Crazy Bear and Ragged Staff - Scenario 1 - Outpost 13
JB rushed into Proctor's office, the door staying on its hinges, just and with Lucia vainly trying to stop him. "Macs dead, he's bloody well dead, Proctor. Old Jack's scooted and there's something out there in the mountains. Whatever it is its armed and dangerous."
"Shit, what happened? Where's the body?"
"I'm telling you we have to get everyone armed and head out there...".
Taking a deep breath Proctor started again. "You sure he's dead? Calm down and go through it all slowly
"We had to leave him behind, Unwin's badly shot up and the other's we couldn't find. We never saw what hit us."
When JB left, Lucia ably assisting him, on orders to take Mac's body to the Doc, Proctor pursed his lips and sat in thought. This was going to be difficult. First to keep JB quiet long enough to prevent him rousing the boys, he could rely on Lucia and the Doc to keep their mouth's shut. Secondly he had to find out what was going on, JB hadn't mentioned the natives but, well Jack had a native lass and he hunted on sacred land, probably just got them riled up. Blue forms in the trees JB had whittered on about, well the natives were slate grey coloured, in the dying light maybe they looked blue? The natives outnumbered the settlers here by at least one hundred to one, maybe more, and they had rifles these days. Sighing Proctor started to close the slate down. Looked like field work beckoned.
"You must be D-Sup Proctor." a calm voice flowed from the doorway. "Sergeant B'weena, thought I'd drop in."
"Sergeant B'weena?" Proctor's head jerked up. "What the hell? How did you get in here?"
"There was no-one in your, outer office, so I just let myself in." B'weena took off her shades and lounged back in her BDUs, her boots were muddy Proctor noted and where the baggy uniform showed form, well she looked fit and toned, well toned if a little petite to be a Sergeant."
"I have no idea where you sprang from, but boy am I glad to see you."
"I sprang from the old forest, as per the memo, the teams on a remote walking and stellar navigation exercise, you were infomed."
Proctor furrowed his brows, "Oh yes, in the memo, that's right." He thumbed the slates power back on. "Sergeant, don't suppose you have some time to give us a hand?"
Armand waited on the VTOL pad, his goony was good to go, a nearby tree showed that the chin cannon was working well. Five of the Glory Hounds he was to take back out there, see what they could and then get back out, well he had a plan he wasn't sitting this one out. There was a rapping on the VTOL's cockpit, startled he opened it to see JB hanging onto the rungs.
"Man, you got room for me and my buddies."
"M. Proctor he said nothing about anyone other than them regulars."
"Proctor didn't say anything about us not going though, look its for Mac, I, we owe him this, you were there, come on man, we hang together your one of the crew, right?"
The back door of the VTOL hissed open, D'Armand said nothing as the cockpit slowly descended. Out of the corner of his eye he say three forms rush into the body of the VTOL and strap themselves in.
Briefing - Glorious Citizen’s Army for Defence of the State and Welfare of the Common Sentient plus a few others
This is a favour for D-Sup Proctor some of his milita goons have been stomping about and riled the natives. All you have to do is get to the outpost, find out what happendd and get back again. The two milita in the VTOL when you borded were a bit of a surprise, local guides apparently and what the hell Proctor sent the Vid boy for beats you.

Designer’s Notes
A direct follow on from the last scenario, this time the Colony forces have significant backup. The Spugs have an uphill task but as they start scattered all over the board can catch the humans in nasty cross fires.
Historical Outcome
The scenario was played on an 8' by 4' table with the landing site at one end and the outpost at the other, between the two were many rock piles that interrupted vision, and an abandoned truck that the Spugs were examining.
The VTOL touched down dropped the forces off and flew off to check the area. Whilst the Spugs shock themselves out and tried to find good positions the milita rushed forward whilst the regulars set up a solid firebase.
d'Armand found two Spugs attempting to flank the firebase but was driven off by heavy fire, it took a long time before he returned.
In the middle of the board heavy cover allowe dthe Spugs to slowly advance whilst the leader lurked behind a hill and directed them. The firebase though prevented the Spugs from linking up and pinned them behind the truck for a long time.
Whilst everyone's attention was on the firefight the two flanking Spugs hosed the firebase down with their shock rifles, Schanchequill failed to get any of this on camera and ran for cover.
Sergeant B'weena railled her forces and took the fight back to the flanking Spugs, then d'Armand returend and using the chain gun finished any chance of resistance.
As more Spugs crawled away crucnched the Sub-leader JJaag decided to run for it, but was cut down as he touched the beach.
Schanchequill came out of cover and again failed to get any decent pictures as B'weena captured one of the crunched Spugs.
