Genghis Con 2017 - Opal Harbor - MARS ATTACKS
« on: January 11, 2017, 11:39:36 pm »
MARS ATTACKS – OPAL HARBOR
A Dystopian Wars Ambush Scenario
Background:
Babylon Base was established so the two great Alliances could meet to negotiate in neutral waters. A solemn oath by the Prussian High Command, and the guarantees of the Antarctican Science Council have ensured the base is protected as neutral ground.
Six great fleets, and Ambassadors and Heads of State from many nations have arrived for midwinter peace talks, counting on the cold weather to ensure cooler heads prevail.
What was not counted upon was agents of the Red Planet knowing of the meeting, and sending their own delegation. A sword of Damocles has descended, intent on decapitating Earth’s leadership.
•   Limit 6 Player Spots – Players should bring up to 1000pts of Dystopian Wars models from a single faction. 2 Players may team up for a single slot, each only bringing 500 if they wish.
•   At least 50% of a fleet’s forces must be Naval or Diving, with the exception that ONE Dreadnought Robot may be used as the mandatory Large-Plus model. Normal fleet composition rules otherwise apply.
•   Player Fleets are deployed docked in island or Babylon Base ports along one long edge, all within 12” of that table edge. All models will be facing their Fore Arc into the dock.
•   All player models, even 360 movement models, must spend the first turn with a Low Speed Maneuver Marker backing out of dock. Once they are “clear” they may remove the Low Speed marker.
•   No SAS tokens may start launched, nor launch on the first turn.
•   Terrain will include icebergs, islands, and at least one water-fortification representing Babylon Base. A random player will control the Base on the first round, and control will pass counter-clockwise.
•   The Martians will deploy 3000pts within 12” of the opposite long edge.
•   Martians will have the first turn.
•   The game ends after 7 turns maximum.
•   Prizes will be given for:
o   Highest Combined Total of slain Martian MFV plus remaining own MFV
o   Best Painted
o   Best Sportsmanship
•   If the Martians destroy all Earth models, no prizes will be awarded. 

Registered! Bringing my FSA. Mostly naval, some aerial forces.

Dale, scenario looks great, thanks for putting it together.

Stephan is bringing them. Whether he'll want to run them, or join the doomed humans, is TBD. :-)

BTW, we can definitely use water or space mats and terrain over the weekend, if you have some to bring.

Ok cool.

I just found out I have a work thing on that Friday morning that I can't get out of, so I won't be at the con until close to 1. Maybe I can play late reinforcements in the DW game? You are welcome to use my sea mat (I have the Fat Mat sea mat now) and my space mat (the Hubble picture, we've used it before at the Haven) for the Firestorm and Halo games. I have a GW green grass mat as well for the Halo ground game, unless someone has a better option.

Dale will you be there Thursday evening? I can give you the mats then if you'd like.

I wasn't planning to be there Thursday. Are you down here at all this week? Or is there a way to get the mats to Stephan?

OK, if you guys can cover it, I won't bother delivering my sea mat to Stephan prior to the con.

I'll bring my DW stuff, but like I said I can't make it until probably 1 p.m. on Friday. Maybe my FSA can be the reserve fleet? Dale, I'll also bring my space mat so you can use it during the Firestorm event on Saturday.

I'm working through Friday but I'll get by on Saturday and at least watch the FSA game a bit.
