Soviet-Afghan War
On Christmas Eve, 1979, Soviet paratroopers seized the airports at Bagram and Kabul. Three days later, motorized infantry of the Soviet 40th Army crossed the border into the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan. The following nine years saw a fierce guerilla war as the Soviets with their communist Afghan allies battled the Muslim rebels, the Mujahedeen. It was a war of small units and small unit leaders and one the Soviets were not prepared to fight. Now you can plan an ambush against a Soviet convoy or try to take a mountain redoubt from the Mujahedeen with support from Hind helicopters and T-62 tanks.
