Subject: [SG] Easter Scenario

Scenario: Big Bad Bunny in Creme Chocolate Land

Situation:
Resupply seems to be late again.  It's coming up to Easter, & no-one has
any chocolate or, perish the thought, chocolate eggs. Wait, what's that
explosion further down the valley? AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's
the supply helo, and it's just been shot down by the enemy. Quick, we need
that chocolate before morale drops any further!

Terrain: Broken terrain, preferably with a few hills to block sight lines.
Several packets of chocolate eggs are opened and scattered around the
table as objective markers (preferable the solid bite-sized ones).

Deployment: 2 enemy platoons deploy at each end of the table. Each squad is
equipped with a light truck.

Duration: Until you burst.

Objectives: Recover all the easter eggs! Every egg carried off your own
baseline, you get to eat!

Special Rules: Each soldier can pick up and carry 1 small egg as an
encumbering load (same as carrying wounded), 4 soldiers can pick up and carry
an egg up to chicken's egg size. Anything bigger requires a vehicle.

Mission Motivation: High Morale: Both sides start as Confident. Quality: Both
sides get a mix of Regular & green leader 1 & 2s.

Support: None, you don't want anyone else to score all that chocolate!

*shrug* Could be worse. I suddenly had this image of AFV's, IFV's, and
soldiers all formed from chocolate, and you got to eat your opponent's
casualties.

Some of us would display a truly grim determination to exterminate the enemy.
Come to think of it, it would also be a good way to
include several non-gaming women I know.

At least I didn't include the rules for "Tiny Teddy's do War". Now THAT is a
truly sickening wargame.

One of the worst situations was one player turning up to Conquest'93 with
boston buns as elephants, and then having 1 minute to eat it after
it died.....

If you're using something with a soft centre you can then;

"...suck their guts out, throw their skins away..."

*slap*slap*slap* - I need to snap out of this inane idiocy. ;-)
