Looking for Abdullah
The scenario has a USMC squad escorting two Afghan National Police to question and or bring in a suspected Taliban agent. The squad deploys and enters the market street outside the suspect’s compound. The ANP enter the compound and interview a man inside. His story doesn’t add up and he’s cuffed for processing. The marines begin searching the street and detect something “funny” about the white pickup. Not sure what it is, they back off. The Taliban decide it’s time to make a run for it with the vehicles if possible. Shooters appear, but the marines fire is dead on and a quick gun battle ends with the Taliban fleeing. End result. 4 Taliban dead, 2 Marines lightly wounded. One prisoner and a weapons’ cache in the back of the white pickup. (Scale 1/56, mostly Empress and Eureka miniatures. Combat rules: Danger Close, with modifications for intel and civilian interactions.)
