SG II: Scenario idea

Well, I’ve just finished converting my den into a
full-blown game room. I’ve built a 6x4 table that
quickly and easily can become a 6x6 or 6x8 table. And
all with the blessing of my girlfriend :-)

Anyway, I’m hosting a grand opening Saturday, July 8.
I’m planning a large Stargrunt II game to break the
table in. I’d like to get a little feedback about the
scenario I’m planning.

Assault on Trader’s Corner:

Our campaign resembles the Balkan conflict taken to an
intergalactic level. A major offensive has been
launched to take a strategically important mountain
overlooking a vital trade route.

The defender gets his choice of five of the following
units (* indicates a unit which may be taken more than
once)

1 Platoon of infantry (Three squads plus command
squad) *
1 Platoon of vehicles (Three plus command vehicle) *
1 Section of power armor (Two squads, no command
element) *
1 Platoon of towed guns (Four guns, placed in static
positions)
1 Sniper (The position is of significant military
value to make a sniper a worthwhile risk)
1 Forward observer element (One FO and two rifles)
3 Off-board artillery salvoes (Three-barrell rocket
mortars) *

In addition, the defender gets 1d6 mines (his choice
of type) and 1d6 dummy counters.

The attacker gets his choice of 10 of the following
units (* indicates a unit which may be taken more than
once)

1 Platoon of infantry (Three squads plus command
squad) *
1 Platoon of vehicles (Three plus command vehicle) *
1 Section of power armor (Two squads, no command
element, can be orbitally inserted)) *
1 Section of assault infantry (paradrop infantry)
1 Forward observer element (One FO and two rifles)
3 Off-board artillery salvoes (Three-barrell rocket
mortars) *

The mountain sits in one corner of the table and backs
up to a lake. Two roads meet at the base of the
mountain, making it an easy place to set ambushes and
disrupt supply convoys and trade.

The attacker’s goal is to take the mountain ridge by
killing the defender’s troops or breaking them, taking
them prisoner or forcing them to flee.

What do you think? Are there enough choices to make it
a difficult tactical decision about what forces to
bring? Are there any obvious forces I’m missing?

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Kevin
