After being kidnapped en route from the airport by an unknown group of militia, intelligence has been working day and night to recover him. Unfortunately, the whims of the Bazistan government has caused this process to be delayed as only Bazi SF can act on any intelligence partner nations provide. A Special Forces team from Geordiestan did arrive in country but was turned round at the airport. Other nations have also been held off, with American, British and Russians all barred from operating legally on Bazi soil. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a new piece of information has come to light. Multiple sources point to a group in the badlands bordering Aden which is preparing to move two high value targets out of the country. This compound has attracted the attention of the Bazistan army as well as British Intelligence. Two teams from the SAS (codenamed SABRE and WANDERER) have been deployed to extract the hostages before the Bazistan Army does.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7842 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_192954-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The game takes place in a frontier town in the Badlands of Bazistan, close to the border with the Aden Republic and only a short drive to the Red Sea. Intel had found two target buildings, (the tan coloured ones in the photo above) that were militia strongholds and could be the location of the two hostages. Both buildings would need to be checked. As the game began, the militia were completely unalert &#8211; the town is in safe territory and the police hadn&#8217;t tipped them off to any possible attackers. The Bazistan Army wouldn&#8217;t arrive until later &#8211; Bazi SF arriving on turn 2 and the bulk of the force arriving on turn 3.<\/p>\n<p>The forces were simple:<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SABRE &#8211; 6 Elite operators with usual direct action kit, including a LAW, LMG, UGL and DMR<\/li>\n<li>WANDERER &#8211; 6 Elite operators in local clothing. Designed for stealth, they also had a SMG, Auto Shotgun and a Airburst grenade launcher<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Bazi Army<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bazi SF &#8211; 6 professionals with modified assault rifles and the usual support items like body armour and medical kits<\/li>\n<li>Bazi Motorised &#8211; 8 Trained soldiers with Assault Rifles, a MMG and an RPG accompanied by an Elite Special Forces mentor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Militia<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three technicals &#8211; two with HMG and one with a recoilless rifle<\/li>\n<li>Multiple small groups of trained fighters, armed with the usual mix of Assault Rifles, RPGs and MMGs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SAS came on from the Western board edge, seeking the shortest route to one of the buildings that avoided the patrolling guards. SABRE headed for one of the ruined buildings, aiming to set up a base of fire to assist an assault on Objective Bravo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7844 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_195052-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>WANDERER headed for Objective Alpha, stacking up on the door before breaching into the empty interior. Carefully sneaking around, they headed upstairs. <em>Due to the buildings not including staircases, we added two in opposite corners of the building.

Taking advantage of their silenced pistols and SMGs, the team took the first shots of the game easily dropping the two fighters inside the main room. After disposing of them and the two RPG gunners on the balcony, only three militiamen knew something was up.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, their intel was faulty &#8211; this building was completely clear of hostages. Time to dig in and start covering<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7846 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_195236-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instead, time to focus on Objective Bravo. SABRE moved into an assault position, with the LMG, DMR and UGL gunner digging into the damaged building while the rest of the team prepared to sprint across the road.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, they spotted a white SUV moving away from the target building. It seemed to be forming up into a convoy with one of the other technicals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7847 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_195641-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As turn two began, the first sign of real trouble turned up. Six operatives of the Bazi Special Forces had appeared, moving through the ruins of the African Quarter. They managed to stay relatively quiet, not alerting the militia as they crept into position.<\/p>\n<p>Turn two was pretty uneventful &#8211; WANDERER dug in to the building by setting up positions covering the staircases and aiming to cover any assault on Objective Bravo. At the same time, SABRE moved into final positions, with the assault team going into cover behind one of the pickups by the side of the road. By now these actions were starting to concern some of the civilians and it was only a matter of time before the militia was entirely on alert.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7850 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_201925-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, elements of the Bazi 12th Motorised Division have no concept of stealth and rolled onto the board in their BTR80A. This could be a major game changer &#8211; the armour would be hard to penetrate while the heavy autocannon would easily cut a swathe through tightly packed squads.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7851 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_201942-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was the battlefield as the engagement shifted from a stealthy operation into a\u00a0more kinetic experience. A few other things happened very quickly:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7852 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_202548-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First up, the technical leading the convoy about to escort the SUV away swung round at the sight of the enemy. The M40 recoilless rifle it carried on the back would be one of the main weapons against the enemy AFV.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7853 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_204225-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two of the local Bazistan police ran forward to see what on earth this military unit was doing here. Once in cohesion range, these two police changed from being ambient civilians to working alongside the military.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7854 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_204233-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As for the militia, they quickly started moving some more assets around. One of the technicals with HMG moved into an ambush position, ready to spring out with the .50cal. Of more immediate danger, a fighter with a RPG-29 moved into position on the balcony and prepared to engage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7855 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_204418-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Across the road, SABRE waited.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7856 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_205444-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Rolling forward, the BTR was quick to drop the ramp and send deploys its squad of Bazi soldiers. Of note was the fact that they had been joined by an Elite mentor to give them a bit more sticking power in the fight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7857 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_210401-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the massed fire from three separate squads, the Bazistan army quickly started taking a toll on the smaller militia units, pinning them down under massed suppression of simply taking them out.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7859 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_210647-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, SABRE bust into the target building and came face to face with a few surviving militiamen. Ever the professionals, they quick dropped them before pushing forward. From upstairs, they could hear the steady sound of gunfire as the insurgents engaged the oncoming army. The fire managed to down the two policemen and suppress the oncoming soldiers but did distract them from the team of killers slowly climbing the stairs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7860 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_210928-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the same time, WANDERER got involved and pulled a cool piece of kit out of the toolbox. Rather than engaging an isolated militia group with carbines, the airburst grenade launcher took aim and sent a single shot flying out across the roof tops.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7861 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_211209-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Safe to say, it was quite effective.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7863 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_213017-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An interesting side diversion was the two police at the end of the map. Rather than meeting up with the Bazi army to begin operations, they instead got stuck in a fight while trying to defend themselves from the militia trying to restrain them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7864 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_213021-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back in the fray, the militia were taking a beating with huge numbers of suppression markers. It wasn&#8217;t just the Bazi Army &#8211; WANDERER were assisting the assault on Objective Bravo by eliminating incoming militia units thanks to sitting on overwatch &#8211; the -1 modifier was easily nullified by the optics and high shooting skill.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7865 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_213255-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in the building SABRE rushed up the stairs to be confronted by a stack of insurgents. However, they were ready for this. In went the flashbang.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7867 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_220950-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a blinding flash and a hail of gunfire, three insurgents lay dead &#8211; the other two were to follow in the next turn.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium_large wp-image-7868 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/MVIMG_20171207_221541-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this stage, the photos dry up but there were a few great events<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SABRE&#8217;s base of fire started engaging the Bazi Army, kill several with a mix of 40mm, LMG fire and DMR shots. However, many more were saved thanks the body armour and personal medkits<\/li>\n<li>The BTR and technicals started trading rounds, leading to both parties ending up with no drivers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the big thing was unmasking of the hostage in Objective Bravo revealing the ambassador&#8217;s aide. Finally being told that the ambassador was in the quickly escaping white SUV, two members of WANDERER decided to engage.
