Jali By Night - a counter-terrorist mission

Here's a two-player scenario with a small twist, which ideally needs an umpire to preserve the fog of war. A terrorist cell has been active; the local counter-terrorism teams are keeping a close eye on them, waiting to round up the entire network. However, special forces from a foreign power have been assigned to kill or capture the terrorists... The terrorists are unaware that they are under observation; the counter terrorist teams are unaware of the special forces; and the special forces are unaware of the counter terrorist teams. In the confusion, the terrorists *might* just escape...

Set the hot spots up (mid-point of bottom edge; bottom right corner; mid-point of left edge; top right corner; mid-point of right edge), then place the terrorists in a building towards the centre of the board. Next get the counter-terrorist teams to designate their set up; they should be in line of sight of the terrorists, but at least 6" away. Teams may be spread out, one team per building. Do not place them on the table yet. Next, get the Westerosians to set up in the top left corner (their alternative exfiltration point is the bottom right corner), and start the game.

Encourage the Khymerians and the Westerosians to believe that their only opponents are terrorists for as long as is possible. Be aware that the UAV is likely to spot Khymerian movements in the open or on roofs.

Jali By Night

Khymerian Briefing

Western tourists have always been an easy target of religious fanatics, and the detonation of bombs in a Farkarta nightclub was no exception. There were 57 killed (12 of them being Westerosian), and many wounded, the majority being local Khymerese. Relationships between Khymeria and Westeros have broken down, with the Westerosian government blaming official Khymerian collusion with the bombers, which is patently false.

Khymerian Intelligence has identified the perpetrator as Ali Bebak, and has tracked him down to a hideout in the town of Jali. He is under observation by Pokassus Counter Terrorism teams to see who he contacts, in order to try to snare all of his network in the one go.

Westerosian Briefing

Western tourists have always been an easy target of religious fanatics, and the detonation of bombs in a Khymerese nightclub was no exception. There were 57 killed (12 of them being Westerosian) and 20 wounded; there was predictable outrage in Westerosia. The Khymerian authorities seemed to lack the will to prevent the bombers – led by the known terrorist Ali Bebak – from striking again, despite the Westerosian Intelligence Agency identifying the suspects and probable whereabouts to their Khymerian opposite numbers. Frustrated by this, and feeling the need to ‘do something’, the Westerosian government has decided to authorise a covert mission to capture or kill Ali Bebak on Khymerian soil.

Scenario Information

Duration of Game: 8 turns

Initiative: Westerosian player starts with initiative. Dice from turn after shooting starts, or after Westerosians identified.

Mission

Insert ground elements by night, capture or kill all identified terrorists, and exfiltrate back across the border before the Khymerian authorities can react. (Either exfiltrate back to where you started, or the opposite board corner). A small unarmed drone is in an overhead orbit providing vision to your command and control element, and cancelling any terrorist Out of Contact movement. For obvious reasons, you must ensure that no man is left behind – the Westerosian government will deny any involvement.

Victory Points

·         Each terrorist captured: 5 points

·         Each terrorist killed: 1 point

·         Ali Bebak captured: 10 points

·         Ali Bebak killed: 5 points

·         All ground elements in one of the exfil zones by end of turn 8: 5 points
