Years ago I playtested a scenario for Combat Mission based in the Belgian Congo. I found the scenario at a website and this info. Brief Description In early August 1964 a force of several thousand 'Simba' rebels emerged out of the jungles to overrun goverment positions in Stanleyville, a city of 300,00 deep in the newly independent Republic of Congo. The rebels took more than 1,600 hostages and declared that any attempt by the Congolese army to recapture the city would precipitate the killing of the hostages. 111 days later, 340 paratroopers of the 1st Battalion, Belgian Paracommando regiment jumped out of 5 USAF C-130s and drifted down onto the tarmac of the Stanleyville Airport. 'Dragon Rouge', a multi-national rescue operation, was underway... Author Comments This scenario attempts to recreate the multi-national rescue operation in Stanleyville on November 24, 1964.
