All, It's been several days since crossing the frontier, and TF Trojas is looking for action. It's 1500 on 8 April 1990, and Team 6-4 has been briefed, geared up, and conducted its movement to the objective area. Lt Trojas was informed by local agents that the leader of a local cell of the Cronistrian People's Army (CPA, the local Communist Militia supporting General Ambroz Zlatan's communist takeover of Cronistria) scheduled a meeting in a farmhouse in the nearby village of Perzezl. Trojas immediately put Team 6-4 on the task of proceeding to the meeting location and eliminating the CPA cell. Sergeant First Class "Rooey" Contreras was only too happy; he and his boys were itching for action, and Willow (KIA from Team 6-3) was a friend of his.
The fight is bloody, and we have close combat! At left is a downed Cuban and a downed bad guy. To see how the fight went, please check the blog at: linkThe fight was fantastic, a crazy back and forth that saw the Cubans… Well, you'll have to check the blog ;) In any case, that's all the fights so far. This week I've been painting up some 15mm vehicles and terrain, and this weekend I have a rather ambitious agenda of getting in one fight in South Leon (15mm), and two more fights here in Cronistria (20mm).

Nice blog and AAR. Love the Dramatis Personae!! What rules are you using? |

MWright, Thank you so much, I was wondering if anyone had decided to take a look. Comments are always much appreciated. Regarding the personalities, for me wargaming is all about the story, so I love interconnected campaigns where I'm following a set of characters. It really brings the games to life. Regarding rules, I'm using Ivan Sorensen's (AKA, "Nordic Weasel" here on TMP) "Five Men in Normandy." They're quick, easy mechanics, and throw a little friction in, so right up my alley. I set up, played a game, took it down, set it up again, and played another game in three hours. I plan on doing that again this weekend, so stay tuned, more batreps to come! V/R, Jack |

John, I know, I wasn't talking to you ;) Presumably there are a couple other folks that read these batreps; I'm trying to spur on conversation. More games coming up! V/R, Jack |

Cuba shmuba, those are US Special Forces posing as Cubans! I don't buy it for a moment. C'mon Jack, it's time to fess up. These are gringo-jingos and we all know it. The Canadian Enquirer. |

Kyote -Hippy sissy ;) Javier – thanks man, and do it! I see you painting lots of stuff, still looking for more 5Core Company Command batreps! Doubting/Conspiracy Rod – Cubans, nothing more to say. You just can't stand real freedom fighters ;) V/R, Jack |

"Got in a Demo Team Yankee game yesterday…" Excellent, please post your pics here. On a forum ;) "My commies are still winning……" Disgusting! Cool man, glad to hear you got some games in. I suppose I'll have to log into Facebook and take a gander? V/R, Jack |
