FORCE ON FORCE: Bush war!

 

 

Guten Morgan!



 

 Ran my first Bush wars scenario I created myself last night. Went fairly well I think but i definetly handicapped the SADF who were hard pressed to make it off the table. Terrain set up will need to be modified as well as we got bogged down by the river.

 

In the end FAPLA won the day as they prevented the SADF from existing the table with any of the 4 squads.

 

Cheers

the initial SADF set up

 

 Running troops out into the open in front of 4 enemy positions is never smart. This was the turning point and it really bogged us down. My fault.

 

With heavy causalities in the squad left in the open we reinforced the covered position. 

 

 We still ad 3 foot of table to run down by turn 4

Unlucky for us FAPLA called in a T62 for support ....

 

 

 Unlucky for FAPLA we called in the whirlybird. The crack door gunner put a round through the deck immobilising FAPLAs toy.

 

We called it game here at turn 6. We no longer had the initiative and no way could run the 3 ft up the board. 

Force on Force: Vietnam

 

Greetings,

Had my Tuesday night game last night. Was an absolute blast, we visited FOF Vietnam.

Cracker of a game. We played 3 on 1, so 3 of us controlled 2 fire teams with 1 person playing the VC. Despite all the trash talking and shouts of "Mi caca dau" the game played very quickly, 8 turns in 3 hrs. Anzacs took a win in the end but realistically we were just getting our heads round the rules and familiarizing 2 new players with the system.

Sorry no flash AAR but just some happy snaps throughout the game.

 

 

Cheers

Matt

 

 

Sweep and Clear - Scenario

Scenario Information

Duration of Game: 8 Turns
Initiative: Asymmetric – ANZACS have Initiative for the duration of the game
Fog of War: Determined normally by Reaction Test rolls
Table Size: 6’x4’

ANZAC MISSION OBJECTIVE
Take control of the village, and prevent any possible escape or reinforcements via the exit tracks.

ANZAC VICTORY CONDITIONS
Each VC Unit broken or destroyed +1
Each VC Leader killed or captured +1
Village under control +15
Both Trail Exits under control +15

ANZAC FORCES

Confidence Level: Confident
Supply Level: Abundant
Troop Quality/Morale: D8/D8

 

HQ

3 x Rifle Squads

Off table medium mortars available from turn after an ANZAC unit is involved in a fire fight.

Huey ‘Slick’ Support Available from Turn 5 Onwards.

Pylon Attack Med. Support (AP: 4/AT:0) Armour 3D8

Napalm Bombing run available from Turn 8.

 

 

Napalm

Napalm strikes were devastating and fearsome. Napalm canisters could be dropped by fast burners or ground support aircraft to virtually purge an area of all life and deny that area to the enemy until the resulting fires abated. The canisters tumbled as they struck, bounding across the countryside to spread a long swath of flaming fuel.

While most Napalm strikes would cover the average sized playing area, smaller bombs and hits from the edge of a napalm blast can be represented on the table. Once a player has nominated a target unit and made rolls to contact the delivery aircraft, the attacking player rolls a 8D10 Firepower attack against the target unit. The defending unit may not count any Defense dice other than its model total. Cover and armor are ignored. All units, friend or foe, within 10" of the target unit are also hit by an 6D10 attack.

Additionally, all areas of jungle, woods, elephant grass, or manmade structures (other than brick or concrete buildings) within 10" of the target unit are ignited. Any units in burning terrain must immediately move evacuate in a direction away from the enemy. Any units that have all their models wounded in an ignited area are considered KIA and are removed from terrain.

All terrain features hit by napalm become impassable for two turns following the attack. Buildings burn for a single turn before collapsing and are removed from the tabletop.

All NVA/VC units actually struck by the napalm attack are automatically Pinned. All units other units in the force must make a morale check or suffer a Pinned result as well.

Each napalm strike uses two napalm canisters/bombs. Once all of its napalm canisters have been expended, an aircraft may make no further napalm strikes.

Beautiful terrain.

 Anzac Patrol advances through the jungle.

 Must have a refreshing beverage.

 Anzac patrol advances through elephant grass with the sneaking VBC deploying booby traps and wounding 2 diggers.

 Another patrol loses a man to a toe biter booby trap, diggers best be getting there head in the game now!

 "CONTACT!" Aussie patrol spots VC ahead.

 The well trained and equipped Aussies make short work of there foe!

 A risky gamble dashing through the open!

 Diggers pushing around the flank, an objective in sight!

 VC reinforce through a spider hole.

 The right flank is starting a big push!

 The push is very successful aussies bag a objective.

 Left flanks turn to bring the pain!

 The bossman failing to bring in his arty :(  (we forgot the aussie reroll rule)

 None the less I make quick work of the flank next turn

 To top it all off I napalm my own troops

Force on Force Beginnings.

Greetings All
Had my first FOF game today, loved it. In the beginning the clunky setup of the rulebook put me of but a mate who had taken his time to decode the enigma coaxed me back.

Today we played the first scenario from the main rulebook and the first south african scenario in the bush war book.

I won the first game but those sneaky swapo got me in objectives for the second.
Really had an absolute blast, playing some FOF Vietnam on Tuesday doing a 3 way co-op game. Super keen and will take some pics.

Now this is how you play wargames! Pub+Schooners+lazyboys=All gravy

The world is ablaze!

Tally Ho!

I endeavoured today to get some more painting done today. This time on the BTR-152 from Peter Pig and Khurasan's new T-62. Just a quick spiel on the 62, Wow this thing is stunning. No flaws and super quick to assemble, ill most definitely be grabbing a lot more of hid moderns as there released.
Also sprayed my King kitty. Im happy with the results, the Filter will tone it all down and tie the layers together.

A massive bush fire made me retreat inside as its raining ash now.
