Yesterday we play tested the modern 28mm Afghanistan Force on Force scenario for Cold Wars 2023. The scenario involved various Taliban units trying to attack the 3rd Para British Forward Operating Base.
The game result was that the Taliban inflicted heavy casualties on the two units of Afghan National Police. Eventually, the British forced the Taliban to withdraw under heavy fire. The British remained within the defenses of the Forward Operating Base rather than coming out to engage the Taliban at close quarters.
As a result of the play test I will be modifying some of the initial deployment positions and adjusting some of the victory conditions. I want to encourage the British player to be more aggressive.
I took most of the photos below before the game started, showing the initial table set up. As I was busy running the game, there are less photos once the game commenced. As a result there are not many images of the actual combat.
Photos of the battle.
Overall, the play test went very well. The 28mm Afghanistan Force on Force captured the feel of modern combat.
A truly amazing and inspiring table. Thank you for sharing the photos.
Thanks for your kind comments.
