So our local scenario organizer is going to be out of town due to visiting LVO. So I offered to do the scenario. What do you think?
The Battlemaster's out, so let's get a little nuts.
Viva la Wreckolution! Time for a new King?!

Special Rules:
1) In order to Secure the King's Palace, you need to capture a series of posts:

2) Capturing Posts:
- To capture a Post, the same unit within 2 Hexes of Post for 2 End Turns.
- Only 'Mechs and Infantry can Secure a Post.
- Infantry in a Post's hex Control a Post, and can prevent units outside of the Hex from capturing it.
- In case of a tie, Combat Vehicles are tie breakers.
- Only Infantry may enter a Post's Hex.
3) Controlling a Post:
- Infantry can control a Post so long as they are the only one in the Post.
- A controlled post will provide extra firepower and benefits, depending on its Rank.
- Firepower is done at Infantry's Gunnery, and Infantry cannot use their own Weapons.
- Infantry are considered Under Cover while in a Post's Hex, but not in a Building.
4) Optional Rules Used At This Venue:

- Elevation Changes while Moving Backwards
- Flamers, Apply Heat and Damage
- Machine Guns, Rapid Fire Option
- Sprinting
- One Arm Prop Firing while Prone
- Evading Movement
- Guardian Movement
- Careful Stand
Map:
Using Chess pieces to represent the different posts, Pawns are obvious, with Rooks and Bishops being Officer Posts and Queens being the General. The King is obviously the King's Palace. The Map is limited because I've spent more on getting my collection updated than redeveloping my map collection.
I plan on giving out some Stat cards for the different Posts. They will all be armed with something relatively light, but heavier than the average Infantry unit without Field Guns deploys.
I will also add an option to use Battlefield Support Cards (minus Mines) to be drawn for the Pawn. Cards with Special Force Abilities, which I can't decide if they should be drawn by Officer or General Post Secure, probably General. I can't think of what to do with Officer. Maybe split the BSPs between Light and Heavy, and allow the Lights for the Pawns and Heavy for Officers?
Aside from forgetting about Protomechs (which is only a problem for me as I'm the only one who has or uses them), limited map options, and visibility of the Chess pieces, any thoughts or constructive criticism?
