My son Charlie and I finally got round to playing our first
game of Force on Force some 9 months after I started the project, building an
African shanty town. We played the game out of the rules called ‘A Few Blocks
of Hell’ but as it was set in my fictional West African country, Zugando, we
substituted the US army for SAS and Delta forces, and changed the insurgents to
rebel militia and Zugando Peoples Resistance Army.
Charlie took command of the coalition Special Forces, while
I played the Africans.
The main mission was for the SF to get into the target
buildings (the watch tower and the ruined church) by the end of turn 4, and
hold them until the end of turn 6).
SAS forces, under Captain Price, intercepted information
that the PRA forces were massing for an offensive. The PRA has been stockpiling
weapons and fuel in the village of Fanno Casa. Their intelligence suggests that
the stockpile is in either the ruined church mission or in the guard station in
the centre of the village. A squad of PRA soldiers were protecting the site
from thieves, but intelligence suggest that the village also has a sizable
number of militiamen loyal to the PRA who will no doubt come out to fight too.
A combined force of 18 special forces men drawn from SAS and Delta Force were tasked to
locate and destroy the supply dump to delay the PRA attack. They were supported by a SAS light mortar crew firing form the jungle. They would approach
the village from the south, through the jungle under the cover of darkness, and
attack just before dawn.

Spud is down! Early in the battle the Delta Force took a casualty |
Captain Price leads his men onto a roof top from where they provide overwach and he directs deadly accurate mortar fire. |
