If there's any BSP deployed for this mission let me know if someone can pick up the binder before next Friday or if I'll need to look to make the record sheets and pilots/crews available online.

Bryan: you are able to deploy conventional forces as reinforcements in addition to the mech lance.  Let me know if you're interested in doing so.

[ItsTehPope]

I'm able to play if needed.

[Ad Hoc]

All OPFOR sheets are printed.

[serrate]

Ok, we'll keep that map, not great but it could get worse.

Also, calling in Ice as reinforcements.

Alright

Pm sent

[agustaaquila]

There is a possibility that I may be out for the game.

Hopefully not, but I should know in the next few days.

(I'm sorry, it's late and I don't want to screenshot and upload the revised scenario since all that changed was the map size.)

NORTH

SOUTH

Rolling Hills 1.......Streams.........Woodland
Woodland............Large Lake1 ....Lakes

Deployment
Rangers: Deploy Last.  Must deploy within the boundaries of zone R, up to four full hexes away from the centerline of the board, on either the north or south far eastern maps.  Rangers must deploy in a column formation, with all members of one lance to the east, then all members of the next lance west of them, and then all members of the last lance west of the second lance.  March order is up to the players to decide.

Ranger Reinforcements: May enter on their initiative along the western map edge, or may delay their entry by 2 turns and enter from either Zone R-2 or R-3.  Their chosen zone (representing the route taken to rendezvous with the marching column) must be determined and written down prior to any enemy deployment.

Completely Deniable MIIO Force 1: The force listed as deploying CTR must deploy entirely within Zone W (half the width and height of the eastern mapsheets), only within hexes fully enclosed within the described zone.  The force must be divided into two distinct lances, and no members of 1 lance may deploy within 8 hexes of the other lance.

Completely Deniable MIIO Forces 2 & 3: The force listed as deploying S must deploy into zones S1 or S2.  The force listed as deploying N must deploy into zones N1 or N2.  One of each zone 1 AND zone 2 must be deployed into (ie, you can deploy in N1 and S2, or N2 and S1, but may not deploy into N1 and S1).  Units must deploy only into hexes fully contained within the zone; no half hexes.


Environmental Conditions
Depth 0 water: Any water hexes without a Depth listed on them are considered Depth 0.  As a reminder, Depth 0 water blocks infantry movement, and counts as ejecting into water, but vehicles can move through it and Mechs can run through it BUT it still requires a PSR for "entering water" to avoid falling in the hex.

Battlefield Support
Rangers: The Rangers are not expecting an attack and therefore have no access to BSP actions in this scenario.

Completely Deniable MIIO Force: This force IS expecting an attack, but seeing as how it's a discrete attack by units brought on-planet ostensibly to "help", pointing artillery pieces as "friendlies" or filing a flight plan with fully loaded attack birds which happens to overfly the Ranger travel path might raise suspicion.  The OPFOR has no access to BSP actions in this scenario.

Victory Conditions
Rangers
1) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 12 enemy units.
2)  Ensure that at least 2 of Crusher's Mechs are still capable of spending MP

Completely Deniable MIIO Force
1) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 8 enemy units
2) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 3 Mechs from Crusher Lance


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 environments MP penalties doesn't apply; or, more specifically, the Minimum Movement rule overrides it).

2) MIIO MechWarriors will fire upon ejected MechWarriors unless a Ranger target is equally as close or closer to the firing unit.  PCs who capture MIIO MechWarriors must make a 2d6 roll vs a TN 10 (+1 for each qualifying condition possessed by the Lance Leader: if your INT is 5+, if your Career/Soldier is 3+, if your Leadership is 3+, if you attended any Special Forces or Military Science MOS in Stage 3, if your EDG after the battle is 3+ [EDG spent during the scenario doesn't help]).  If the roll fails, the MIIO MechWarrior succeeds in suicide while in captivity.  If the roll passes the prisoner is secure, and the Davions will ransom back the MechWarrior for triple their standard rate as long as you agree to never mention the MechWarrior again. The TN to successfully recruit a MIIO MechWarrior is at a +2 penalty, and if you succeed in recruiting a Davion special operative, please inform the GM.

Reading the scenario I wish I were playing in it.  Good luck!

[deadlyfire2345]

Is the salvage still capped at 60%? I would like to argue that because this is an unplanned attack by someone outside of contract parameters that we should be able to keep what we get from this.

I like this quite a bit.....

I mean they dont want us to talk about this at all. Maybe they can give us some extra cap space or % or some of that hard to find clan tech


There will be some RP prolly here on this one from some people

[Hat]

Ok, as I won't be there this Saturday, here's what I'm thinking in terms of salvage.

1. The unit is only looking for the 2 LRM Carriers if they're in any condition to be salvaged.  It's not a big deal if they're not, so don't take risks.
2. Replace combat losses.
3. At this point I believe all lances are sitting on 6+ mechs in their stable.  Lances sitting below 10MM cash on hand can take something, even those that aren't PCs in the mission if it makes sense.  Just understand that if we eat away at all of our salvage pool, it limits what can be taken later, so please be reasonable.  Taelor: Please update the sheets as they don't reflect your current techs and mechs.
4. Don't exceed the salvage produced by the mission unless necessary.

Alright to make things easier on Rob

I will only bring the units I stated. I will print their sheets. Someone already did

banshee
centurion
victor
blackjack
battlemaster
javelin
shadowhawk
enforcer
valkyrie
jager
dervish

I dont have a marauder dervish enforcer wolfhound or tanks in color

[serrate]

Can bring:

Enforcer - desert camo
Wolfhound - camo or red
LRM Carrier - desert camo

I've got some others painted, but Ice has them covered.

I'll also bring additional tanks: unpainted versions, or we can proxy painted tanks. I only have one Alacorn though.

Not sure I can get a Warhammer painted up in time (for my own force), but I've got one in green. If someone has one in blue, let me know.

[Darrian Wolffe]

All minis are accounted for, all maps are accounted for.

Bryan, I'll bring a Lyran Guards Whammy for you. It's blue/white, at least.

(Also, now that I think of it, Warhammers seem to have been really scarce. I don't recall them coming up very often either as OPFOR or on the unit market.)

Thanks! I was surprised to find that the only Warhammers I even owned are one of the new ones from Wave 1 of the KS, a couple of the Robotech ones from that KS (one assembled/painted), and an old Battledroid version you traded me a decade ago that I've never been motivated to paint, because man is it ugly. No new metal ones, and not even an unseen one.
