SCENARIO

1FORCE RECONNAISSANCEOctober 2884

Seeking the Mercenary front line command,the 663rd Assault Reconnaissnce Troops approachedChattering City. Though there was no indication that

Mercenary forces would be scarce, the decision wasmade for this to be the debut of the NeuSpotter. Unlikethe sluggish Krte, it was stealthier, but couldnt stand upin a ght.

A platoon of SAFS was the last thing theyexpected to nd.

Reconnaissance: When a NeuSpotter ends its movementin the same hex as an Objective marker, starting on the next

turn it may attempt to escape the map. Each NeuSpottermay do this for a single Objective. A unit that leaves themap in this way is removed from the game.

PK41: Each PK41 (The fuselage of the Hornisse) carries2 NeuPanzerfaust rounds. When a PKA (or Gustav) endsits movement in the same hex as a PK41, it can reload, upto 2 rounds. Place a numerical marker under the PK41 toindicate how many rounds have been removed.

Strahl Troops: If two NeuSpotters using theReconnaissance rule escape the map after touching the twonon-dummy Objective markers, it is a Strahl victory.

Mercenary Soldiers: As long as a Strahl victory isprevented, the Mercenaries are victorious.

The AFS of veteran pilot Fink had not

returned. Stopping to rest in a nearby town whilesearching for him, his platoon found an enemy forceinstead.

The AFS were no match for the forces,including the new Gustav, so the fate of the 34th AFSPlatoon would depend on the arrival of allies.

Prepared for urban combat, and pre-loaded with a sophisticatedurban combat AI, the Jagdpanzer NutRockers of the Strahl Troopsare able to make defensive attacks out to 5 hexes, instead of the

usual 3 hexes.Units can only exit the map from hexes 0112, 0113, and 0114.Exiting from hexes 0112 and 0114 costs 1 movement point.Exiting from hex 0113 costs movement point. Once off the map,a unit cannot return.

After turn 10, calculate the score for each side as follows.

Both players: Tally the defensive rating (or dog- ght rating forair units) of defeated enemy units to determine the points scored(exclude any units that have escaped the map).

Strahl Troops: The sum of the defensive ratings of all MercenaryTroops remaining on the map, including any damaged units (A or

M condition markers) is added to the score.

Mercenary Soldiers: For every AFS of the original squad thatescapes the map, add 2 points. However if the unit is damaged(with an A or M condition marker), add only 1 point. Units otherthan the AFS that escape are not counted toward the score.

After combining the appropriate totals above, if the Mercenaryplayer has at least 15 points more than the Strahl player, it is aMercenary victory, otherwise the Strahl player wins.

Morale was up. All thanks to the combination

of the Sand Stalker and AFS, making rapid deploymentand recovery possible along the front.

This would be the rst campaign for theKuritan Corps.

But there had been an information leak, andnow a signi cant Strahl combat force was laying in waitin the forest, along the highway, like highwaymen ofhundreds of years ago.

And like those highwaymen, they were intenton violence.

4 ASSAULT CROSSING Late 2885

An opportunity to launch a counterattack had

developed. The Mercenary Soldiers, accompanied bypowerful air support, started a moonlight river crossing.

With PKA and NutRocker in short supplyon the Strahl front, there was a greater reliance on theSphinx and its anti-tank rockets to guard the river. TheDoll House would be assigned to counter- re.

After a erce exchange, the Mercenary troopsmanaged to build a bridgehead across the river. Thebridges had been made at great expense-of lives andequipment.

Turn 1: Skip the air combat phase, and the Strahl players phase,start with the Mercenary players phase. Mercenary units maymove twice on the rst turn, but may not engage in close quarterscombat.

River: The road on map 2 is regarded as a river. Where pathscross the river (hexes 0807, 1607, and 2007) are bridges.

Spotters are not needed for the Sphinx to re indirectly as far asthe river hexes. If a hover unit becomes immobilized while overthe river, it is eliminated.

Retreat: The Strahl player can retreat units off the north edge ofmap 4. The Strahl player loses half of the victory point value forunits that retreat. Moving off the map costs 1 movement point.

Both Players: Total the defense rating of defeated enemy units(dog- ght rating for air units). Exclude enemy units that haveretreated. Any enemy units with A or M markers on the map countfor half their value (drop fractions). If at the end of the game thereare no intact Mercenary Soldiers north of the river, it is a Strahlvictory. Otherwide if the point difference between the two playersis 5 or less, it is a draw. If the difference is 6 or more, it is a victoryfor the player with the higher total.

SAFS, Doll House, and other allied units

gathered secretly. Recruits and veterans alike wouldparticipate in the secret maneuvers known as OperationSuper Hammer. They managed a level of secrecy sostrict that detecting the activity with NeuSpotters wouldnot have been possible. Anything short of an eye in thesky would not have noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks to the Strahls satellite system now inorbit, their troops were prepared.

In 2883 a weapon was introduced whichoverturned all previous notions of combat and began

a new era in ground warfare. The Armored FightingSuit started as a reengineering of labor suits, used inconstruction. When it was nished it was found in thefront lines, changing the course of the warfare, and theweapon of choice for guerilla warfare.

No one could have predicted the attack onthe Landing Ship Division by 14 suits, and those whoknew about the attack couldnt predict the devastatingoutcome of the surprise attack. The impact of this newAFS weapon in the hands of trained pilots assured thatit would spread, along with this new war, across all ofthe earth.

BATTLES LOST AND WONSCENARIO

17A Mercenarys primary concern was meeting the quota of defeated enemies de ned by their

contract. Success could lead to higher pay or vacation time when it came time for contract renewalin

addition to a distinguished service record.This sometimes led to priority being given to con rmed kills over sound tactics, particularly with a

force composed of several competing teams

Breakthrough StrategySCENARIO

18The AFS is a high speed ghting unit, capable of

quickly breaking through enemy lines and holding territory, werethe words of 2nd Lieutenant Skinner Doratti, who participated inthe rst battle to use AFS, in June 2883. With its increased usageover two years, the battle eld came to be populated with manyprofessional engineers and mechanics to maintain the machines,but victory still came down to the do-or-die spirit of the front linesoldier, as he would say.

The heart of Second Lieutenant Conan

was heavy with the loss of so many subordinatesto the unmanned weapons of the Strahl. Bazookaarmed NeuSpotters and the slug-like F-boot werebecoming more common among the Strahl desertforces; cheaper to station there than a manned unit.After seeing so many friends fall victim to them, he

With this scenario a special concealment rule is used.The Strahl troop player does not place concealed units onthe map; their hex location should be recorded and thetokens set aside. Strahl units that are concealed remainconcealed until they move or attack, hiding under the sand.The infantry squad is the exception and can be found bythe Mercenary Troop player by using a J40(S). Every turn,during the troop phase J40(S)s assigned to ground supportcan be placed on a hex on the map board. If the infantryunit is within that hex, or the 6 adjacent hexes, the StrahlTroop player should announce so, and the unit is revealed.

On map board 6, hex number 2205 and the six surroundinghexes are Hill 91. If the Mercenary troops have 4 units onthe hill at the end of the game, they are victorious. TheStrahl force is victorious if this is prevented.

FASEREI was a success within therst seven minutes. All initial target points were

occupied, and a panic spread through the Strahl

army that lasted for a week. The front moved threehundred kilometers, allied damage was negligible,and victory parties celebrated the achievement allacross the Earth. However, the Strahl main forcemanaged to escape destruction. F. Rashutendolf, nowsenior general of the Strahl European forces, sentfresh troops as reinforcement before the forces werecompletely overrun.
