SG-19 Mission One: SG-9 is missing...

I'm starting a campaign in the Stargate universe with 5150: New Beginnings by Two Hour Wargames. This campaign is about a SG team: SG-19.



SG-9, a diplomatic team led by attorney major Stan Kovachek, disappeared while conducting a diplomatic mission on planet Edora. SG-19 is sent to Edora to investigate...

I roll for the mission with 5150:NB tables and I adapt the results for my campaign (maybe it should be easier with After the Horsemen tables, because in this game the encounters are mostly outside cities).

ENCOUNTER # 1
ENCOUNTER NAME : SG-9 is missing…
DATE : July 21, 1997.
TYPE : Raid
OBJECTIVE : Find SG-9, a diplomatic team led by attorney major Stan Kovachek. They disappeared while conducting a diplomatic mission on planet Edora.
EMPLOYER : U.S. (Local) Government
PRE-ENCOUNTER INTEL : 5
AREA : planet Edora
DAY PART : Day
TERRAIN : see the map below
LAW LEVEL : = Encounter Rating 5
WEATHER : Clear
PEF : 2 in the area (p. 117)
CHARACTERS : SG-19
Major Rise, Sergeant Kovach, Corporal Stone, Pvt O'Brian

The diplomatic discussions were to take place in a temple with a strong symbolic value in the eyes of Edorians. This temple is not far from the Stargate.
SG-19 is coming from the East. The temple is on the center. Two Possible Enemy Forces (PEF) have been detected.

PEF 1 moves toward the temple meanwhile PEF 2 splits in two.

SG-19 splits also in two: Major Rise and O'Brian are moving to the north side of the hill, Kovach and Stone to the south's.

O'Brian advances cautiously toward PEF 1 in the temple.

And he discovers: four Jaffas!

I resolved the PEF with the table p. 117 with the following modifiers:
- nada = nada
- LWC = Edorians
- Police = SG-9
- CE = Jaffas
I determined their number normally using the How Many table p. 118.

Time for the In Sight Test! All the Jaffas aren't taking the test, only he that could actually see O'Brian. Two successes for both: they will fire simultaneously.

Only O'Brian's fire is effective.

Two Jaffas are down (an out of the fight and a stun) and the two others flee!

Major Rise runs to dispatch the stunned Jaffa.


The two others PEF are approaching but the team is up.

It's SG-9 (PEF3) followed by angry Jaffas (PEF2)!!!!!!!!

Time for an other In Sight Test! First it's between SG-9 and the Jaffas. SG-19 has no line of sight for now.

BEFORE
AFTER

 Two Jaffas are down (Stun + OD). Two soldiers ducked back and one is down (stunned). Fortunately Stan Kovachek managed to run behind SG-19.

With two Jaffas in line of sight SG-19 opened fire (I added SG-19 to the ongoing In Sight Test, p. 41).

Hard times for the Jaffas...

Taking advantage of this respite one of the soldiers will rescue the stunned soldier...

... and Stan Kovachek is escorted to safety.

To cover the withdrawal, Rise throws a smoke grenade.

A mad Jaffa runs through the smoke and is killed by the covering fire...



The mission is a success with all the men (of the two teams) back to SGC. 

Since all the requirements are met, all the members of SG-19 can try to raise their REP or Skill (p. 140).

Stargate Bad Guys

Since we met previously the good guys for my Stargate campaign with 5150: New Beginnings, it's about time to introduce the Bad Guys:

Mornak, Anubis' favorite clone.



Jackals (Mornak's shock troops)


Jaffas

When Adventures in the Lost Lands meets WH40k

What to do when you want to play Adventures in the Lost Lands (AitLL) without Pulp miniatures? I worked out an adventure for my GW Imperial Guards.

Look at that! It's a fuc... dinosaur!
The air assault on Calistra went bad. A traitor fleet was in ambush behind the moon. Our assault shuttle was hit and crash-landed 800 klicks from our landing zone, in the middle of a very hostile jungle. Rather than wait for a rescue mission we were tasked to find the passenger (Col. Frazer) of an escape pod from the battle cruiser Bright Star...



I played a RESCUE scenario (Adventures in the Lost Lands p. 52) with a slightly modified PEF Resolution-Lost World Expedition table (AitLL, p. 45):
- A, B, C, D work the same;
- E, F: it's the target!
- G: it's the target and their escape pod!

The rescue patrol led by Lt Brenner:

INTO HE WILD...



Eventually we managed to find Col. Frazer without finding a dinosaur (for the moment).

Col. Frazer
But we have to cross the jungle to a safe landing zone to be evacuated...
