On November 11th 2006 at HMGS Fall In, Gettysburg. Mike Vogell presented the second JIHAD scenario "The Raid" . In this scenario 3 mechanized columns will enter the town of Rufee from the North, South and East to look for insurgents, arms caches, weapons of mass destruction, money and wanted war criminals. Here I will try to show you some of the action.

 
And overview of the town which has over 30 building most of which are from the Miniature Building Authority before the Americans enter.

When I post the rules on the web site it will have a full description of the intelligence gathering rules which work great, and could be applied to any period of gaming.
