The Battle for Pluto

Complexity Game Master Game Type Players
Moderate Mike Webb FT Variant (3D/Star Trek) 12
Description
The Dominion continues to make gains in Federation territory - but supply lines are stretching thin. The Federation and its Klingon allies make a daring strike to destroy a key supply depot and Ketracel-White production facility before the Dominion can shore up defenses in the forward areas. Success means a slowdown of the advance. Failure leaves hundreds of worlds open for conquest.

TABLE #4
Broken Contract
Complexity Game Master Game Type Players
Moderate John Lerchey DS3 Playtest 4-8
Description
Hope. Five years ago the Order of Man descended and took control of the planet. The mining consortium, manufacturing industry, and for that matter, everything else was turned into a support system for the Order's expantionist machine.

Fourteen months ago the uprising started. Revolution. Guerilla warfare only goes so far, however. The Revolutionists hired a mercenary company - the "Divine Storm" to add some professional punch to their plans. The Divine Storm, a sanctioned Imperial Japanese mercenary company was renowned for it's high-speed, high-tech grav forces being able to surgically strike at enemy forces. For four months the revoltion hacked and hammered away at Order command, supply, and combat assets.

Present day...

Colonel Itaro Keisuke read the comm one more time. It was three days old, but he still seethed inside every time he read it.

"Colonel. I only have a short time to get this comm out to you. The contract is broken! Our *glorious* leaders surrendered to the Order Cardinal yesterday. As part of the deal, they are terminating your contract. You have safe passage from the planet, but only so long as your forces are IN the space port at New Calais! They gave Inquisitor Raben your location. Your only chance is to get to New Clalais before you are destroyed! This warning is the best that I can do for you! Out."

For 3 days the Divine Storm played hide and seek with the Order armor and infantry. The only way to make it to New Calais was through the pass at Jenkens crossing.

"Some things are inevitable," thought Keisuke. "Too early to write my death poem though. We can punch through if we are bold and smart."

"Tamae! How many Kame do we have operational?" "Sir! We have all six functioning again, Sir!" "Very well. Inform Yoriko-san to deploy them. And get the troops prepared to move out in 15 minutes. We're going through that valley."

NOTE: The activation and resolution system used in DS3 is optimally designed for 2 players. Depending on forces are divided up by the players, it is possible that there will be significant time during which one or more players will not be directly invovled in the action. Please be prepared to observe what is happening with your team mates, or bring a book. :)

TABLE #6
Professor Erasmus's Liniment of Everlasting Youth, Part 1
Complexity Game Master Game Type Players
Introductory Damond Walker and Jerry Accord FMA Skirmish 6
Description
Nickel Junction, 1879: "Thank ye' kindly for the drink, feller. Yessir, as I was a-sayin', it all started with that damned snake oil saleman - 'Professor Erasmus' he called hisself. I knowed he was trouble soon as I laid my one good eye on him. But folks'll believe any old crap ya tell them if'n they're desperate enough - and with three dry summers in a row, folks 'round town were lookin' fer miracles wherever they could find 'em. And he had 'em, in colored bottles, large 'n small. Ointments, salves, creams, and oils - he had it all, and for every occasion. And there was his "Liniment of Everlasting Youth" - made from a secret formula used by Egyptian priests for mummies and I don't know what all else - just a bunch o' hogwash if you asked me. Or so I thought. We should've run him outta town when we had the chance."

"We don't get visitors much these days after the troubles of years past. Call me crazy (and maybe I am fer stickin' round these parts) but folks of gentler constitutions moved on after dealin' with the walkin' dead. Those that survived anyways."

Part 1 of a two-part FMA Skirmish zombies game set in the Old West. Setup for part 2 will depend on the outcome of part 1. You do not need to sign up for both parts to play in one.
