EVENT 2742: Shadow PlaySCENARIOEmboldened by the weakness of Jonathan Cameron's inaction during the Davion conflict, Minoru Kurita cast another bid for expansion. The Lyran Commonwealth, a long-time enemy of the Combine since its inception, was the target of frequent attacks by the DCMS, under the guise of "bandit activity." Officially, these attacks were the work of brigands looking to exploit the weaknesses of periphery frontiers. Unofficially, a Third Hidden War was being waged.
Kurita found in Stefan Amaris a kindred spirit and willing ally in the war against House Steiner. His addition of Republican forces to the conflict was happily accepted by Minoru, and funded just as generously. Republican mercenaries would unleash devastation along the Combine border, eventually prompting a stern and swift response. Attackers in this scenario represent the
Rim Worlds Army and their mercenaries, while defenders assume the role of the
Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces.
FORCESRWA: Attacker brings a Lance of (4) Mechs with a
minimum army skill sum of 8 and
maximum skill sum of 7. The attacker will be assigned a pre-generated army, including several high-tech units.
LCAF: Defender brings a Lance of (4) Mechs with a
minimum army skill sum of 8 and a
maximum skill sum of 7. The player will be given a pre-generated army of militia-quality units, vehicles and a cache of conventional mines.
DEPLOYMENTRWA: Attacker begins the scenario at the North end of the industrial map.
LCAF: Defender begins the scenario at the South end of the industrial map. The player may place units wherever they wish, but must not place any mines within 9 hexes of their own deployment zone or near the ammunition dump hexes.
VICTORY CONDITIONSRWA: Major victory is achieved by destroying 80% BV of the LCAF militia as well as the ammunition dump hexes. A minor victory occurs if the ammunition dump is destroyed. An additional reward will be given if 10 buildings are destroyed.
LCAF: Major victory if the defender captures the enemy Commander's unit and/or pilot, as well as preventing the ammunition dump from being destroyed. Minor victory for destroying 60% of the attacker's force.
