Special Ops - Force on Force.

History has a habit of repeating its self, just as we dust off Force on Force for a game of special forces vs a drug baron in a scenario similar to that in Clear and Present Danger. President Trump signs an Exec Order marking certain cartels terrorist organisations.

We picked from the Classified Scenario Book - US Special Ops operating in the Columbian highlands destroying the drug operations and drug manufacturing plants. The Columbians had hired a company of mercenaries to neutralise the Americans. With no more than a dozen Americans rolling back to their exfiltration point they had dug in and were tasked with aggressively defending at the same time.

Limited photo's I am afraid...

The mercenaries were advancing on the main front but also a flanking force which was quickly put under fire by the CO and his radio operator.

The mercenaries were taking a lot of casualties from the very effective American fire power. It turns out poorly trained troops in the open get chewed pretty quickly.

Like all good action movies, things were going fine into the yanks needed to head to the X fill, getting out of the fox holes exposed the fire teams to a number of rounds of concentrated fire which injured a number of the war fighters.

Whilst they were able to escape they left two KIA behind for the mercenaries to take back to there Columbian masters. That could be a problem.

The mercenaries must have taken 30 dead and seriously wounded out of their 40 man force, which found about right given the task they were given.

It was nice to give Force on Force a roll out, the books are a little hard to come by these days and you do pay quite a price for them, but the rules play well and force you to adopt the right tactics if you are to win.

Right back to the brushes.
