DeploymentAll non-Ranger, non-Allied units deploy first.Jade Falcon Local Forces: ECM Turrets may be placed on any Red Diamond Hex. The LRM Turret may be placed on any Red Diamond Hex located on elevated (level 1+) terrain.
Base Civilian Units: At least 2, and not more than 3, civilian units must be placed within 2 hexes of each circled letter (Circle-A, Circle-B, etc). Civilian units may not deploy into or on top of buildings. No more than 1 infantry unit may deploy near each circled letter.
Base Turrets: Base turrets are placed on Red Star hexes.
Jade Falcon Primary OPFOR: The first Star of CJF Mechs (Dragonfly-Marauder) must deploy within 3 hexes of Hex #1, but not inside the base walls. The second Star of CJF Mechs (Thor-Mad Cat) must deploy within 4 hexes of Hex #2. The third Star of CJF Mechs (Thor-Flashman) must deploy within 4 hexes of Hex #3. The Elementals must deploy within 6 hexes of Hex #4, and may deploy inside of, or on top of, buildings in that radius.
Jade Falcon Force #2: Mech units of this group enters through zone Red A on their initiative on Turn 1. Elemental units in this group deploy on board within 6 hexes of Zone Red A at the same time as all other Jade Falcon forces.
Ranger Forces: Enters the board on Turn 1. Each lance enters through a different Blue Zone (1-6). No lance may repeat zones. These zones are shared with the Allied units.
Allied Forces: Enters the board on Turn 1 through a SINGLE Blue Zone (1-6); all Mechs and vehicles enter through the same zone. These zones are shared with the Ranger units.
Environmental ConditionsLight Rain: Conventional Infantry Units may either move or shoot during a turn, not both.
Light Urban: All Buildings have standard CF for their type, and check for basements as normal. Wall and Turret hexes have only 100CF instead of 200 CF. Only hexes marked "Paved" will incur skidding checks. All other hexes which look like "pavement" on the board is actually perforated steel plate (Marston Mat) and packed sand, and therefore do not induce skidding checks.
Battlefield SupportRangers: The Rangers have 0 points of battlefield support available to them. They may make any appropriate form of air attack/defense, to the normal 2x sortie per ASF limit, but must determine which fighter is chalked to which duty prior to the game (ie, you can't suddenly decide your T-bird is loaded with bombs); the same ASF may not engage in both air attack and air defense sorties. There are no pre-plotted hexes for artillery. Each Ranger artillery piece may make up to 4 total attacks before it must displace (no longer available) to hide from headhunter teams. This means you should have a total of 8 shots of Long Tom and 4 shots of Thumper artillery at your discretion.
Clan Jade Falcon: Jade Falcon forces have no artillery and unknown air assets, although air assets are most likely minimal.
Victory ConditionsRangers1) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 7 units from the Civilian group, at least 10 units from the Primary OPFOR, at least 3 Mech units from Jade Falcon Force #2, and 5 of the 6 Base Turrets (not the Local Force turrets).
2) Both Paladin Lance and the Lyran Allies must remain at 50% strength (of total deployed units) or better, and the Allied Marauder and Blackjack must survive the scenario in a state capable of spending MP without requiring a PSR.
*Infantry, Battle Armor units and turrets cannot contest the battlefield, and therefore need not be entirely eliminated to determine 'clean sweep' status.
OPFOR1) Destroy, cripple, or render incapable of spending MP, at least 15 attacking units, at least 3 of which must be Mech units from Paladin Lance and at least 4 of which must be from the Lyran Allies.
2) Suffer no more than 5 units destroyed, crippled, or rendered incapable of spending MP from the Civilian group, no more than 8 units from the Primary OPFOR group, and no more than 3 of the Base Turrets.
MISCELLANEOUS
1) Exiting the battlefield requires a unit to remain stationary at the board edge for 1 turn. Only a single spent MP is required to move offboard (ie, the environmental MP penalties doesn't apply; or, more specifically, the Minimum Movement rule overrides it). Civilian vehicles and infantry may not flee the battlefield.
2) OPFOR MechWarriors and Turrets will ignore any ejected Ranger or Allied MechWarriors in this scenario.
3) Jade Falcon Clan Mechwarriors will now fight completely freely and without restraint against all units, save for declaring physical attacks. If at least 3 Falcon Mech units are crippled or destroyed as a result of either physical attacks or artillery, Falcons will be allowed to make physical attacks beginning in the next turn after the 3rd Mech is crippled/destroyed.
4) Civilian infantry and vehicle units may not move into building or wall hexes, though they may move on top of buildings if movement allows.
