PB55 has been on alert for the last two days, the special
force teams at the base reported major enemy forces in Azmakassar, the town a
few miles down the road. News from FOB
Breakbone is sparse, but it seems the insurgents are developing a major mid-summer
offensive. With 50% of the non-FOBBITs
on guard duty the patrol base waits for their HUMVEEs to return from a mission
to rescue a lost UN convoy. The muffled
sounds of a Patrol base dawn is smashed by a full salvo of 107mm rockets. The Hotakistani’s have requested the local
insurgents to prove themselves and overrun a UN base, and to massacre all
present for the camera’s of the world.
A local warlord, who in the recent weeks has been suspected to be behind the insurgency arrived at FOB Breakbone at dawn and asked to meet Major D. Zaster. The warlord after a long preamble finally told the Major, "Your base near Azmakassar is about to be attacked by the Haqiqa. We do not like Haqiqa." Major D. Zaster quickly woke the QRF platoon. But there preparations were interrupted by dull booms in the far east. The attack on Patrol Base 55 had begun.

point. AP12D8/AT4D8(H) 10” radius (-1D per two inches from centre). Otherwise roll for each 9 rockets, AP6D8/AT2D8
6” radius (-1D per inch from centre).

UN Artillery – 81mm Mortar in base. The FO on the hill can direct the 81mm Battery
to interdict a squad from Wave 2 or Wave 3, if the target is hit roll (TQ8 4+ to spot, then TQ8 4+ to hit) toll 6D12 Morale, if the roll
fails the whole Wave’s arrival is postponed by one turn. The targeted squad loses 1D6 men killed or wounded.
