So I wanted an easy to track campaign that I could just chuck together. Project Requirements
Portability.
Variety of Theatres.
Quick set-up.
Ability to “Save Point” the game.
Progress easy to track.
No calculations.
I randomised Missions & Objectives, but wanted more than just a list to track successes and failures.
Each Mission & Objective combo was given a location.
To speed setup, all skills, equipment, traits were merged into “one” card with all calculations done.
Southern Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit’s forces have dispersed making movement hazardous.
Agricultural Zone: It’s quiet right up until it’s not. Encounter one RPG armed soldier, wounded, taken for questioning, after giving up local Stronghold died of his injuries.
Stronghold: Heavy Military Presence. Intel gathered, MG Cart encountered on leaving area, Flanking Attack and Double Tap followed by weapon inspection and Reload.
RPG Soldier
Rough Climb: Climbing rock face north of the Stronghold reveals RPG Nest harbouring 3 enemies. A practised fast draw from Tactical Holster, followed by Flanking Attack, Stealth Kill & Double tap takes care of all three.
River Crossing: Dropping to River on other side of the ridge I panic two Gunners. Nothing fancy just two clean shots deals with them. Open Desert: The slope levels to reveal a 3-man squad running. A quick Reload, then two Snap Shots and a Double Tap take care of them. IED spotted on track leading to Grassy Field. Grassy Field: A Relaxed Guard quickly dispatched. Another Reload before I enter the village on far side of field. Rural Housing: Objective is in sight.
While hiding on edge of village 2 enemy try to sneak up. A fast draw and head shot killing one seems to impress the other as he flees.
Ahead is last Threats to be Eliminated.
Two HMG Nests. Two Trained Gunners.
A 160th SOAR Little Bird takes care of one HMG. A Stealth Attack and Double Tap takes out the other. Caution helped negate would could have been a nasty wound. Luckily this looks like the last of the enemy force, as no reinforcements arrive.
My luck runs out as I need to reload twice before I can get a magazine which is dirt free. The enemy rush my position (I guess they believed me to be out of ammo). I take one at the very close range and a Point Blank shot to down the last off them.
