Bright Horizon
Campagne inter-club (26/02/2011) Bright Horizon est une colonie minire dcouverte et contrle par le consortium Omni Consumer Pleasure (OCP). Au fil des dcades les colons (considrs comme des citoyens de seconde zone par OCP) sindignrent dune gouvernance non dmocratique (un vice-prsident dOCP tient le rle de gouverneur plantaire) et dune inscurit grandissante (des bandes de pillards, descendant des premiers colons - des forats sillonnent la plante). Afin de rtablir lordre et de maintenir la production, OCP fit appel une socit militaire prive, Unicorn Unlimited. Deux rgiments furent dpchs sur Bright Horizon. Connus pour avoir la dtente facile les mercenaires de Unicorn Unlimited nont pas calm les esprits. Ce qui tait une insurrection se transforma en rvolution. Les forces de dfense plantaires (PDF) rejoignirent le Syndicat des mineurs de Bright Horizon dans le projet de renverser OCP et dinstaurer un gouvernement dmocratique. LAssemble dmocratique de Bright Horizon (qui regroupe notamment des reprsentants des PDF et du syndicat) dcida de faire galement appel une arme prive pour soutenir les rgiments de PDF : DropZoneAegis (DZA) envoya un de ses lightning regiment, le 7e, les fameux Helljumpers. Soutenus par les Helljumpers de DropZoneAegis (DZA) les forces de dfense plantaire (PDF) bousculrent les mercenaires de Unicorn Unlimited. Une contre-attaque surprise de ces derniers vise reprendre linitiative. Les flancs de loffensive des PDF sont menacs. LAssemble dmocratique dcide denvoyer les Helljumpers pour ralentir cette contre-attaque... Un des deux axes de pntration de la contre-attaque de Unicorn Unlimited suit une route secondaire passant par une petite exploitation minire indpendante ; Caydons Hole. Ce point doit tre dfendu le plus longtemps possible. Deux autres cibles ont t identifies par le Bureau Tactique : un vhicule de communication dont la capture permettrait de pntrer le rseau tactique dUnicorn Unlimited et ainsi de rendre nos mesures dECM plus efficaces (objectif STORM) ; un peloton dartillerie autoporte qui peut craser notre dfense et qui doit tre captur ou limin (objectif ICE).

La campagne : Caydons Hole

Scnario 1 : Objective Ice

******************************************* Un convoi dartillerie dUnicorn doit se mettre en position pour craser Caydons Hole . Les Helljumpers ont fait appel la rsistance locale pour les aider organiser une embuscade. Les troupes dUU doivent sortir par la route au sud de la carte. Les Helljumpers doivent les en empcher en dtruisant lartillerie.

Les Helljumpers ont linitiative le premier tour. Ils se placent dans cinq positions renforces (+2D + 1D in conver) au moins 20 de la zone de dploiement des Unicorns (un rectangle de 20 cm de long sur 10 de large centr sur la route). La carte fait 4x3.

Les troupes dUnicorn doivent tester (TQ) leur degr de ractivit ou risquer de ne rien faire le premier tour.
Parasail Assaults are closer to the tradition of airmobile operations of the early 20th century. If a drop occurs prior to play, resolve unit placement during the Set Up Figures phase of the turn sequence as follows: Choose insertion point for each unit and roll a Troop Quality check. If the unit passes the check, place all its figures within 6" of the insertion point. If the unit fails its Troop Quality check, it has become scattered. Roll according to the table below with the appropriate dice and a scatter dice for each figure in the scattered unit:Tech level 2 Scatter 1D10 from insertion point. Figures in a scattered unit may only React on the turn they arrive. Treat each scattered figure as a individual unit for purposes of Reaction Tests, fire, and defense unless they are in cohesion with another friendly unit. On the following turn, the units activation must consist of moving all figures into cohesion with one another. Until cohesion is established with all combat effective figures in the scattered unit, it may only move to establish cohesion and fire as part of a Reaction or Round of Fire.

Les Helljumpers sont dj sur site, dploys dans les btiments avec les rsistants quils encadrent. 3x Workers Fireteams 1x Helljumper Squad (3 Fireteams command par le Lt. Oz, positive leader) 1x ATGM + 1 crew (weapon team) Au tour 2 arrivent par la route au sud : 1x Scorpion APC with one PDF squad inside (2 Fireteams); 1x Thor Heavy Battle Tank Au tour 3, Hot Drop de Battle Armors : 3x Battle Armors Si le vhicule de communication a t captur alors chaque tour on teste pour savoir si le rseau dUU peut tre brouill : 1-2 sur 1d6 = brouillage jusqu la fin de la bataille.

Hot Drop
Choose insertion point for each unit and roll a Troop Quality check. If the unit passes the check, place all its figures within 6" of the insertion point. If the unit fails its Troop Quality check, it has become scattered. Roll according to the table below with the appropriate dice and a scatter dice for each figure in the scattered unit: Tech level 2 Scatter 1D10 from insertion point. Figures in a scattered unit may only React on the turn they arrive. Treat each scattered figure as a individual unit for purposes of Reaction Tests, fire, and defense unless they are in cohesion with another friendly unit. On the following turn, the units activation must consist of moving all figures into cohesion with one another. Until cohesion is established with all combat effective figures in the scattered unit, it may only move to establish cohesion and fire as part of a Reaction or Round of Fire. If a drop occurs during play, follow the same method described above at the beginning of the turn the units are scheduled to arrive. Hot Drop or parasail units that arrive during play may do nothing in the turn in which they arrive other than establish their perimeter. They may not move unless forced to Pull Back. They may only React by returning fire.
