First Battle - Playtest Part I


We had our first playtest last night running through the rules for TWT and Rock the Casbah. Results were mixed. A platoon of M113s and a Magach (that looks a lot like a Shot) advanced through the outskirts of Tyre. A group of PLO militia were set up to block them from the buildings along the road.

No sign of any militia.


A quiet town in the south of Lebanon.


A not so quiet town. IDF advancing through the town.

The IDF had no trouble moving their column through the town. Up until this point the PLO's RPGs were just spit-balls against the TOGA armour of the M113 and the Magach. One one of 12 RPGs hit and that only wounded a couple men on a M113. The IDF was able to kill two PLO members, one of which had an RPG.
Than things went wrong...
