Souq el Gharb (Lebanon 1983) - 15mm Wargame
We’re back with another modern-era wargame tabletop battle report. This time, we’re using Mark Ritchie’s “Tactical Combat” system in 15mm to recreate the 1983 Battle of Souq el Gharb. Part of the Lebanon Civil War, the battle pitted Syrian-backed Druze militia and PFLP remnants against the recovering Lebanese Army in a small village southeast of Beirut.
It’s a conflict not often seen on the wargaming table. What small, half-forgotten corners of military history has your group explored?
