This scenario is inspired by "The First Battle of Vallin Farm" p.69 of Tomorrow's War's rulebook with the following modifications:

- 8 turns of play;
- an other order of battle :

5x Unicorn Scout Vehicle (Wolf)
2x Unicorn Squad (6 Fireteams)
1x Terminal Air Controller : +2 (on GRID, laser designator) ; AP:10D / AT(H):8D

HELLJUMPERS (=REPUBLIC OF ARDEN)
3x Workers Fireteams

Special Rule: Dropping the Grid
Since Unicorn has lost the previous battle : Roll 1D6 at the beginning of each turn after the first – on a roll of 5+ the UNICORN Grid goes down for the duration of the game.

THE BATTLE
Avant la bataille les troupes de choc des mercenaires d'Unicorn Unlimited embarquent dans leurs APC.

Before the battle, the shock troops of Unicorn Unlimited embark in their APC.



Venant du Nord, les forces d'Unicorn avancent prudemment bombardant impunément les ouvriers et les Helljumpers visibles.

Coming from the North, Unicorn forces are advancing cautiously bombarding workers and Helljumpers with impunity.










Une tempête de sable se lève et prive les forces d'Unicorn d'un soutien aérien bien utile.

A sandstorm rises and deprives the Unicorn's forces of a very useful air support.



Au deuxième tour, un APC et un tank viennent renforcer la défense. Le tank, bien camouflé, parvient à détruire un tank moyen adverse.

On the second turn, an APC and a tank reinforce the defense. The tank, well camouflaged, manages to destroy an enemy medium tank!








Un char lourd (Grizzly) se met en position pour tirer mais rate sa cible. Le tank des PDF réplique et détruit un deuxième char ! L'offensive d'Unicorn faiblit.

A heavy tank (Grizzly) moves into position to shoot but misses its target. The PDF tank replies and destroys a second tank! The Unicorn's offensive weakens.




Bloquées au centre les forces d'Unicorn tentent de contourner l'obstacle par la gauche (ouest) avec un char moyen (Bullfrog) et par la droite (est) avec les véhicules légers (Wolf). L'équipage du Bullfrog avance à peine (carte Fog of War) tandis que les véhicules Wolf subissent les tirs des Battle Armors des Helljumpers qui viennent d'être déployées.

Unable to move in the center of the Unicorn forces attempt to bypass the obstacle on the left (west) with a medium tank (Bullfrog) and right (east) with light vehicles (Wolf). The crew of the Bullfrog scarcely advance (Fog of War card) while the light vehicles are under fire from Helljumpers' Heavy Battle Armors which have just been deployed.





Sur le flanc gauche (ouest) les forces d'Unicorn parviennent à détruire ou endommager les Battle Armors. Cependant un échange de tirs entre le dernier Grizzly d'Unicorn et l'héroïque char des PDF se solde par l'abandon du Grizzly par son équipage secoué par les tirs.

On the left side (west) Unicorn forces managed to destroy or damage the three Battle Armors. However, a firefight between the last Unicorn Grizzly and the heroic PDF's tank ends with a crew shaken by the shootings who bails out the Grizzly!




L'offensive est stoppée, c'est une victoire pour les Helljumpers et les forces de la liberté !

The offensive is stopped, it is a victory for the Helljumpers and the forces of freedom!



Les mercenaires d'Unicorn finiront par occuper Caydon's Hole mais trop tard.

Unicorn Unlimited's Mercenaries will eventually occupy Caydon's Hole but too late.



Le commandant de l'offensive sera dégradé pour sa trop grande prudence.

The commander of the offensive will be degraded for being too cautious.

Cependant Bright Horizon n'est pas encore libérée...

But Bright Horizon is not yet liberated...
