I’m not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but it is kind of related to the ‘modern warfare’ theme.

What rule systems would work for a ‘Ghost Recon’ / Rainbow 6  type game ?
Are there any systems that allow for ‘hostage rescue’ style missions as featured in ‘SWAT’ (another video game series that has gone the way of the dodo 🙁 ) ?

Videogames tend to be great for such situations, because the ‘bad guy’ needs to be surprised (and lose ;-)).
I wonder if any rules allow for this sort of stuff on the table top without having to go to RPG’s (like the Merc:2000 supplement for Twilight 2k).

I know ‘Force on Force’ was mentioned in an article series by @oriskany however that website is pretty dead by internet standards (last blog entry almost 2 years ago … ).

@suetoniuspaullinus : great work as always

An interesting (and definitely politically sensitive topic) are ‘Operation Product’ and ‘Operation Kraai’ (operation Crow).

These are black pages from our history so information appears to be non existant.

It’s these operations that would later result in the hijacking of a train at ‘de punt’ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Dutch_train_hijacking )
