Fedayeen Saddam vs US forces Brink of Battle AAR

[Anatoli]

Ran a demo of the Brink of Battle rules for my friends Patrik and Thomas down at the club this weekend - we also wanted to try out Period 3 (Modern) so Thomas brought some of this 20mm Iraq war miniatures.

I kept it simple so we only included assault rifles and MG's and camo uniforms. But there really are a lot of weapons and equipment that allows you to cover pretty much anything in the Modern Warfare setting.

Nice looking game.
Could you give a brief rundown on the point system.
With 5 US figures costing around 330 points what do you spend points for?

The points in theses army lists were mainly spent on stats, the weapons were quite expensive and the small added cost of camo uniforms. I did not keep the hand written army lists else I would have written out the points in detail.

IIRC I made the US forces:

Commander: Assault rifle, camo uniform
CBT6 CMD6 CON4

Troopers: 2xAssault rifle, 1x Medium MG, camo uniform
CBT5 CMD5 CON4

Iraqi forces were IIRC

Commander: Assault rifle,
CBT3 CMD5 CON3

Troopers: 4xAssault rifle, 2x Medium MG
CBT3 CMD4 CON3


We had some RPG gunners , special forces miniatures, grenade launcher armed soldiers but I kept it simple in this game else we could have easily reached 500pts with the same amount of miniatures but with heavier equipment (Kevlar armor, grenades and such included).
