The Stew

Site A - Balanced Scenario

Mission Briefing

Foremost General
Bok Sorak

Be silent, Morats. The coward frog told us that no-one was to discover us here until our moment of glory. Our jammers will stop their instruments from detecting us, so we only need to lie in this filth for a few minutes until the humans pass.

Oh, quit your whimpering, Gaheku. If you think that's bad, you should try de-glanding a Preta in heat. Makes this stew smell like a fresh-picked flower, I'll tell you.

...

...hmmm.

You know, Commander, it occurs to me that if we kill them all very quickly, none will survive to escape the jammers and tell anyone they found us.

And then we won't need to lie in all of this shit.

...

Yes, alright, it would probably have been better if I thought of that plan first.

Oh, be quiet, Gaheku. Go find some human blood to rinse yourself off with.

Mission Objectives

5 Kill more than 225 enemy Army Points
3 Kill between 151 and 225 enemy Army Points
2 Kill between 75 and 150 enemy Army Points

1 Evacuate the Wounded Sweeper
2 You have two Classified Objectives worth 1pt each.

2 Your Spec-Ops either damages an enemy model, or succeeds on a roll that completes an objective.

Terrain

A public sewage throughway underneath Syldavia.
The Stew: The rivers of filth are considered difficult terrain. If a model becomes prone within The Stew (whether intentionally or due to falling unconscious or failing a guts roll), it must succeed on a normal PH roll or suffer a wound as it drowns. Non-Unconscious models get a +3 bonus to this roll.

Deployment

Both players will deploy on opposite sides of the game table, in a standard Deployment Zone 12 inches deep.

Special Rules & Objectives

Underground: This mission takes place underground, so no level of Airborne Deployment may be used.
Jammer: An advanced jamming system is interfering with communications in the sewer. Long-range transmissions are hopeless, but short-range comms may be able to break through the static.

At the start of each player's turn, before generating orders, each of that player's troopers must make a BTS roll against Damage 10. On a failure, that model becomes Irregular until the start of its owner's next turn. A model in a link team that fails its BTS roll may remain within the link and move when the fireteam moves, but will not be counted toward the size of the fireteam for the purposes of calculating link bonuses (e.g., If 2 members of a 5-model fireteam fail their BTS saves, all five may move together; but when the link leader performs actions, the fireteam will be considered to have three members).

Rescue the Sweeper: The wounded remnants of the mercenary sweeper team have scattered and are hiding in drain pipes, waiting for rescue (or, if things don't go well, waiting to be captured).

As a short skill while in base contact with the front of a drain pipe, any model may roll a die to search for Sweepers. On a roll of 17+, a sweeper is located; on a failure, the drain pipe is empty. More than one Sweeper can be found in this way. If all but one pipe is searched and turns up empty, then the last unsearched pipe automatically contains a Sweeper.

At the end of the game, each player who rescued or captured a wounded Sweeper will secure the Druze Sweeper Campaign Reward for his faction.

Campaign Reward: Druze Sweeper [Ally]

MI	Druze
	MOV	CC	BS	PH	WIP	ARM	BTS	W	S
	4-2	14	12	11	13	3	0	1	2
Abilities	Forward Observer
Equipment:	X-Visor

An Ally is a model that has joined your cause and will fight for one player in your faction for the remainder of the league. Once secured in a mission, the Ally must be allocated to one player in the Faction. The Ally may be included in that player's army in all subsequent rounds without paying its Cost or SWC.

If an Ally ends a game in the Unconscious, Dead, Seed-Embryo, or Sepsitorized state, it is subject to the campaign rules for Character Death. If it fails its Medevac and/or Cubevac rolls, the Ally is lost for the remainder of the league.
