[GZG-ECC,DS2] Moonbase XI AAR

I ran this DS2 scenario at GZG-ECC II on Friday night.
For the background, see

The game went fairly well. And everyone said that they enjoyed the game.

The LLAR intelegence arm discovered the Kra'Vak (which the UN was keeping
secret, to avoid panic of course). Knowing that they would eventually have to
face the Kra'Vak, they requested information about the aliens. The UN security
council (NAC, FSE, etc.) disavowed all knowledge.

The LLAR discovered that the UN had cached the information and physical
evidence at a small base on the Moon. A raid was planned and executed. A
cloaked taskforce entered Lunar orbit and disgorged 34 armored vehicles and 10
power armor elements. A poor private on patrol. The private was dispatched
quickly, but not before alerting the UN defense force. The UNDF dispatched the
closest defenders (the 17th Lunar Guarde) which consisted of 18 armored
vehicles and 3 power armor elements.

The Lunar Guarde was equiped with AFV's designed for a vacuum. The LLAR made
quick conversions to vehicles that they already owned. Thus, shots against
LLAR AFV's, that hit, drew an extra damage chit.

The game turned out to be a little unbalanced. The LLAR won decisively.

Stuart led a valiant defense! His team charged the guns of the enemy taking
advantage of every bit of terrain on the table. He kept his forces within the
rules of engagement (well, almost). He even managed to get his power armor to
the base first!

The battle took a fatal turn when the LLAR took out all 3 Size 5, Grim Heavy
Tanks in one turn. The final straw was after Stuart close assaulted the LLAR
power armor, but lost too much to attrition.

Some suggestions were made to balance the scenario: 1) Start the 17th closer
to the base.
2) Change the HEL/3's on the Paladin AFV's to MDC's
3) Add 1 or 2 AFV units to the 17th 4) Remove the Rules of Engagement.

Thanks to the players for a great time! And for the suggestions!
