I could probably win the scenario but I'd be lucky not to have more issues than what you had as I would probably play aggressive as well. Especially if I could create a gap big enough to stay at long range of the dropship. I will still pass as it is a given choice verse order. The unit needs as many bodies especially if we have back to back scenarios. Especially the lovely base defense that may come up again.

No problem.  Skipping out on a Solo Mission is always a possibility.

Huh. Good to know for the future.  FWIW, that's not in the rules.

It is.  Just not the way you think it is.

Essentially, there's no penalty for failing an Individual Scenario (ie, "Solo Mission"), and so if a player skips it, it just essentially "counts as" being lost.  It's a function of the rules, not a rule itself.  Brandon could have passed the mission on to somebody else if he didn't have the IRL ability/schedule to run the scenario, but since he does, then it can't be passed on to another person. 

Therefore, we could technically say "the scenario happens, Ice Lance didn't show up, Ice Lance fails the objective, nothing changes."  However, just saying "I choose to skip" is sufficient.

Finally, there's a couple of solos which are unskippable, and are technically unpassable.  Usually Ambushes and the like.  If someone has a genuine schedule issue, then we handle it on a case by case basis - usually my moving the scenario to the following month.  Since nobody would think of being such a poor sport to use their "schedule" as a way to get out of playing an unskippable scenario, I feel that is sufficient.

Thanks for the clarification.
