Radio Dishdash’s Skirmish Sangin Brings The ‘Mog’ To Kickstarter
July 27, 2015 by stvitusdancern
Radio Dishdash Publishing has a new Kickstarter running until August 23rd for an expansion of the modern combat skirmish game, Skirmish Sangin. The new expansion brings to life the terrible events of October of 1993 in Mogadishu Somalia. The new expansion will be called the Day of the Rangers or Maalintii (day in Somali) Rangers.
The new expansion not only has a new rule book but a new set of Miniatures for US Army Rangers and US Army Delta. Depending on the level you pledge for you could also receive Humvees, building, and many different tokens.
It looks to be an amazing deal for a very good game. if you are into modern combat games you you should check out Skirmish Sangin. I am very excited to see this game grows and develops, there is so much unexplored territory when it comes to miniature gaming in this period.
There is a whole new set of challenges and tactics to develop for the modern gamer and the incredible about of technology that can be employed into a scenario is mind boggling. I plan on building an entire table based on campaigns over the past twenty years.
To me I have more of an attachment as I was a member of the military during this time and I will be able to see how to bring real training to the game. I have pledged in this Kickstarter and I am very excited to see what comes from Skirmish Sangin and Radio Dishdash Publishing.
Have you tried Skirmish Sangin?

I have and it is very good. Detailed and a realistic feeling game.
I wanted to get some modern rules for a while now so I definitely will go for it. Now the only thing I need is UH-60 in 1/48 scale…
…that’s why I play 20mm!
Black hawk down is what I would like to game the most. As an Englishman I have so much respect for the U.S servicemen who took part in this conflict under very difficult circumstances.
I’m been waiting to do this project fpr some time now, but I’ve been looking for a decent set of rules to game this period for a while, FoF is too abstract for me, I’m just wondering if Skirmish Sangin can cope with this level of game.
That is what this new expansion is based on. I will hopefully be getting a look at it this weekend at Gen Con.
Would it be possible to post a mini review of your first impressions ?
October of 93 . . . the month I was discharged. 🙂 God bless that DD-214.
Just getting into modern-era gaming myself. I’m tooling around asking people for advice on minis and rules sets. My first 60 or so Marines and Iraqi insurgents shipped out literally today. Now I’ll be building a crap-load of terrain (i.e., buildings) and looking around for a good rules set. Skirmish Sangin looks promising. I assume the base set is available via retail?
If you mean the rules n first couple of expansions then indeed they are. Conveniently you can get them in pdf straight off the website if you wish. I haven’t got them (yet) but everything I’ve heard so far makes them sound like a solid set.
