(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. Encyclopedia Universalis, 2200 Special Edition, New Avalon
Consolidated Publishers

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. Personal Tales from the Kra'Vak War, 2203, Viking Forge
Books

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.

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).
