Colombia Jungle Raid 1989: Sitrep 6 vs. Oriskany Jim (Community Wargame - Sitrep Skirmish system)
Join Bill (Sitrep 6) and Oriskany Jim as they head into the Colombian highlands circa 1989. It’s the height of the “Escobar Era” drug war against the Medellin Cartel, and law enforcement is headed into the jungle to root out another of the Cartel’s labs. Government forces will include troops of Policía Nacional de Colombia’s “Search Bloc” – backed up by Americans in the DEA.
But will they be facing Cartel thugs? AUC right-wing militia? Marxist guerrillas of the FARC movement? Innocent farmers? All of the above? Tune in and find out as the Sitrep Podcast pivots back to our “Modern Warfare” roots.

The main foci of the 1980s-1990s phase of the Colombian Drug War. All factions were heavily active in the country's capital Bogata, while the Medellin and the Cali Cartels were the most powerful narco factions at the time. Other factions include the Colombian government, the United States, smaller cartel factions, ultra-right wing paramilitaries like the AUC, and remnants of Marxist groups like FARC. Yeah, it's a free-for-all.
The map for today's game, in the Zargosa Highlands northeast of Medellin. Drug labs, processing stations, and trucking depots are marked as government objectives.
The assault squad of Nacional Policia Colombia's "Search Bloc". They also have two American DEA agents with them and a criminal informant who may be able to convince cartel members not to resist, surrender, or even turn against their former bosses. In modern "non-kinetic" warfare, you rarely know who your friends or enemies truly are.
The Cartel "troops" assigned to protect this part of Escobar's narco-empire. Talabera is the kingpin here, the government player gets additional points for capturing him alive.
