Hi everybody.
First, I want to apologize for my bad English, but I'm italian, and Google Translator doesn't always work well
I'm working on creating a story, which lasts from 4 to 6 games (it depends on who has won). This story can only be done if you use the Reich and the Matriarchy factions. To play this story, you only need the following expansion: Operation Novgorod, Daedalus, Hoss Harbinger, Oksana, Asteros. If someone wants to try this story, I invite him to try the first scenario; if someone liked my first scenario, and if he wants to continue the story, wrote it here, and I will post the next scenario. The story, in general, is: the Reich, that wants to summon Asteros for increase his power, is forced to declare war to Matriarchy, because the manuscripts for the summoning are located in a russian monastery. So, the two factions begin the war... but who will win?
This is the first scenario:
TITLE: THE RECOVERY OF MANUSCRIPTS
MAP: Tesla Priory
FACTIONS: Matriarchy vs. Reich
STORY:
The Reich wants to open a dimensional portal to retrieve a mythological creature, Asteros. With it, Reich wants to expand its power. To open this portal, however, the Reich has to come into possession of three manuscripts, that Heizinger can use to complete the plan. The manuscripts are located near a russian monastery, and to retrieve them, the Reich will be forced to declare war against the Matriarchy, since the latter doesn’t intend to give these documents.
DIFFICULTY : Medium
KIND OF GAME: Special
SPECIAL RULES:
-On this map cannot be played the following characters: Oksana, Asteros, Hoss, Wolf, all of the Shogunate.
-On this map don’t use Challenges.
-The controller of the Reich is forced to choose Hermann Von Heizinger as a hero on his team.
-The controller of the Matriarchy is forced to make a team with the following characters: Zor'ka, Irishka, Irina / Gorgei, Voivode A, B, C, D.
-The faction of the Matriarchy is already on the map at the start of the game (see "SETUP" for details)
-The controller of Matriarchy can set his characters on Overwatch without spending any command points, because the faction is located in its territory.
-The Reich’s controller automatically wins the setup roll, and he is forced to choose the entry point in the dark grey Path. In the first round of play, all members of the Matriarchy cannot move or take actions, while from the second turn of play, the members of the faction Matriarchy follow the normal rules.
-In this map you add a new type of action, "Collect Manuscript", which can do any character except the Voivode. To accomplish this type of action a character must be adjacent to a manuscript, spend an action, and place a manuscript on his character sheet. A manuscript doesn’t occupy space in the equipment slot and there is no limit to the number of manuscripts that a character can keep on his character sheet. A manuscript is considered as any piece of equipment disposable, so it can be discarded, collected and passed.
-No character can finish his action on a manuscript or adjacent to it.
-When a character picks up a manuscript, its evil aura provides a penalty of 1 to the movement, a penalty of 5 to the intelligence and a penalty of 1 to the combat (these values cannot be less than 1), in addition, when a character holds a manuscript, the controller of this character cannot use command points to shake his wounds. The only character immune to the manuscript’s evil effects is Hermann von Heizinger.
-If the Reich’s controller manages to bring a character with the manuscript in a circle adjacent to its entry point, he can spend an action to put the manuscript in the entry point circle. Once there, a manuscript cannot be collected from any character and doesn’t prevent the movement.
(Alternatively you place the token "Manuscript" out of character sheet and the board).
SETUP:
First place the three manuscripts (Parchment Tokens, found in Oksana’s single figure expansion) on the following circles:
-Demolition
-Athletics
-Center action circle in front of the monastery
On all other circles of action, place the “Crate” token.
The characters of the Matriarchy are located:
- Voivode in the four action circles inside the monastery.
- Irishka in the action circle furthest from the monastery’s entrance.
-Zor'ka in the middle of the monastery.
- Irina / Gorgei up to three circles from Zor’ka, in the monastery, on the blue / light green circle.
Place Commando Alpha in a casual point of the map.
VICTORY CONDITIONS:
REICH --> The Reich must retrieve the three manuscripts, placing them on the entrance circle.
Matriarchy --> The Matriarchy has to kill all members of the Reich.
If the Reich won, proceed to "The Last Document".
If the Matriarchy won, proceed to "The OGI Team".
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
Recently, an ally of the Matriarchy has been sentenced to death for insubordination, so he escape from the monastery, and Zor'ka decided to delete him; the Reich, who knows nothing about all this, still think that this troop is still under the Matriarchy’s command, so decides to kill him. So, this man is wanted by Matriarchy and by Reich too.
To represent this character, use the Commando Alpha miniature, with its relative character sheet,
equipped with the following items:
-Keep Moving (See rules for KEEP MOVING)
-Flash-gun MK 1 (See rules for Flash-gun)
-Knife
-BG 42 (See rules for BG 42)
In addition, consider his Stamina values 7-6-6.
The character is driven by both players: a step up for everyone to get to its maximum movement value. This character moves at the end of the turn, when all the other characters had still move. A player can totally give up his right to move the character, to make an action with it, before he is moved. If both players want to perform an action with the character, roll a die and the one with the highest result may be perform the action, while the other can move it up to 7 circles, AFTER the action is done. This character cannot take any action with the equipment and cannot collect
manuscripts.
SCORE:
The winner of this scenario receives 2 "Match Points", while the loser of this scenario receives 0 "Match Points".
The secondary objective’s winner receives 1 "Match Point".
If there are any things unclear, ask me. Comments on the scenario (and also the story) are welcome!
Have a good game!
