1-222180

Take on the role of a young officer about to take the Platoon Commanders' course. During this course, you will learn how to move your units on the table top (measurements in inches), use them to put fire down on the enemy and many other mechanics you will need to successfully complete your mission and get everyone home.

Included in this book are army lists for British and American forces during the early part of
the war in Afghanistan (2001-2006) and two army lists for the Taliban or Afghan insurgents during the early insurgency period (2002-2006). These lists provide you with the basic forces you will need and a list of support options. These lists have been created from information we could find, however,due to the extremely limited information about the Taliban and Afghan insurgents, the lists are more themed than exact. Therefore, as a gamer feel free to create your own lists within your groups if you wish to. We feel this is part of the hobby and for those who enjoy doing so, they should be able to.

We have also included some mission types for players to play as one-off games. These are
designed to give players a starting point. However, we appreciate that many gamers enjoy creating their own scenarios and we would encourage you to do so.

The rules are designed for historical modern gaming offering guidance but are not overly prescriptive, thus encouraging players to use the feel of the game to guide themselves into making decisions on various aspects of tabletop combat.
