I will follow this with interest as I love rules comparisons. Would have though that the off table SF HMG would have a beaten zone rather than point target.No UGL firing rules - just treated as grenades (no grenade range either - strong arms!).Shock good - like the way it disappears after a test.Simple use of radio to communicate and call-in good,.
Given that (because?) the rules are just two sides of A4 they played well and quickly, gave generally good results and overall I was pretty impressed and would certainly play them again. The dead cameraman wasn't going to go down well on the evening news, but the Brits had no other permanent losses and 4 insurgents killed. The Brits managed to clear the rest of the casualties, the insurgents now had 4 dead and two running away, so ENDEX was declared. Then the OC called in off-table support and managed to get the Sniper and HMG in the same go, the former taking out the second of the building pair, the latter taking out one of the insurgents that was boldly trying to move through the scrub towards the mosque. Fire from the other building was ineffective but the OC and his No 2 took one of the pair out. With RPG loader finally killed the Section Commander pulled everyone back to the casualties and men started sprinting back to the bridge carrying their wounded comrades.
One of the UGL guys kept pumping smoke to try and protect the open flank whilst the casevac got underway but one insurgent team moved S along the field edge out of the smoke and inflicted two more serious casualties. The smoke cleared quickly, but by then the Section Commander had got on top of the building SE of the T Junction and took out the RPG man.Īs the team prepared to extract the casualties the insurgents opened up form the next building E and from the field edge further E. The death, wound and shock carnage after the first RPG!

The RPG missed the trooper on the road but hit just by the right hand wall corner where the TV crew were sheltering - not a direct hit but the blast was enough to kill the camera man and severely wound two of the soldiers. Despite intense fire from the Brits an RPG tore into the road before the smoke could be put up. That team then turned out to be the RPG one. How it Played The Brits didn't make it as far as the T junction before they spotted insurgents on the roof NE of the T junction.

Seem well laid out, although some detail in the small print (e.g. Nicely presented double sided A4, laminated, and that's the whole rules.
