Ultracombat Normandy AAR - The defence of Arnhem</h2>
<br />
So recently the gang got together to play Ultracombat Normandy, as there are three of us we diced on a bigger game and as the terrain had been left up from a previous gangster game we thought it would make an ideal city battle. When we thought about we figure the most renowned was the defence of Arnhem so straight away Ray took the role of Lt. Col. Frost and the British Para. Michael and I each took a platoon of Germans. So the British forces had a platoon of Veteran Paratroopers and the Germans had two platoons of Average troops. The Germans also had two half-tracks.<br />

On the right-hand side, the German forces come under withering fire from a British Bren gun team hidden in the pavilion like building at the top of the image. The problem the Germans had was they were still bringing forces on to the board so had to wait for reinforcements. However, they were not without decent firepower and the righthand squad MG42 did manage to keep the Bren head down.</div>

Here the British ambush came into its own. For about an hour we had been fighting down the main street and the only British shooting at us had been at the end of the board, with finally enough troops we head down the road at breakneck speed (3AP=18") to the barricade. But Lt. Col. Frost (Ray) had other ideas first he attacked us from building on the left and just as we had neutralised that by our MG42 in the rear, he hit us from the third floor on the right. It was very bloody.</div>

Meanwhile, on the right-hand side of the board, the Germans amassed forces for a big push on the pavilion. With much firing and eventually knocking out the Bren team, the German forces rushed the pavilion. The British responded by bringing in reinforcements from across the road. This, in my opinion, was where Frost (Ray) made his big mistake. He should have given the pavilion away and stayed in cover in the buildings across the street.</div>

With the British forces now giving ground both left and right sides of the board, Frost masses his men to attack the encroaching German forces. But it was not to be the Germans having knocked out the Vickers the British lack of numbers began to tell as the larger German forces brought its guns to bear.</div>

Conclusion</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, we always knew that the German would win but it was how long could the Brits hold out and boy did they hold out. The British plan went swimmingly with the German casualties in the first part of the game being frightening but eventually, the weight of number tell and once enough German units were on the board the MG42s went to work suppressing elements who would later be routed out by Rifleman. This was an exciting game and a much larger game than any of us were used too and took just over 3 hours to play.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lessons were learnt from both sides about the terrain. While it was a technical victory for the Germans, the victory was that the British delaying tactics worked buying precious time for Frost and his forces on the bridge. It was a great game and I would highly recommend playing these larger games with your friends once you have mastered the basics of the game.</div>

Ok so I am humming bad Boney M classics but that does lead me nicely to more renders of our up and coming Russian range. This is part of a Kickstarter we are planning for both ultra-modern USA and Russian troops and vehicles. These are all work in progress as you can see us swapping guns and things. We don't have a date yet but we promise to keep people in the loop.</div>

Skirmish Normandy Element Cards</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the first look at the game cards, these are used to make play extremely fast. You can create a squad in as a little as 4 cards. I really like the black and white look but will probably play with colour before they are finalised.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The system is 1d20 so you can get an idea of the scores. The icons from left to rights are Spot, Firearms, Melee and finally Save.</div>

The Skirmish Sangin Kiwi team made the journey to Canberra Australia for what is Australia's biggest wargames convention. This year it was on the 26th-28th January. As it was a game in a suitcase (actually a couple) we couldn't take the really detailed scenery but as you can see from below we managed our interpretation of the Plausible Deniability mission in the recently released Skirmish Sangin Spec Ops books Plausible Deniability.</div>

Throughout the three days we played the game so many times I am still having nightmares about it :-) However our Aussie mates really took to it and we managed to sell out of the core Sangin rulebook, and Plausible Deniability.</div>

Of course, there was much more than just us their with much gaming and many stores. Some of the terrain made me weep with envy particularly the WW2 tables that were set up. I would love to run our forthcoming WW2 game on this terrain.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Unfortunately demoing and managing the store meant we didn't get to see or participate in the Con as much as we would have liked. It was still great to meet old friends (Spyros, Jerry) from last year and make new ones this year.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I would heartily recommend CANCON to anyone in the southern hemisphere the atmosphere is brilliant and very welcoming. The "diggers" sure know how to put on a Con. Also, Canberra is a great place for a visit it's just a 3-hour drive from Sydney. See you all next year. Oh and BTW we will be doing MOAB for the first in Sydney in October.</span></div>

<h2>
ARNHEM</h2>
<b>BACKGROUND</b><br />
<b><br /></b> As I am sure we have all seen a <b>Bridge to Far</b> and if we are interested in World War 2 then we all know enough about the battle of Arnhem for me not to go into detail. If you are unsure this is a <a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Battle_of_Arnhem" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">great article</a> on Wikipedia that will fill in the blanks.<br />
<br />
Our game begins with our advancing British Paratrooper attempting to advance to the town of Arnhem. Two Jeeps and a 10 man section led the initial advance.<br />
<br />
They were part a troop of Reconnaissance jeeps from the 1st Airborne Reconnaissance Squadron. Unfortunately one developed engine trouble (we rolled the lowest initiative 11) so the other pushed on regardless. The Germans, seeing the mass landing, quickly organised a reconnaissance unit of their own in the shape of1 Schwimmwagen and 2 Hanomag Halftracks. 14 men in total.<br />
<br />
The concept behind the game is this is a meeting engagement, as both sides rush to complete their mission. The British needed not to be held up and exit off the far side of the table. The Germans needed to hold the British to enable reinforcements to be organised.<br />
<br />
The British moved first with one of their Jeeps hounding up the road a full move (24"). They also have a Bren team race uptake position overlooking the road. The Germans push their Schwimmwagen forward followed by one of their Hanomags.<br />
<br />
The Schwimmwagen rounds the corner, seeing the closing jeep it dives into cover to try and bring its MG42 to bear. Unfortunately not quick enough and the paired Lewis guns on the jeep rip apart the Schwimmwagen killing all of its crew.<br />
<br />
The Hanomag rounds the corner next and opens up on the jeep, but misses the jeep. Unfortunately, for the half-track they also haven't seen the Bren team. This team brews up the Hanomag immobilising it and forcing the men in the rear to run to the building for cover.<br />

The second halftrack quickly suppresses the 2nd jeep. Suppression is just one of the new elements we are adding into this rule set.</div>

A carefully placed German grenade takes out the first jeep, things are not looking good for the allies. The fighting then became so intense I forgot to take photographs so the end of the battle was not visually recorded. Eventually the allies managed to drive off the second half track but really could make headway against the Germans in the village. The fighting got intense and street by street the battle raged but by the time we had called it the Germans still held half the village and had thus won because they held up the allies advance.<br />
<br />
<br />
A narrow victory but at this stage in the war they will take any victory they can get. The games was a very intense battle and was enjoy immensely by all the players.<br />

Well, this is a work in progress, there will be changes I am sure but I was so excited at seeing this chap that I just had to post up the images up here. Our first ultra-modern Russian (28mm). I think he is quite special. We have several more on the way.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Helmand, in the south-west of Afghanistan and roughly 500 hazardous kilometres from the capital, Kabul, shares a southern border with the unruly tribal region of north-west Pakistan. The province consists largely of furnace-like flatlands, bisected by the Helmand River, which is flanked either side by lush vegetation known as the ‘Green Zone’. The Green Zone is an area of densely irrigated land, supporting almost 90 per cent of the local population. Depending on the season, crops of poppy, marijuana and maize reduce visibility to 10 metres and sometimes less. The fertility of the Green Zone makes Helmand Afghanistan’s largest producer of opium.</span></i></div>

<h2>
Conclusion</h2>
So ISAF carried the day, the Taliban had been too static for two long and once the British and French had spotted them the combined arms made short work of the opposition. Although a beleaguered Taliban did hold out for way longer than expected given how few command APs they had.<br />

Learnings</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well every time we play this game we learn just a little more. This time the command points were definitely an issue and we have already sorted a fix out for that. The fire teams worked well and the ability to go to ground for troops worked really well. The British and French players using real tactics made the Taliban pay big time. The system handles the number of troops easily and its exciting seeing the game scaling up in size.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the play test in Cold Wars (USA), that were using an earlier version of these rules we got these really great comments:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>"I had the good fortune of playing a test version of the rules at the Cold Wars Con on Lancaster, PA, USA last weekend, and had a blast. A platoon of British regulars sweeping through an Afghan village ran into 4 squads + HMG of Taliban. We played in 20mm and the rules were streamlined - no armor or air, no off-board assets - and it was great fun. To my mind, it struck the right balance between simulation and playability. Really looking forward to the full-blown rules set."</i></div>

So as part of the ongoing development of Platoon+ we have started playtesting the rules and I have to say we are liking what we are seeing and can't wait to begin to share it with you.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As with all rulesets, no rules are born perfect and we are tweaking the variables to maintain accuracy and to obtain maximum playability.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There are still a lot of the mechanics you know and love from Sangin but now players get to play one or two platoons on their own. That's 60+ miniatures so as you can see this is a significant step up.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As always one of the ways we do a test is to play the rules in a different period to see if they still work and as part of this we have recently been playing a series of WW2 games using the rules.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
See a typical platoon sheet below:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There were Four platoons involved, 2 US and 2 German and the game was a meeting engagement with both sides needing to take the village.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I would like to show you the new turn sequence and how command and control works in the game</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The new turn sequence Looks like this:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<h3>
Turn sequence</h3>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>The Command Phase</b><br />
Player rolls command dice and allocates dice to each section in his platoon.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>The Morale phase</b><br />
Any morale tests are resolved.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>The Activation Phase</b><br />
The squad with the highest activation now activates (if there is tie both groups roll 1d6 with the highest going first).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>The Combat Phase</b><br />
The squad can them spend APs to do the following in any order:<br />
Move, Resolve Fire weapons, Resolve Melee combat</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In this blog post we are going to introduce you to the new command dice and discuss why we have added this element to the game.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
At platoon level the game is no longer about the efforts of an individual man or even an individual squad, it's about how best to field your Platoon elements and to do that we need to show how the command and control elements work.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In most games your Platoon HQ (Command Group) is little more than a collection of miniatures that hang around at the back and have little to no influence on the game.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Platoon+ this is very different. In platoon+ squads only have 1AP to use per combat phase and their additional APs come from the way the Command Group hand out the command dice.</div>
<div class="p2">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<h3>
<b>Command Dice</b></h3>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
All Command dice are 1d6 and are allocated at the beginning of the combat round. The players roll the 1d6 and the number of points allocated are additional APs that squad can use throughout the combat round. When a squad runs out of command AP they still have 1AP per active combat phase, these cannot be saved and must be spent in their combat phase or be lost.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
An average platoon has 3 or 4 command dice and these are rolled and allocated at the start of the combat round. Only one dice can be allocated to one squad and not every unit will get a dice.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>EXAMPLE</b></div>
<div class="p1">
Joshua has an average US Infantry unit. The unit has 3d6 command dice, Joshua rolls the dice and gets 2,3,4. Each number is the amount of additional AP the unit the points are allocated to now get and add to their single AP.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Joshua allocates the dice as follows:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>Squad</b></td><td><b>Command Dice Roll</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Platoon HQ</td><td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Squad Alpha</td><td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Squad Bravo</td><td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Squad Charlie</td><td>0 - no dice allocated</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Players will have insufficient dice to allocate points to all units. Units without a command dice have a default 1AP to spend during each combat phase.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
These extra points that each squad gains from their command dice have to last the full combat Round of 10 combat phases in which any one squads is only active 4 times, but you do burn through the command points pretty quick and to paraphrase the song <i>"knowing when to hold 'em and knowing when play 'em"</i> is a big part of the game.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In the opening move of the game. The first US Squad arriving on the board first (we are still using an initiative system similar to Sangin) spent 3 of their AP and raced across the board towards the village, stopping on the road taking cover from the corn field and a stonewall.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Next to activate were the Germans who burn even more APs (4) to move forward and occupy a building on the edge of the village.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The rest of the US units began an encirclement of the village while the Germans attempted to block the US on the right. The opening moves were mainly movement but when one US squad having failed its spot roll occupied the building across the way from the Germans they were meet with German grenades and many casualties were incurred?</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Germans didn't have it their own way, they were meet with gunfire from the USA in the centre of the village but did manage to move additional squads and their HQ team into the village?.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So more to come soon of this battle and along the way we'll tell you a few more things about Platoon+</div>

<br />
AFRIKA is an imaginary continent set in the modern world. This book contains 9 scenarios and all the background information players need to create forces (ORBATS) for each of the 14 countries and UN Peacekeepers, Private Military Contractors and Guerrillas.
This book contains detailed background on 14 new and original Afrikaan Countries. Within this continent, its countries have a diverse range of problems that includes everything from war-like aggressive neighbours to internal dissent and terrorism. At the same time these countries deal with the spectre of modern colonialism. This takes many forms including aid dependency, unscrupulous trade deals and arms supplies from countries as diverse as China, India, Europe and the USA.
This is not a standalone rulebook, players will need a copy of Skirmish Sangin to use this supplement.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcl2QClJip7zV3eM5HCX9skg8PgilwHTDMRg-qNX61eh6uqsfpJACdlEkQbxxOCx9nSA9nR1T3x49YkLmT13AGYcgE6IADRh7sWeMUqBGAv272PkhBfT1jpHChlWOhK0x02Hi0_mt3A0/s1600/2016-05-12+19.54.21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcl2QClJip7zV3eM5HCX9skg8PgilwHTDMRg-qNX61eh6uqsfpJACdlEkQbxxOCx9nSA9nR1T3x49YkLmT13AGYcgE6IADRh7sWeMUqBGAv272PkhBfT1jpHChlWOhK0x02Hi0_mt3A0/s640/2016-05-12+19.54.21.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The premise of the game is:<br />
<div class="p1">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Overview </b></div>
<div class="p3">
The local Taliban group is being pressured to make a successful strike against the ISAF forces by their immediate superiors. They have been ordered to make an attack on the highway that runs North-South through this area of Helmand. </div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Taliban Briefing </b></div>
<div class="p3">
The Taliban group decides to lay two IEDs along the highway and lay an ambush further along on both sides of the road. The IEDs were placed the previous night and set up to work off a TV remote. All they need to do is press the button. </div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
On the day of the attack it’s foggy and bitterly cold. The Taliban move to their target areas early and begin the watch on the road. There is little real cover and they make the best they can of what’s available. They sit waiting for their spies at the local truck stop to tell them when any ISAF vehicles leave. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>ISAF briefing: </b></div>
<div class="p4">
</div>
<div class="p3">
A Jackal, 2x Technical (we used a snatch Landrover because I forget the second technical) and Trucks are travelling in convoy between FOBs. After a brief stop to refuel at the truck stop the vehicles continue their journey. In each technical are six Afghan National Police (ANP) officers (Four in the back and two in the cab). The Jackal has a four UK Para advisers plus a driver. One of the advisers will be manning the vehicle-mounted 12.7mm HMG.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
The Taliban lie in wait, its a very foggy morning so the maximum spot range is 12" and we use the -50% night rules to reduce players ability to spot. This made hitting anything hard for both sides.</div>
<div class="p3">

The Jackal drives over the IED but no bang, unfortunately the next vehicle, the first technical, is blown sky high by the IED killing all the crew. Immediately the Jackal stops and tries to spot where the RPG was fired from. They see the Taliban hiding but the return .50 cal fire misses.</div>

Finally the Brits gather enough courage and charge the Taliban line which steadily crumbles under them. Their superior skills are brought to bear and the Taliban lose a lot of casualties in one round. The second technical not shown now also debused and its ANP make short work of the other Taliban force (unfortunately those pics didn't come out). At this point we called the game and it was a narrow victory for the ISAF.</div>

It was a good close fought game, which went backwards and forwards between the activations with only the last two combat phases defining the win.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
At the time
we where creating our own Somali miniatures for our project <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1984924606/the-day-of-the-rangers" target="_blank">Maalintii Rangers (Day of the Rangers)</a> that went on to be a very successful Kickstarter for us
and you will see many of those miniatures in the forthcoming book, as they make great Afrika OPFOR Forces</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">After a
brief discussion between the two companies, I got over excited about things as is
usual and decided I would create a special book called
Skirmish Afrika<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>especially for that MBA
Kickstarter. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">As MBA wanted to make sure this was all fantasy we looked at the country of Africa and first off </span> completely redrew the country boundaries and renamed the countries.<span lang="mi-NZ"> Being long time </span><i>Deutsches Afrikakorps</i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman";"> </span><span lang="mi-NZ">(DAK) fans we changed the spelling to Afrika to emphasis the difference.</span><br />
<span lang="mi-NZ"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">Thus the book concept was born. As with all births, its had its good bits, its hard bits and it downright painful bits and I am still not quite finished... its currently weighing in at 25k words wise and has breakdowns on 15 countries with ORBATS for all the main protagonists in each one. It also has (currently) 6 scenarios and an article about making Afrika terrain (sneak peek below). ORBATS on PMCs and Guerrillas and few other things to add that Afrikaan flavour.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">In our
renaming we took all the existing countries chopped up their names and mixed
them up, combining country names and keeping the feel of the original african
nations. Sometimes we reverted back to ancient country names, sometimes we just
went wild with the names. Until we settled on the map of Afrika.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">Once the
map was redrawn we had to provide sensible backgrounds for each of the
countries, we looked at the land masses and worked up using bits of real
history but changing the names to protect the innocent and also looked at a
sort of modern colonialism. Thus you will be see everyone from China, India,
USA and Europe having some influence on our new Afrikaan countries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">We then
choose one major conflict for a small campaign of linked scenarios to show how you as players can
take these country background and create your own campaigns.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;"><br /></span>
<span lang="mi-NZ" style="mso-ansi-language: #0481;">Now obviously this is still a work in progress. The first draft has been completed and gone off to the trusted readers in the <a href="http://skirmishsangin.freeforums.net/" target="_blank">Sangin Community</a> for feedback. Once thats collected and analysed, the book edited and laid out, it will just be the photoshoot that will be needed before we can release this bad boy, first to those wonderful people who supported MBA Kickstarter and then to you the waiting public.</span></div>

<b>BELOW:</b></div>

This the board set up for a scenario Ray wrote, about a group of journalists behind enemy lines being harassed by the Taliban and in need of rescue. Their rescuers are a squad of French legionnaires in a VAB armed with a 50 cal.</div>

<b>BELOW:</b> and much later in the game - (I forgot to take photographs oops) the French arrive in their VAB. The french avoid the road in case of IED and crest the hill and move down into the village to take cover behind a Compound this is where they debused. At this point the Taliban have actually began to storm the compound that the journalists and their PMC bodyguards are in.<br />
<br />

<b>NOT SHOWN:</b><br />
The French came under fire from Taliban across the street but they fired their AT4 and removed the threat. Eventually the French brought their .50 cal to bare and under such fire the Taliban slipped away but not before first the female journalist managing to kill 2 Taliban with a pistol.<br />

Unfortunately that's where we had to call the game but the Scots now occupied the southern end of the bridge, the Taliban had taken lots of casualties and were trying to get their novices to move up without two much luck. A series of Taliban took to their heels in this the last combat phase of the game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So a good victory for the Scots. Its an interesting game playing a nighttime advance and means you have to change tactics. Have a go and let us know how you got on?</div>

So its been a while since our last free scenario. Many things have happened in that time not the least being a very successful Kickstarter campaign, new writers onboard, other taking a rest as they wrestle with careers and small children, but never fear we are back with this great new scenario from Michael Charge. Michael is very active on the blog and was brave enough to send me this scenario that I loved. Some play testing and a few tweaks later we have a new a scenario for you.</div>

<span lang="EN-AU">Looking at the aims of the game it probably
worth listing the core building blocks of the new game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li>The game needs to allow Skirmish Sangin
players to take their characters into playing a larger game, with some
conversion.<br /></li>
<li>The rule system will NOT just be Skirmish
Sangin with a few new rules.<br /></li>
<li>This is a modern rule set for modern
warfare both symmetrical and asymmetrical; it is NOT based in Afghanistan and
can be used to model any current or future conflict.<br /></li>
<li>The game smallest unit can change depending
on the size of the game player want to play. What do we mean by this, well if
players want to play a platoon sized game the smallest unit will be a fire team,
if they want to play multiple Platoons the smallest unit type would be a squad.
It may be possible to play this game with the smallest unit being an
individual.<br /></li>
<li>Miniatures will be based singularly but the
larger the game becomes the more abstract the game system will be come, as it
needs to handle bigger numbers.<br /></li>
<li>The game must be easy to play and learn and
players with 2 platoons per side should be able to play a game in about 2.5
hours.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">So those are some big building blocks on
which everything will hinge. Below are some images of working platoon sheets.
They are a work in progress but the idea is a single page should represent a
platoon and everything the players need to will be on that page.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU">Currently we are experimenting with using
1d20 instead of 1d100. While I love 1d100 for granulation in Skirmish Sangin,
as the number of troops gets bigger, it becomes increasingly necessary to loose
that granulation without loosing the spirit of the game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Platoon+</h2>
So we continue with our Platoon+ testing. This time we added off table resources. The Taliban had a mortar and a sniper and the ISAF had a heavy weapons team which included 2 Javelins and a sniper.<br />
<br />
The ISAF platoons consisted on 1 Platoon of US Army and 1 Platoon of French. This was mainly to help us test the differences in national Platoon types and the Taliban had 25 minis.<br />
<br />
The board looked like this.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Taliban held everything south of the river with ISAF coming from the north of the river. The Taliban were embedded in the village of Ghorak having in the scenario taken possession of the town the day before.<br />
<br />
The battle unfolded with the ISAF advance. Its was a two prong approach designed to split the Taliban fire, this worked very well. The Taliban, dug in the building were initially a tough nut to crack with the French being pinned down on the left flank (bottom right of the pic below).<br />
<br />

The Taliban used the banks of the stream as cover as they tried to bring fire on to the face arriving Americans.<br />

<br />
The French hunkered down over the continual fire from the Taliban. The advanced initially brought to a stop. Here the first casualties went to the Taliban withering fire.<br />

The Americans charged the dug in Taliban along the river line and a fearful hand-to-hand battle begins. This would go on for most of the game with the Taliban taking casualties but refusing to yield. Ray (pictured) wanted to test the hand-to-hand rules and his Taliban held up well.</div>

The French move up through the poppy field and come under off table mortar fire, twice they were hit and twice the dice (6d20) yield no casualties, but it did shake them up. The US employed both javelins but were such bad shots they missed their targets and inflicted only minor damage.</div>

So just like before we have learned a few things and we have added more elements to the game I can honestly say I like where this is going. Both of my play testers liked it too. Once more of the rules are written up in a more cognitive form I will be looking for more play testers, so let us know if your interested.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The game took 2 hours and 15 minutes with high Taliban casualties but ISAF were pinned for a number of rounds, which stopped there advance dead for a while.</div>

<b><br />Code name Platoon +</b><br />
<br />
This is the working title for taking Skirmish Sangin into larger battles. It will allow players to play any conflict so you’re not restricted to Afghanistan, even though most of our testing has been asymmetrical so far.<br />
<br />
We have been working on this now for 6 months and last night played our first Alpha version of the game. This involved putting two full ISAF platoons, 1 French and 1 US Army against 28 Taliban who where occupying the town of Ashram Akar. So thats 80+ miniatures on the board. The entire game including learning the rule splay in 2.5 hours<br />
<br />
The aim of our rules is for a quick game that allows players to command multiple units. As an Alpha test release this played better than I ever hoped. The battle was intense, with each unit type having a flavour all of their own and with an easy mechanic that took my two play tester (I was just observing and explaining rules) 30 minutes to play without my help.<br />
<br />
Now obviously we found faults and flaws and the project needs much more further development but we hope to this product out in the third quarter this year.<br />
<br />
We still have all vehicles to develop but we can already call in off table assets, think aircraft, snipers and heavy weapons support teams and the like.<br />
<br />
The idea of the rules is you can play it at different levels with the smallest unit type being a fire team if you are playing a single Platoon, or a squad if you are playing with more than 1 platoon and having the same mechanics regardless of scale.<br />
