The battle for Grozny, the capital of the small Russian Republic of Chechnya, took place in January 1995.

It pitted a hastily assembled and unprepared Russian force against a Chechen force of regulars and guerrillas equipped with Russian weapons and a belief in their cause.

The Chechens held their own for three weeks but eventually lost the city to the Russian armed forces in late January (the Chechens retook the city in August 1996).

Both sides learned or relearned many lessons of urban combat, most of them the hard way.

Awesome pics as per usual.  Is it Force on Force or another gaming system?

We have played this game a number of times, Force on Force and also Bolt Action, i think we are going down that road and doing club rules so the game can pick up speed and find some system to not use as many chit markers becomes annoying at times.  :coolsmiley:

Have you or your group tried the Chain Reaction 2 (2Hour Wargames) system?  The rules are now free.  I'm reading them and want to give them a go.  I gave up on Force on Force (just wayyyyy too much abstraction for me).
