Ha ha, it would probably make a decent scenario, I've re-run a few of my real time incidents just to see. We'd been getting rocketed quite a lot so my OC wanted them sorted out. I set up the mortars and was about to bed them in on a likely area when we were rocketed, from the exact grid I'd chosen to bed in on! Of course I gave the order to fire straight away, at the same time 2 x AH went to sort the rocket gang out and flew straight over the mortar line! One of the AH crashed in front of us on the hill near the rocketeers! I was accused straight away of shooting it down, with an 81!!! I was cleared eventually, there's much more to this tale, but that'll do for now.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4adEuiWYAEtv5D?format=jpg&name=large)
This Bolt Action modern scenario is roughly based on the historical events which took place on 13th December 2003, in the town of ad-Dawr, near Tikrit in Iraq.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4af-N_XEAET__p?format=jpg&name=large)
CIA Operators receive a tip off that individuals from Iraq's High Command are holed up in Tikrit, preparing to make a dash for the mountains. Intel suggests, there is an 80% chance that Saddam might be one of these individuals. As a result, US forces quickly scramble a QRF.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4ahH3nWQAU8Ihw?format=jpg&name=360x360)
As US forces begin to converge on Tikrit, it suddenly becomes a rat run, as the Iraqis make a bolt for the mountain safe holds,

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4aiYZKXwAEhf8J?format=jpg&name=360x360)
The game will be played down a 12ft table with an escalating US force who are attempting to block the route to the mountains, while hidden Iraqi units are popping up across the town as they attempt to protect the various vehicles containing the Iraqi High Command.

On Saturday 18th November, Hollywood comes to ShedHQ again, with the visit of my friend David Hunter, who will be taking on the star role of Lt A.K. Waters from the movie Tears of the Sun. Can the brave and charismatic US Ranger and his team evacuate the beautiful Dr Kendricks & the villagers to safety?

Mission - Turmoil erupts in Nigeria following a military coup led by exiled General Mustafa Yakubu in which President Samuel Azuka and his entire family are reportedly assassinated. The ethnic enmity is between the Fulani Muslims in the north and Christian Igbo in the south.

Foreigners evacuate the country and Lieutenant A.K. Waters and his U.S. Rangers are dispatched to extract Dr. Lena Fiore Kendricks, a U.S. citizen by marriage to the late Dr. John Kendricks who was killed by rebels in Sierra Leone.

Their secondary mission is to extract the mission's priest and two nuns, should they choose to come.

After a successful Halo-jump into Nigeria, Lt Waters fails to obtain Dr Kendricks compliance to the evacuation unless the villagers are also taken to safety. Meanwhile, the Rangers setup a defensive perimeter around hospital and mission buildings.

The fire teams working in perfect unison to cover each whilst on the move. Behind them shots can be heard, as only about 50% of the village inhabitants were able to travel.

Firefights subsequently began to erupt as the rebels advance on extended line through the dense jungle. Ordering two of the teams forward, the rest of the Rangers attempted to hold back the enemy.

The Rangers on point, radioed back to Lt. Waters, they had located a suitable river crossing south towards the Cameroon border.
