Installation Attack Scenario
Naval Outpost
- The naval base is built on the surface of a large asteroid, it's power generation, shield generation and fighter facilities are buried far below it's surface. The surface batteries are in shielded areas on the surface of the planetoid. Each surface battery is treated as a simple vessel in it's own right, any elements in each surface group (A-Bat,FireCon & PDAF) are checked for when that group reaches a threshold check as normal.
- The main vulnerability of installation is to surface troops (Grav AFV's and Power armour). Surface troops once landed are handled as a fighter group but ignore the installations shields. The installations PDAF in each group may be used against surface forces attacking said group. Surface troops may be dropped from suitable transports within 8" of the planetoid. They are launched and landed in one move during the fighter movement phase. Each lander from the standard assault transport carries one such surface element, for purposes of this scenario each transport only has 2 units aboard. Surface units may be targeted from space only by fighters which require a six to do a point of damage. Ground units may choose to defend themselves against fighters and always counts as 1 PDAF in this mode.
- This installation is obviously intended to be the focal point of a scenario and we assume that the attackers wish to capture the main underground portion un-damaged so we've not taken into account it's damage values, only those of it's surface defences. Once the surface batteries are destroyed and there are attacking surface forces remaining, it is assumed captured.
