In getting ready for my first Platoons Forward campaign I used the rules and modified them slightly to fit a Lebanese militia faction. From my rolls I think we come from a religious organization.
The road looking towards the village.
My concern is that in the past my PLO can win a game but normally there are few troops left standing.
As we are guarding the southern approaches to the town we have acquired an old truck that will enable us to move half of the unit at a time.

Roadblock on one of the two roads.
Number of squads was determined by an averaging die as the PLO and militias really did not follow any formal TOE/OB.

This looks great with brilliant terrain! Really looking forward to seeing how the action unfolds and how the rules set pans out.

You should post this on the Platoon forward Stories Blog. This should prove to be great fun. It will be interesting to see how well the militia fares as all of my experiences with modern militia troops are that they take lots of casualties in these games.
ReplyDeleteI have the same experience Chris. My best game was one were my bigman lost every one of his men, but himself.
