Jungle Patrol - Warfighter PTO

Warfighter PTO

Our copy of Warfighter PTO arrived and we decided to play
a learn your enemy game before we build our campaign 

Jungle Patrol

We selected the Jungle Patrol mission which gave us 62 RP
to build our Marine force. We selected 2 Player Soldier (PS)
and two squad soldiers. Our patrol had 6 grenades, 3 rifles,
and a BAR. 



Our team deploys for jump off




We advance into the Native Gardens and are struck hard by two
stout units. After hard fighting and tossing a few grenades we clear
the garden. We lack good terrain cards so spend a few turns hoping
for something good but in the end to have any hope of succeeding 
in our mission we advance onto the beach. 





The beach is a brutal fight and even expending all of our remaining 
grenades we are barely holding on. One of our Player Soldiers is
on the jump off point trying to deal with Ambushers. After several
turns of back and forth we have eliminated most of the beach forces
as well as the Ambushers. We did lose one of our Squad Soldiers

Time is running out so we decided to risk pressing onto the Native Village





From the frying pan into the fire. We are now strung out and in
trouble. We failed to take out the Kamikaze and in fact didn’t fear 
him enough. He ran in a took a Player Soldier out with him in the 
Native Garden. The others survived the turn a retires from the mission

We rolled and amazing both Player Soldiers we good to return to duty,
one Squad Soldier was KIA, and the last was a medical discharge 

Conclusion 

The Japanese were a brutal foe and the terrain was unforgiving. 
We definitely accomplished learning more about what we want
in a force. Definitely load up on grenades and canteens. We should 
have game one of our campaign up soon. 

Warfighter is one of our favorite games and can be enjoyed solo
or cooperative. We greatly appreciate you reading our post and if 
so inclined we love comments and follows.

    1. It was and 6 hits with a small force was brutal but not as bad as the kamikaze!

  6. Dave, thanks for the visit and comment.
    The game is at my brothers so I’ll update the Soldiers we took in a few days. I’ll also better show our force before the next game.
    Equipment- we took lots of grenades which seem like a must take, I took binoculars which I would not take again as they are one use per mission so I’d rather had another grenade. My player soldier had Panic and Green. Green is tough to overcome. My squad soldier had Gung ho which was great. Hardy Hot is a good skill in the jungle. The environment costing us action contributed to our struggle. I promise better notes like this next time.

    1. Thanks Nate! Warfighter has become one of our top 5 games.
      I’d say whichever core set interest you most and then the expansion decks to flesh out forces. We really like how Airborne missions are handled. The modern set has a mega release shortly. We should have more play through sos soon.
