Subject: [SG] Scenario: Redhawk Down
Thinking about someone's request a couple of weeks ago for "a really bad army", and Blackhawk Down sprang to mind. You could just as well make it cover Gordon at Khartoum or any similar situation, though. Yellowdog spaceport: a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...but all well armed, and stupidly brave. Unlimited numbers of squads, all 10-12 men, QD4, FP2, armor d4, 50% chance of one IAVR, 10% chance of a GMS/P, no other support weapons, no leaders. When a squad gets down to about half size, it can reorganize with another squad and they're back in business. If you're running this as a two player game, the Yellowdogs will be NPCs. The NAC and the UN can each activate 2 Yellowdog squads for every one of their own units. In the middle of this mess is a missionary nursing school, defended by the NAC's Red Devils. The Red Devils are the roughest, toughest, baddest troops ever, and they don't hesitate to let you know it. They have snake for breakfast and glass and nails for dinner, etc etc. They were going to extract the babes...excuse me, nursing students...but their assault transport got hit by a missile and now it looks like they'll have to walk. Or...they could wait for the Blue Beanies to come and get them out, but they'd never live it down.... QD10 or 12, FP3 weapons, six man squads with support weapons as needed. Limited ammo: if a support weapon rolls a 1, it's out of ammo. The UN station's military unit happens to have been provided by the FSE. Zey are not lahk zese, how you say, rowdy children of ze NAC. Zey are professionals. Zey will show zese Anglais how it is done... QD8, use the platoon in the book, with APCs. The UN starts on the east edge, the NAC starts on the west edge, hordes of Yellows start randomly (stand at the end of the table and toss a handful of Yellow chips towards the other end). NAC wants to get their unit and the nurses at least to the center of the board before the UN troops get to them.
