as I had the mental image of those a cheesy 80s film where it cuts between the protagonist to the antagonist then back to the protagonist whose instantly changed outfits. Not to say the report was cheesy by any means as I thought it was fantastic! Honestly mate, well done - more reports like this the better I say!
Thoroughly entertaining read and fantastic looking setup you've got as always! :)
-
Lol
Great write up!
-
Another great report
