Am putting together scenarios of the FFL's intervention on the mining town of Kowleski. Playtested the first one; Hotel Impala. These will be both straight up scenarios or you will have the option to still roll up your opponent with some historical caveats. Found here: platoonforward.blogspot.com Enjoy Joe

Remember when the 2REP ..landed in Kolwezi..they told Mobuto ..any armed person in the street would be shot ..and to keep his soldiers in their barracks.Look forward to reading your blog.

Awesome Joe! I love that hotel, pretty cool. Did you roll during the game to see if there were hostages present, or was the decision made prior to start there would actually be no hostages on the table? Good stuff, looking forward to the battle for the bridge. V/R, Jack

Thank you both. It was fun to concoct and then play the scenario. It was also fun to come up with a dozen reasons people would join the FFL! Jack, can't give the whole article away but yes, you roll to see what is present in the two buildings and where your fireteams start. The third scenario is a hostage rescue straight up. Thanks again Joe
