Mixing it Up [LNLT]

This will be the last play for the year. Reading the Rommel papers has me inspired to get some carboard out and see how the Kiwis do in 1942 attacking an 88mm position. What could go wrong? Each location of an 88mm has a occupation random event paragraph. So no doubt bad things will happen upon capture! As we can see the penetration rate of 8 out to 7 hexes with a 10 or less to hit is pretty…

Mines & Men /3

From post #2 Turn 1 action. The squad moves out in a combat wedge to tackle the likely ambush in the jungle edge before the LVTPs advance. They offer overwatch/opportunity fire. Fire rings out from the huts behind the jungle hex which fail to bother the USMC squad who close on the jungle hex. Arnat and her ½ now must fire or face withering attack next turn. They shoot and succeed in suppressing…

Mines & Men /2

You may recall our starting positions from last week. In Lock n Load Tactical, on the defense I find it beneficial to be somewhat in depth, so as to chew up the time for the attacker with clearing their flanks/rear or securing spread out objectives. In this case we want to make the wire clearing hard as possible, and we have an RPG…. So. IT would make sense to stick that bad boy in dense jungle…

Mines & Men LNLT /1

HEROES OF THE NAM, formerly Forgotten Heroes. LNLT. This scenario comes from Battle Pack Alpha pack expansion. A bit of a convoluted scenario with some map edits: all Hill terrain is flat and clear. Bunker markers are extra wooden buildings. The LNL markers are heavy jungle. Note that the new Compendium actually comes with substitute maps 4a and 5a! Nice.! Not sure I have that floating around…

Hunters become the Hunted

We had just slid to a halt where we had secreted our rucks. Shots fired in the distance, the residual from our ambush  [ Link to the ambush escapades: link  ] , It had been brutal and effective. My chest was heaving from exertion, we were taking turns helping injured and walking wounded along. My nice easy ambush had gone FUBAR. It was a trap. Now with enemy troops tracking us we had to get to a…

Foy, Battles of Easy Company

If Ash was honest with himself, he was always scared. Fearful of being wounded, of dying, of stepping on a mine, or missing a shot. Yet in all of it he was more afraid of letting this small group of men, this wayward sorry ass band of brothers, down. Even the new recruits, the FNG’s. A fine sentiment. A noble one even, he chuckled to himself…But today was different. Today, that f#$ing idiot…

Trouble in the Falklands

In the briefing room the Argentine forces were relaxed and even a little cocky. Why not. They were men. Real men. Argentinas elite. Elite men no less from the best of the best. Lt Mendez and Weigand nodded to each other. They knew. Unless the Brits had more men than thought, one of two thing would happen. They would surrender….or they all would die. Their plan was simple, capture the buildings,…
