Downed aircraft

Reports have filtered in to Baron Otterford's HQ that a plane has crashed near the old quarry south of Priors' Park Wood. Little do the ROV LDB know that the passengers that parachuted to safety are none other than the younger brother of the BUF XI Legion Commander and his mistress. A BUF flying column is rushing to rescue the wayward couple while ROV defenders move to the scene of the crash.

Played with heavily modified Force on Force rules. While I like the combat mechanism, the rest is very complicated for solo play. I used the double-blind activation from Combat Patrol, and used random move distances.

View from the ROV side...crashed plane in the quarry,  the wayward couple hiding in the building.

ROV forces rapidly make it to the building and take the pair into custody...then get a barrage of incoming fire.

BUF forces set up overwatch down this long lane...it will be important later.

ROV squad moves on the BUF flank.

Fire Fighters move towards the crash to put out the flames...big mistake.

The local police have taken the couple into custody and are headed south.

BUF have suppressed the ROV defenders at the building and are making a close assault.

Firefight on the flank heats up.

BUF legionaries kill 2 firefighters and take the other 2 prisoner.

Coppers are making the getaway.

BUF team checks the wreckage for survivors. 

Friendly fire while the police cross the lane with their prisoners. 

Despite heavy casualties, the ROV LDB now has a very important prisoner. Too bad his mistress caught a round from the BUF team on overwatch and was killed just as they were about to reach cover.
