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.

Looking forward to it
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
