OOC: What style game you playing? Themed with New Years perhaps? :) Raid, which puts the surprise in Raids. Is the 68 a restore job?
Hey...isn't that one your numerous cars, Wombat taking off with?
I have been running a Mercenary Campaign for the past 5.5 years. This will be our 62nd game, we started in 3049 with the Clan Invasion. I created a rule set based on the War Chest system. The players manage their own Merc units under the umbrella of a larger Merc command. They are the Forrest Gump of the Inner Sphere managing to get involved in all the historical events.
Here is the right up for this Sundays game:
Schloss Adler Resort
February 3057
The Blue Meanies have abducted the renowned scientist Wasabi Sashimi-san, a close friend of Mr Pink. Some think he’s a cold fish but to Mr Pink he is a hot commodity. They are holding him at the not so mountainous resort, the Schloss Adler. The resort is not defended by any infantry units as it is believed that Wasabi Sashimi-san is under house arrest with a pair (or more) of special lady friends. The approach to the resort as a lot of hidden infantry and other hidden units. They also have artillery. There are Infantry with LB-X so using a VTOL is ill advised. The terrain has lakes and rivers and there are no bridges to get to the resort.
Sit Rep
The game will be on 4 map sheets and you will start in the far corner with only 4 hexes to deploy in at the start. You have about 10 turns to get to Wasabi Sashimi-san. After that the Blue Meanies will have brought in their patrols. Get an Infantry unit to enter the resort and grab Wasabi. Remember:
1 turn to unload
1 turn to enter the building
1 turn to exit the building
1 turn to board transport and leave
Unit Selection
You MAY bring units from previous games as this is not part of the two mini campaigns.
Mechs - 250 tons (extra tonnage can be times by 1.5 and transferred to vehicles/Infantry Vehicles/Infantry - 200 tons
Note: Remember the objective. If you bring a lot of units be prepared to play very fast otherwise you will not finish. Don’t waste a lot of play time firing, you are playing against two clocks.
As for the Charger it's a complete car that will undergo a full restoration some day.
