"Royal Marines in Afghanistan, Fight #6 " Topic

All,

It's now 20 June 2002, seventeen days since the last fight, and Royal Marines are in Kabul. They escorted Pasha Gul safely to the Loya Jirga, and maintained security for it (as part of ISAF) until its close on 19 June 2002. But with their protection mission completed the Section is looking to visit the merchant recommended them by Pasha Gul, the man that can tell them who ambushed them and their location.

The outskirts of Kabul, north is up. A built up area with a canal running north-south down its center, the Marines will enter from the east (right), looking to reach the Merchant's home and place of business, the large compound at far left. You can also see the forces at right, ten Marines and ten Taliban.

More to come, though first up will be the second Panzer Aces fight from the tank platoon embroiled in Operation Barbarossa.

That'll learn'em to mess with the Royal Marines

Nice AAR

Whev, a few lucky scrapes there.

Thanks guys, and yes, the RMs did good, but largely because of some great casualty dice rolls!

And it's funny: every time I set up a board with more cover, thinking there will be more maneuver and less 'sit tight and fire,' I end up with a boatload of troops on the table, and it's just a massive firefight.

But still a good time ;)

V/R,
Jack
