Force on force game

A couple of weeks back I got my first club game of FoF in and got my Taliban/Chechen insurgent forces out for their first proper outing.  The scenario was Black Hawk Down out of the rule book, but the game was set in the fictional ex-Soviet state of Ukrovia so was retitled Red Hawk Down.  I should say that the Ukrovian Civil War dates back as an imagination game several years, well before real world events started catching up.  The game was set up by Mike and Dave generously brought along the scenery, figures are mainly Ian's and mine.

A write-up of the game by Dave Williams from the club can be found here

Initial deployment - 4 insurgent groups in houses on edge of village, 1 regular section bailed out of the downed helicopter with rescue forces arriving on table to the left of the downed helicopter.

Leg infantry arriving at the far end of the table - turn 1

Insurgents open fire, hoping to do some damage to the troops advancing in the open.

A few light wounds result.

Later, a motorcycle and sidecar with mounted LMG takes hits from an insurgent group and the crew bail.

A fast mover goes supersonic over the battlefield and this scares the insurgents so badly they flee the wadi, which they were using to cover their advance on the downed helicopter.

More insurgents fire on the advancing infantry, causing a heavy wound on the central squad.

Mayhem caused in the insurgent ranks by soviet return fire.

The closing scene.  The few surviving insurgents have fled the village, leaving the field to the regulars.

A big thank you to Mike and Dave for organising and providing the scenery, and to Ian for playing the regulars.  I think FoF will figure regularly on my play list in the future.  Thanks to you for looking.
