- In this episode, Little Wars TV re-fights the deadliest urban engagement the US Marines have seen since Vietnam. Josh leads a round table discussion among the club's military veterans to review the background leading up to Operation Phantom Fury in late 2004. Woody recounts his first-hand experience in Iraq, and then four players fight the wargame on an incredible 8'x6' tabletop with 20mm miniatures and the rules "Force on Force." Can the Marines sweep this neighborhood of the Jolan District in Fallujah, or will the insurgents spring the perfect ambush? Find out this week on Little Wars TV!
Visit www.LittleWarsTV.com for bonus content and much more! The bloopers for this episode and the extended round table discussion will each be available on our website next week. But check back here on TH-cam for the "Force on Force" rule review and our first two-minute terrain tutorial.

I'll try to watch this, but I served in Desert Storm, and this content just effects me emotionally, which is just me, nothing wrong with what and how you all are doing this. There's nothing wrong at all with what you all are doing, and I really love the way you are presenting the content and the way this vid starts out. But I had to pause it to finish my comment here. Additionally, my middle son served 2012-2016 with the Marine Corps, two middle east deployments, and it all just hits too close to home for me. I start to break down when I see or think of our troops in harm's way. It just brings on a strong reaction. I'll come back to this and see if I can get all the way through the vid at a later time. You guys are special, don't stop what you're doing! I'm a huge fan of yours!
I'm a Vietnam veteran. I Was with the 101st Airmobile Div. I was a military correspondent for the division which means I did my writing and photography from the combat I witnessed while the division was in combat. I didn't set at a desk at the division HQ. The Vietnam war would make a great game!
Complaining about 14 year old MRE's? I was given 20 year old C rats from WW II, dead before I was born!
"lifeforms that make it not vegan at this point." I died at that comment.
Thank you so much to all of you for your service and for making this video. I was a USMC 0311 from 2000-2004. My MEU was diverted in Jan 03 and I invaded from Kuwait on 21MAR03. I joined the Army as an 11Bang-Bang in Jan06. I retreaded because I couldn't hack it in the 1stCivDiv. (Joined the Army because I didn't know how to use the internet. And my phone book was out dated. ... like a bad map in pre-internet LandNav hahaha). I was medically discharged in 09 after my 3rd tour. (2nd tour was 18months straight extended for the surge in 06-08). I saw every phase with everything from iron sights as a Marine in the invasion, to the surge to reconciliation. In every Iraqi clime from rural Basra province to Sadr City patrolling the Wall on Rte Gold. I have struggled every single day from 09 to 2019. Seeing your game (and how to build) has made me more excited than I remember since being in combat. Thank you! I am building mine now. It sounds weak, but I feel so much release watching this that my eyes are watering. Thank you all. Semper Fi, Cav Leads the Way, SSGT E.W.
I’m an Afghanistan and Middle East veteran. I have no issue with contemporary conflict WARGAMES. WARGAMES are exactly that,.. GAMES. I also helped train Marines in 2004 as part of an Australian Army Training Assistance Team member during the surge whilst the Fallujah operation was evolving. Implementing ‘lessons learnt’ was fascinating
I hope you guys read your comments because I want to tell you, I absolutely love this video’s format. A deep historical discussion along with game play to compliment it. +1 sub and thank you all for your service.
I wish there was more contemporary war games. I'd quite like something that showed a "what if..." style game using modern nation's and their equipment/units.
This was done very well guys. I really liked the fact you included vets and asked how they felt about gaming what they lived. Great, great work.
if this was World War 2, the doctrine would be: drop pamphlets, wait 24 hours for the civilians to evacuate and then... well... ask Heroshima and Nagasaki what comes next.
I'm personally uncomfortable playing "Modern" games, but have never let that roll over into disliking the genre, or thinking badly of those who play it.
I keep thinking about picking this up. My main gaming buddy and I both went to Afghanistan twice each (Canadian infantry), and we discussed playing Afghanistan on the table top. I even still have a satalite image map from my first firefight, so could really set up a realistic scenario. I am hoping to do that when my daughter is older to help give vissuals to stories.
I was in Fallujah with 2/2 Marines back in 2005/6 .The conversation was interesting and enjoyed the game. The background info really adds to the Gaming.
My lord do you guys deserve more views, awesome work, great production value!
This is great content. The way you explain the history before every fight is just amazing. I'm so happy I found this channel, game on boys!

In the 1980's in the Australian Army, we had a 24 hour ration pack that was about double those MRE's and came in 5 flavors, Hunger is the best sauce, but you would trade with your mates to get the bits that you liked. I went to fort Ord in 1987 and they gave us your ration packs and I like the Frank and Beans just add hot water!!
Thank you all for your service, and may you all live a happy, and peaceful life. I just subscribed so I'll catch up on the other videos soon.
another fantastic video, such high production quality and an interesting subject indeed.
that round table discussion was quite interesting, will definitely watch it. and looking forward to the rules look through.
