Battle of Montreal

I came up with this scenario after reading the short description of Ogres seeing combat for the first time in the Battle of Montreal in the Ogre timeline and went from there. the scenario is decidedly weighted in favor of the Combine, but as this is a "historical" scenario this might be alright. As a side note on the theme of this scenario this is in no way supposed to be political and is based on a theoretical future in an alternate universe and in no way represents my actual views on this region or any current, past or future events in the world. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for the sequel!

The Battle of Montreal: David and Goliath

Even before the North American Combine was formed out of Mexico Canada and The United States there was talk of Quebec ceding from Canada, and they were less than happy with becoming part of an even larger empire. When the Combine government repeatedly refused to recognize their French heritage and refused to allow them to keep the French language, this only exacerbated the situation. As the Combine continued to take away the civil rights of their citizens, passing the “Faceless Citizen Act” in 2064, this raised tensions once more and led the state of Quebec to rebel against the oppressive regime of the Combine. Quebec expected a Paneuropean intervention, but with relations already poor Paneurope would not risk open war with the Combine. In 2065 Québéc separatist riots and strikes lead to full-scale revolution. Ogres see combat for the first time in the Battle of Montréal. The Mark I’s brutalized the city, civilians and soldiers both. The rebellions losses in this battle were catestrophic and led to a rebel route with units from Montreal and other areas retreating towards Quebec City...

Game rules:

-Civilian Rioters spawn 1 per turn in any city area

-Bridges are destroy-able SP=20

-The Combine objective is to take the city and destroy as many rebels as possible. If at any point there are no Quebec forces within the city it is an instant Combine Victory.

-If all Combine Forces are destroyed it is an instant Quebec Victory.

-After Quebec forces have lost 35 units, militia, tanks, infantry, guns, etc. they begin rolling for surrendering every turn, on a 6 they surrender. Add 1 to the die roll for every 10 units above that.

-If the Combine player loses all Ogres (reduced to 0 treads) they begin rolling for moral every turn, on a 6 they retreat, each turn after the first add one to the dice roll.

-The game also ends after 25 turns, in some form of a draw

A Storm Over Syria

This is a scenario that I came up with about five years back and ran, I just recently ended up transferring it to the computer and updating the rules and forces from when I ran it years ago, Though the premise is a little unrealistic (A meeting engagement at a city, it worked pretty well and was  a lot of fun for a 3 player non-allied game, though it should be noted that the Syrian force is not supposed to be balanced and has very little chance of winning. Because of this I played as the Syrian force while teaching two friends how to play, allowing me to play but also to have my friends fight it out. As a side note on the theme of this scenario this is in no way supposed to be political and is based on a theoretical future in an alternate universe and in no way represents my actual views on this region or any current, past or future events in the world. Anyway I'll probably post more scenarios if you guys like them as I have 7 fully completed ones and a number of others in development. Enjoy!

A Storm Over Syria: The Battle for the Middle East

In 2021 the Arabian Confederation formed out of the old Arab league fearing for their safety as super-nations sprung up across the globe. Israel did not join the Confederation, despite heavy pressure from her neighbors, relying on her United States and later Combine ties for protection. The Arabian Confederation brought a level of stability to the region not known since the days of ancient Rome. Although the Confederation cooperated fairly well they lagged militarily and technologically behind most of the world excepting Africa. In 2030 Israel united its country by abolishing the Palestine Zone using questionable methods and Combine support, despite Paneuropean outcry. In the years leading up to the last war Israel implemented heavy military building and creation of land and sea fortifications. When the Combine invaded North Africa in Spring 2074 Israel remained officially neutral. The Arabian Confederation strongly opposed the Combines North African Campaign, sending supplies and non-military aid to the beleaguered non-united African nations. Despite the Arabian Confederation and Paneuropean Federations best efforts all of North Africa folded within the year, some Combine forces pushed South consolidating more ground, but the vast majority of Combine forces pushed east to Egypt stopping only at the Suez Canal in November 2074. Paneurope attempted to broker military access to the Arabian Confederation to liberate North Africa, failing as the Arabian Confederation still hoped to remain neutral. Despite this in January 2075 the Combine launched a joint attack on the Arabian Confederation over the Suez Canal and by sea invading Iran and India. The same week that Combine troops landed, Paneurope invaded the Arabian Confederation along her boarders throwing the already disarrayed Confederation into total chaos. Paneurope successfully negotiated military access from Turkey separately from the confederation, quickly incorporating them into the Paneuropean government structure. Paneuropean forces drove South and East to meet the incoming combine forces. Israel invaded Syria soon after linking up with Combine troops and pushing North, this prompted the Paneuropeans to attempt a sea invasion of Israel with disastrous results.

The year is 2075, Syria. Israel and Combine forces attempt to push their way through Syria Lebanon and Jordan meeting little local resistance, only to encounter the Paneuropean spearhead moving in from the North. The forces clashed at Ar Raqqa, one of the last cities in the region still garrisoned with active organized Arabian troops. As Paneurope still lacked Superheavy tanks and Ogres They relied on large numbers of heavy tanks and mobile Artillery to pack offensive punch. The Combine had yet to develop the Mark 5 and still used front-line Mark I, II and III’s, the combine forces have been continually fighting and are thus without missilesin their Ogres. The Syrian defense force is battle weary and out matched. The defense force is made up of elements of Syrian, Iraqi, Jordan and Saudi Arabian forces that have regrouped in Ar Raqqa. Both the Combine and Paneuropean forces are attempting to take the city but Arabian forces have nowhere to retreat to and will fight to the last man.

Scenario Rules:

This is a 3 player scenario though two player could fairly easily play each attacking side.

Arabian force sets up first.

Combine and Paneuropean players role for first turn, the winner chooses whether to set up first and go first or whether to set up second and go second.

The Arabian force goes last.

The game ends after 15 turns

1-2 VP’s is a major defeat

3 VP is a marginal defeat

4-5 VP’s is a marginal victory

6-7 VP’s is a major victory
