Breakout at Anzio - 80th Anniversary
Soviet Spetsnaz GRU vs. Mujahadeen - Afghanistan 1985
The Sitrep Podcast returns to its roots for some hard-core modern special operations wargaming, but with a decidedly “red” flavor. That’s right, it’s time for a look at how Uncle Gorbachev’s baddest boys might’ve tackled a typical day at the office in the war-torn highlands of Afghanistan.
In particular, we’re looking at 411th Independent Special Operations Detachment (22nd Special Service Brigade GRU, 40th Combined Arms Army), historically tasked with interdicting mujahedeen supply convoys coming across from Pakistan.
Will they intercept the latest shipment of rebel arms?
Will their evac arrive before they’re overrun by the mujahedeen?
Will they run across any CIA operators who of course were “never there?”
Tune in and find out!
Sunday June 13 – 7PM UK, 2PM East US
Here is the map for today's game. Yes, the terrain is a little rough. This is where 411th Spetsnaz Detachment / 22nd Special Service Brigade GRU will be trying to seal off arms and supply routes to the mujahadeen across the border from Pakistan.
Spetsnaz is ready to go, with AK-74s, Dragunov SVDs, RPGs, GP-25 grenade launchers, and PKM medium machine guns. Of course we have the "afghantzy" style bush hat and the distinctive Spetsnaz camouflage.
Mi-8 Hip transport birds to give the Spetsnaz operators a ride to the target.
That's a lot of mujj ... and yes, a CIA "advisor" is with them.

Zooming in, we get specific about the narrow mountain passes where mujahadeen are trying to get weapons across the border.
