Little Wars "Game to be GM-ed"

 

        I have been chatting with the boys. We are trying to organize our games in a way that supports running a Warmaster or Epic tourney. Or both. It would make no sense to compete against the Tourney time slot. Nor do we wish to force player or ourselves to choose between the tourney or GM-ing. Of course one of us will need to TO and/or cover for the odd player numbers.

        I am planning on RF&F, FoF, and the tourney. The RF&F, I will run twice. The FoF once or twice. And I want to play in the Tourney.

        Which FoF to run? I need a more than two player scenario. At least 4 players, hopefully 6. At first I thought Africa. Then USCM landings in WWII. Now I am just about set on the exmilitary/civilian effort to extract our allies from Afghan.

        "For American Veterans, there was no issue more urgent. No bond more unifying than getting our Allies out of Afghanistan. Organizations collaborated and shared information - a rarity in the often cutthroat and competitive space of nonprofits. American Veterans worked on a schedule many began to refer to as 22/7: two hours of sleep a day to be just functional enough to continue working around the clock for the safe passage of our Afghan Allies. 

    Yet every day, we receive hundreds of desperate messages begging our group to help with evacuation and safe passage out of Afghanistan. We learn of families slowly starving to death, fathers choosing to sell one daughter so that the other four will have food, of punishments so brutal that death seems the only escape. There is no respite from messages from our Afghan Allies because we are the last hope they have. Whatever your feelings may be about immigration at the southern border, realize that these people, our Afghan Allies are not random people showing up at the border. They are people who have fought and bled alongside our men and women in uniform for a generation. They are people who finally felt a taste of freedom as their country spent two decades with Americans in it. 

    After two decades of war, Americans are war-weary. But leaving our partners - our Allies to whom we promised Special Immigrant Visas upon good and faithful service to America - is quite simply, un-American. Our Afghan Allies had our backs. They slept next to American troops. They pointed out which food was a good idea to eat at the local market, and quietly referenced the best ones to skip. They somberly grieved our wounded and killed American soldiers as they were sent back to the United States. In many cases, our Afghan Allies carried the bodies of wounded and killed U.S troops to safety. "

        I have all ready violated my 2022 year plan. 28, 20mm dudes ordered. Jesus. 

      Now I need to sort order a scenario and design a table.
