The Defence of Wilson's Wadi: Part II - Here They Come!
« Reply #1 on: October 27, 2010, 10:13:13 PM »
Afternoon - Day 1

The Taliban, without good intelligence on the strength of the British unit attempt to surround and overwhelm them with a decisive enveloping movement. If they can take control of three important landmarks they will be able to dominate the area entirely.

Thanks Steve - I'll keep it coming

Evening - Day 1

The British, though they are under severe pressure, ascertain that a heavy mortar is pummelling the airbase at Qandahar from nearby. They put together a scratch force to assault the position and put the mortar tube out of action.

The Defence of Wilson's Wadi [Part IV - The Relief]
« Reply #4 on: October 30, 2010, 10:23:01 PM »
Morning - Day 2

With the Taliban offensive well under way, the forces at Qandahar Air Base are stretched to breaking point hunting down Taliban artillery sites. Despite this British command insists on sending a relief mission to Arghandab consisting of a Viking IFV with a hand-picked Royal Marine section aboard.

Afternoon - Day 2

Senior local Afghans, friendly to ISAF are being held by Taliban forces. The British feel that their position will become untenable if they do not maintain good relations with the local population and rescue the elders.

The Defence of Wilson's Wadi: Part VI - An Aggressive Posture
« Reply #6 on: November 01, 2010, 10:00:35 PM »
Evening - Day 2

The British actively patrol the village perimeter to keep the Taliban off-balance. Gaining some intelligence of their plans for tomorrow will also help them to hold out.

Morning - Day 3

A news team shows up with a small escort looking for an interview and some vital background shots. A nearby British section needs to get them the hell out of the area before they're killed or kidnapped.
No Taliban are present at the start (though the insurgency level is '11') and the Afghan civilians are scattered throughout the village
