The point of the meeting was to go over the game, test out a Quickwars reference card I've been working on and introduce the Heroic Escapade some of the factions listed here you will see again (I hope) and some probably not.
Westland Resources Run
Skirmish for the Stalled APC
Background: Ever since their victory at the Second Battel for the Back Deck the Empire of the Ever Burning Star has maintained its "peace" upon the Aserfray Alleyvay Galaxy. With the passage of time the empire has becomes complacent allowing its armies' to shrink and its weaponry to stagnate, though its enemies were defeated they were not vanquished and they have been waiting in the shadows along with those ready for a chance to strike back at their oppressors.
The Imperial Infantry, back bone of the Empire
This Land of Waste refereed by many names but most conveniently The Waste Land are rich in Tiberium and not much else Impearl forces have lazily maintained control over this area. Seeing an opportunity to destabilize this empire a group of agents from an unknown faction have been reaching out and presented an opportunity to strike back.
Agents of an unknown organization, something seems unnatural about them
They have passed on information that precious cargo is being carried by a poorly armed group of infantry, the APC they ride in has been poorly maintained and patrols are disorganized. If it were to brake down it would be easy pickings.

Because of the nature of my sceneries being somewhat unbalanced I ask that you the reader posthumously award a Benny to any player who you thought did well despite the odds (or did something in the spirite of Kaos or owesome).
This is just the start of a heroic escaped and the recourses and Bennys gained will carry on in to future battels.
