In this video we present a miniature game video for a 15mm recreation of part of the Battle of Al Jaber, fought between US Marines of Task Force “Ripper” and elements of 22nd Brigade, 5th Iraqi Mechanized Division on February 25, 1991.

This is the second “official” day of the Desert Storm ground invasion, even if artillery duels, reconnaissance raids, and advances across the Kuwaiti border had in fact already been in progress for weeks. The first Iraqi defense line was breached even before fighting officially started, while the second defense line fell on “G-Day” against only token resistance. On G-Day +1, however, Task Force “Ripper” of the 1st Marine Division ran across pitched resistance and local counterattacks at Al Jaber and the Al Burqan oil fields.

The system we’re using is a modification of Iron Fist Publishing’s “Battlegroup.”
