Hi All,
As a casual player I'm more interested in fun scenario's that tourny lists. Here is one that I have imagined, would love to hear peoples thoughts / feedback (as well as any other coll scenarios people have developed):
Players: 5+
Concept: Imperial forces patrolling an important jump point 'Checkpoint Delta', have been informed that a smuggler will be passing the checkpoint and must be stopped.
Special Rules for the Scenario:
-
Initiative:
- Imperial Navy always has initiative;
-
Other players determine initiative by highest average pilot skill of squad
- Ties determined by focus role-off
- To be played on a long playing field (at least twice as long as wide)
- The Imperial Navy player places all asteroids (as per standard asteroid placement rules)
- Create 6 entry/exit points
- 3 at each end on the playing field, 1 in each corner and one centre
- Ships may only enter exit within range 1 of an entry/exit point or is lost
- Name each entry/exit point clearly
- Players must reveal the cards for any special abilities that they wish to use
- On the first turn all players not already on the board role a role a d3 and if they get a 3, place their ship(s) within range 1 of their entry point.
- On turn 2 each player not yet on the board role a d2 and enter on a 2.
- On turn 3 any remaining players must enter the playing field if they have not done so already.
- Factions do not need to reveal the exact makeup of their squad in advance, put will be penalised 5 victory points for each Squad point over their allocation when scoring
- Tractor beams can only be used at range 1
- Tractor beams have a 360 arc
- Tractor beams have a 3 dice role and are successfully if you achieve at least one eyeball result
- Whoever has the most Victory points at the end of the scenario wins
- Each starting player (except the Imperial Navy) must nominate on a hidden piece of paper an entry point and an exit point from the opposite end of the playing field.
- A turn counter needs to be kept for each turn of play
- Any player can forego their attack to make a Tractor Beam roll.
- Scenario ends if the smuggled goods has left the table (escaped / blown up).

-
You gain Victory Points equal to the squad points of any enemies of the state that are destroyed

Special Rules:
- Squad must include a shuttle
-
Instead of an attack, a Shuttle can scan a ship for contraband
- Only within Range 2
- Roll 3 dice, must achieve at least one focus
- As the legal ruling government:
- it is within your mandate to order other ships to fly according to your stipulations, at threat of being fired upon (they of course may choose to ignore you, but why would they do that?)
- It is also within your mandate to offer bounty's on any ship, any player that destroys a ship that you have placed a bounty upon gains (and you lose) Victory Points equivalent to the bounty placed.
Setup: All ships placed within range 2 of a horizontal bandwidth across centre of play field
