"Operation Dragon Forge, Fight #9 " Topic

All,

AKA, Unit 101's 9th Fight of Operation Payback

It's 1205 on 14 Jul 1990, and Unit 101 is on the verge of capturing The Persian, the goal of Operation Dragon Forge. The Persian's capture will yield information on which country(ies) and individual(s) was responsible for the ambush of a Cuban diplomat in Morocco.

After fighting to collect information through Morocco, Italy, and Lebanon, the Unit has arrived in Malaysia. Working with Captain Choy of Malaysian Special Forces, the Unit has punched into and secured The Persian's compound in a series of intense firefights. With the compound secured, Major Villanueva is leading a team of five shooters to The Persian's house to capture him. Separated from him during the battle, a team of The Persian's most loyal soldiers, his personal bodyguards, have simultaneously arrived at the house. The opposing forces are making a mad dash to grab The Persian and whisk him away, one for questioning, one to safety.

Overview of map, north is down. Major Villanueva and his team are at left, The Persian's bodyguard at right, and The Persian is in the building at center right. Note the two casualty figures at bottom center; those are the mortar crew that was knocked out by the OH-6 gunship at the end of the last fight.

The 'table' is maybe 15" x 15", and this is going to be a quick and bloody affair. Both sides are killing each other while moving forward to get The Persian. I planned on being a bit more nuanced, a bit more in depth, but I'd been playing all day and I was tired, my back hurt, and my wife was complaining (I played Dragon Forge games 7, 8, and 9 all in a row). So this is going to be real quick, not even sure if I can really say there are rules ;)

I've got a deck of cards, two colors, one card per man. Each time a card is pulled, one man on that team gets to move up and fire, or rally. Everyone will keep moving until the other side is dead and/or The Persian is grabbed. The Cubans will get slightly better firing dice as they are top tier commandos.

A fierce firefight rages in the courtyard. To see if the Cuban Special Forces were able to capture The Persian or not, please check the blog at:

Either way, information has become available which makes it possible to determine the individuals behind the attack on The Ambassador, and Cubans are planning to move out in search of retribution.

Which is the next set of fights, coming right up.

Just caught up with 8 and 9. These are memorable. "To hell with the persian, I never liked him that much anyway." That got me rolling. You can definitely spin a tail and a half Jack. Tell your wife you are providing entertainment for the masses and she will understand, lol. I really appreciate your continuing efforts. I also want to know where the Persian's limo came from, I may have a use for something similar.

Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words and the support. I'll show this to the wife, but I don't know that it will seem all that impressive to her ;)

The sedan is from Peter Pig, got it from Brookhurst Hobbies for about four bucks.

I started the next set of fights this past weekend, Operation Rush Delivery, which, like Operation Dragon Forge, is under the overall header of Operation Payback. I've been working on the batreps, will have the first one out tomorrow or Thursday.
