TF Hawk was pushing east towards the only bridge over the River Shalabi, looking to secure Task Force Hammer's lines of communication to the rear, but were slowed by the darkness and caught from behind by the FSNL's 8th Company. A hellacious fight ensued which saw TF Hawk's commanding officer killed in action (for the second fight in a row) and both sides recoiled into the darkness to rest and reorganize. Now 1st Lt Beriana has assumed command, but as he's getting their stuff straight and getting the boys in fighting shape, the Communist FSNL's 8th Company attacks them again! </div>

This will be handled as a meeting engagement, with the Communists entering from the west and the Cubans from the east, using random deployment for both sides to simulate the chaos of fighting in the dark, running into contact while on the move, and the Cubans having to reorient 180 degrees to face their attackers.</div>

There is a hardball road running west to east, with villages at bottom left and bottom right, as well as several knolls/hillocks, the most prominent of which became known as "Mortar Hill" (for reasons that will soon become obvious, center right top). Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

The Cuban starting positions: Hawk 01 is at left top, on Mortar Hill (with a Communist rifle team above them), Hawk 02 is at far right (with enemy between them), Hawk 03 is at left, below Hawk 01, then Hawk 04 is at far left, hawk 05 is at center bottom, and Hawk 06 is at far right bottom (in the trees), while the mortar team and Lt Beriana's command group are at far left bottom.<br />

Let's get it on! The bad guys get the first initiative AND a random event: "Thought he was over there!", which allows the enemy to move one of my teams up to 6" in any direction. They elect to grab Hawk 03 and move it from its position in cover (bottom right), out into the open (center)!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And the stillness of the pre-dawn air is broken by the enemy's AGL (bottom right) thump-thump-thumping out 30mm HE rounds at Hawk 04 (top left), pinning them.<br />
<br />

This is immediately followed by a Commie rifle team opened fire on Hawk 03. Though caught in the open by close range small arms fire, they're only pinned.<br />

But as they move up (bottom left), another enemy rifle team (center right top, with the AGL at bottom right and their CO at far right) opens fire, catching them in the flank, pinning them again!<br />

With so many Cuban troops suppressed or 'men down' and their mortar team breaking out more ready ammo, a lull ensues (bad guy 'scurry'), which allows the Communists to maneuver: a rifle team moves right and rallies the crew of the BTR (top right), while another rifle team moves up to rally their CO (left), but he stays pinned.<br />

And while that is playing out on/around Mortar Hill (top right), the enemy rifle team on the far left pushes ahead (bottom center, with the AGL just behind them), threatening to rollup the Cuban right flank, which is manned only by Hawk 06 (suppressed off camera to bottom left) and Hawk 05 ('men down' at far left, with no real hope to rally unless and until Hawk 06 gets back in the fight).<br />

Lt Beriana (top left) just can't get his men to move (another Cuban 'Firefight!'): too much heavy fighting, too many casualties, under some serious stress now. The Cuban mortar team (bottom left) keeps firing on the right flank, trying to hold the enemy at bay (top right)...<br />

This is absolutely incredible... The Cubans roll yet another 'Fireight!', and again the mortar team (fa left) is the only team that can act. With the enemy rifle team advancing on the right flank turned back (off camera to bottom right, having been suppressed by them and then failed its rally and falling back, leaving the AGL team alone), they turn their attention back to Mortar Hill (top right) and open fire, Danger Close on Lt Beriana and Hawk 02...<br />

What the @#$%!!!??? The two red dice are for the CO, the black dice is for Hawk 02. If you're not familiar with 5Core, that is really good if you're shooting and really bad if you're rallying. Since Lt Beriana is a Medal of Honor winner he gets two dice and gets to pick the best result, which means he gets to pick between being suppressed or pinned; he picks to stay pinned, while Hawk 02, already suppressed, rolls up another suppression...<br />

The fight is over, and both battlegroups are eliminated (D7) from the campaign as neither constitute an effective fighting force. After 48 hours of non-stop, close-in combat that saw them lose their CO and then their acting CO, they fall back to the west in hopes of reconstituting at a later date.<br />
<br />
Wow, that was... different. Don't misunderstand, it was mostly fun, but it really bogged down at the end, and yes, I admit it, the enemy Commander deciding to charge was a mercy kill. Whomever won that close combat was going to win the battle, and yes, it was weighted towards the Cubans owing to their quantitative advantage and their CO having won the Medal of Honor. But it's done and we're happily moving on ;)<br />

The morning of Day 3 sees a flurry of activity as the Communists are realizing this is pretty much their last chance to stem the tide rushing east towards Pendrakenville. These attacks, those hasty, stand a good chance of success: FSNL9 is a fresh unit attacking TF Hammer, which has sustained heavy casualties and is severely fatigued, while both TF Bowie (crossing a river) and TF Hawk/Dusty (standing up their third commander and command group in three battles) are in vulnerable positions. FSNL2's attack on the SLA's B Company is probably unnecessary, unwarranted, and unlikely to succeed, but it would appear they believed they needed to do something to assist their comrades further east.</div>

So, it's the night of D2 and things are progressing nicely, though the Cuban company-size task forces are starting to suffer from attrition and the operational tempo. There are only two fights this phase, both on account of the Communists acting very aggressively to halt/seal the penetration towards Pendrakenville via the main east-west running artery, though that means they're leaving Task Force Bowie with a relatively open cross-country advance on the capital. This phase will see Major Chavez' beleaguered Task Force Hammer taking on the insurgents of the FLA's 6th Company, while Captain Villagrosa's embattled Task Force Hawk/Dusty attempts to fight off the pursuing FSNL 8th Company. </div>

TF Hawk was pushing east towards the only bridge over the River Shalabi, looking to secure Task Force Hammer's lines of communication to the rear, but were slowed by the darkness and caught from behind by the FSNL's 8th Company, which is desperately attempting to cut-off the Cuban penetration (by TF Hammer) towards Pendrakenville. A defeat here would leave TF Hammer very isolated on the east side of the River Shalabi.</div>

This will be handled as a meeting engagement, with the Communists entering from the west and the Cubans from the east, using random deployment for both sides to simulate the chaos of fighting in the dark, running into contact while on the move, and the Cubans having to reorient 180 degrees to face their attackers.</div>

There is a hardball road running west to east, with villages at left and right, as well as several knolls/hillocks, the most prominent of which are Hill 145 (center top) and Hill 98 (bottom center left). Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

Then moves up (left), but the tough paratroopers of Hawk 02 (right) were unfazed by the fire and open up themselves, catching the Communists in the open and suppressing them!<br />

But the enemy Commander acts decisively, leading his BTR forward, into the village, where it halts and begins pouring absolutely GIANT 14.5mm machine gun rounds into Hawk 02's position, pinning them down.<br />

Seeing Hawk 02 in distress (far left), Captain Villagrosa immediately charge forward to rally them, but the fire is too heavy and they remain pinned! Meanwhile, the Charlie G team (far right) wants a shot at the BTR (off camera to left), but doesn't have one currently...<br />

So they push forward to get into position (right, just above the Cuban CO), but they're spotted by enemy infantry in the village (top left), who open fire and pin them down in the open!<br />

Things are rapidly getting out of hand; the paratroopers have been in constant combat for almost 48 hours and are not making the best tactical decisions: seeing the Charlie G team get pinned down (yellow bead at bottom center), Hawk 04, who was in a great position atop Hill 145 (top right), decides they need to get involved in an up close and personal fashion, so they come running downslope, and just as they bust through the treeline (center) the enemy's far left-flank rifle team (top center left) spots them and opens fire, suppressing them in the open!!!<br />
<br />
*Holy @#$%, this should be too easy for the bad guys, a pinned rifle team and Charlie G team and a suppressed rifle team, all within easy charging distance...<br />
<br />

But desperate times call for desperate measures, and with his Charlie G team (far right) and Hawk 04 (top center) pinned or suppressed out in the open, Captain Villagrosa decides violence of action will have to suffice. He grabs the pinned down Hawk 02 and charges the enemy rifle team (bottom center) they'd suppressed earlier...<br />

The Commie riflemen are mowed down (casualty figures at right top) and Captain Villagrosa and Hawk 02 look to continue their rampage, charging down the slope of Hill 98, towards the enemy CO (far left) and their BTR, but the BTR has spotted them and opens fire with its 14.5mm HMG...<br />

The enemy Commander and BTR are eliminated in flurry of close-in violence, and Captain Villagrosa and his command group continue their rampage, charging across the street into the flank of an enemy rifle team!<br />

But on the enemy's far left flank (bottom left), the Communist rifle team there opens fire on Hawk 04 (top right), pinning them.<br />

They immediately charge into close combat with Hawk 04...<br />

And this time Hawk 04 goes down (casualty figures at bottom left)! The enemy team moves up (center bottom), looking to cross the road and get at the Charlie G team (just right of them), but Hawk 03 (top right), who's team leader is Lt Beriana, winner of the Medal of Honor, spots them and opens fire...<br />

The enemy rifle team (top center right, with the pinned Charlie G team just below them) are pinned down by Hawk 03's small arms fire, pinning them in the street and probably saving the day! The Cuban MG team pulls in from the left flank, heading north (center left), where they set up and rally the suppressed Hawk 02.<br />

But its dark and the T-72s optics suck, so the round misses, which allows Hawk 02 to charge downslope from Hill 98, into the street, and into close combat with the pinned enemy rifle team (top left)!<br />

They knock out the Communist team (casualty figures at far right), then push west, into the village (left bottom). And while that was going on, Hawk 05 (top center) self rallied, making life rather difficult for the last remaining Communist rifle team (top left).<br />

Down to just the T-72 (bottom left) and a single rifle team (top left), the remaining troops of the FSNL's 8th Company break off their attack and head west to regroup!<br />

Task Force Hawk/Dusty, despite losing its Commanding Officer for the second battle in a row, defeats the FSNL's 8th Company, forcing them to fall back (B7 from C7). But the Cubans are fairly beat up as well, so they pull south to rest and reorganize (D7 from C7).<br />
<br />
Well, that was crazy, right from the get-go, for some reason. I'm not sure what made that fight seem so damned hectic, or why (in retrospect) it felt like the Cubans were desperate to do something dramatic/important/impactful as quickly as possible, but that's sure how it felt. My guess is that I was worried about sitting back and being picked off by the enemy's superior firepower; they didn't have much infantry, but if they could have just pushed ahead, located a position, brought the tank up, reduced it, and repeat it, that would have been a long, slow, painful death for Task Force Hawk.<br />

Well, things went badly, but he saved the day with that reaction fire shot, halting the bad guys before they got the pinned Charlie G team. If they'd have gotten there, there's no reason to believe they would have been stopped: they'd run over the Charlie G team, then the suppressed Hawk 02, then sneak up on the rear of the MG team on Hill 98, forcing the Cubans to give up or be destroyed.</span></span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

This is a meeting engagement, typically with both sides advancing from their own table edge, but I'm going to mix things up a bit by having both sides placed on the table with random movement to reflect the chaos of meeting each other on the march, in the dark.</div>

There are hardball roads running north/south and east west, intersecting in the northeast (top right), with villages present at top left and bottom right, as well as several knolls/hillocks, to include the prominent Hill 188 at left. Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

But the fire is ineffective and the bad guys make it into cover (bottom right), where they return fire on Hammer 02 (top left), pinning them.<br />
<br />
*And then the Cubans roll a damned 'Firefight!', which is exactly what I DO NOT need right now, seeing as how I only have two teams in position to fire and I have been unable to get my reserves (LtCol Halabrio, Hammer 05, and the damn Cuban tank!) forward...<br />

But part of the reserve is actually able to assist: Hammer 05 (bottom left, with LtCol Halabrio behind them and Hammer 02 at top center) spots the fire ahead (telling friend from foe by the color of the tracers), and opens fire, pinning the Communist rifle team at top right!<br />

Though they lost their heroic Commanding Officer, TF Hammer wins yet another fight, forcing the defeated FLA 6th Company to fall back to B9 from C9, while LtCol Halabrio immediately assumes personal command of TF Hammer and pushes them forward to exploit their victory, advancing east to C10, from C9.<br />

I keep trying random deployment for both sides in the hopes that I'm going to have some crazy set up where the two sides have penetrated each others' lines, but it just ain't happening. And I was pretty happy with playing the shorter line of sight/line of fire distances for nighttime, even though sometimes I forget them and sometimes I stretch them a little bit. </div>

I thought it was a pretty interesting fight, a good back and forth in the center, where the Commies were making good use of pushing infantry forward to identify targets that the tank then smoked, until the Cubans decided to counterattack, which worked, but cost them their Commanding Officer, who was injured badly enough to require evacuation back to Cuba. Still funny that the Cubans had a tank but couldn't get it into action; it never budged from its starting position! Now that's what you're talking about when you talk about getting inside the other guy's OODA Loop: he's got assets and knows what he wants to do with them, but he can't because he's busy reacting to what you're doing!</div>

Captain Madre-Animral leads his TF Bowie against the FLA's 3rd Company. The FLA 3rd Company was in a reserve position at H-Hour yesterday, but decided to give chase to TF Razor as they attempted to break out of the Communist encirclement. TF Razor fought a successful rear-guard action, giving the FLA 3rd Company a bloody nose and forcing it to fall back, where it sat overnight, resting and reorganizing, And now TF Bowie has located them and intends on destroying them!<br />
<br />
This is a simple attack-defend scenario: the Cubans are seeking to eliminate the FLA's 3rd Company as an effective fighting force, while the Communists are simply hoping to survive the onslaught of these crazy Cuban Marines!</div>

There are hardball roads running north/south and east west, intersecting in the southwest (bottom left), with villages present at top left and bottom right, as well as several knolls/hillocks, to include the prominent Hill 200 at right and the lesser Hill 110 at left. Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

Just for kicks, here's what the table looks like with blinds. First I place the Cuban attackers (along the far left side of the board), then I place the blinds. The white blinds are rifle teams (would be Joe Legan's "A-type blinds"), the red are heavy weapons ("B-type blinds;" there are no vehicles in this fight for the bad guys, so no "C-type blinds"), and then the black is for positioning of the enemy commander team. The rifle team blinds are 50% real and 50% dummy, while the weapons and command blinds are 33% real and 66% dummy.<br />

Let's get it on! There is very poor visibility on the battlefield this afternoon; previous fighting, as well as airstrikes and artillery fire have conspired to cause several fires in the area, with dense smoke hanging close to the ground and obscuring lines of sight/fields of fire. The Communists spot Task Force Bowie's arrival (top right and just behind the trees at top left) and decide to seize the initiative. Taking advantage of the smoke, they push forward, leaving a token force on their right (far right) as they concentrate on and around Hill 110 (top center left).<br />
<br />
But the bad guys aren't as sneaky as they think; the Cuban Marines have spotted the enemy advance, and though they don't have clear fields of fire, they maneuver aggressively to counter the enemy.<br />

While on the right, Lt Peria spots the enemy build-up opposite him (far right), so rather than become separated from the rest of the force (center/top) he pulls in the flank, ordering the LAV vehicle commander to push left and up, onto Hill 110 (center, from bottom left).<br />

<br />
*I just made all that up about lack of visibility due to smoke from local fires; the Commies got the first activation and rolled up a 'scurry;' I rolled to see how they would react and it was super aggressive, so I pushed them forward, so the 'limited visibility' thing seemed to work.<br />

The MG team (far left) fares better, opening fire at close range, suppressing a rifle team and the enemy Commander (top right and just off camera to top right)! And you know what that means; all Lt Peria (just off camera to bottom center) needs is a crack...<br />

My goodness, what can I say at this point? Lt Peria is truly indestructible; and trust me when I say that, as I'm actively trying to kill him! As he was fighting single-handedly against enemy teams in close combat, sometimes without the enemy teams even being suppressed, he was not getting any positive dice roll modifiers, usually fighting at even odds (against suppressed bad guys) or -1 (against unsuppressed bad guys), but he still came out on top! I even charged two enemy rifle teams out to take shots at him, but one of them got suppressed by react fire (on 1S dice!!!), and the other fired and missed, with 3K dice!!! Well, not missed, but only put him 'man down,' didn't kill him. And then the bad guys couldn't get up there to finish him off because Bowie 03 and 04 came up to save him. that dude is crazy! This was the first time I've played a game and my guys didn't take any casualties...<br />

Lt Beria, TF Bowie's XO, was awarded the Navy Cross for immediately grasping the enemy's counterattack strategy, taking immediate action to refuse the Task Force's flank, and then leading his own counterattack that saw him singlehandedly eliminate the enemy commander, recoiless rifle team, two rifle teams, and capture another enemy rifle team, effectively eliminating the enemy force defending Hill 200. For these actions, 2nd Lt Peria was also meritoriously promoted to 1st Lieutenant.</div>

Major Chavez leads his Task Force Hammer into combat against Communist insurgents of the Free Leon Army's (FLA) 4th Company in the city of Janaf, which is also the site of the sole bridge over the river Shalabi. TF Hammer has pushing hard, breaking through the enemy's second line of defense (along the River Shalabi) before it was fully formed, hoping to 'blitzkrieg' their way into the South Leon capital city of Pendrakenville, but now they are being counterattacked as the Communists attempt to contain the penetration. <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The overall Task Group commander, LtCol Halabrio, has decided to attach himself to the assault element, leaving Major Chavez in overall commander but willing and able to assist as necessary, functioning as a second command stand for the Cubans.</span></div>

Overview, north is up, with Cubans defending the lower half of the table and the Communist insurgents attacking from the northern (top) edge of the table, on both sides of the River Shalabi. There is a stone bridge over the river, and the buildings are made of stone as well, so afford decent cover even against modern, high-velocity weapons. Notable buildings:</div>

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

If you're wondering what happened to the two Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles from the last fight, one was knocked out and the other is ferrying casualties to the rear. These troops are Minifigs' Israelis, except the Milan gunner, which is Minifigs' Modern British.</span><br />

Oh, and there's LtCol Halabrio, the Task Group commander. That is probably the clearest, brightest photo of a 10mm figure I have ever taken! This is a Minifigs' Australian from their Vietnam range. I love the boonie covers and big packs!</div>

Let us get on with the unpleasantness! The fight gets off on the right foot: the good guys get off the first shots in the engagement, with the Milan ATGM team leading...<br />

The Milan crew smiles and pats themselves on the back (far left) as Hammer 05 (bottom left) gets in on the act, firing on the bad guys atop the Clinic (top right) and putting them 'men down,' which is a virtual death sentence as they cannot rally themselves and the bad guys will have a very, very hard time getting someone that far over to rally them.<br />

Over in the center, atop the Post Office, Hammer 03 (bottom center, with Marder 01 still burning at top right from the last fight) opens fire on the District Seat (center/top), suppressing one enemy team and pinning the other!<br />

But since they're previous round of fire failed to pin or suppress Hammer 01 (bottom right), the Cubans are able to react, launching a LAW rocket at the thinly armored BMP!<br /><br />What!!!??? I missed the picture!!!??? My apologies, you know how I like to show burning armored vehicles; Hammer 01's aim was true and the BMP was knocked out!<br />

The Technical (bottom left) goes up in flames! The Communist Commander and rifle team (top left) have a court-side view of the carnage...<br /><br />*Man, I've never seen an HMG roll as badly as that Technical has been rolling all game. They literally could not roll to save their life ;)<br />

Hammer 03 pushes further up Main Street, where they manage to capture the enemy's 'men down' rifle team that was abandoned when their comrades ran off. Like I said, that was all but inevitable, there was pretty much no way the bad guys were going to be able to get a unit up to them to get them rallied.<br />
<br />
Anyways, game over, another Cuban victory!<br />

TF Hammer valiantly defends the bridge from counterattack (with a very fortuitous helping hand from getting the first activation and rolling a 'Firefight!' for the first activation), sending the Communist FLA's 4th Company reeling. The Communists fall back to the north (B8, from C8), and TF Hammer pushes east (C9, from C8) to exploit the gap!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Well, not too much to say but sorry, not the most exciting fight. I had higher hopes, thinking the bad guys would have a decent shot, but that damned first activation going to the Cubans, and then being a 'Firefight!' on top of that, really made things tough. On top of that, I used random deployment for both sides, but neither was disadvantaged, with both sides looking about like you would have expected, where you would have placed them anyway, except maybe the bad guy BTR being on Main Street and Hammer 04 being so far in the rear. So you really get the gist of it, I'd set it up with dummy and real blinds so that there was actually interpenetration, so that Communist forces were actually in and among the Cuban defenders, having infiltrated prior to the Cubans consolidating their positions, but all the interpenetrating blinds turned out to be dummies...</span><br />

Major Chavez leads his Task Force Hammer into combat against Communist insurgents of the Free Leon Army's (FLA) 5th Company in the city of Janaf, which is also the site of the sole bridge over the river Shalabi. TF Hammer is pushing hard, seeking to break through the enemy's second line of defense (along the River Shalabi) before it is fully formed, hoping to 'blitzkrieg' their way into the South Leon capital city of Pendrakenville. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The overall Task Group commander, LtCol Halabrio, has decided to attach himself to the assault element, leaving Major Chavez in overall commander but willing and able to assist as necessary, functioning as a second command stand for the Cubans.</span></div>

This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to crush their enemies on the way to the capital, the Communist goal is to hold the ground.</div>

Overview, north is up, with Cubans attacking from the west (left) board edge and the Communist insurgents defending the remainder of the table, up to the River Shalabi. There is a stone bridge over the river, and the buildings are made of stone as well, so afford decent cover even against modern, high-velocity weapons. Notable buildings:<br />
1) the Hotel (bottom left)<br />
2) the Weigh Station (left)<br />
3) the District Seat (top center)<br />
4) the Post Office (center)<br />
5) the Warehouse (center top right, just right of the District Seat)<br />
6) Ahmed's Café (bottom center)<br />
7) the Garage (right bottom center, 'long' building just right of Ahmed's Café)<br />
8) the Tax Stand (right center, above the Garage)<br />
9) the Police Box (just right of the Garage)<br />
10) Ir-Hab University (far right bottom)<br />
11) the Clinic (far right, above the University)<br />
12) the Butcher Shop (top center right, above and between the Warehouse and the Clinic)<br />
13) the Hell House<br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

Oh, and there's LtCol Halabrio, the Task Group commander. That is probably the clearest, brightest photo of a 10mm figure I have ever taken! This is a Minifigs' Australian from their Vietnam range. I love the boonie covers and big packs!</div>

It is time for the commencement of hostilities, but first, the bad guys roll up a random event, and it's "Straggler," so they get another rifle team added to the fight, which comes on at top right, between the Butchers Shop and the Clinic.<br />

And very quickly one of the Cuban rifle teams is knocked out (far left) and another is suppressed (Hammer 03, red bead just left of the bridge), as the blue Technical (bottom right) opens fire on Hammer 04 (top center left, in the trees).<br />

Things are looking grim as Hammer 04 (casualty figures beneath the trees at center left) goes down in a hail of 12.7mm slugs!!! Both Marders (bottom left and bottom center) return fire on the Technicals with their 20mm auto-cannons, but they only manage to pin the blue Technical, which is behind the Post Office (top center right, the white Technical is behind the District Seat, top left).<br />

Back atop the Hotel (bottom center), Hammer 06 is the only unit really stuck in; they open fire on the bad guy's atop Ahmed's Café (top right), putting them 'men down'!<br /><br />*There's a real opportunity there, with those two rifle teams suppressed and 'men down,' if the Cubans can get someone across the river and into them before their CO can get them rallied.<br />
<br />
On a side note, if you're wondering why Hammer 06's fire has been so effective, please remember they're shooting down on everyone.<br />

But they can't quite reach their target on their follow-up move.<br />

Marder 01 moves up to the bridge (center top, from top left).<br />

The remaining bad guys all push forward, desperate to cut off the Cuban foothold across the bridge! They push rifle teams at top center (just visible behind the Warehouse), top center right (in the trees to the right of the Warehouse), center right (just above the trees to the right of the Tax Stand), and at bottom center, just below the Garage, and even their Recoiless Rifle team pushed up (right center top, between the Warehouse and the Clinic), looking to get a better shot on the Cuban IFVs.<br />
<br />

And they keep hustling forward: the Recoiless Rifle team gets into the trees on the right side of the Warehouse (center right) as a rifle team climbs atop the Warehouse, and another rifle team gets atop the Tax Stand (center left).<br />
<br />
*Both sides rolled 'scurries,' so lots of movement with no react fire.<br />
<br />

While the enemy rifle team on the far left flank dashes across the street and manages to get atop Ahmed's Café to check on their 'men down' comrades.<br />
<br />

But it's no good, they've taken too many casualties and the few remaining survivors have lost their bottle, so the team is out of action (casualty figures at center bottom)!<br />
<br />
*That was lucky for the Cubans.<br />
<br />

But danger lurks on the far right: an enemy rifle team is able to sneak up on Marder 02, using the fire and smoke from the white Technical to mask its movement!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But the Marder's crewmen are somehow able to fight off their attackers, knocking them out (casualty figures at far left)!!! They then push south, pulling up past Hammer 02 (right).<br />
<br />

Marder 01 pushes up and cuts left (top center) as Major Chavez and Hammer 03 jump up on the roof of the Post Office (bottom center).<br />

While in the south, Hammer 02 gets after the enemy team atop the Hell House...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But the Commies (bottom left) were jsut playing possum, and when they saw the Cubans pop onto the roof they fought like a mother protecting her cubs, throwing Hammer 02 back into the street (red bead at center), suppressed! Major Chavez and Hammer 03 (atop Post Office, top left) couldn't believe their eyes!<br />
<br />

So Hammer 06, still atop the Hotel (bottom left), opens fire, suppressing the bad guys (right top) that just threw Hammer 02 out into the street.<br />

While Hammer 03 (atop the Post Office, far left) fires on the bad guys atop Ahmed's Café (far right), putting them 'men down'! Major Chavez orders them to prepare for close combat...<br />

But again the bad guys in that damn house (bottom right) manage to throw back an assaulting Cuban rifle team despite being suppressed!!! Hammer 03 falls back (red bead at far left, with Hammer 02 still suppressed at center), suppressed, as the bad guys smile and pat each other on the back.<br />

But this time they don't get thrown back, this time Hammer 02 gets knocked out (far right)!!! The bad guys are feeling spunky, so they leave the Hell House and move up towards the bridge, where they close assault Hammer 03 (left)!!!<br /><br />*There is real danger here, the Cubans are getting rolled up...<br />

Hammer 03 goes down in a flurry of point-blank fire and grenades, and then the Communist insurgents climb atop the roof of the Post Office (center, from bottom left), overlooking Major Chavez and his command group, with buddies atop the Tax Stand (top right) doing the same thing!<br />

Knocking them out to eliminate all Communist forces south of the main east-west running artery (well, except a 'men down' team atop Ahmed's Café that is without hope as they cannot self rally and there are no friends to come over and help them), they charge across the street, into the enemy's Recoiless Rifle team (right)...<br />

TF Hammer takes the bridge at Janaf (C8), eliminating the FLA's 5th Company. They hold in place to consolidate and reorganize after heavy casualties, expecting the enemy to counterattack as soon as they're able.<br />

Man, again TF Hammer manages to give us a helluva fight, another knock-down, drag-out, no holds-barred barn burner of a game. Okay, enough clichés for now... The fight started off kinda rough, but then Cubans seemed to gain the upper hand and things looked like they were going to be easy when both Marders got across the bridge and then split, Marder 02 fighting off a close assault and heading south while Marder 01 headed north. But then those damn Commie defenders at the Hell House started making trouble, throwing back two different Cuban rifle teams in close combat (while suppressed, no less!), then chasing them down and knocking them out! If Major Chavez and his command group weren't able to stop the bad guys there, I have every reason to believe the bad guys would have rolled up the two Marders and Hammer 01 with Major Halabrio. But they didn't, and it was awesome! ;)</div>

Major Chavez, Task Force Hammer commander, was awardee the Distinguished Service Cross for saving the attack on Janaf when an enemy team counterattacked, knocking out two friendly rifle teams. The enemy team then close assaulted Major Chavez and his command group, with defeat collapsing the Cuban right flank and likely cutting off two Marder IFVs, a rifle team, and the Task Group commander, LtCol Halabrio. But Major Chavez and his command group not only defeated the counterattacking enemy team, they then counterattacked themselves, knocking out the enemy's central defensive position and eliminating a second rifle team and a reoiless rifle team in the process.</div>

Hammer 02's Team Leader was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for leading close assaults that knocked out an enemy HMG-armed 'Technical,' a rifle team, and the enemy commander. Unfortunately, he was later killed in a second attempted close assault on the so-called "Hell House" after being repulsed earlier.</div>

There is a hardball road running west to east, with a fork splitting off to the south, with villages at center and top left, as well as several knolls/hillocks, the most prominent of which is Hill 119 (center). Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

Back on Hill 119, the Communist rifle team there again fires downslope, pinning Hawk 03 and putting Hawk 02 'men down'! Their Commander (bottom right) decides it's now or never!<br />

Hawk 02, already in a very bad way, goes down without much of a fight ('men down,' casualty figures at left), and the Communists close in on Hawk 03, who are pinned!<br />

TF Hawk decisively defeated the FSNL's 7th Company, destroying it as an effective combat unit. TF Hawk does not advance; they suffered heavy casualties, including their commanding officer, and need to rest and reorganize (D6).<br />
<br />
Wow man, just wow. Wild sways of fortune, with the Cuban commandos not even really getting into the fight. The Cuban armor got roughed up, then Hawk 03 went on a rampage (knocked out two rifle teams and fought off the enemy CO and another rifle team), then the Commie team in the village goes on a rampage (knocks out the CO, Hawk 01, and Track 02), and it all really came down to an even-up roll between that team and Hawk 03 on the steps of Hill 119; whomever won that close combat was going to take the game, and luckily it turned out to be the Cubans!<br />

What really sucks is that the Cubans have their first character death of the campaign: 1st Lieutenant Espinale, winner of the Bronze Star w/V and the Purple Heart, veteran of the campaign in South Leon and the War of Liberation, paratrooper with two Combat Jumps, was killed in action. Additionally, the newly minted hero Team Leader of Hawk 01, who'd won the Distinguished Service Cross and Bronze Star w/V, was also killed. Captain Villagrosa now takes command of the combined Task Force Hawk/Dusty; and no, I didn't combine the two task forces because I knew Lt Espinale would end up getting killed, I combined them because 1) TF Dusty is tiny, only about a dozen men, whereas all the other Task Forces in the campaign are reinforced company-sized elements, and 2) I wanted to use Capt Villagrosa as an extra command stand to make TF Hawk even more capable. Guess that's out the window...</div>

Hawk 03 Team Leader was awarded the Medal of Honor for carrying a close assault that destroyed two enemy units threatening TF Dusty, fighting off a counterattack by the Communist Commander and a rifle team, then facing about the defeat anther enemy counterattack from a different direction. Following this, the Team Leader led his men up and over Hill 119 in pursuit of the enemy Commander and rifle team it had earlier repulsed, defeating them in close combat and capturing another enemy rifle team and anti-tank team.</div>

Captain Madre-Animral leads his TF Bowie against the FSNL's 4th Company, with whom they are very familiar. That familiarity is born of two absolutely ferocious battles they've faced each other in previously. Having pushed the Communists back earlier, TF Bowie now finds itself on the receiving end as the Communists mount a last-ditch counterattack! This is a simple attack-defend scenario: the Communist forces are seeking to eject the Cubans from this particular piece of real estate, while the Cubans are seeking to hold it.</div>

There is a hardball road running north to south, with a decent-sized village present (bottom right), as well as several knolls/hillocks, to include the prominent Hill 182 at left. Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

The enemy CO (far left) rallies his suppressed rifle team and adjusts his lines, praying the end will come quick and painlessly, but his men aren't so content to sit back and await death. His right-hand rifle team (center, the other is just to their left) decides to take matters into their own hands!<br />

TF Bowie defeats the FSNL's 4th Company for the third and final time, eliminating them as an effective fighting force. But TF Bowie is pretty beat up and needs an operational pause to rest and reorganize, so they hold tight at E4 rather than press ahead.<br />

An interesting fight; other than the LAV's poor marksmanship (though not terrible, he still suppressed the BMP twice), everything seemed to be going the Cubans' way, particularly with those back-to back Scurries that allowed them to shoot across half the table in an instant. If things went easy from there I would have said that the Cuban mortar team was the 'most valuable player,' knocking out two rifle teams and twice forcing the BMP to fall back under intense fire, but things didn't go easy from there. Things got very hard from there, actually, and scared the hell out of me! What was supposed to be a half-hearted, last-ditch effort that lost and saw the remaining enemy forces surrender ended up massacring three Cuban rifle teams and setting up the LAV to get knocked out by the BMP! What a world...</div>

The South Leon Army's D Company is attacking into an urban area to defeat the FLA's 1st Company and remove it as a threat to the Cuban/SLA rear area. This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the SLA goal is to clear the urban area of insurgents, while the FLA's goal is to inflict heavy casualties, tie down Allied forces (keeping them from attacking east towards Pendrakenville), and hold out until reinforcements arrive. The SLA troops are bolstered by a team of commandos from the Cuban Task-Force 23.</div>

This is the village of Senilathan, relatively modern in South Leon terms, with electricity and running water running between its stone buildings housing families, businesses, and local government. The Bazaar is at center top, the Governors' Mansion is at top right, the Police Barracks is at far right, the Shoe Factory is at bottom left, and the Auto Repair Shop is at bottom center. The rest of the buildings are domiciles. The village is surrounded by jungle and there are several small hills nearby.</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

While the other Technical (bottom center) takes another shot at Team 1 (top center left, with Team 2 'men down' and the MG team pinned atop the building at left) and puts them 'men down'!!!<br /><br />*The SLA force is ripe to be rolled up by close assault, with three teams 'men down' and one suppressed, if the Communists can just get to them.<br />

But then the MG team attempts to self rally but fails and falls back (red bead at left, from atop the building, where Team 2 is 'men down,' with Team 1 'men down' in the trees above them)!<br />

There is a lull in the fighting as each side pauses to lick its wounds (the Communists rolled a 'scurry,' plus a random event, 'fall back,' which allows every team that desires to retreat). The enemy rifle front line rifle team that was suppressed (at far left) takes the opportunity to fall back (center), meeting up with their commander, who rallies them.<br />

They then move to rally the suppressed Technical crew (center left) as the rifle team in the street moves left (bottom center, from center right) and the commander hauls ass back across the street and into the Bazaar (top center).<br />

The good guys respond: the TOW ATGM team moves up to the crossroads (center left, from bottom center) as Team 6 (on roof at center), Team 4 (in trees below them), and the TF23 team (near house at bottom center right) all advance. The SLA CO pushes west (center, from bottom center), looking to get across the street to rally the MG team and Team 1 and 2 (center top left).<br /><br />*But the good guys were able to respond, getting into strong position, with most of their units in fighting shape.<br />

*The SLA force was incredibly lucky in this fight, with its entire left flank suppressed. The Communists, with only four rifle teams on the board, simply didn't have the infantry to get up there into close combat to take advantage.<br />

And they knock out another damn SLA rifle team (atop building) and the damn MG team (bottom left), and pinning Team 1 (top center, with the CO just visible below them)!!! The CO attempts to rally them...<br /><br />*That damned recoiless rifle team has pretty much single-handedly decimated the SLA force. In all honesty, the Communist force should have retired once it lost its last rifle team (leaving only the CO, recoiless rifle team, and Technical), but they're doing so well I figured I'd let them keep hammering away.<br /><br />Having said that, the SLA force has also taken horrendous casualties and should have retired, now down to only their CO and two rifle teams (Teams 1 and 4), but this has turned into a battle of annihilation...<br />

The Communist Commander (bottom right) see the SLA CO (top center) and immediatey grasps what he's doing; "Gunner, fire on that government rifle team (Team 4, top left)," trying to knock them out before the SLA CO can rally them.<br />
<br />
*Then the SLA troops catch a lucky break: they roll a 'Scurry' with a random event, "Let'em Have It!", which allows a single team to fire twice.<br />

Team 4 (far right) was already 'men down,' and so the enemy recoiless rifle team's (top left) shot had no further affect on them (had a very small chance of knocking them out, but didn't), and the SLA CO safely reached them and rallied them back into the fight as Team 1 (far left bottom) got into great position on and cut loose on the Technical (top center), immobilizing the vehicle and suppressing the crew.<br />

Th SLA D Company's attack on Senilathan (B2) was to be lauded, but ultimately it was, for them, a Pyrrhic victory, which resulted in the destruction of both the Communist Free Liberation Army's 1st Company AND the SLA's D Company! Both sides were simply ground into dust and removed from the campaign map as they no longer constitute effective fighting forces.<br />

Wow, I'm kinda flabbergasted at how that went down. With the disparity in the size, quality, and armament of forces I figured this would be a relatively easy attack for the SLA force. It was fighting in town, so there was going to be blood, but I didn't expect anything like how it turned out. And it sort of took on a life of its own: like I said, each side, at different times, should have retired after taking heavy casualties, but this became so vicious, such a blood debt, that neither side was going to give in. Another aspect that weight heavily on the game was friction; I apologize as I didn't comment that much on the game mechanics, but there were a lot of Firefights and Scurries rolled up, when that was really the last thing that side needed at that moment, and that really kept them from exploiting a major opportunity to finish off, or at least put a serious dent in, their opposition. But ultimately the biggest tactical problem in the game was the Communists' lack of infantry to capitalize on suppressing the entire SLA left flank. Luckily for me, they just couldn't get a rifle team over there to roll up that flank, because they just didn't have enough rifle teams to get over there!</div>

Next up we have Captain Madre-Animral's Task Force Bowie taking on the FSNL's 4th Company for a third straight time! TF Bowie attacked them at H-Hour, pushed them back, moved up and attacked them again, pushed them back again, and now those crazy Communists are mounting a last-ditch counterattack!</div>

The South Leon Army's A Company is defending against the FSNL's 8th Company, which is attacking from the northeast in an attempt to crack the SLA line and reinforce/resupply their comrades in and around Pendrakenville. This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the SLA goal is to <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">hold the ground, while the Communist goal is to </span>crush their enemies on the way to the capital. The SLA defenders ARE NOT bolstered by a team of commandos from the Cuban Task-Force 23 because the team was knocked out in their last fight, with Captain Stelosavo wounded badly enough that he was evacuated to Cuba! One member of the TF23 team, "Marshall," is still with A Company, but he is now simply a part of the Company Command team.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The SLA force was initially manning defensive positions oriented north, but they've fought a couple battles already that have forced them to adjust on the fly to varying tactical circumstances, so their 'defense' is more evocative of a meeting engagement owing to the fact they have been forced to shuffle forces back and forth several times in the past 24 hours.</div>

There is a hardball road running roughly north to south, with a branch that heads east, with villages at either end (top left and far right) and one lone building in the east (bottom center), as well as several knolls/hillocks, including Hill 70 (left bottom) and Hill 45 (bottom right). Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

But to his (right) shock and dismay, both Alpha 05 and 06 are out of the fight!!! Alpha 04 (top center) manages to self rally. The mortar team remains 'men down' (bottom left).<br />

Back with the Commies, their CO rallies the suppressed team atop Hill 70 (center right bottom) as the two rifle teams on their left flank move up (top center, from left top). And then, of course, the Communist mortar team (bottom left) continues pumping out 82mm HE rounds.<br />

Undeterred by the pounding his left flank is taking (just visible at top center), the Communist CO (atop Hill 70 with a rifle team a top) orders three rifle teams to push ahead on his right flank (bottom center).<br />

Alpha 02 (bottom right, with the enemy teams getting pounded by the SLA mortars at top right and the enemy atop Hill 70 at top center left) spots the movement (far left) and opens fire, pinning an enemy rifle team.<br />

But now the Communist mortar team (bottom left) engages Alpha 01, 02, and 03 (top right), as their CO begins moving downslope to rally his suppressed rifle team there (center left).<br />

And with Alpha 03 on the move (just visible at top center), the SLA Company Commander moves up (center right, from bottom right, where the mortar team is located) to join Alpha 04 (center bottom) as the mortar team continues firing, targeting the enemy rifle team atop Hill 70 again (far left top).<br />

Looks like the enemy CO (left, with a suppressed rifle team just above him) got away just in time as the 81mm HE rounds crash down on the military crest of Hill 70, knocking out the Communist rifle team!<br />

With Alpha 03 busy kicking a little ass (far right), Alpha 02 decides to get in the game. They push ahead (center left) and open fire on an enemy rifle team (top left, with the enemy CO and mortar team at top center), suppressing them and pinning a team behind them!<br />

And some good news for the South Leon Army! As things have quieted down in their rear area, the survivors of Alpha 05 and 06 have gotten up, dusted themselves off, and banded together, forming the newly reconstituted Alpha 05!<br /><br />*This was a random event rolled up by the good guys called "Just a Scratch!" where a team that was knocked out is able to come back, though they cannot act in the turn they came back.<br />

And as Alpha 02 is pinned (far left), the two enemy rifle teams on their far right (pinned team with yellow bead at bottom center and team at bottom right) engage Alpha 04 (hidden in the trees at top right), putting them 'men down'!<br />

But they're out of the fight!!!<br /><br />*Nooooooooooo!!!! That's three #$%^ing times in one game that I tried to rally a 'men down' team and they died! And now the SLA CO is isolated and exposed, with no troops left on the left flank. Man, I can't take it, this fight has been super intense!<br />

With the SLA Company Commander busy mourning the loss of Alpha 04 (bottom right), Alpha 02 decides to take matters into his own hands, so he gives a hearty "up and at'em, boys!" and leads his men into close combat (left, from top center)...<br />

And this is immediately followed by the enemy CO (center)signaling to his mortar team (bottom left) to finish off the SLA rifle team, Alpha 03, pinned in the open on the left flank (top right)...<br />

The Communist commander grabs his three remaining rifle teams and pushes ahead, where they capture the SLA command team, mortar team, and reconstituted Alpha 05 (weren't they helpful?)! Marshall, the last remaining TF23 member with A Company, was about to open fire, but the SLA Company Commander signaled him end his resistance lest the Communists massacre his remaining men. Marshall had no choice but to acquiesce to the Company Commander's request, and so he was captured, too.<br />

Well ladies and gentlemen, we have a first: the SLA's A Company was defeated, with the majority of its men killed or captured, so it is no longer an effective fighting force and is removed from the campaign pool and map! The FSNL's 8th Company will hold its ground (B6), but next turn it is most likely to attack the SLA C Company from the east, is likely to push between the SLA C Company and TF Bowie, and is less likely to hold in place.</div>

Well, after the last fight I said, "Oh my goodness, that's the kind of fight I live for!" And this was definitely that, except for that last part, the part where I lost the damn game! Man, so many ups and downs in that game, real swings in momentum, really #@$%ing with my emotions ;) And for the first time in a long time, hell, maybe ever, mortars really played a significant role in the combat in a game of 5Core Company Command. I mean, those two were simply dominant, ripping people to shreds. I think a lot of that was down to the 'meeting engagement' aspect of this game, where there was a lot of ground to cover between the two opposing forces. Didn't hurt that there was a lot of terrain to block line of sight and thus keep small arms fire to a minimum, either. So, men running to and fro, commanders dashing hither and yon to rally their men, mortars raining down on both sides, and then some close combat to cap it all off! </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Looking back, I wouldn't have done anything different as the SLA force, just got killed by those three teams that were 'men down' failing their rolls and getting knocked out, especially the last one, Alpha 04, which was about to rally then charge into close combat. And Alpha 02 charging the suppressed enemy rifle team and not just getting pushed back, but getting whacked!!?? That broke my heart... And now Marshall has been captured! Yeah, nobody cares about the SLA Company Commander and his men, but we've got a Cuban operator in enemy hands, so you can rest assured we'll have a series of fights to get him back.</div>

The South Leon Army's B Company is defending against the FSNL's 2nd Company, which is attacking from the northwest in an attempt to crack the SLA line and reinforce/resupply their comrades in and around Pendrakenville. This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">hold the ground, while the Communist goal is to </span>crush their enemies on the way to the capital. The SLA defenders are bolstered by a team of commandos from the Cuban Task-Force 23.</div>

There is a hardball road running roughly east-to west, with a detour south around Hill 68, with a decent-sized village at the bend (center bottom), as well as several knolls/hillocks. Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle, with a river bend in the southwest (bottom left), though it is shallow and slow moving so relatively easy to ford (slight movement penalty).</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

It is time to fight! I had a roll off to see which side would go first, and the SLA won, then they rolled up a 'Firefight!' which is a good way to start off a defense! The track, Rhino 13 (bottom center, with the TF23 to their left) spots the Communist BRDM (top center) and opens fire with its .50-cal HMG and M-60 MGs, putting a Communist rifle team 'men down' and pinning the crew of the BRDM.<br />

Suppressing one rifle team (red bead at right) and pinning another (yellow bead at left, with the pinned enemy CO between them)!<br /><br />*Couldn't ask for a better start, a 'Firefight!' was just what the doctor ordered, stalling out the enemy attack before they've even jumped off.<br />

But from the enemy far right the ZSU moves up, spots movement up the slope of Hill 68 (Bravo 01, top right), and opens fire, but the hail of 23mm only manages to pin the SLA troops. <br />

But these Commies have had enough of the incredible death and destruction wrought by both sides! The enemy is literally out of troops, so the Cubans and surviving SLA troops sort of win by default, accomplishing their objective of repelling the enemy assault, but at terrible cost.<br />

Oh my goodness, that's the kind of fight I live for! The SLA/Cubans have it all going their way, move up to finish the bad guys off, the Commies catch a lucky break (the 'scurry' that allowed them to rally everyone), then flip the tables, taking down four Allied teams in consecutive close combats before some heroes step up to save the day, holding the line by the skin of their teeth! Tremendous fun! It does rather suck that the SLA Medal of Honor winner was killed; I must be honest, in the heat of battle I forgot he was a Medal of Honor winner and thus did not accord him and his crew any positive dice roll modifier for the close combat they were involved in, even though he won the Medal of Honor for fighting off FSNL infantry in close combat (back in Operation Chunky Bandit #11)… Also, I don't know what's up with those Commie vehicles lately, they just can't seem to get anything accomplished. The ZSU got off two shots with 3K 4s and only managed to score one 'pinned' result. You can't blame that on me, that's pure dice...</div>

So, it's morning and we've got six more fights coming. The SLA Mechanized Battalion is being hard hit by the Communists in their attempt to open a hole to reinforce and resupply their comrades in Pendrakenville, and I'm really astonished that FSNL4 is counterattacking TF Bowie (for their third straight fight) after the butt whoopins they've already received (I mentioned earlier that I probably should have removed FSNL4, not allowed it to fall back, after its second fight with heavy casualties). We'll see how this goes!</div>

The South Leon Army's A Company is defending against the FSNL's 6th Company, which is advancing from north to south down Route 1, trying to break through the SLA line to reinforce and resupply their comrades in and around Pendrakenville. This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">hold the ground, while the Communist goal is to </span>crush their enemies on the way to the capital. The SLA defenders are bolstered by a team of commandos from the Cuban Task-Force 23, led by the task force commander.</div>

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

You can see the Cubans have established a defensive line on the southern (left) edge of the table, with pickets at center (center, and bottom center, just north (right) of the east-west running road, while the Communists have used the cover of darkness to infiltrate right up to the pickets. </span><br />

The SLA pickets are Alpha 02 (top center left) and Alpha 04 (on hill at top right), and the SLA defensive line is, from left to right: Alpha 01, Captain Stelosavo's TF23 team, the MG team (atop the hill), the mortar team (just visible in the trees below the MG team, the SLA Company Commander, and Alpha 03. <br />

The Communists have rifle teams at left, center left, center bottom (in trees), right, and top center, with their ZSU just off the road at right and their commander just ahead of them.<br />
<br />
The battle begins with a Communist 'scurry,' which is good for the bad guys, lets them sneak right up on the SLA defenders without drawing fire.<br />

The Communist force advances, though it's hard to sneak with an armored vehicle rumbling straight down the road... The Communist commander (center, just above the ZSU) spots the SLA picket, Alpha 02 (in trees at center left), and orders the rifle team atop the hill (top center) to assault!<br />

And then all hell breaks loose! Alpha 04, the picket on the right, spots the encroaching enemy rifle teams and opens fire at point-blank range, but they don't do so well in the dark and only manage to pin one of them!<br />
<br />
*The Cubans rolled up a 'Firefight!', so it's on, but then these knuckleheads only get one pin??? I gave them 2K 3S dice, a ridiculously high number for a single rifle team, but I felt warranted based on the tactical situation, which is an ambush at point-blank range against closely compacted enemy forces (three rifle teams practically on top of each other).<br />
<br />
But luckily for Alpha 04, while they're busy firing horribly, they're RTO is on the horn with the mortar team, telling them "...danger close, we're about to be overrun, bring it right in on top of us!!!"<br />

The mortar men are a bit too cautious, not wanting to hit their own men they go long, which does knock out a Communist rifle team (far right), but leaves Alpha 04 (top left) with two others right on top of them!<br />

But the fire is high and ineffective as the SLA defenders work hard to ensure they don't accidentally hit their own men, so Alpha 02 (bottom left) opens fire themselves, suppressing the enemy rifle team on the hill (top right, with the Communist commander pinned at bottom right).<br />
<br />
*Yeah, I'm giving a decent penalty for firing dice because it's dark, so lots of misses.<br />

And this time the mortarmen put it right on the money, putting both enemy rifle teams 'men down,' as well as keeping Alpha 04 suppressed (bottom left), though I don't allow them to fall back (that's what normally would happen to a suppressed team that gets a second suppressed result), it would feel like it's letting them off the hook. I play it that Alpha 04 is truly suppressed, small arms fire crisscrossing the sky and fragments from their own mortars zinging past, so they burrow into the earth, not going anywhere.<br />

But the enemy commander (bottom right) stands tall, firing his pistol into the assaulting troops, and turns them away! Alpha 02 falls back (far left), suppressed!!!<br />

*What!!!??? That was going to end the fight! All he had to do was knock out the weak little enemy command stand, then turn up hill and knock out the two suppressed rifle teams and the two 'men down' rifle teams would have been forced to surrender.<br />

Captain Stelosavo's team (top right) goes 'men down,' and the Commie team charges out to finish them off (top center right), but the SLA MG team (bottom left) spots them and opens fire, pining them down and saving the TF23 team!!!<br />
<br />
*I realize as I'm typing this that I probably should not have allowed the SLA MG Team to fire as that's a long way to see in the dark...<br />

With Captain Stelosavo's team (top left) 'men down,' the Communist commander moves over to rally his two 'men down' rifle squads (right)!<br />

Alpha 03 (bottom center, with the SLA Company Commander at far left) spots them (far right) and opens fire...<br />
<br />
*Again, being dark and with all the concealment in the village, probably shouldn't have allowed that shot to happen. Need to do a better job of remembering it's dark. Probably need to go back and look at the last fight (also in the dark) to see how many times I let long range shooting/spotting occur...<br />

But the Scar 1-1 (bottom left) gets the .50-cal and one of its M-60s going, putting the enemy team (top right) 'men down.'<br />

Man, I thought that was going to be a lot easier than it turned out to be, and even then I was cheating, letting the SLA troops take some long range shots that probably didn't make sense for some night fighting. Their casualties weren't too bad, but what really hurt was the Cuban commando team getting knocked out, sure as hell am not happy about that! I rolled it up and Captain Stelosavo was only wounded, but it's bad enough to require evacuation to Cuba and he's out for the remainder of the campaign in South Leon. I suppose I should have been more clever with the deployment and movement of the Communist ZSU-23-4, but I also shouldn't have let the M-113 take that long range shot on it. They certainly would have heard the enemy vehicle, but would not have seen it, unless we're firing flares now, too, which is not how I'm playing...</div>

Captain Madre-Animral leads his TF Bowie against the FSNL's 4th Company, with whom they are very familiar. That familiarity is born of an absolutely ferocious battle the two held several hours earlier, literally fighting themselves to exhaustion. Unable to press forward yet unwilling to cede ground, both sides called for reinforcements and dug in. This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to crush their enemies on the way to the capital, the Communist goal is to hold the ground.</div>

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

The fire suppresses Bowie 02 (top left) and the enemy team moves up (center, from far right), looking to take advantage of this opening. But, the dogged Cuban Marines spot the advancing enemy and quickly rally themselves back into fighting shape.<br />

TF Bowie defeated FSNL4 and will hold in place (E4) as the Communists are forced to fall back (E5). FSNL4 will most likely continue to withdraw, likely will hold, and less likely will counterattack next turn. Hmmm, kinda interesting there, I probably screwed up again. By my count, FSNL4 has now been involved in two battles, and both times they took pretty heavy casualties, so probably I should have eliminated them as an effective fighting force from the campaign, rather than allow them to survive by falling back.<br />
<br />
Well, not without a few tense moments, but nowhere near as intense as the previous fight, but that's okay, my heart can only take so much. Not too much to talk about, a pretty conventional, straight forward fight, the only real issue being how the Communists can't seem to get their damned T-72 in the fight. Now, it's true that these battles are infantry-centric, and while any tank or AFV on the table is going to be pretty powerful, the fact that there won't be many of them (a max of three at one time) means that they're certainly going to draw a lot of attention, and I think you've seen that by both the Cubans and the Communists, when they're able to isolate a tank/AFV they just keep feeding forces into the fight against it in order to destroy it, no qualms about using all their activations/troops to do that. </div>

1st Lt Madre-Animral leads his TF Bowie straight east, in pursuit of the FSNL's 4th Company, whom they defeated and forced to withdraw earlier this morning. This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to crush their enemies on the way to the capital, the Communist goal is to hold the ground.</div>

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

Wrecking the HMMWV and killing the crew!<br />
<br />
*And wrecking the Cubans' only long-reach anti-tank capability. I am reviewing my notes and cannot, for the life of me, figure out why I let the bad guys have the first activation here, it's a Cuban attack and I normally allow the attacker the first activation unless the tactical situation dictates otherwise. An ambush, for example, but this is no ambush, the Cubans are chasing an enemy they previously defeated.<br />
<br />
But hell with it, there's the new campaign narrative: Earlier this morning TF Redleg defeated a probe conducted by FNSL4, which promptly fell back to their main defensive line. In its zeal to pursue, TF Redleg walked right into strong enemy defensive positions.<br />

Having drawn blood, the BMP then falls back (top right, from far left), daring the Cubans to follow!<br />
<br />

Then the BTR opens up from the village (top right) with its 14.5mm HMG, targeting the other Cuban HMMWV (far left)...<br />

The fire is ineffective and the HMMWV crew returns fire (bottom center left) with its .50-cal HMG...<br />
<br />

But they miss, too, so the BTR displaces forward (bottom center, from center top), out of line of sight behind the hill at bottom left.<br />
<br />

Bowie 05 dashes up to cover (center left, from off camera to bottom left), but an enemy rifle atop the nearby hill (top right) takes them under fire, pinning them down.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So Bowie 04 moves up in support (far left, with Bowie 05 at bottom center) and engages the enemy rifle team (top right).<br />
<br />

Bowie 05 then turns its fire back on the hilltop, but again the two simply exchange ineffectual fire.<br />

Then charges the Communist hilltop position!!!<br />

*The Cubans rolled up a 'scurry,' which allowed the CO to rally the HMMWV and then charge without drawing react fire. But it's ugly, one command stand vs an armored fighting vehicle and a suppressed rifle team.<br />

While on the far right flank, Bowie 03 charges the Communist BTR!<br />
<br />
*Again, the 'scurry' a allowed them to charge without drawing react fire. The BTR is suppressed, but it's an armored vehicle with limited capability vs close-in infantry assault and with little situational awareness, while the Cubans have the initiative and a quality bonus, so it's Cuban +2 and Commie -1 on the opposed D6 die roll.<br />

They take up position on the northern hill (to left), with the immobilized HMMWV behind them and Bowie 03 holding down the right flank (bottom center), as the Communists move their last remaining rifle team into the village, joining their commander and the T-72 (right/top right). And from there they sit and stare at each other, each firmly planted in the ground it holds, but too weak to dislodge the enemy from theirs!<br />
<br />
Both commanders put out a call for reinforcements and order their men to dig in.<br />

TF Bowie and FSNL4 beat the absolute hell out of each other, fighting to a draw. Both battlegroups will remain in place (E4) and fight again as soon as possible next turn, after having received reinforcements.<br />
<br />
Holy crap, that was insane! Things went wrong right from the get-go, but then the heroic (and lucky) actions of Lt Madre-Animral and Bowie 03 not only saved the Cubans from catastrophic defeat, they actually completely turned the tables on the enemy, knocking out two of their three vehicles and four of their rifle teams in close combat! Quite the turnabout, and it's funny sometimes, sometimes in the game you just get to the point where you're like "I'm getting the @#$% kicked out of me, I might as well charge and see what happens," and the next thing you know you've racked up quite a string of victories and totally changed the complexion of the game.<br />
<br />
A funny side note: Bowie 03 is listed on the roster as a hero (should get another +1 in close combat and 2D6 when rallying), but I screwed up and didn't use it! I thought it was Bowie 04 that was supposed to be the hero, and they got mowed down by the Communist rifle team on the hill, right at the start, so Bowie 03 went on that rampage without having the benefit of their "hero" status!</div>

Bowie 03 Team Leader was awarded the Medal of Honor for halting the enemy advance threatening the Cuban right flank, then, finding his team completely isolated and alone, leading a counterattack that destroyed a Communist armored personnel carrier, eliminated two enemy rifle teams, and captured another in close assault. Bowie 03's team leader was given a battlefield commission, promoted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.<br />
<br />
1st Lt Madre-Animral, TF Bowie commander, was awarded the Navy Cross for dashing into heavy enemy fire to rally the crew of an immobilized HMMWV and then leading his command team uphill to close assault a Communist armored fighting vehicle and rifle team, knocking both out in close combat that saved the crumbling Cuban left flank. Lt Madre-Animral was meritoriously promoted to Captain.</div>

Unfortunately the withdrawal was halted when FSNL5 decided to counterattack TF Redleg on Hill 261, which allowed the pursuing FLA3 to catch them.</span></div>

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

The Communists have rifle teams at top right (three, with two visible and one hidden by trees), center right (two in the trees, where their commander is also located), and one at bottom center, with the recoiless rifle team on the hill above them and the Technical behind.<br />
<br />
I'm going to call that clump of trees surrounding the cultivated field at far right 'The Grove,' so as to give you an easy terrain reference.<br />

Let us get to it then! I rolled to see which side would go first, weighted towards the bad guys (+2), but the Cubans still got lucky and pulled it out, so the fight starts in a bit of crisis when the VAB vehicle commander (bottom left) looks up to find the Communists have snuck up a rifle team (top right) and a recoiless rifle team (center right top) right on top of them (he can't see the Technical, it's behind the knoll). He jumps on the .50-cal and opens fire, pinning both the rifle team and the heavy weapons crew!<br />

And the results are devastating, with the jungle huts providing absolutely no cover vs the 7.62mm slugs coming from the M-240G. One insurgent team is knocked out, one is 'men down' (white bead), and one is suppressed (red bead)!<br />

The just-rallied rifle team in the village opens fire on Razor 03 (top center) and puts them 'men down,' too!<br />
<br />
The Commies rolled up a "Firefight!" and this has gotten real ugly, real quick, and I'm worried TF Razor, with three teams 'men down' and one suppressed, is about to be overrun. The only good news is that their units in the southeast, including the Technical, weren't able to participate as they didn't have any targets in sight and aren't allowed to move.<br />

Razor 01 (top center) is in great position to return fire, but their SAW jams!!!<br />
<br />
Captain Soares (left) scans the battlefield, assesses the situation, and curses under this breath. "Alright boys, time to make the doughnuts."<br />
<br />
*The bad guys also rolled up a random event, "Opening," which allows them to prevent one of my teams from reaction firing, and this was it.<br />

But they're knocked out!!!<br />
<br />
*Yeah, when a team is 'men down' they are treated as even worse than suppressed, so that they are not allowed to self rally, they can only be rallied by a friendly unit coming in contact with them, and then you still have to roll a D6 to see if it worked. If you roll a 2-5 they're good to go, a 1 means they stay down, and a 6 means they're out of the fight, they no longer constitute and effective fighting force.<br />
<br />
That really sucks as I've got two more teams that are 'men down,' so I needed them to be good, then they could move over to check the next 'men down' team, right?<br />

Knocking out one enemy team and suppressing the other!<br />

Trying to help out, the VAB commander moves up the road (center, from bottom center) to try and rally Razor 04, but they panic and fall back (bottom left)! Nonplussed, the vehicle commander opens fire on the village with his .50-cal HMG...<br />

And if the flimsy jungle huts are not going to protect you from 7.62mm rounds, they sure as hell aren't going to protect you from .50-caliber rounds! Another enemy rifle team is knocked out, and the enemy commander is pinned down.<br />

The Communists roll up a 'Firefight!', but they don't have anyone that can fire, so it converts to a 'scurry,' which will certainly help them. They set about a round of self-rallying and everybody (rifle team at bottom left, recoiless rifle team at left, and rifle team in the grove -top center) is good, except the commander (far right), who rolled 'snake-eyes,' which caused him to stay pinned. The Communists have a rifle team just off camera to far right that is 'men down,' so it can't self rally.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Technical (left) is getting antsy, feels like he needs to do something...<br />
<br />
*Yeah, when commanders are attempting to rally they roll 2D6 and take the better roll. I also do this for the Cubans when their CO is trying to rally someone, but not when a team is self-rallying. That's a benefit of being a better class of troop.<br />

The VAB commander knows he needs to do something to keep the Cuban right flank from crumbling. He knows it's going to draw fire from that nasty 12.7mm DsHK, but he also knows that something's gotta be done now, so he orders his driver to head back south (bottom center, from top right)...<br />

Razor 02 rallies the MG team, then advances into the street and fires a LAW at the enemy Technical...<br />

While on the enemy far right, their commander, still pinned, moves up to check on his last remaining rifle team on the right, but they stay 'men down'! <br />
<br />
*The bad guys have absolutely no luck this game. They also rolled another 'Firefight!' and again cannot use it because no one is able to fire, so it again converts to a 'scurry.' They also rolled another random event and it's the exact same one they got earlier, "Opening." But no one can fire during a 'scurry,' anyway...<br />

On the Communist left, their rifle team (bottom center left) and recoiles rifle team (center) move up, hoping to cause some chaos for the Cubans.<br />

But the Cubans wisely use the lull to begin falling their troops back to the west. The VAB moves over to Razor 04 (bottom right) and rallies them.<br />
<br />
*This was in response to the bad guy 'scurry,' so now it's the good guys' turn, but they roll a damn 'Firefight!' That sucks, they really need to keep moving west...<br />

But, no matter. Since we're stuck and have to fire anyway, might as well bring overwhelming firepower to bear on the few remaining enemy units. Razor 01 (far left) opens fire on the Communist recoiless rifle team (top right), suppressing them.<br />

And then Razor 02 (bottom center left, with Captain Soares at far left) opens fire on the enemy rifle team (top right), suppressing them, too. Hell, didn't even need overwhelming firepower. <br />

They roll a 'scurry,' which is not bad, since they need to rally their troops, but it's not going to help them keep the Cubans from withdrawing. The Commies also rolled another random event, "Ouch!", which calls for a random team to go 'men down,' but they're in such a bad spot already that I just ignore it. The rifle at bottom left and the recoiless rifle both manage to successfully self rally, as the enemy commander (top right) checks his 'men down' rifle team...</span><br />

But hey, good news, the Cubans roll another damned 'Firefight!', so they still can't escape, and we go through the same damn process... Razor 01 (far left) again fires on the Communist recoiless rifle team (top right), and this time they put them 'men down,' means they're done. There's no way the enemy CO is going to be able to get all the way over there to rally them, and even if he does, they'll probably just die anyway ;)<br />

The bad guys finally roll a normal activation, but they also roll another random event, which doesn't apply in this situation. The enemy CO begins moving (top right) towards his 'men down' recoiless rifle team (center), as his suppressed rifle team (bottom left) attempts to self-rally...<br />

TF Razor successfully carried off their fighting withdrawal! So successful, in fact, that not only do they get to follow in trace of TF Redleg (F4, from F5), but the Communist battlegroup needs to fall back in order to regroup (F6, from F5)! FLA3 will be more likely to hold next turn, likely to continue falling back, and less likely to pursue.</div>

Well, that was interesting, but kinda broke down on account of terrible rolls for the bad guys, both in terms of activations and rallying dice. They hardly got to fire at all, and less than half of their rally attempts were successful! No sweat, sometimes war bees like that. The only thing I wish I'd have done differently is to put more pressure on the Cubans, which I think could/should be done by replacing every enemy team that gets knocked out. Every time a Commie rifle team got killed, I should have 'spawned' another one at table's edge to make things more urgent; this was supposed to be a fighting withdrawal, after all!</div>

Next up we have Lt Madre-Animral's Task Force Bowie in a re-fight against FSNL's 4th Company. Earlier this morning TF Bowie defeated FSNL4 and forced them to fall back, and now they are in hot pursuit, hoping to roll them before they get a chance to recover.</div>

This morning they assaulted the rear of the FSNL's 5th Company's positions, tossing them a beatdown and forcing them to fall back to re-group, but the Cubans weren't able to capitalize, having to move cautiously in the densely jungled hilly terrain, which allowed FSNL5 time to regroup. Not only did the Communists regroup, they have actually staged a counterattack, so Lt Ordonez quickly shakes his men out into a hasty defense (ambush mentality!) in order to throw back their assailants. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to repel the enemy attack, the Communist goal is to destroy the Cuban force. </span></div>

Major Fulgencio is leaving Lt Ordonez in overall command of his Task Force but will assist as necessary, essentially performing as a second command stand in the game. This proved a winning combination as Major Fulgencio was key in breaking the enemy's defense in the last fight, leading several close assaults that saw him awarded the Bronze Star w/V.</span></div>

There is a hardball road running from the south to northwest, with hamlets at top left and bottom center, as well as several knolls/hillocks. Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle. Oh, and that giant elevation, Hill 261. I'm pretty much treating this like a meeting engagement, though I gave the Communists much more room in deployment than I did the Cuban Marines, for some reason...</span><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

The Communists have three rifle teams manning the treeline at left (bottom left and two at left), one at top center, and one at center right (in the trees, on the road, below the knoll). Their MG team is located near the small rise at center left (just above the large, cultivated field), with their commander just right of them. And I screwed up so you can't see them, but the Communist mortar team is hidden by the trees just left of their MG team (look at the treeline defended at left; the mortar team is behind the trees between the top rifle team and the MG team).<br />

We must now fight! The game begins with Major Fulgencio and Redleg 05 and 06 group moving downslope.<br />
<br />
*It's just occurred to me that this was supposed to be a Communist attack/Cuban hasty defense, but I've somehow turned it into a Cuban attack/Communist hasty defense. No matter, it still works, the Cubans are trying to break out of their encirclement, get back to friendly lines, so even though the Communists were driven away and came back, it still makes sense for the Cubans to keep moving.<br />

As Major Fulgencio continues pushing the MG team and Redleg 05 and 06 forward (center/top center and top right), and they're in luck as there are no enemy teams that can see them and react fire that are not already pinned or suppressed! Meanwhile, Redleg 04 (just visible in the trees with explosion at bottom right) is feeling a bit froggy...<br />

They easily knock the Communist rifle team out, then move up, crossing the road to get at the enemy commander, who stands firm with his command team and opens fire on the charging Cuban Marines!<br />

And the Marines are gunned down in the street!!!<br />
<br />
*Kinda interesting there, I don't usually allow command teams to fire, but this situation seemed to merit it, so I gave them Guard Fire with one Kill dice and, of course, they rolled a '6' to knock out the charging Cuban team. Which was quite fortuitous for them, as the Cubans almost assuredly would have knocked out the command team in close combat, then moved on the enemy AGL team. There it would have been interesting as the un-pinned/un-suppressed AGL team would have gotten two Kill dice in Guard Fire, but if the Cubans would have made it through that they would almost certainly have knocked the AGL team out in close combat, and it's all downhill from there, with the mortar team and pinned/suppressed rifle teams in the enemy rear. That would have been Medal of Honor time for Redleg 04...<br />

Major Fulgencio and Redleg 06 knock out the enemy rifle team and commander (far left) and move to cross the road, flanking the enemy position, though they (center) can't quite reach the mortar team and suppressed AGL team (far right).<br />

The two remaining rifle teams in the defended treeline (left/bottom left) self rally.

Redleg 01's (top right) is ineffective and the AGL team (bottom left) returns fire! The 30mm grenades rain down, suppressing Redleg 01 and pinning Lt Ordonez and his command team!<br />
<br />
*What the hell is going on here? We were on the cusp of winning when Major Fulgencio and Redleg 06 get thrown back, I can't get them rallied because I'm pushing the left flank forward, and now they're beat to crap...<br />

But they (left and bottom center) both manage to self rally as the AGL team falls back to cover (top left, from top center).<br />
<br />
*The bad guys rolled a 'scurry,' which was helpful, but probably would have been better off with a normal activation or 'Firefight!' as now they can only move, not fire, and I believe another round of fire by the AGL team, raining down grenades on the bunched-up Cubans in the south, would have been catastrophic.<br />

The enemy reacts by pushing one rifle team south (left, from left top) and the other forward (right bottom, from bottom center), towards the Cubans (far right). They really wanted to move their AGL team (far left) up to the treeline (center left) to support the assault, but had to stay in place to counter the Cubans threatening their left flank (top center left and top right).<br />

Goodness, I'm exhausted! I wasn't sure what to expect from that fight, but that turned into a damn bloodbath, both sides fighting to practically the last man! Man, too much happened in that fight to really nail it down, with both sides getting more than their fair share of lucky and unlucky breaks. The big moment that turned this from a 'normal' fight that sees the superior Cuban forces bend then break their opponent's defense was when the decision was made for the Communist mortar team to abandon their tube, grab their personal weapons, and charge into close combat. Sure, most of the time the bad guys are going to be at a disadvantage in close combat (which is an opposed die roll with modifiers for troop quality, morale, and tactical situation) due to the Cubans being better troops and the Cubans generally only closing with Communist troops that pinned or suppressed, but if you give the dice enough tries they will eventually bite you. So the bad guys threw the mortarmen in to stop Major Fulgencio and Redleg 06 and failed, then threw in a rifle team and failed, and then the damn AGL team rose up and fought them off (a draw that forced the Cubans to fall back, suppressed) which changed the entire complexion of the fight. Hell, having said that, don't forget about Redleg 04 beating a Communist rifle team in close combat and advancing on the exposed and alone enemy commander, and getting gunned down by reactive fire! That was a heckuva fight, lotsa fun!</div>

Redleg 06 Team Leader was awarded the Bronze Star w/V for leading the assault that destroyed the enemy command team, mortar team, and two rifle teams, and captured an enemy AGL team and rifle team.*<br />
<br />
*This certainly reads like more than a Bronze Star, but I'm not giving anything to Major Fulgencio (who was with Redleg 06 the whole time) and I'm not going past Bronze Star for Redleg 06 because it wasn't as sexy as it sounds. Don't forget that they were repulsed by the AGL team, which stalled the entire Cuban attack, and the "...captured an enemy AGL team and rifle team" part occurred after other Cuban teams had already done the heavy lifting. But I wanted to do something to recognize the young NCO in charge of Redleg 06, so there you go.</div>

Next up we have Captain Soares' Task Force Razor fighting a rear-guard action against the Free Leon Army's 3rd Company. TF Razor is the other part of Task Group Fulgencio, which was cut off from friendly forces and is now fighting to break out and return to friendly lines. Unfortunately the withdrawal was halted when FSNL5 decided to counterattack TF Redleg on Hill 261, which allowed the pursuing FLA3 to catch them.</div>

Major Chavez leads his TF Hammer in pursuit of the FSNL 3rd Company, which has previously been defeated by TF Hammer, was forced to retreat, ran into the SLA's D Company, was defeated again and was forced tp retreat. The overall Task Group commander, Major Halabrio, has decided to attach himself to the assault element, leaving Major Chavez in overall commander but willing and able to assist as necessary, functioning as a second command stand for the Cubans.</div>

This is a simple attack/defend scenario; the Cuban goal is to crush their enemies on the way to the capital, the Communist goal is to hold the ground.</div>

There is a hardball road running east to west with an offshoot running south, with two small hamlets present (bottom center and top right), as well as several knolls/hillocks. Other than that we've got several cultivated fields and scattered jungle.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

<br />
I must admit that I always get a bit nervous when I roll up a great force like this. They've maxed out the number of rifle stand you can have, AND the number of vehicles, and the vehicles are pretty damn powerful (tanks and IFVs vs HMMWVs, for example).<br />

Oh, and there's Major Halabrio, the Task Group commander. That is probably the clearest, brightest photo of a 10mm figure I have ever taken! This is a Minifigs' Australian from their Vietnam range. I love the boonie covers and big packs!</div>

*Good grief, this looks like a damn Civil War battle! What happened is that the Cubans started the game with a 'scurry,' which allowed the Communists to respond, so everyone closed the distance in a hurry without a shot being fired. But stuff is about to hit the fan...<br />

*The T-72 (top right) could have react fired on the moving Marder, but would have done so with only 1K 1S and it would then not have been able to act in its own turn, where it would be able to fire on the Marder with 2K 3S and be able to move, so it decided not to.<br />

But the Cubans keep up the pressure, with Hammer 01 moving forward (center top, from far left) and looking to put a LAW into the enemy tank (top right). The enemy tankers realize the threat and open fire with their coax...<br />
<br />
*The T-72 was trying to hold out by not using its react fire, which was cool when the Marder moved in front of it but wasn't able to shoot because it fired before it moved and thus did not present a threat, but these Cuban infantrymen are now close enough that they can put a rocket in their shorts, so they must react.<br />

And it works for the T-72, Hammer 01 (casualty figures at center top) is gunned down, but the Cubans keep up the pressure, with Marder 02 moving up and firing its 20mm autocannon on the Communist tank! The 20mm shells fail to penetrate but do manage to suppress the crew!<br />
<br />
*And then the Communists roll up a 'scurry,' which is a good thing for them, will allow them to rally folks and move their infantry up into position, maybe even pull off some close assaults.<br />

A flurry of Communist activity: the enemy CO rolls up and rallies a suppressed rifle team (center, next to burning BMP), a rifle team moves up to check on a 'men down' rifle team (just above them), a rifle team moves up on the knoll (center top, just left of the guys I was just talking about), a rifle team moves up on the Cuban CO (bottom left), and the T-72 (top center right) attempts to self rally.

TF Hammer eliminates the weakened and disorganized FSNL1 that was routed by the SLA D Company (C3). Yeah, I didn't have to eliminate FSNL1 without a fight like that, but it felt good ;) And it makes up for allowing FSNL3 to survive two different fights it should have been eliminated in. So, not just an issue of fairness, but also in keeping the campaign moving along, which is already eight fights in and still there are still eleven (11!!!) enemy battlegroups still on the board. I'm in no real hurry, but would like to finish this campaign some time before 2057...<br />
<br />
Man, that was a helluva fight, exactly what I expected and hoped for, a slugfest between two heavyweights! Sure, it could have been a bit more bloody for the Cubans, but as I mentioned after the last fight, when a battle turns, it turns! And don't forget, the Cubans are rated much higher (in terms of technical and tactical proficiency) than the Communists and still lost a tank and two rifle teams, and easily could have lost a bunch more. The turning point was the Cubans' willingness/ability to keep throwing forces at the T-72 in order to keep it from going on a rampage, and Major Halabrio and Hammer 03 halting the enemy close assault in the center, which likely would have rolled up the entire Cuban left if they weren't stopped there. Lots of fun.<br />

As breakup the breakup of the Soviet Union grows nearer, its decay has weakened the government's control over its vast territory, particularly in the various republics, where an inability of the government to care for its people has begun to collapse the various societies, which inevitably leads to nefarious means of making money. In this case, organized crime has been quick to step in, beginning with black market goods and services, which quickly progressed to gambling, drugs, prostitution, and has now graduated to facilitating transnational terrorism.<br />
<br />
Several weeks ago Cuban intelligence became aware of a plot to strike a Cuban embassy in Europe. Very quickly evidence mounted of the movement of personnel, money, and materials through Europe via Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) networks, but then it went dark. Then gold was struck: three days ago the United Kingdom's intelligence service shared information regarding an IRGC courier tied to the plot surfacing in a rural area outside Taurege, Lithuania. Section 20 immediately went to work and got a confirmed location.</div>

Overview, north is up. There is a fordable river running north-south on the left side of the board, while the main road runs east west, before branching north-south at far right, where there is small farming compound consisting of three buildings. Other than that there are a couple rocky outcroppings just west of the farming compound, a small stock pond north of the farming compound, some trees, hedges, and a ton of cultivated fields. The mobsters are quite... influential in the area, and so have established two checkpoints on the road; one is just west of the bridge (bottom left), the other is just west of the crossroads (far right).<br />

The opposing forces, with Cuban SOF at left, the Cuban hostage at center, and bad guys at right. This is not an exact description of the enemy forces that will be faced during the game as not all bad guys pictured here will begin on the board, and some that are killed will be regenerated.<br />
<br />
We're playing this game in 15mm using Osprey's "Black Ops" ruleset. The good guys are from Khurasan, the target is from Flytrap Factory, and the bad guys are from Eureka. The mat is from Frontline Gaming, the three fields at the top are from Eslo, the buildings and bridge are from Novus Design Studios, the roads are Fat Frank, the walls and haystacks are JR Miniatures (now Novus Studios?), the trees are from Crescent Root Studios, the pond is from Battlefront (it came with two, I broke one trying to flatten it out!), and the rock escarpments are from someone on Ebay (sorry, I don't recall who).<br />
<br />
I'm playing this out with my two boys; they control the Cuban SOF, while I'm sort of umpiring and controlling the bad guys, which are really programmed opponents until things 'go loud.' The way the rules work is that the SOF dudes are sneaking around and you roll to see what the bad guy sentries are doing, until the SOF dudes get discovered (make too much noise, get seen, then the alarm gets raised), at which point it turns into a 'regular' shooty-type wargame.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

Overview, now with the bad guys present. They have the checkpoints manned, each one containing a PK machine gun and two riflemen. Other than that, the Courier is peacefully asleep in the Objective Building (far right), as is The Godfather, in the building just across the street from him, while "snipers" are posted atop each rocky outcrop. Lastly, there are a number (3) roving sentries: top right (above the pond), top left (next to the chicken coop), and on the road in the southeast (bottom right).<br />

Looking at the northeast, you can see a rover above the pond and a sniper on the rocky outcropping (far left).<br />

The Cuban SOF Direct Action Team is infiltrating from the northwest (top left), with the Assault Element up high and the Security Element just below them. They're set up this way because they figure they need to get the suppressed weapon up front quick and take out the rover next to the chicken coop (right).<br />

Bravo 01 and Bravo 03 push up the left side, getting behind the cultivated field (top right), but the rover gets curious, or anxious, or bored, and decides to go check things out at the river (bottom right), snuggling up to the Security Element (bottom left), and catching Bravo 08 and Bravo 04 (top left) in the open! He doesn't spot the Security element, but he sure as hell spots the two commandos in the open!<br />

The boys in the southwest checkpoint (bottom left) hear the gunfire and decide something ought to be done; they draw straws and the machine gunner draws the short one.

More movement by the mobster guards: a man from the eastern checkpoint and the southern rover meet up in the southeast (bottom right), as the other rifleman from the eastern checkpoint moves west (left) down the road, the cuts north (right) next to the southern outcropping, where the southern sniper is still sitting, leaving only the MG in the eastern checkpoint. The northern sniper has pushed north, reaching just below the pond, while the western checkpoint's machine gunner and one rifleman are pushing north (up) along the riverbank (far left), leaving a rifleman in the western checkpoint (off camera to far bottom left).<br />

Back in the north, the northern sniper heard the suppressed gunshots and moves up to check it out (right, from bottom left), running right into Bravo 08...<br />

But all the gunfire has awakened The Godfather, who adjusts his beret and groggily looks around for someone to yell at.<br />

With The Godfather awake (top right), one of the east checkpoint riflemen moves north, back up the road (far right), while the machine gunner and rifleman from the west checkpoint actually move to cross the river (top left).<br />

In the center, the southern sniper realizes he doesn't have a very good view to his right, where the gunfire was coming from, so he comes down (center right, from bottom right) to get a better look, and ends up spotting Bravo 06 (top left, with The Godfather's house at top right)!<br />

And as Bravo 06 (top right, with Bravo 02 and Bravo 07 at top center) is keying in to let everyone know he thinks the southern sniper (off camera to right) spotted him, the mobster machine gunner and rifleman from the western checkpoint cross the river (bottom left).<br />

In the northeast, Bravo 04 moves up (far right) to cover Bravo 08 (center bottom) as he moves around the north end of the warehouse, looking to get at the Objective Building (far left), as The Godfather (center left) continues yawning, stretching, and scratching on his front porch.<br />

In the west, things have taken a turn for the worse: Bravo 07 moves into the crop field and runs into the west checkpoint's machine gunner and rifleman crossing the river; "Bravo 02, this is 07, we got company, going loud!" And with that, he opened fire with his Mk-48 machine gun, pinning both mobsters in the river.<br />

Back with the Security Element, the last rifleman in the west checkpoint (top right) has taken off running, getting onto the bridge. Bravo 07 (bottom left) spots him and, with the two mobsters in the river pinned down, opens fire on the runner and lays him down!<br />

The Cubans continuing fire on the mobster machine gun, including Bravo 01 (bottom center), here, but he's behind that damned stone wall and they just can't seem to hit him!<br />

Bravo 02 flashes a NATO buzzsaw and ITGs the bird in, talking them in on VHF (yeah, how's that for memories?). Satisfied he's got the right field and there are no obstruction, power lines, or obstacles on the LZ, the pilot pulls pitch and eases into a hover.<br />

Shortly thereafter, still before dawn broke, a red sedan pulled into the area, lights out, driver operating the vehicle with night vision goggles.<br />
<br />

The sedan pulled off the road, heading north, slowly picking its way between the various trees, fields, and hedges.<br />
<br />

The red sedan continues winding its way forward, clearly a very difficult undertaking in the dark, before finally lurching to a halt near a stand of trees.<br />

And getting the hell out of there.<br />
<br />
So, again the Cubans have two men go down to enemy fire, and though they were very lucky with Bravo 01 (not so lucky, you only need a 4+ to get a guy back in the fight), they were very unlucky to suffer their first fatality.<br />
<br />
But overall, another mission success, with the boys getting pretty good at this Tier 1 Operator stuff ;) They're learning how to move, shoot, and communicate, learning how to process information, what information is relevant and what information is not, how to prioritize it, and how to make a decision and carry it out in an expeditious manner, which is really great to see. The older boy, heading up the Security Element, was fun to watch, because he was really in weird position in this fight, with no clearly dominating terrain (it may look like it, but because of all the trees and hills, those two rocky outcroppings, though elevated, really weren't all that useful) or even path to look to in order to carry out his mission of getting the Assault Element to the objective and back out again, but he stayed flexible and did a great job I thought, even down a man from early on. He even wanted to dispatch a man to go pick up Bravo 05's body, but I told him I had another idea for how to accomplish that.<br />
<br />
The rules worked out well again, getting much more comfortable with them, but I'm a bit worried as the we were again upstairs for about 3 1/2 hours, which is quite awhile to expect the attention of a ten and five year old. All the sneaking around really takes a long time; I want to keep playing, but I'm thinking I may have to go back to solo play and get them back to stuff that's faster.<br />
<br />
So the Direct Action Team delivered The Courier to Section 20's interrogators, who immediately went to work on him, first breaking, then debriefing him for intelligence information on the pending Embassy plot. He was quite forthcoming, providing the Cubans with a trove of information, much of which was immediately useful, some of which is leading directly to the Direct Action Team's next mission. As they saw, intel drives operations ;)<br />

The SLA's D Company was dug-in deep into defensive positions oriented north, prepared to fight off the Commie hordes coming down Route 1, but were suddenly attacked from the west by FSNL3, which was retreating from a beatdown they received at the hands of TF Hammer. It turned out to not be a big deal; the company quickly re-oriented itself to the west and very easily gave the retreating Communists a bloody nose, sending them packing in a northerly direction. Security patrols were quickly sent out in all directions, seeking to find out if any other enemy forces were lurking in directions unexpected, and even hoping to tie in with the incoming Cuban forces, but bad news came back: fresh enemy troops were spotted coming in from the north! It seems a new enemy formation passed through the retreating Communist troops they'd just defeated, and now D Company had to re-orient itself to defend to the north again.<br />
<br />
I could have played this straight up, had the Communists attacking north to south against prepared defensive positions, but I figured I owed it to you guys to make it a bit more difficult, to try and make up for screwing it up last time! So in instead of fighting from prepared positions, the Cubans will start with a small patrol out front, with reinforcements coming in from the rear, looking to stave off the steely-eyed Commies of FSNL's 1st Company.</div>

The objectives here are simple: the Communists are seeking to destroy D Company and any other Allied units blocking the Route 1 in order to allow resupply and reinforcement of Pendrakenville. D Company's goal is to hold firm.</div>

There is a hardball road running straight north/south, with a mid-sized village in the center, as well as several knolls/hillocks.

The figures are all 10mm from Pendraken, Minifigs UK, and Butler's Printed Models. I'm using Ivan's "5Core Company Command," playing on a 3' x 2' surface with simple terrain to speed up the process. The hootches are from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, the roads are from Fat Frank, the hills are from Warzone, the fences are from Sarissa, the fields are from Hotzmats, the trees are cake toppers, and when you see the rivers, they're from Wargamers Terrain. I'm playing solo and will randomize enemy deployment using a system of blinds borrowed from Joe Legan's "Platoon Forward."</div>

In terms of caliber of forces, the SLA, FSNL, and FLA troops will all be treated equally, except for the fact the FLA troops will be treated as fanatics, in terms of their willingness to advance into close combat. The Cubans are more tactically and technically proficient, and so they will receive extra firing dice, better rallying capability, bonus in close combat, and sometimes will have a second command stand on the table.</div>

The SLA force had rolled up a 'Firefight!' and done tremendous damage to the FSNL troops, with only one enemy team in position to respond (not suppressed or 'men down'). The Communist rifle team at bottom right returns fire on Delta 03 (bottom left, pinning them.<br />

The bad guys roll up a Firefight of their own, which is disastrous, they really need the ability to rally their troops, and this doesn't do it. They also roll up a random event: "Hit and Run," where a team can fire at any point in its movement, not just before or after. Well, they've only got one team still in the fight, so that rifle team moves up (right bottom, from bottom right) and fires again on Delta 03 (far left)...<br />

Once again the SLA D Company mounts a magnificent defense resulting in a resounding success. D Company will hold their ground (C4), while FSNL1 is forced to fall back to the west (C3). Next turn they will most likely continue to fall back, will likely hold, and will less likely counterattack.</div>

So that was much more interesting (to me, at least), compared to their last fight, which was defending from prepared positions. The fight may have seemed like another blowout, but I would submit that if you believe that you're missing how close that really was, and that's what I love about 5Core Company Command, how dynamic it is, and how unpredictable it is. The fight was pretty evenly matched, but then the Communists gained the upper hand by out-pacing the SLA by getting almost all their troops into the village (at one point Delta 04 was alone and suppressed vs the BTR and three rifle teams), but then the SLA got a firefight and the MG team really saved the day by putting a team 'men down' and suppressing the enemy CO and the BTR. This set the stage for the SLA CO to rally Delta 04 then go on their close assaulting rampage that secured the victory. From my standpoint it's a lot like Crossfire, where there's some back and forth and then something breaks and it's all downhill from there. The only other piece to this is that this was such a crushing victory by SLA D Company that it wouldn't have been off limits to have simply eliminated FSNL1, rather than allow them to fall back, particularly given the fact I had to allow them to 'fall back' laterally as opposed to straight away as, once again, a Communist battle group falling back was 'squeezed' by an Allied unit behind it.</div>

It is 0330 local time on 27 July 1990, and a team of Free Cuban commandos is on the move, conducting a clandestine rescue mission in Oman.<br />
<br />
Following the War of Liberation, in which exiled Cubans successfully staged a coup against the Castro regime and created a democratic government, Castro hardliners, backed by Venezuela, were causing trouble in the homeland with various acts of terrorism. The Cuban government actually sought to buy-off the hardliners in Operation Payoff, which was a trap from the beginning. Cuban Special Operations were dispatched to bring the provocateurs to justice; implicated were Castro die-hards, member of the Venezuelan government, as well as members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). All known accomplices were dispatched in Operation Payback. But the world continues to be a very dangerous place, with threats to Cuban citizens and interests not only in Cuba but also without, and so the Cuban Defense Minister created Section 20 to deal with threats outside the homeland.<br />
<br />
Section 20 is a self contained Special Missions Unit, comprised of its own Command, Communications, Logistics, Transportation, Intelligence Collection (HUMINT, SIGINT, and IMINT), and Direct Action elements, whose mission is to detect, identify, and neutralize threats to Cuban citizens and interests worldwide in a clandestine manner, answering directly to the National Command Authority.</div>
<br />
Two days ago a wealthy Cuban businessman was abducted off the coast of Oman while on a chartered fishing expedition. Section 20 immediately went to work and less than 48 hours later they had confirmed the abductee's location in a small fishing village near Sur, Oman, right down to the house he was being held in. The planners of the Command Element immediately went to work, working up a plan, setting in motion the logistics and transportation elements. By 0230 on 27 July 1990, the shooters of Section 20 had donned their gear and were entering the water, beginning their swim into the target area.<br />

Overview of the target area, north is down. At left is the Cuban SOF's entry, coming out of the water after having SCUBA'ed in. At right is the fishing village where the Cuban businessman is being held; he's actually in the walled compound at top right, the second building down, which is the objective. The building above the objective is the house where the terrorist commander is sleeping. All other buildings are civilian-owned, with civilians not happy and fearful due to the arrival of the terrorists, so they're all staying inside.<br />

Bottom left. This is where the Cubans would actually come ashore, and I freaked out a bit at the lack of cover, so I ultimately ended up adding some fishing boats at bottom left for the Cubans to stage behind.<br />

The opposing forces, with Cuban SOF at left, the Cuban hostage at center, and bad guys at right. This is not an exact description of the enemy forces that will be faced during the game as not all bad guys pictured here will begin on the board, and some that are killed will be regenerated.<br />
<br />
We're playing this game in 15mm using Osprey's "Black Ops" ruleset. The good guys are from Khurasan, the hostage is from Rebel Minis, and the bad guys are from Flytrap Factory. The mat is from War Sigil Mats, the buildings and fruit stands are Crescent Root Studios, the roads are Fat Frank, the walls and fountain are JR Miniatures (now Novus Studios?), the trees are La Petite Armee, and the rock escarpments are from someone on Ebay (sorry, I don't recall who).<br />
<br />
I'm playing this out with my two boys; they control the Cuban SOF, while I'm sort of umpiring and controlling the bad guys, which are really programmed opponents until things 'go loud.' The way the rules work is that the SOF dudes are sneaking around and you roll to see what the bad guy sentries are doing, until the SOF dudes get discovered (make too much noise, get seen, then the alarm gets raised), at which point it turns into a 'regular' shooty-type wargame.<br />

Immediately the SOF spot a nearby sentry armed with an AK. Bravo 01 orders Bravo 08 to take him out, so Bravo 08 creeps forward, stalking the terrorist sentry in the dark, night vision goggles in place.<br />

The enemy sentry in the northwest heard the firing, but doesn't go straight towards it, apparently thrown off in the dark. Instead, he advances straight up the road, stepping off next to a black sedan (center bottom), where he spots a friend coming from further south (center, the sentry that was next to the fountain at top center). "Ahmed, was that you? What was that?" <br />
<br />
"I don't know, Habbibi. You should check it out."<br />
<br />
"No, <i>you</i> check it out, Ahmed, I have more terrorist seniority!"<br />

Ugh, I missed some photos, but we've had a very interesting development. My older boy had pushed the Security Element up behind the building at top center left; I asked him what he planned on doing, and he said he didn't really know. I reminded him that the Security Element's job was to keep bad guys off the Assault Element so they could get onto the objective and rescue the hostage, then keep the way clear for the Assault Element to exfil off the objective. So he moved his Security Element back into the center; you can see Bravo 02 and Bravo 05 hiding behind the fruit stand at bottom right, waiting for the sentry at far left to come strolling up the street, where they plan to quietly take him in hand to hand, but just then an enemy patrol of four men arrives nearby (top center), right where the Security Element had been!<br />

Fortunately for the Security Element (bottom right), the enemy patrol pushes south (top left, from top right), towards the Objective Building. Which is unfortunate for the Assault Element (off camera to bottom left), which has to get into the Objective Building and rescue the hostage. The Security Element is in a real pickle now, if they are looking to do their job...<br />

Back on the left, Bravo 01 and 03 are just kinda hanging out (bottom center) as Bravo 08 pushes ahead (bottom left) and takes a shot at the sentry at the wall (top left), the one the enemy commander was talking to, but the rounds slam harmlessly into the stone wall.<br />

Bravo 08 (top left) continues scanning for targets as Bravo 01 mutters a curse under his breath; "we're too loud too soon, gotta do something or they're gonna whack the hostage. Let's go!"

Where he promptly pulls his pistol, levels it at the hostage, and fires! Luckily for the Cubans, it would turn out to be just a flesh wound, a through and through!<br />
<br />
*If you're thinking I cheated for the Cubans, I sort of did, in that we rolled to see the extent of the hostage's wound, rather than just immediately counting him as dead. Having said that, I cheated for the bad guys, who, according to the rules, are not allowed to target the hostage until the good guys have taken possession of him. I just did this to add a sense of urgency for the boys.<br />

The flashbang goes off, stunning all three occupants of the Objective Building.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As Bravo 07 (bottom left) is firing on the enemy heavy weapons team (top right), the enemy flanking unit at top center...<br />

The firefight in the street gets ugly as the enemy's right-hand flanking team jumps in...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And their left-hand flanking team moves up (bottom center). The still night is ripped by the sound of gunfire, the street looks like a thunderstorm from the intermittent muzzle flashes, and the air is alive with the rush of hundreds of rounds zipping and snapping past each other...<br />

The poor boys are in such a bind: when the hostage was shot (in the Objective Building, just off camera to bottom right), the Security Element sent the Doc, Bravo 06, that way. But then Bravo 05 and Bravo 04 went down in a matter of seconds, so now they make the decision to bring the Doc back; Bravo 06 sprints back towards the street fight (far left, between tree and white sedan, with Bravo 02 and Bravo 07 above him, from the fruit stand at bottom right).<br />

Moments later they emerge from the Objective Building with the hostage. Bravo 08 looks over, sees blood on the hostage's shirt; "he okay?" "Yeah, he took a through-and through in the tricep."<br />
<br />
"Havoc Base, Havoc Base, this is Bravo 01. Bravo 01 is 'Broncos,' say again, Bravo 01 is 'Broncos.' Bravo 02, we're coming down."<br />
<br />
Havoc Base: "Roger, Bravo 01."<br />
<br />
Sparrow: "Roger, Bravo 01, enroute, ETA five mikes."<br />
<br />
Bravo 02: "Roger Bravo 01, on the way, but we've got some problems. We got two 'Peanuts, say again, two 'Peanuts,' over."<br />
<br />
Bravo 01: "Dammit. Roger, hurry up."<br />
<br />
*The "Broncos" call is from an Execution Checklist, a list of pro-words used to minimize radio communications, which mean specific, pre-arranged items that need to be communicated. For example, when the Direct Action Team came ashore they would have given a pro-word to let HQ know they'd reached their infil point with all team members. We'll call that "Chargers." As soon as they were troops in contact they would have had another one, call that "Packers." They called out "Broncos" for securing the hostage, would have had another call if they didn't, like "Cowboys" (since they're losers), or "Jaguars" if the hostage was killed. 'Peanuts' is wounded men.<br />

Then moves up to check the area (bottom right) as Bravo 07 grabs the wounded Bravo 05 and starts making his way towards the extraction point (far left, with Bravo 06 at center).<br />

Things are getting hot for Bravo 08 (top center), and as Bravo 01 and Bravo 03 escort the hostage downhill, suddenly a city bus comes roaring up and then screeches to a halt!<br />

Once everyone is loaded, Victoria slams the door shut, throws the bus into gear, and begins hauling ass down the street (far left bottom, from far right bottom) as the bad guy reinforcements (top left) close in!<br />

The bus screeches to a halt and everyone dismounts as quickly as humanly possible. "Havoc Base, Havoc Base, this is Bravo 01, we are Seahawks, say again, we are Seahawks."<br />

And with that, Bravo 01 bid Victoria adieu as the commandos took to the sea to make good their getaway with a 500m swim to a waiting speedboat.<br />

And make good on her own escape!<br />
<br />
Well, how 'bout that? That was a lot of fun! And the boys had a great time, too! All in all a very successful mission, with the commandos securing the Cuban businessman, a little worse for wear, and returning him to Havana. They took two casualties, but no KIA, just two wounded, and they'll be back after surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation. The older boy was a little upset about both casualties coming on his watch, but I reminded him that you can't control everything, and that his guys did their job, which was to keep the bad guys off the Assault Element so they could go in an rescue the hostage, which they did. I did talk to him about not adding to a bad situation; once things went pear-shaped in the street, he shouldn't have kept adding more men to the melee, he should have either assaulted through it or fell back and handled it with fire. I'd have preferred the latter; I let him know it wasn't his fault, the bad guy patrol and then the reinforcements couldn't have come in at a worse time and location for his guys, but sometimes it's just like that, Murphy reaches up and just gives you a good boot to the groin. The key is not making it worse; falling back to cover as soon as the enemy patrol got into it (before the reinforcements arrived) would likely have seen the enemy patrol and reinforcements defeated without any friendly casualties.<br />
<br />
I was proud of the boys, it was a lot of fun, and there was some great talks and good decision making. The only problem was all, combined with playing a new set of rules and having to look stuff up, came with a steep cost in time: we were up there for almost four hours, and if there were any problems, it was sometimes trying to keep the boys attention focused. There's a lot of cool stuff to see and play with in Daddy's room ;)<br />
<br />
What did I think of the rules... Overall, I really liked them. I thought they gave a really fun, intense game, and I really like the stealthy bit of it, rather than just running in and shooting everything up. The down side of it is that all that sneaking around takes a lot of time I think, even if you're on top of the rules. There are plenty of times where you have to wait or go slow in order to make sure you don't get spotted/don't get the alarm sounded on you. Having said that, gunshots don't seem draw as much attention as I think maybe they should, and you can actually do quite a bit of shooting without necessarily waking up the enemy boss/getting the alarm raised. And I gave the bad guys more forces than the rules called for, because I didn't want the boys thinking they could just sit there and shoot their way out of it; they weren't going to kill all the bad guys and then just calmly stroll to the extraction point. Having said that, I did cheat, twice: regarding extraction, they should have had to walk all the way back to the extraction point, but we'd been up there so long that we really needed to end the game, so I quickly dreamt up the Victoria bus ride to get them out of there. The other cheat: right at the beginning of the game, when the SOF were still on the beach, the bad guy RPG gunner on top of the Objective Building had LOS to one of the commandos and had a one in a million chance of seeing him, so I asked the older boy to roll for me and... he rolled a '1,' which, no matter the odds, is always a failure, so the Cuban should have been exposed. But I just cursed under my breath, rationalized that there was no way the RPG gunner could see a dude dressed in black, in the dark, about 300 yards away, and told the boy to roll again. He passed ;)<br />
<br />
So that was a lot of fun, and we'll be playing again next weekend.<br />
