Emergency Miniature Work - 15mm USMC Super Cobra
Live Stream: 7PM UK / 2PM ET: 13 Hours (Benghazi 2012)
Today’s live stream will feature the pre-pre-pre-alpha play test of the “Thirteen Days to Thirteen Hours” Transit Game.
Thirteen Hours refers to the Benghazi Incident of September 11-12, 2012, where Libyan militia attacked US Ambassador and CIA annexes in the city of Benghazi.
The transit game will attempt to recreate the journey of six GRS private military contractors from the CIA annex to the Ambassador’s Compound, already under attack. Can these reinforcements arrive in time to help salvage the situation at the Ambassador’s Compound?
Historically they did not, because of a series of controversial delays and chain of command snarls that postponed their departure by up to 35 minutes. Here we’re imagining what might have been if they’d left for the Ambassador’s Compound when the attack first started.
The main point of the Transit Game will not be so much a “win or lose” situation, but to establish the start conditions of the main 28mm miniature game being built at Sitrep Podcast HQ in Chicago, Illinois.
The game features the GRS contractors of course, as well as hostile militia and the friendly “February 17 Brigade” militia, as well as lots of ambivalent militia that could join either side when they get done looting or fighting each other.
It promises to be a wild game, with neither knowing completely who’s really on their side.
We hope to see some of you there!
