Firefight at Kilvasten Farm

The Midlands of England and the border country with Wales suffered at the hands of scores of small bands of Islamic State fighters that acted as scouts, scavengers, and death squads. These isolated cells operated independently under a charismatic leader and averaged a dozen individuals. They dressed in civilian clothing, traveled in stolen civilian vehicles, and rarely possessed heavy weapons (with exception of the ubiquitous rocket-propelled grenade launcher).

Most of these groups attacked isolated farms, small villages, and refugee camps. They committed robbery, arson, rape, and murder in their campaign to terrorize the population and pressure the already fragile local and national governments.

In response, the Home Guard tasked the surviving elements of the 4th Mercian Regiment  with protecting the area. In addition to reservists and police volunteers, the 4th Mercian received a small number of advisors from the Special Air Service. Because armoured vehicles were in short supply, they were initially outfitted with civilian SUVs of various types. Some older armoured vehicles were reactivated for their use, including several venerable (and widely disliked) Saxon APCs.

Because of the large area they were assigned and the limited number of soldiers available, units of the 4th Mercian became adept at operating in small groups with considerable autonomy. Platoons split into sections and fireteams to patrol the country lanes and village roads, trusting to sometimes spotty radio communication for backup.

A History of the European Intifada by Manheim Frye

Scenario

A fireteam of the 4th Mercian Regiment believes that a group of Islamic State fighters are currently bedded down in the remains of Kilvasten Farm, a small farm that was an early casualty in the fighting. Because the IS group is highly mobile and likely to leave before assistance arrives, the fireteam elects to assault the fighters at dawn.

Board

The fighting takes place in and around an abandoned farm in the Midlands of the UK. The ground is flat with many trees and bushes.

The structures marked House 1 and House 2 are abandoned and burned out with no roofs. The barn (marked B) is intact, as are the shed and chicken coop to the left. There are two vehicles, a pickup truck and an SUV hidden behind House 1.

Scenario Rules

• Field of Dreams: The fields in the right of House 2 provide Soft Cover while the rest of the fields provide Medium Cover.
• Renovations in Progress: Houses 1 and 2 have many holes blasted through the walls and figures can enter them through any wall.
• Waking Up: IS fighters within House 1 and the Barn cannot take an action until either the guards successfully Spot the enemy and calls out to his comrades.
• Is Hard to Do: Those IS fighters in House 1 and the Barn require 1 action phase to exit the structure. Figures are placed within 1” of the structure at the completion of their actions.

Victory Points

IS Victory Points

For every British soldier killed or wounded, 25 points

4th Mercian Victory Points

For every IS insurgent killed or wounded, 10 points

Setup

The British Home Guard forces start within 6” of the bottom of the board. The IS insurgents have two fighters on guard, with one above the barn and another below House 1. Both start as Hidden. The rest of the IS fighters are split between House 1 and the Barn.

Briefing

IS Briefing

“Awaken my brothers and gather your wits. It’s time to say our prayers, eat our breakfast, drink our tea, and prepare for another day of service to the Caliph. There are more kafir we must fight before we can rest again.”

UK Briefing

“There’s a good chance that the terrorists responsible for a lot of the murders around here are somewhere over there in those buildings. The problem is that the rest of the platoon won’t get here for another 20 minutes and the bastards can bugger off at any moment. I say that we don’t give them the chance.”


Variations

This scenario was written and played assuming good weather. However, it could play out differently if the weather were to turn foul and heavy wind and rain (does it rain in England?) were to restrict Spotting to 12".

An Evening Rescue in Brummiegrad

This is an after-action report for a solo game I played over the weekend. The setting is the badly damaged city of Birmingham (Brummiegrad) during the Intifada. The Islamic State (IS) forces have three prisoners and are interrogating them (re: torture) at a ruined factory in the Ward End section of the city. A drone identified the location and a small mixed section of UK soldiers infiltrate the area to attempt a rescue.

The IS forces (the solo side) consisted of a Veteran, two Average fighters, and six novices. Their objective is to defend a position and prevent the UK soldiers from rescuing the prisoners.

• Veteran - Muhammed w/ AK
• Average + Sniper Training - Elam w/ AK
• Average - Hussein w/ RPG-7
• Novice - Saqqaff w/ AK
• Novice - Saab w/ RPK
• Novice - Albaf w/ AK
• Novice - Alfarsi w/ AK
• Novice - Abdulla w/ AK
• Novice - Sultan w/ AK

 

The UK mixed section consists of three Royal Marines and two members of the West Midlands Police. The West Midlands Police have a deep knowledge of the area and are armed like soldiers, a role they’ve played ever since the beginning of the Intifada.

• Elite - Sgt. Brady w/ SA80 + UGL
• Veteran - Pvt. Entovich w/ SAW
• Veteran - Pvt. Dooney w SLR
• Average - Patrolman Karchee w/ SA80
• Average - Patrolman Foster w/ SA80

The scenario takes place in the late autumn at dusk (–25 to Spot).

The UK soldiers approach from the south and initially attempt to get past a guard post by stealth.

Note on my action counting: The first number is the turn, the second number is the combat phase, and the third number is the rolled order of action. For example, 2.1.6 is turn two, combat phase one, and the character rolled a 6 on a d10 (house rule).

1.7.6  Albaf emerges from the building and takes up a position nearby.

1.7.10  Dooney passes his Morale test, curses in several languages, stands, and runs across the street toward his fellow soldiers.

1.8.1  Hussein picks up his RPG-7 and walks to a position he can peer down the alley but fails to see anything.

1.8.3  Patrolman Karchee takes a knee at the front of the car and tries to see what’s going on at the other end of the alley and fails.

1.8.6  Alfarsi continues to try and see what is going on and fails every time.

1.8.7  Foster reaches the building and takes a position flanking an opening in the building.

1.8.8  Sultan remains unconscious and continues to bleed out.

1.8.10  Elam edges between the overturned truck and the BMW and attempts to get a bead on the soldiers at the end of the alley and fails.

1.9.4  Muhammed takes a position right behind Elam and spots Sgt. Brady behind the car.

1.9.5  Entovich, always the last to the party, reaches the car and gets his SAW ready for action.

1.9.6  Brady spots Elam and gets off a quick shot. It hits but only grazes Elam, causing a Light wound.

1.9.8  Abdullah, races through the rubble, nearing a flanking position.

1.9.10  Dooney reaches the doorway of the building and looks into the ruined center, seeing nothing.

1.10.6  Karchee, unable to see anything at the end of the alley in the dim light, struggles to get a target.

1.10.7  Sultan remains unconscious and enters Critical stage from blood loss.

1.10.8  Hussein takes a knee near the edge of the overturned truck and sees the three soldiers behind the car at the end of the alley. He brings his RPG-7 to bear.

2.1.3  Saqqaff continues to guard the prisoners.

2.1.6  Saab runs and stops and successfully spots the UK soldiers.

2.2.1  Alfarsi runs to cover and stops.

2.2.2  Foster peers over the damaged wall, sees Abdulla running toward him and shoots him. Abdullah takes a Serious wound and skids to the ground.

2.2.10  Karchee finally gets a bead on Hussein and fires, but misses.

2.3.2  Albaf carefully walks forward and spots Foster.

2.3.4  Saqqaff continues to guard the prisoners.

2.3.5  Saab rips off a long burst with his RPK but the novice fails to hit a target (although all three soldiers have to make a Morale test)

2.3.6  Entovich passes his Morale and shoots at Saab, missing.

2.3.7  Dooney enters the building and fails to see the fighter on the other side of the wall.

2.3.8  Abdullah, his body stitched with bullets, remains unconscious and begins to bleed out.

2.3.9  Brady brings his underbarrel grenade launcher up and fires. The explosive lands within a few meters of Elam, Hussein, and Muhammed, who have no cover from that direction. All three are killed ugly (37, 30, and 18 damage).

2.4.1  Sultan remains unconscious as his lifeblood pools around him.

2.4.3  Foster sees Albaf and gets a quick shot off, but misses.

2.4.5  Karchee watches for Saab to step around the corner with the RPK and fires a burst into his chest, killing him.

2.4.6  Alfarsi makes his Morale check (Alluha Ackbar!) and takes an aimed shot at Foster but still misses.

2.5.3  Saqqaff, overcome with curiosity, looks outside and sees the gory remains of Elam, Hussain, and his leader Muhammed. The smell of ammonia follows him as he runs away.

2.5.4  Dooney realizes that there is a fighter on the other side of the wall, yells “Frag Out” and tosses a grenade. Unfortunately, it lands on the other side of the low wall. When it detonates, it shreds the unconscious Abdullah and does enough damage to kill Alfarsi. However, it also does 10 damage to Foster, although his armor absorbs most of it, leaving him with a light wound and burning desire to put his boot up Dooney’s arse.

2.5.9  Brady advances around the car and up the alleyway.

2.5.10  Entovich follows behind Brady.

2.6.3  Karchee stands from his position and runs to follow Brady and Entovich.

2.6.4  Albaff, having just seen his friends killed and hearing no returning fire from his side, fails his Morale check and runs like a demon between the buildings and down the road toward safety.

2.6.8  Foster passes his Morale.

At that point there were no remaining intifada forces on the table, with seven killed and two forced to retire. The combined patrol rescued the three prisoners and called for medical evac. The victors suffered only a light wound, ironically caused by Dooney’s poor application of a grenade. Later, Foster kindly suggests that the next time Donney gets the urge to “Frag Out”, Foster will place the aforementioned frag firmly in Dooney’s rectum.

Skirmish at Bordesly Green

The following is a brief AAR of a short solo game that I played over the weekend. The scenario was played in my European Intifada setting, in a Birmingham (UK) that has been badly damaged by fighting between UK soldiers and Islamic State forces and is nicknamed “Brummiegrad”.

Location: Intersection of Hob Moor Rd & Yardley Green Rd (Bordesly Green, Birmingham, UK)

Time: Dusk (–25 to Spotting)

Weather: Clear

Missions

• UK Mission: One Section, Fireteam A, was to reconnoiter a 3-story building at the corner of Hob Moor Rd. and Yardley Green as an OP. Previous drone recon had shown the building to be empty.
• IS Mission: Barrak’s Band (7 fighters) was to hold the recently occupied northern side of Yardley Green Rd on both sides of Hob Moor Rd.

Action

One Section, Fireteam A (L. Corp. Avery, Pvt. Broderick, Pvt. Chen, and Pvt. Denton), approached the target building by traversing through a bombed out section of the west side of Hob Moor Rd. until reaching Yardley Green Rd.

L. Corp. Avery went prone and surveyed the target building and nearby buildings but failed to see the hiding IS fighters in the target building and the building to the east, across Hob Moor Rd.

Pvt. Broderick made a dash across Yardley Green Rd. and came under snap fire from IS fighters with AKs and an RPK.

L. Corp. Avery (kneeling) and Pvt. Denton returned fire.

Additional IS fighters fired on Avery and Denton from the target building and the building to the east (a fighter with an RPG spotted Avery but could not fire due to potential backblast).

Broderick failed his morale check and was Retired, leaving the board and giving the IS a victory.

Avery was hit by fire incoming fire and received a Serious Wound.

Denton and Pvt. Chen evacuated Avery off the board, leaving the buildings in the hands of the IS.

Skirmish Outcome

• UK: 1 Forcibly Retired and evacuation of 1 Serious Wound
• IS (VICTOR): No casualties, in control of the target building

Paris is Choking

“By September, the Intifada had been raging for nearly three months and the character of Europe had fundamentally changed. The nations of the EU had shifted to a footing more appropriate for a civil war and were aggressively engaging the Islamic State insurgents. Wartime security laws had been passed and enforced. The public generally accepted these new restrictions and security measures but there remained a vocal minority who demanded a peaceful solution with the Islamic State.

“On the morning of the twenty-first, the insurgents fighting in and around the Bellevue neighborhood of Paris launched an attack that shocked France and the world. At 2:57 GMT, three groups of trucks arrived at their destinations, secured their respective areas, and each set up launchers for crude locally manufactured missiles. The warheads of these missiles contained a sulfur-mustard compound, also manufactured locally and in complete secrecy. Only a few of the insurgents and those who handled the weapons knew what they carried, a fact that would increase the death toll considerably.”

“The missiles were fired into the southern Parisian suburbs and the launchers were quickly reloaded for more. The bright flashes and resounding noise were impossible to hide and within short order the French military pounced on the launch sites. One group was destroyed when a missile exploded on launch, a second fled under fire from a patrolling attack helicopter, and the third was engaged by squads of French soldiers deployed within the city.”

A History of the European Intifada by Manheim Frye

Scenario

The Islamic State is launching unguided rockets from a park in the north of Paris into the suburbs to the south. The rockets contain a lethal sulfur-mustard compound, but only the rocket launch crew know this during the game. The IS player tries to hold the French reaction force for as long as possible, launching as many rockets as possible, while the French force attempts to stop the launching as quickly as possible and kill or capture the insurgents.

Board

The board is approximately 3’ x 3’ and portrays a pleasant open park.

The park is bisected by a 1-meter deep canal. Because of the water’s depth and the hardened banks, the canal is considered Hard Cover. Movement within the canal is restricted 2” when walking and 4” when running. Exiting the canal requires 2 AP. Any character that falls unconscious in the canal will drown if not rescued within two combat phases and counts as a casualty for victory points. The canal is too wide for the VAB to cross.

The canal is crossed by a stone and concrete bridge. It is wide enough for the VAB to cross with some difficulty (Driving at -20%).

To the north (above) the canal is a brick public restroom (Hard Cover) and a drinking fountain (Soft Cover).

To the south of the canal are public seating (Soft Cover), a gazebo (Medium Cover), and a bronze statue on a stone pedestal (Hard Cover).

Victory Points & Setup

IS Victory Points

For every rocket launched, 50 pts

For every French soldier killed or wounded, 15 pts

If the VAB is destroyed, 50 pts

French Victory Points

For each Insurgent killed or wounded, 10 pts

For each rocket captured or destroyed, 50 pts

Setup

The IS player must set up the rocket launcher, the rocket launch crew, and the truck carrying the rockets to the north (above) the canal. The other IS figures and vehicles should be arranged in protective positions around the rocket launcher, crew, and truck.

Dismounted French figures enter the board from the south (bottom) portion of the board. The VAB and any mounted French figures enter the board from the south on Round 2.

Scenario Rules

A Night in the Park

The scenario takes place at night in a dimly lit park. All Spot attempts suffer from a -50% modifier.

Launching a Rocket

The rocket crew can launch one rocket every four Phases. The crew begins to unload (Phase 1) on the first Phase of the first Round of the game.

Phase 1, unload

Phase 2, place on launcher

Phase 3, prep for launch

Phase 4, Launch!

The crew must make successful Morale roll to move to the next launch phase. A Fumble means that the rocket detonates on the launch pad (6d10 KZ/3d10 DZ, KZ = 5'/DZ = 15'). Worse, the explosion spreads the mustard gas throughout the damage zone.

Homemade Insurgent Rockets

The IS forces have 10 rockets in their inventory (enough for at least 6 Rounds of play) Dangerous launch radius - anyone within 5” of the rockets when they launch is in danger from the backblast (damage 2d6). Any night-vision equipment being used on the board is rendered useless at the time of launch by the flash.

Damage to the Rockets

The Insurgent Player should decide in advance which vehicle is carrying the rockets. If that vehicle is struck by weapon doing more than 10 pts of damage, roll a d10. On a 1

or 2, a rocket had been damaged and begins leaking mustard gas.

Exposure to Mustard Gas

Popular culture portrays chemical weapons as clouds of yellow smoke that instantly kill anyone it comes in contact with. In reality, mustard gas is colorless and odorless and can have only a minimal effect on initial exposure (1d10 damage). However, the true extent of the burns make themselves known within 24 hours and those who have been exposed suffer tremendously (+1d10 damage for each subsequent Phase of exposure, manifesting 24 hours after exposure).

Any character who realizes the nature of the threat must immediately make a Morale roll at -50.

Use the rules for Laying Down Smoke in the Heavy Weapons section of Skirmish Sangin to identify size of the gas exposure and direction of drift.

Briefings

“The bastards are launching rockets from a nearby park into the suburbs without any regard for who they kill. Get there fast, dismount, and kill as many as possible. Those rockets must be stopped as soon as possible.”

Conclusion

"If the success of a military operation is measured by the reaction of the target, then it is fair to say that the insurgent use of chemical weapons on Parisian civilians was a resounding, albeit Pyrrhic, success. Some historians have argued that the French response was exactly what the apocalyptic Islamic State desired when it began the European Intifada. Others point to the fact that the IS leadership was largely caught by surprise by the Paris attacks. Indeed, it was a full six hours after the first news broadcast before the IS leadership publicly endorsed the actions of its jihadists.

"What is not in dispute is that three days after the attack, at 1:24 GMT, the French submarine Terrible launched a  single M51 SLBM. The missile rose from the Mediterranean Sea and began an arc that carried it to the Levant. Of the missile's six 107 kiloton warheads, one fell on Aleppo, two on the Al Bagdadi military base, and three detonated over Raqqa, the IS spiritual and administrative center.

"The European Intifada had become an atomic war and there was no going back."
