Rix A. Road to Baghdad

Osprey Publishing, 2011. — 105 p. — (Ambush Alley - Force on Force). — ISBN 9781472856199.Introduction:
Road to Baghdad, the first companion book for Force on Force, is somewhat of a “coming home” project. Our original rule set, Ambush Alley was written specifically to evoke the frantic clashes between well trained, technologically superior troops and highly motivated, poorly trained and equipped insurgents that characterized most of the engagements during the “march up-country” to Baghdad. As a result, you’ll find more “asymmetric” scenarios in this book than you’ll see in many others.It is our intent in this book to provide wargamers with a glimpse into the Coalition operations that struck Saddam Hussein’s regime like a thunderbolt and whet your appetites for further research into this brief but fascinating chapter in military history. Within these pages you’ll find a selection of scenarios representative of the actions that characterized Operation Cobra II up until the fall of Baghdad, along with organization guidelines for the forces involved in the conflict and write-ups for the vehicles they operated - basically everything you need to bring this theater to your tabletop!
