Thanks folks.
It was a damned nuisance having all the Mujahideen turn up in a clump in the first village and the fields/woods behind it- and no one on the valley edge/tree line

But yes it was a surprise!
But no ambushes - I could not throw a 9 or 10 to save my life
Good thing though is, my son is now hurling dice about the place like baseball pitcher (have to teach him a decent bowling action

).
