"Joint Security Station (JSS) Alamo, Iraq, 2007" Topic

Iraq, 2007
As US and Iraqi Security Forces begin the 'Surge' and push off of large bases into numerous mutually supporting and smaller Combat Outposts (COPs) and Joint Security Stations (JSSs), insurgents aren't willingly ceding control. US troops often referred to their outposts as 'the Alamo' because of their isolation from other units, and at least one outpost was officially named JSS Alamo.

In this scenario, US Army soldiers and Iraqi Police (IPs) at a new JSS established in an old schoolhouse have been reduced to a skeleton crew as the bulk of the platoon reinforces another post under attack. The other attack, however, was just a diversion. Insurgents moved unnoticed to buildings around JSS Alamo, and launched a surprise attack commencing with a suicide vest detonating at the compound's front gate. Three troopers are down – two US and one Iraqi – at the site of the suicide attack, and less than a squad of US troops, backed only by demoralized Iraqi recruits, can rush into the exposed courtyard to save them. Surrounded and outnumbered, and with casualties mounting, can the defenders hold out long enough for reinforcements to arrive?

Looks like fun.

Brill, thanks for sharing. The rebalance ideas will make the next game a challenge for both sides.
