Afghantsy

Last weekend was our club Open Day and I put on a 28mm game from the Soviet Afghan War using the Force on Force rules.

The scenario was a sweep and clear operation by Soviet forces designed to flush out an eliminate Mujahideen fighters who had been attacking the Soviet's supply convoys.  The Soviets had a motorised infantry platoon in three BTR-70s and the Afghans had three small teams on board with variable reinforcements arriving during the game.

We played the game twice with the players swapping sides and then determining the overall winner based on the total points from both games.

Here are some photos:

Combat Patrol in the Pacific

On a recent visit to my friend Lenin’s I got a chance to play Combat Patrol for the first time using his Pacific figures collection.

I took the part of the Japanese forces defending an island against a US Marine amphibious landing.

The rules have a little learning curve getting used to the multi-purpose cards but the game was fun and I would like to give it another go.

Here are a couple of photos of the game:
