The Way of the Warrior - a Slammer's Scenario
We also use the Imperial Option mentioned
on the web site where all measurements are in
inches rather than the standard metric
centimetres but are otherwise unchanged: we
were, after all, using a big table (about 6ft by
13ft) with a lot of ground to cover. One factor to
bear in mind with Imperial is that the minimum
range of on table heavy mortars is restricted to
120 inches: ten feet!
We also set the scenery up a little differently
from the book: the action we played took place
a little further down from the escarpment and
into the valley.
So we had roughly the following forces:
Defenders
Hashemites: 2000pts
Thunderbolts: 4500pts
Broglies: 5000pts
Total 11500pts
Attackers
Slammers: 7500pts
Sincanmo: 3000pts
Total 10500
How did the battle turn out?
The Slammers and Sincanmo rushed forward.
Their objective was to destroy the Hashemites
with a personal need - in Slick's case - to kill
Broglie.
The Thunderbolts and Broglies entered the
table first but the Hashemites didn't enter the
table until turn two and kept very much to the
rear (as Alan - the player with the Hashemites
and Broglies said "we've paid for these guys:
why keep a dog and bark yourself…").
