Friday the 13th - Force on Force AAR
I've been writing up scenarios from 'Attack State Red' over the last while. I ran the first three for Trinity Gamers on Saturday.

A Company’s platoons are scattered around the deserted eastern part of Nowzad. With the prospect of the Taliban outflanking the British troops, securing against possible infiltration is vital.

The isolated Sergeant Holmes feels the heat as the Taliban direct their efforts towards his elimination

The Taliban consider Mazdurak a safe haven. No coalition forces have set foot inside, and C Company is going in to stir up the hornets’ nest in order to discover the Taliban’s real strength.

B Company has cleared the village of Heyderabad, but it’s not stopping there. 7 Platoon will secure the canal bridge and the two buildings overlooking the crossing.

The Taliban defend the canal crossing, deploying behind the buildings for maximum impact

I was at a bit of a loss of how to represent the high tension-variable intensity fighting involved in this kind of clearing action. Thankfully the guys over at Ambush Alley are coming up with some new building clearance rules for the Fallujah book being released next year. They work really well, and looking forward to doing a bit more testing on them soon.

Great report on the blog... is this 28mm? If so where did the Viking come from?
-
All 20mm unfortunately - that Viking's from Britannia
-
mumble mumble - not the first time I've heard that song... I think Britannia also do the afghani on a motorbike - top fig esp. for a dicker - sadly lacking in 28mm.

Bikers can be converted from Eureka bikers/Ramshackle bikes/West Wind Road Kill bikers or even bikes from Black Cat Bases. But yes, it lacks some RPG on bike in 28mm. :'(
