SCENARIO
After a long and grueling drive across the barren, Martian plains, the Star League Defense Force finally breaks through the canopy of Republican artillery and reaches the outskirts of St. Andrews Township. Long known as a vital source of manufacturing for the Terran Hegemony, St. Andrews was the first to fall to Republican troops who cast envious eyes on the advanced technology within.

Seeking to cripple the Rim Worlders' grasp on Mars, SLDF commanders have made the small township a high priority for several reasons, though the most important being its people. As Kerensky's juggernaut approached, resistance units which survived underground began to surface, sabotaging Amaris' supply lines and attacking the Periphery occupiers. Unfortunately for these brave souls, the AEAF proved a formidable opponent; six months had passed since the initial landings on Mars and little progress has been made until today. As a result, extermination squads were dispatched from the 99th Amaris Dragoons' infamous unit, "The Messengers," whose sole aim was to root out and destroy all who resist, and all who aid them.

While "The Messengers" hack, slash and burn their way through St. Andrews Township, forward elements of an SLDF Light Horse Regiment attempt to break through to save their flagging allies.

RULES
- The SLDF has their work cut out for them, attempting to save 8 out of the 10 "Citizen" groups placed in designated hexes across the map as well as destroying the AEAF's terror squads. The Rim Worlds player has the task of finding and killing 8 of the Citizen groups before the end of Turn 15, after which the SLDF reinforcements arrive. Time is against the Republicans.

VICTORY CONDITIONS
Star League Defense Force
- Partial victory for the if 3 or more "Citizens" survive at the end of Turn 15 .
