DeploymentPrimary OPFOR: Deploys second, within 3 hexes of the north map edge prior to Turn 1.
OPFOR Reinforcements: Enters the board anywhere along the south map edge on their initiative on Turn 7.
Ranger Forces: Deploys First on the center mapsheet, and may choose to designate up to 2 Mech units, including the liaison, to deploy via Hidden Unit rules.
Environmental ConditionsDusk (short): All weapons fire suffers a +1 penalty to hit beginning on Turn 12. Searchlights do not avoid this penalty, but All-weather Fighter (or the Night Vision Trait) does. On Turn 16, normal Full Moon Night rules come into effect, including all normal searchlight rules.
Searchlight equipped OPFOR units: Lynx
Water By Whatever Japanese For Brita Is, Which Is Probably Just Brita: Water on these maps uses normal water rules; it is not tainted or hazardous in any unusual way.
Battlefield Supportnone
Victory ConditionsRangers1) Destroy or render incapable of spending MP at least 5 units from the Primary OPFOR
2) Prevent more than 2 noncrippled primary OPFOR units from exiting via the south map edge.
OPFOR1) Destroy, cripple, or render incapable of spending MP, at least 3 Ranger units, including the liaison.
2) Sucessfully exit at least 3 noncrippled units from the south map edge.
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). Convoy units may only exit from the southern board edge.
2) OPFOR MechWarriors will attempt to capture any ejected Ranger MechWarriors in this scenario, unless a Ranger BattleMech target in LOF is equally as close (or closer) than the ejected MechWarrior, or the Ranger BattleMech target is within 8 hexes and subject to a valid LOF in any case. OPFOR MechWarriors will attempt to kill any ejected liaison pilots in this scenario; as long as no Ranger units are a valid target within LOF and within 8 hexes of the firing Draconis unit. KIA liaisons can have contract implications later in the Contract.
