Capt. Toleran Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 For those of you looking for inspiration from real world events, it occurred to me the Battle of Wanat, from this Summer in Afghanistan, might be a good scenario to make. Any plans from anybody on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhantom Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Sounds interesting, Here's something on it - The Taliban attack was carried out early in the morning, 4:20 AM, after the enemy has sneaked into town and told the locals to leave. These same civilians had warned the coalition force that the Taliban were going to attack. But those warning had been coming daily, since the troops moved into Wanat on July 8th and began building a Forward Operating Base in an area about 300 meters long and 100 meters wide. There was also an outpost on small hill 50 meters away, manned by nine troops. Two thirds of the defending troops were American. The enemy attack was well planned, with the Taliban firing from three sides. The enemy tried to overrun the base, and at one point some of them entered through a breach in a wall, but were killed or forced back. The battle lasted four hours, ending after the Taliban survivors pulled out. I just might try this........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogNative Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wanat "It was close combat to be sure — hand grenade range." "Two American soldiers, Lieutenant Jonathan Brostrom and Corporal Jason Hovater, were killed trying to deliver ammunition under fire to their comrades in the observation post who were running low. American soldiers were at times flushed out of their fortifications by what they thought were grenades, but which were actually rocks thrown by the attackers." The US brought in air power to stabilize the situation in a fight that then lasted for several hours. Sounds like a very intense 30 minutes +. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
