In the Standard Mission scenarios your commander has been given certain tasks to complete in a specified area. Resources are limited and the missions may require a wide variety of different tactics to succeed so choose your forces carefully to ensure that any mission can be undertaken. The following units are available.
Diagram: Standard Missions Force Organisation Chart — Compulsory: 1 HQ, 2 Troops. Optional: 1 more HQ, 4 more Troops, 3 Elites, 3 Fast Attack, 3 Heavy Support. The chart shows the HQ slot linked to the Elites slot, and the HQ slot linked below to four slot groups: Troops, Troops, Fast Attack, Heavy Support.
Forces
Both sides pick forces from the standard mission organisation to an agreed points value.
Terrain
For Standard missions, set up the terrain using any mutually agreeable method.
Your First Battles
If you haven't played any of the standard missions before we'd recommend starting with Cleanse for your first battle and then working your way through the other missions by playing Night Fight and then Patrol and so on. This is because the Standard missions get gradually more complex and introduce more special rules as you go along.
Selecting A Mission
There are 5 Standard missions. Roll a D6 to randomly determine which mission you will be required to undertake.
| Roll | Mission |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cleanse Mission |
| 2 | Night Fight Mission |
| 3 | Patrol Mission |
| 4 | Recon Mission |
| 5 | Rescue Mission |
| 6 | Change of Orders. Last minute orders come through sending your forces into battle! Roll to see which of the Battle scenarios you undertake, and randomly determine (or use strategy ratings) who is the attacker and who is the defender. However, do not reselect your armies – forces remain those chosen from the Standard missions' force organisation chart. |
