Special Ops: The Wargaming Journal - Issue #5 (Summer 2014)

Special Ops #5 has 6 articles, 2 ASL scenarios, 2 ASLSK scenarios, an ASL map board, and the Battle of Bushy Run, a complete game.

Featured articles cover ASL, Angola!, Lincoln's War, Storm over Dien Bien Phu, Last Chance for Victory, and It Never Snows.

The Battle of Bushy Run game uses a simplified version of Iwo Jima: Rage Against the Marines (in Operations Special Magazine Issue #1). The American Indian units use a concealed map and have dummy units to help hide their movement. The British force is a mix of soldiers, grenadiers, and scouts (who can reveal hidden Indian units). To increase replayability there are random events each turn (8 turns, 10 event chits, so 2 are not played each game...their identify is not revealed). Both sides have multiple ways in which they can secure victory.
