Scenario 1 Battle Report
Julian v Liam
Cult v Superpower Backed Client
(Rebels/Separatists v Govt/Loyalists)


1) The SPBC army would normally be

militia   80   6 SA 4 RPG   2 HMG
militia   58   6 SA 4 RPG   
militia   84   4 X T-55 (old)   
regular   76   4 SA 3 RPG   
pro           96   4 SA 2 RPG   
additions   11   1 x light attack helicopter   
           28   1 x heavy attack helicopter   
            66   1 armoured carrier allowance w/2xgun(old)   
           499   pts

The scenario provides a free light attack helicopter and reduction in the cost of mortar bases, both foot and softskins.

With these applied the SPBC army list for the game became:

Colonel Zhykov
militia   68   6 SA 4 RPG   2 mortar
militia   58   6 SA 4 RPG   
militia   96   4 X T-55 (old)   1 mortar s/s
regular   88   4 SA 4 RPG   
pro           96   4 SA 2 RPG   (spetsnaz)
additions   0   1 x light attack helicopter   
         28   1 x heavy attack helicopter   
          66   1 armoured carrier allowance w/2xgun(old) (BMP-1s)   
           500     
"A Well equipped army with dubious motivations. The elite units usually are but the lower quality units are doing a job. The equipment given is plentiful but not usually the best. The superpower may be providing additional troops under the banner of "advisors". The government will not be well liked by its troops. Many units will owe their allegiance to specific government or army leaders who make things good for their town or tribe. Many of its troops will not be trained in modern warfare tactics but will have a fearsome reputation amongst the civilian population."

2) The Cult army is normally

militia   67   6 SA 4 RPG   1 Mortar
militia   63   7 SA 4 RPG   
militia   68   8 SA 4 RPG   
militia   68   8 SA 4 RPG   
regular   204   3 RPG w/APC   2 x A/C (std) 4 x Technicals
additions   30   1 X Armoured Carrier Allowance   
          500   pts   

With scenario rules applied , the Cult Army becomes

Kurtz
militia   63   6 SA 4 RPG   1 Mortar
militia   63   6 SA 4 RPG   1 Mortar
militia   68   8 SA 4 RPG   
militia   68   8 SA 4 RPG   
regular   204   3 RPG w/APC   2 x Panhard A/C (std) 4 x Technicals
additions   30   1 X Armoured Carrier Allowance   
           0   1 x light attack helicopter   
          496     
"The army is lead by a man whom the troops adore/fear.He has demonstrated his magical ability to his troops many times.He can remove bad spirits from any person. The gifts he receives are shared amongst his closest lieutenants. His aim is to lead the whole country in a new birth that will impose a structure and purpose to all. His army lacks technical advantage or quality training.They are keen though. He has little contact with the great superpowers although he manages to sell large amounts of diamonds and gold. Although mocked by the west he d oes have some influence on African leaders who fear his follower's fanaticism. The militia are expendable fodder to the leader. This army likes to attack."

NOTE
The scenarios are designed so that you can opt to play them with the scenario rewards and special rules which will provide the player with some additional points or bases or discounts so that extra bases and vehicles can be rotated in and out of the armies for each battle, providing a spectrum of tactical and gaming experiences efficiently.

Pre-Game

Cult finished with three event outcomes for 53 attack points. SPBC won five event outcomes for 34 attack points. A determined attack by Cult. Cult lost 13 foot bases to the RSV Box, SPBC lost 12 foot and one mprtar S/S. SPBC would start with three units off table as reinforcements.Cult would start with the four foot units on table and the mobile unit as reinforcement. Both Santas primed with their Christmas Trees.

Cult loaded up with 3 Aggressive Shots, 3 Morale Boosts and two units can turn professional for one turn.
SPBC got 5 Aggressive Shots, a Morale Boost, one turns professional in turn 2 and wheeled vehicles (hasn't got any) ignore mine effects.
SPBC will get +2 to the number of hits for both artillery (6d6) and air strikes (5d6).
Cult will lost its regular unit if it drops to three bases but all the militia units will get +2 on the number of bases to shoot rolls.

The Battlefield, with the crossroads objective in the foreground and the two target objectives in the middle, attacker on the right.

[julian bonny]

The Target Objective for the attacker, with the defender's militia dug in ready and waiting. The Scrap Yard rough ground will hopefully slow the attacker down.

[julian bonny]

Both armies successfully rolled for Arrivals from their assets at end of turn 1.The SPBC brought their militia tanks on at the road on their base edge. The Cult brought their mobile unit on at the flank road by the crossroads. In Turn 2, both units were straight into the action ,engaged each other with the cult losing an armoured car and the SPBC a tank, the SPBC tank unit being professional for the 2nd turn.This didnt deter a cult militia unit to assault the tanks at the crossroads, destroying another tank.
Turn 3 saw the SPBC lose their bodyguard as the SPBC dug in militia was assaulted by two Cult militia units which were professional for that turn. They were bounced out of the objective and towards the table edge. By the end of turn 4, the SPBC have 4 units on their table edge whilst their spetsnaz unit is in the middle of the table, in their BMP-1s.
Losses so far,
Cult 8 militia foot and 2 A/Cs.
SPBC so far , 2 tanks and 7 militia foot.
End of turn 4, countdown on 12.

Cult so far delivered 3 christmas trees, SPBC two trees.

.....

Final Score
Cult 91
SPBC 101

SPBC delivered xmas to the people, and a tree to three of their units and killed the cult general and santa. Cult got trees tp three units and secured two objectives but losing the general and santa in the last turn , the 8th because the general stepped on a landmine was a cruel blow. Great game, a total bloodbath. well done Liam.

flag 2 pts
3 xmas trees 9 pts

total 91pts

defender
SPBC
determined attack 13pts
killed general 13pts
regular unit removed 8pts
militia unit destroyed 6 pts
2 AFVs destoyed 8 pts
4 vehicles destroyed 8pts
foot bases killed 17pts
3 xmas trees 9 pts
xmas delivered 7pts
santa killed 12pts

total 101pts

a very bloody and close and fun battle which swung in the favpur of liam with the final steps of the game as he delivered xmas and killed my general and santa (albeit me stepping on what was probably one of my own landmines cry). The benefit of a busy General shines through in the game. liam even risked his general being on his own ( with santa but bodyguard had been killed) in the middle of the map for one turn as he attempted to get the general with his professional spetsnaz unit in their assault upon the target objective. I couldnt get anything to assault/hit the general and he got away with it, linked up with his spetsnaz unit and they delivered xmas in the final turn, bravo.
