The Road Warrior
By Pijlie
Based on
the iconic Mad Max movie this scenario is based on the tanker pursuit in the
final scenes.
Teams
- The Tanker: 67 cans War rig with turret mounted MGs on the rig and a forward ram on the cab.
- The Escort: 40 cans of Escort Vehicles
- The Pursuers: 80 cans of Pursuit vehicles. There may be more than one Pursuit Team.
War Rig suggestions
·
Reinforce
with Armour Plating (+2 hull pts).
·
The
War Rig Crew has an Onboard Mechanic.
Table & Deployment
The
table features a straight road running
lengthwise theough the middle. Place pieces of blocking terrain alongside the
road to block lines of fire and force maneuvering.
- The Escort starts within a Long Move of the Tanker.
- The pursuers start at the sides of the table within one Long Move of its starting edge.
Table suggestions:
Use three
to four table panels that hopscotch over each other to create an “endless”
table.
Scenario:
- The tanker must either exit the table on the opposite edge or survive 3 Turns
- The War Rig must be captured intact to win.
- Shoot the Tyres! When shooting or ramming the War Rig the attacker may choose to inflict Hazard instead of damage. Roll as per normal attack. A score of 1 inflicts normal damage on the War Rig. A score of 6 inflicts 1 Hazard instead of damage.
- Damage must be Evaded first by the Tanker before Hazards can be Evaded.
- The War Rig is captured by the player who occupies the Cab. Mind you, the Rig crew may attempt to recapture the Cab…..
- If the War Rig is destroyed, the game is a draw.
Boarding rules
- Single crewmembers may leave their vehicles to Board and act as an independent “vehicle” from then on. Using miniature figures for boarders is recommended.
- A War Rig may be Boarded by any vehicle crew within Short Move Range of Cab OR Rig. See Movement below. If successful place a Crew figure on the appropriate War Rig part as close as possible to its point of entry.
- Boarding Crewmembers still in their vehicle may Activate in the same Activation as their vehicle. Once having left their vehicle they count as a separate “vehicle”.
- Boarders may roll up to 3 Shift Dice.
- Boarders may move Short Moves for each Shift result, gain or lose Hazard as normal and fire a Handgun at the end of their movement.
- Boarding or Moving on a Whiped Out vehicle (in Gear 1) yields a free Shift result for the Boarder.
- Boarding or Moving on a driving vehicle in Gear 2 or higher yields an automatic +1 Hazard.
- Boarders on a vehicle that Whipes Out or Collides gain +1 Hazard.
- Boarders on a vehicle that Wrecks gain +2 Hazard.
- Boarding Crewmembers ignore Spin
- An uncancelled Slide of Whipeout results in the Boarder falling from the vehicle.
- Crewmembers falling from a vehicle driving in Gear 2 or higher are killed.
- Crewmembers may fire at other Crew members on the same (part of the) vehicle or (as normal) on other vehicles outside the vehicle they are on and hit on a 4+.
- Boarders that leave their original vehicle leave it 1 crew short. A vehicle that loses its last Crew immediately Whipes Out and then becomes a Wreck.
