Battle Report: Australian 4th RAR/C on a "Bag Job" (capture enemy leader) in East Timor
A little while ago, Dylan and I had a great game of Sitrep Skirmish for ANZAC Day, recreating the Battle of the Same (pronounced “sam-ay”) in the former Portuguese colony (and Indonesian province) of East Timor. This was part of Operation Astute, where elements of 4th Royal Australian Regiment / Commando were tasked with bringing in Alfredo Reinado, a rebel officer who’d broken away from the military in East Timor. Historically, this action took place on 4 March 2007, and Reinado actually escaped. We’ll see if his luck holds out again on our tabletop.
