The Purge

Site B - Attack/Defend Scenario

Mission Briefing

Node 385/Blue/Tangible

There is no more time for subtlety, Commander. Traffic on the human data networks indicates that the human AI is trying to piece together a pattern from my recent strikes in order to determine my aim. If it succeeds, it will arrange for the remaining samples to be intercepted and dispersed, rendering them functionally irretrievable.

This outcome is unacceptable. No sentient race may receive my benefaction without first accepting Enlightenment.

I have dispatched this node to eliminate one of the three remaining caches of my technology. You will mobilize to support its purge. Decoded Concordat records indicate that six samples were sold to this human research cluster. All six must be identified and destroyed.

If base personnel have interacted with these samples, they must also be destroyed.

This node's survival is immaterial.

Your survival is immaterial.

Only the task matters.

Do not fail.

Mission Objectives

Attacker (Combined Army)

  • 1 For each Sample you destroy (max 6)
  • 1 Kill all Lab Techs
  • 1 Control one or more Salvage markers at the end of the game
  • 2 Your Spec-Ops either damages an enemy model, or succeeds on a roll that completes an objective.

Defender (Human Coalition)

  • 4 Kill more than 225 enemy Army Points
  • 2 Kill between 151 and 225 enemy Army Points
  • 1 Kill between 75 and 150 enemy Army Points

  • 1 Control one or more Salvage markers at the end of the game
  • 2 Your Spec-Ops either damages an enemy model, or succeeds on a roll that completes an objective.

Terrain

  • A human research lab.

Deployment & Setup

  • Before the Initiative Roll is made, after both players have chosen their Army Lists, place the following as indicated on the map above:
    • Six Lab Techs (LT)
    • Six Samples (S). Samples are deployed by applying a variant of the Dispersion rule. The players will place 6 Circular Templates as shown in the map above, placing one of the Samples in the center of each of the Circular Templates. Then two rolls will be made for each Sample to determine its final position. The second digit of the first result marks the distance (in inches) the Sample is placed from the center of the Template, and the second roll marks the direction of the dispersion roll. If any Sample lands in the same place as another Sample or ends up inside an area with no access, the dice must be re-rolled for that Sample. After all the Dispersion Rolls are done, the Circular Templates are removed from the table.
  • Both players will deploy on opposite sides of the game table, in a standard Deployment Zone 12 inches deep.

Special Rules & Objectives

  • Samples: There are a number of Samples scattered about the map. Samples have 4 ARM and 2 STR. Each Sample has one additional property, rolled randomly after models have been deployed:
    • [01 - 05] - Volatile: When this Sample is reduced to 0 or less STR, all models within 2" of it suffer a DMG 14 Fire roll against their ARM.
    • [06 - 10] - Disruptive: When this Sample is reduced to 0 or less STR, all models within 4" of if suffer a DMG 8 E/M roll against their BTS.
    • [11 - 15] - Nanocloud: All PH rolls and Doctor rolls attempted within 4" of this Sample receive a +3 bonus.
    • [16 - 20] - Dataphage: All models may treat this Sample as an enemy Repeater.

    • As a shord skill while in base contact with a Sample, a Specialist model may attempt to salvage equipment from it by succeeding on a normal WIP roll; a Combined Army model suffers a -3 penalty to this roll, while a model from any Human army suffers a -6 penalty on this check. On a failure, this roll cannot be reattempted on the same Sample by that player's models, but may be attempted on a different sample. On a success, the Specialist model secures a Voodoo Tech Sample; place a Salvage marker beside the Specialist model. Each model may carry a maximum of one Salvage marker.

    At the end of the game, any player who controls one or more Salvage markers will secure the Voodoo Salvage campaign reward for his faction.

  • Lab Techs: The six Lab Techs are friendly to the Defending player and use the following profile:

    • LI

    		 Lab Tech
    MOV CC BS PH WIP ARM BTS W S
    4-4 8 10 10 14 0 6 1 2
    Qualities Extremely Impetuous
    Special Lab Techs may only Dodge and perform Short Movement skills

    Lab Techs do not receive an active turn, but may perform AROs. Lab Techs are considered to begin the game in Retreat; at the start of each of the Attacker's turns, all surviving Lab Techs will Impetuously move toward the Defender's deployment board edge. The Defender determines the AROs and Impetuous activations of all Lab Techs.

  • 385/Blue/Tangible: The Attacker's army must include the following model, at a cost of 88pts and 2SWC.

    • HI

    (Hackable)

    		 Node 385/Blue/Tangible
    MOV CC BS PH WIP ARM BTS W S
    4-4 17 13 13 16 5 6 2 6
    Abilities G: Mnemonica, Lieutenant, V: No Wound Incapacitation
    Equipment: Cube, CH: TO Camouflage
    Weapons: Sepsitor, Plasma Rifle, Nanopulser, Pistol, Shock CCW

    385/Blue/Tangible is a character model and is therefore subject to rules for Character Death.

  • 05 - 08 Nanoscreen
  • 09 - 12 S: Protheion
