More warriors from the highland tribe on the trail
The Kpelle are beset by an Allosaurus
Out of the undergrowth
Next up: some tribal bandits using more modern weapons...

Kpelle Warriors
Some natives for the campaign - they may be a dangerous obstacle on the Perilous Trail, or might unite with the adventurers against the dinosaur menace

Dinosaurs Roam the Earth!
Some extra beasties have arrived for my Perilous Trail! game at Gaelcon in a couple of weeks.
You'll notice a distinct lack of herbivores...
Why not? Well two things:
1. In 28mm dinosaurs are more expensive and more difficult to transport to a convention than the 10mm versions I've been using previously. For that reason alone there's going to be less dinosaurs
2. I did notice that herbivores got less interest from players - some of that may have been due to the survive/protect nest style objectives they had, but it's no crime that people prefer more active/aggressive roles (especially in a one-off game)
The two larger creatures are from Papo - these are approx 1/40 and are a bit big, but will work fine I think.
Allosaurus
Spinosaurus
The smaller guys are from Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company (discontinued now I think)
Raptors
More Raptors
I think these are dwarf Allosaurs but I'm calling them Achillobators (just because of the cool name you understand)
I'll see if I can get some shots of them alongside 28mm miniatures as well, just so you get a good sense of scale.

Operation Snakepit - Scenarios
These scenarios allow you to play out actual engagements from late 2007 in Afghanistan. In most cases I have scaled down the scenarios to match my modest collection and for playability purposes.
I have used Stephen Grey's book Operation Snakebite / Into the Viper's Nest as my main source – doubtless you shall find inaccuracies and mistakes below; they are all mine.
The main effort to retake Musa Qala was undertaken by Task Force 1 Fury (comprising 1st Battalion of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment). The scenarios below represent the preparatory and peripheral missions of the operation.
Download the PDF
In time I will update this document with scenarios representing those core missions – but also updating the campaign outcomes affecting TF1 Fury's engagements.
