Black Hawk Down — 18 Hours in the City
October 3, 1993 — a routine snatch-and-grab turns into an 18-hour battle for survival. The Bakara Market district fills the board with tight alleyways, tin-roofed buildings, and stone walls. Two Black Hawk helicopters lie crashed in the streets, their rotors bent, surrounded by hastily built defensive perimeters. Rangers and Delta operators hold crash sites while a relief column of Humvees and Malaysian APCs fights through roadblock after roadblock. Somali militia swarm from every direction. Burning tires create chokepoints. The board captures the claustrophobic chaos of a fight where every alley was an ambush and every rooftop a firing position.
