Hi everyone,
                              Here is me working out the first campaign turn information for the upcoming  5150 Star Army V Orks scrap - "Battle at Durk's Compound".

Mission Briefing

Morale - Star Army 3 + (Roll  1d6 = 5) = 8.
                      Orks  3 + (Roll 1d6 = 1) = 4.
So, the Star Army is controlling the planet Jaggren.

The Maximum Investment Level for Star Army = 5.
The Investment Level (IL) for Star Army = 3
The Inclement Weather Level = 6.
The Aerial Recon (MIL + IL = Target Number) 5+3 =  8 . 2d6 Roll = 9. Fail - so no aerial recon.
Mission Intelligence Level 2 + 1 =3, -1 Inclement weather 3-1=2. Patrol 2-1= Score of 1.
Score 1 = Conflicting reports - Counts as "Good".
Force (Mission IL- Ork IL) = 3 -3 = 0. 1 Squad, but no assets.

Squad Orders - Patrol the area around Dirks Compound and report on its suitability to be converted into a forward base of operations. Intel Reports  no hostiles are expected in the area. Local Weather - Poor, but will not hamper operation.

---------------------------------------------------------

The Maximum Investment Level for the Orks = 4.
The Investment Level (IL) for the Orks = 3.
The Inclement Weather Level = 6.
Aerial Recon (MIL + IL = Target Number) 4 + 3 =  5 . 2d6 Roll = 4+1 =3 Success.
Mission Intelligence Level 2 + 1 =3, AR +1 =4 -1 Inclement weather 4-1=3. Patrol 3-1= Score of 2.
Score 2 =  "Good".
Force (Mission IL- SA IL) = 3 -3 = 0. 1 Squad, but no assets.

The Job - "Oy, you, yes you, scruffy. I 'ave a little job for ya. Our scouts say there are some buildings over the next hill, get your sorry little squad over there and see what you can get. No rubbish, mind. You get a quarter share of the loot. Now scram!"

"Yes, Chief Chunky, right away !".

Ok, lets get this show on the road before too long. I have got most of the table set up, but there are still a few design issues to iron out and see what can fit where.

I would have been further along, but I was glued to the crewed Falcon 9 launch on youtube. Currently they are safe in orbit. Stay safe, guys.

The stage is set, as they say, I had various changes of heart as to what should go where. I am doing photos and the dialogue as I go along. I am currently bashing out turn 4 and its not for me to give anything away, except someone wished they had stopped in bed.

Regards all,
