Games, Games, and Wargames (and Books and Movies) Oh my!

Now that Fall In is behind, I am working more on the Force 10 campaign that I would like to start next year.  Some of the figures that I used in the Commando Raid game will make appearances in the Force 10 game also. Keith Mallory (Robert Shaw)    Miller (Edward Fox) - Explosives and "Whiz Bang" expert A couple of British that may be used.  Since I am combining the book, movie, and a few other sources, it is tough knowing what I want to use for the game.

The four missions were to get through the boom on the river, rescue the missionaries at the monastery,  find the consulate people and rescue them, and rescuing some others ( I thought I had a photo of all four mission sheets but must have missed one).  Each team was competing one of the missions at the same time.  When you were done, or time ran out, you would move to the next one.  You weren't necessarily doing them in the order of the movie.  We started out with the river boom, went to the monastery, then the consulate, and then the last one. Each table had one or two Chinese players, and there was one or two Japanese players.  The Japanese would rotate from table to table as the card for them was drawn.   A different GM would run each mission.  Cards were drawn from a standard deck and based...
