RE: (SG) AAR--RESCUE (Here's the scenario)

For this game, I used my few actual Kra'Vak figures for the on-board
units,
and a scratch-built Kra'Vak light tank.  The Kra'Vak PA were actually
WH40k
Tau (I normally don't use evil empire figures, but I think these look
good
and make fine substitute K).

The NAC and NSL troops were all GZG figures, while the UN were Denizen
troops.  Anyway, on to the scenario...and yes, I did indeed forget to
take
my digital camera.

In early 2193, the Kra'Vak invasion of the Sol system was fast
approaching.
In support of this, the Kra'Vak made several diversionary thrusts
against
major human colonies, trying to bleed off forces that the UNSC needed
for
the defense of Earth.  One of these diversionary operations was the
seizure
of a foothold on the planet of New Warwick.  Unfortunately for the
Kra'Vak,
New Warwick was an important training ground for the New Anglian Royal
Army
and was thus able to effectively eliminate the alien foothold without
the
need of outside help.

We were sitting around wondering when we'd finally get a crack at the K,
when the call came in for all troop leaders and top kicks to get over to
the
regimental command bunker.  I hitched a ride with Major Murphy, the
battalion S2.  When we got there, the briefing room was full of all
sorts of
brass, so I found a spot toward the back of the room next to Feldwebel
von
Brautitz, the CSM of a bunch from the 6th GebirgsJaegers that we'd been
running drills with last month.  Even before the briefing started,
everyone
in the room knew that this was it.  What we didn't know was that this
mission was going to have some interesting twists.

That's when we received the call from battalion.  Apparently, the spec
ops
shuttle got wasted on the way in and we were tasked with taking over
their
mission.  The Old Man gave it to me straight-we had to move quickly from
the
beach LZ up to the Royal Hunting Preserve, into serious Indian Country,
so
that we could rescue some civies who'd managed to keep from getting
wasted
by the K.  I issued a quick march order to the platoon and we wheeled
north.
My Hog was in the lead when BOOM, I lost a track on a mine.  That's how
I
missed being in on the rescue.

The Scenario

The objective is to rescue Princess Margaret and to get the most points

the fewest losses.  All players lose if the Princess (or her body) is
not
recovered.  Points are awarded as follows:

Getting Princess unharmed off the entry edge	10
Getting injured Princess off the entry edge		08
Getting dead Princess off the entry table edge	02
Recovering box of Royal Tea (each)			01
Recovering box of Royal Picnic China		02
Recovering amphora of Royal Wine (each) 	02
Destroying Kra'Vak AAA weapon			06
Getting at least one Kra'Vak carcass off entry edge	02
Killing Kra'Vak leader				10
For each human trooper in squad killed		-2
The Forces

Each player runs a squad-equivalent infantry unit from one of the
following.
Each squad is assigned a playing card, and when that card is drawn, the
squad is activated.  Cards are shuffled at the end of each turn so that
the
turn order varies.  As enemy reinforcements are introduced, their cards
are
also added to the play stack.

Kra'Vak Rules

Kra'Vak units are controlled by either the GM or by the following
automatic
rules:

For all units starting on-board that have received fire or have spotted
opponents, and for all reinforcements, if there is valid target within
range
of the unit's weapons but not within close assault range (1x the unit's
base
movement) fire for first action and then either fall back (1-2 on d6),
hold
position (if infantry 3-5, all others 3-6 on d6), or move toward cover
closer to enemy (infantry only on a roll of 6 on a d6).  If the
condition
above is not valid, then roll on the respective unit's table to
determine
each action.

Infantry (Close Combat and PA claws):  If unit in close assault range
(1x
unit's base movement), it will attempt a close assault, otherwise:
1-3	Move toward nearest enemy unit (but stop only in covering
terrain,
if possible)
4	Observe (or Go Into Position, if not already in position)
5	If unit in open, move to nearest cover, otherwise Go Into
Position
6	Fall back (unless in entrenchments, then Observe)

Tank:  If unit is in close assault range of known enemy, it will fire
for
first action then fall back toward nearest friendly unit, otherwise:
1-3	Move toward nearest known enemy
4	Move toward nearest friendly unit
5	Remain stationary (observe)
6	Fall back from nearest known enemy

Command Claw:  If fired at, go into position (1-2 on d6) or fall back
toward
nearest friendly unit (3-6 on d6).  If not fired upon and any unknown
units
in LOS, hold position (1-3 on d6) or move toward nearest friendly unit
(4-6
on d6).
