Mau-ti Supply Depot

Hebei province, liao

prefecture v, tHe republic of tHe SpHere

14 July 3134

The blackness slowly congealed into colors, rst red then orange thenshading into yellows and greens and blues until nally her vision was

mostly normal. She shook her head to clear it, immediately cursing as

pain ricocheted around inside her skull. She coughed and was not sur-

prised to see a smattering o blood eck across her console. Her ears were

lled with a high-pitched whine backed by a roar like a tornado.

As she gained her bearings, she noticed that everything seemed o-

kilter, as i the world had suddenly tilted a ew degrees o horizontal. It

took her several seconds to realize that it was her Mech leaning to the

let, not her reality. Her let arm had been slammed against the side wall

o the cockpit by the weight o her own body and was starting to throb

with pain. She tried to shit her body but ound hersel too stunned to do

more than wiggle about ineectually. A glance at her monitors showed

her little but staticky and eeting images that didnt make a whole lot o

sense. From what little she could make out, a jumble o noise emanatedrom her speakers, a testimony that others were experiencing the same

disorientation as hersel.

I am Knight-Errant Eve Kincaid o The Republic o the Sphere , she recited

in her mind. I am on the planet Liao. I was ghting the... MAC... at... Mau-ti?

Yes, that seemed right.

The uzz in her brain was gradually ebbing, replaced more and more

by the world around her. She could now see out the erroglass cockpit

window. Judging by the view, she was leaning against some kind o

groundcar or other small vehicle that had obviously broken her all. But

what had knocked her down?

Shaking her head again, Eve reached or the joystick controls o her

Mech. Powering through the nausea that arose in her stomach rom such

an eort, she ocused her concentration through her neurohelmet while

simultaneously working the oot pedals until her BattleMecha Mad CatIII, she recalledwas once more standing erect. The eort weakened her,

but she could eel her strength beginning to return.

Eve looked down through her cockpit window to see what

had propped her up. Looked like maybe a Shandra scout

car, now crushed almost beyond recognition by the

55-ton monster that had allen on it.

er Actual, Tiger Actual. Come in, Tiger

Actual!

Good, her hearing was coming back.

Tiger One, this is Tiger Actual. What

the hell was that? Tentatively, Eve

kicked her Mech into orward

motion, testing out her unsteady

legs one oot at a time. She knewshe could count on her XO

Gino Valenti! to give her a

calm and rational update on

their situation.

Operations gone tits up, boss. Bunker Twos on re and spreading ast.

Bunker One is toast. What do you want us to do?

Thatsnapped her back to reality, memory washing over her like a tidal

ood. They were in the midst o a battle and here she was cautiously test-

ing out her Mech like some virgin cadet. Get with the program, Kincaid.

Though her monitors were still out, Eve now had a clearer view o thebattleeld out her cockpit glass. The spider web o cracks in the center o

the let pane did not obscure the several BattleMechs strewn in various

positions across a paved but potholed ground beore her. Some were

already standing, though unsteadily, while others knelt. Some lay prone

and didnt appear to be unctional at all. Most o them bore the markings

o the Fith Principes Guards. Many more vehicles had been damaged,

ipped, crushed.

Eves step hiccuped as the oot o her Mad Catbriey caught on some-

thing beore pulling itsel ree. Or maybe it was just shock rom the sight

that greeted her when she turned her gaze towards the supply depot her

orces had been guarding.

Where once had stood the two reinorced bunkers o the Mau-ti Supply

Depot, there now was merely destruction. One o the low-slung buildings

was the center o a growing conagration, orange ames licking skyward,punctuated every ew seconds with small detonations as the munitions

stored within added their strength to the blaze. She helplessly watched a

Principes Tundra Wol, silhouetted against the ames, dance to a macabre

tune as its load o missiles overheated and exploded in their bins, jerking

the 75-ton machine around like a marionette.

The other bunker was simplygone. What remained was a smoking

crater and the thinning whisps o a large black cloud billowing upwards to

the heavens. Scattered around the destruction were several BattleMechs

and mangled vehicles. A Balac had crashed headlong into the ground not

twenty meters rom her own position; rom the damage she could see, Eve

guessed it had been ying over the doomed bunker when it erupted and

ung aside like litter. She quickly scanned the wreckage and took a little

comort when she saw the charred outline o a red-plumed knight. That

was a McCarrons Balac, not one o her own. And that over there was a Mc-Carrons Hatchetman with hal its torso caved in, its head barely attached.

But she couldnt gloat too much. Yoshis Firestarter. Stevensons Shock-

wave. The Fox theyd aectionately nicknamed Rumrunner. All hers. All

motionless. Casualties on the eld.

That was that, then. There wasnt any reason to stick around the depot

anymore. Eve Kincaid, Knight-Errant o The Republic o the Sphere, hated

like hell to retreat rom McCarrons assault, but i the supply depot she

was supposed to be protecting was turning to ashes beore her eyes,

shed be better o letting the Cappies have it and saving her own people.

All units, this is Tiger Actual, she transmitted on the Principes tactical

band. Fall back by the numbers. Were history. The words were bitter on

her tongue. The next were almost too much to get out.

Let the oe have their prize.

Welcome to Dark Age Turning Points: Liao, a campaign book designed to give players the opportunity to ght in one o the land-

mark conicts o the Inner Spheres tumultuous history.

The general inormation contained in the Atlas and Combatants sections gives players the tools needed to ght an innite

number o engagements on Liao, while the Tracksection gives details on some o the larger and more pivotal battles o the planetary

struggle. These sections can be used with stand-alone games set in 3134.

The Atlas section presents a global view ollowed by some quick acts about Liao. Included in this section are terrain tables broken

into various categories. These tables can be used as a random chart to determine the maps used in the tracks or simply as a guide to give

you ideas o the types o terrain ound on the world. This section also contains a list o various additional terrain types, environment, and

other rules that can be used to enhance your game experience. All players should agree whether or not to use any or all o these eatures

beore play begins.

The Combatants section gives details on the units who participated in the conict and can be used by players who wish to add

authenticity to their game. While the units who actually participated in the battles are noted, in most cases the numbers on each side are

let undetermined. This allows the players to pursue the tracks with dierent orces as they wish. The rough ratio o orces on each side is

provided as a guideline. Players should eel ree to balance the orces in each track as they see t, whether by battle value, tonnage, totalnumber o Mechs, or whatever else suits them.

The Tracks section presents several key battles that occurred on the world, though they are not the only ones. Players wishing to

incorporate these tracks into their Chaos Campaign campaigns should use the Warchest Points (WP) listed in the brackets. Optional

points are awarded only i the group achieves at least one Objective while using the listed option. Objective points are cumulative as

they are achieved, unless otherwise noted.

The Annex section contains three ofcial Record Sheets. First is the Mad Cat IIIo Lady Eve Kincaid, Knight-Errant o the Republic. Next

is the Yu Huang oSang-shao Carson Rieves o the Dynasty Guard, and nally the Praetorian Mobile HQ used by Shiao-zhang Mai Uhn Wa

throughout the conict.

ATLAS Liao

The planet settled in 2189 and originally named Cynthiana by Elias Liao is a non-

descript and rather dull world with ew outstanding physical eatures or extreme

weather patterns. The vast grasslands on the northern and southern continents o

Nnl and Beil provided ample space to raise livestock. Under Liaos leadership

and with the benet o imported Eridani stallions and other animals, Cynthiana

became a breadbasket world supplying inexpensive oodstus to worlds through-

out the region. By the time Liao died in 2202, the colony had ourished to such an

extent that by popular reerendum the planet was renamed in honor o their leader.

When Devlin Stone claimed Liao as part o his new Republic o the Sphere, the

citizenry was torn between their Capellan heritage and the excitement o the post-

Jihad victory. Though many supported Stones ambitions, just as many, i not more,

were skeptical and wary o leaving the Conederation. Liao was a major target or

the hated Resettlement Directives and Senator Melissa Allard-Liao became a vocal

opponent o the policy until its repeal in 3095.

Tensions between the two sides reached a boiling point in 3111. In that year, a

young RAF lieutenant named Daniel Peterson allowed a single Capellan DropShip

to land on Liao. His hopes or a simple ght to resolve the internal conict between

heritage and progress were dashed when the DropShip disgorged an unexpected

number o Capellan troops into the streets o the capital city o Chang-an. The re-

sulting Liao Massacre (also called the Night o Screams) and the subsequent two

years o war ultimately claimed the lives o millions o citizens, including Lieutenant

Petersons own parents and retired Senator Allard-Liao. In the nal battle in March

3113, Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao himsel took the eld with his orces and ascendedto godhood during the battle. Whatever the true explanation, his body was never

ound and a small cult to his divinity grew up on Liao in the ollowing decades.

The end o the war ailed to bring peace to Liao, however. Students at the rebuilt

Liao Conservatory o Military Arts chaed under what they claimed were anti-Ca-

pellan prejudices. Those cadets who sat courses in Capellan history or culture were

seemingly blacklisted upon graduation, receiving less desirable assignments and

watching their careers stall while their more pro-Republic comrades ared better.

Though the events o 3134 would later provide evidence showing that their claims

were correct, the cadets had to resort to demonstrations and peaceul protests to

mark their resentment. By 3128, two years o manipulation by Capellan agitators

had the Conservatory ready to explode. The seizure o the campus by disgruntled

cadets and the violent reaction by Legate Kang Lo Den resulted in the deaths o

two students. A ull assault on the dissenters was prevented only through the in-

tervention o Paladin Ezekiel Crow. Using his authority, Crow covered up Capellancomplicity in the student revolt and pressured Legate Kang to resign in disgrace.

Though tensions returned to a simmer, the birth o the Ijori D Gung insurgent

group in the wake o the ailed student revolt presaged the troubles to come.

TheLIBeRATIonofLIAo

The HPG blackout triggered long-simmering tensions throughout the

entire Republic but nowhere as much as on the ormer Capellan worlds

o the rimward Preectures. On Liao, nearly six years o insurgency by the

Ijori D Gung already had the government and garrison orces on edge.

It wouldnt take much to send matters spiraling out o control.

The spark that set things o came in late May 3134 as Capellan troops

lunged across the border into The Republic, bent on reclaiming their

lost worlds and exacting revenge or nearly hal a century o perceivedslights. On 7 June, detachments rom the Second McCarrons Armored

Cavalry put down on both inhabited continents o Liao and proceeded

to seize industrial sites and population centers. The appearance o Capel-

lan orces on Liao caused the vocal minority o pro-Capellan citizens and

residentsmostly the latterto swell in numbers and begin a series o

civil disobedience protests. The rst major incident was a labor strike in

the southern industrial city o Jla. The local magistrate shut down all resi-

dential power supply in an attempt to paciy the populace and orce their

return to work but instead triggered several days o rioting that required

martial law to bring it back under control and destroyed large swaths o

the city in re.

Within two weeks o landing, the MAC orces had wreaked havoc on

Republic deenses on Nnl and were beginning to head north to link

up with their comrades on Beil. On 21 June, the swit raiders o McCar-rons orce struck at the city o Opskillion, which was lightly deended by

the Liao Planetary Militia. This lopsided battle against a garrison unused

to action ended quickly. As the Republic troops retreated through the

city, res broke out and Opskillion suered great damage. Though the

government in Chang-an blamed the res on the invaders, some observ-

ers on the scene attributed the two-day conagration to the retreating

militia.

The suppression o the populace and the massive damage done to

Opskillion could not stand. Most o the cadets and many o the aculty at

the Liao Conservatory or the Military Arts, recently renamed The Repub-

lic Conservatory in the wake o continued vandalism and rising unrest,

gathered on campus in an impromptu demonstration. Peaceul at rst,

the gathering turned ugly when Republic troops arrested several o the

organizers, including Mai Uhn Wa, a supposed guest lecturer on Capellan

History and Culture but in actuality an agent sent by Chancellor Daoshen

Liao to destabilize the planet. His arrest and the subsequent use o orce

against the demonstrators by the local militia caused a riot centered

on the Conservatory but spilling out into the streets o the Chang-an

suburbs. The atermath o this riot saw the students seize control o

several buildings on campus and take hostages rom among the loyalist

students, sta and aculty. Less than a week later, all hostages were reed,

though only sixty percent o the sta and ewer than hal o the students

chose to leave.

In the midst o the escalating problems, Knight-Errant Eve Kincaid ar-

rived with reinorcements rom the Fith Principes Guards. Though just a

mixed company in size, Lady Kincaid led her orces into Nnl to chase

down and eliminate McCarrons Armored Cavalry. This task was made all

the more difcult by the propensity or the MAC units to hit and run,

using the speed o their hovercrat and light Mechs to retreat beoreKincaids orces could arrive.

With Capellan and Republic orces struggling or possession o Liao,

it was not surprising that the same tensions that had riven the planet

or decades would erupt within Republic ranks. Loyalties and oaths were

tested by the necessary actions undertaken by Legate Viktor Rusko in

perormance o his duties. Ater the violent end to the riot at the Con-

servatory, a number o the Fith Triarii deected to the students side and

provided the cadets with military expertise. Even remote outposts were

aected: when the Shanto garrison was ordered to break up a protest at

Shanto Preparatory Academy where students had seized campus ofces

in support o the LCMA demonstrators, hal o the garrison sided with

the students.

By the end o June, the Capellan orces on Liao had ree reign over

most o two continents. The MAC seized the northern ranching city o

Xiapu on 30 June, decimating a Triarii company that tried to hold them

o. Just hours ater that battle, the MACs ofcers met with representa-

tives rom the Ijori D Gung and the Conservatory students. The three

groups joined orces.

July brought no relie or the beleaguered Republic troops. Legate

Rusko himsel was caught in an ambush on 10 July while escorting asupply convoy to Chang-an. Knight Kincaid took command o all south-

ern orces but lost a major supply depot at Mau-ti, though a chance

accident also denied the depot to the attackers. On 17 July, long-awaited

reinorcements or the Capellan invaders arrived in the orm o the Dy-

nasty Guard, led by Sang-shao Carson Rieves. These resh troops hit the

remaining industrial sites on Nnl and seriously wounded Knight-Errant

Kincaid. The Republic all but abandoned the southern continent.

But by ar the worst event in July came on the 25th, when Republic air

control in Chang-an, acting on inormation supplied by Major Ritter Mi-

chaelson, ormerly o the Tenth Hastati Sentinels, shot down a DropShip

suspected o carrying Capellan troops into the city. When it was revealed

that the DropShip was actually a medical transport ull o reugees rom

Gan Singh, the capital erupted in an orgy o outraged violence. Within

hours Chang-an was under the control o an angry mob.The end appeared to be nearing as August opened with the Dynasty

Guard suddenly abandoning Nnl to relocate to the Du-jin Mountains

on Beil. This placed them near enough to Chang-an to be a credible

threat, yet they did not immediately press their advantage. Within days

o this relocation, rumors began to crisscross Beil reporting sightings

o the Ascended Sun-Tzu Liao. These quasi-religious maniestations em-

boldened the pro-Liao members o the populace and the countryside

became increasingly hostile to Republic orces.

Determined to retake the capital as the rst step in retaking the planet,

Legate Rusko assaulted the Conservatory at dawn on 4 August. In addi-

tion to their pro-Capellan sentiments, the students and their MAC allies

were driven to win by hatred o Ritter Michaelson, recently revealed as an

alias used by Daniel Peterson, the instigator o the Liao Massacre who

turned out to be the so-called Black Paladin Ezekiel Crow. Many among

the student body had suered losses in 3111 and likewise bore ill-will

stemming rom Crows actions to deuse the student revolt o 3128. The

battle on the Conservatorys parade grounds initially went well or The

Republics deenders. The cadets and their allies aced a hard core o

dedicated loyalists who were determined not to lose the planet. But then

one Mech rom the Principes Guards turned its weapons on a downed

enemy vehicle, roasting alive the helpless cadets inside. The Republic

orces broke in the ace o this barbarism and turned on one another.

Reinorcements rom the Governor, intended to help the Legate win

back control o Chang-an, threw in their lot with the rebellion instead.

With the Dynasty Guards seizure o the eastern DropPort city o Hussan

a ew days later, the loyalist orces were nearly encircled in the LianChang

Military Reserve.

Legate Rusko was aced with a dire choice: ght the Capellans on

Beil and hope or a victory or all back to Nnl and eventually ghtthem there instead. Advised in part by Lady Kincaid and Daniel Peter-

son, he decided a ull-on assault against the Dynasty Guard was his best

hope. I he could prove to the people that the Capellan orces were not

invincible, he might be able to win back their support. He marched his

troops north towards the Guards positions in the mountains, not know-

ing that the reborn House Ijori led the Conservatory cadets, the MAC, and

Governor Lu Pohls orces. The two sides met in the Suriwong Floods and,

mistaking this orce or the Dynasty Guard, Legate Rusko launched his

nal attack. The battle was decided by the arrival o the actual Guard and

a breakthrough action led by Ijori MechWarrior Evan Kurst. Surrendering,

Legate Rusko and any remaining loyalists were permitted to retreat o-

world. Liao was ree o The Republic.

RAT: Capellan Conederation

unit Abilities:The hovertank compa-

nies o Second McCarrons are masters

o the hit and run. Any time their orce

use the Overrun Combat special ability.

In mostly clear or open terrain, they gain a +1 Initiative modier.

Notes: As part o the general Capellan thrust into the Republic, a bat-

talion o the 2nd MAC was sent to Liao by the Strategios to liaise with

local insurgents and prepare the way or the Dynasty Guard. Sao-shao

McCarron was initially wary o the local partisans but quickly came to see

them as allies. Many times, the MAC would nd themselves accompanied

by local armers and ranchers in civilian vehicles and armed with shot-

guns and hunting ries. The majority o this MAC detachment consists o

vehicles only; the unit brought only a single lance o BattleMechs to Liao.

Average Experience: Elite

RAT: Capellan Conederation

unit Abilities: As one o the premier units in the

Capellan Armed Forces, the Dynasty Guard inspires

its allies to greater results. One Guard unit should

always be designated as Sang-shao Rieves; as long as

his unit remains active on the board, the Guard and

all allied orces receive a +2 Initiative bonus. How-

ever, Rieves is prejudiced against irregular orces;

the Guard and their allies suer a -2 penalty to their

Initiative rolls in any engagement where they ght

alongside a non-traditional orce. This penalty replaces the bonus given

when Rieves is on the board.Notes: Led by the haughty Sang-shao Rieves, the Dynasty Guard

was the main orce sent to liberate Liao. They arrived with supplies and

weapons or the local insurgents but Rieves distributed them parsimoni-

ously. The Guard was meant to be the hero o the liberation but they

were overshadowed by the students o the Conservatory and the reborn

Notes:The Light o Ijori was ounded by Mai Uhn Wa in the wake o

the ailed uprising o 3128, intended by the Capellan agent provocateur

to undermine the uneasy peace crated by Ezekiel Crow. When Wa was

recalled to Sian our years later, the movement nearly collapsed but was

Notes: Though their right to acknowledge their Capellan heritage

was upheld by Ezekiel Crow in the atermath o the 3128 Uprising, most

students at LCMA were convinced that showing too much interest would

get them blacklisted in the RAF. Their dissatisaction with this covert

they rose up once more. But it wasnt until records were discovered that

backed up their long-held suspicions that the cadets made their nal

position, the Fith Triarii can roll 1 out o every 4

units o o any RAT in use or the scenario, even

Notes:The Fith Triarii has been used to augment the Liao Planetary

gendering positive eelings or The Republic, the act that the majority o

The Real ThingSITuATIONOpskillionLiao, Republic o the Sphere20 June 3134

The rst major action in the ght or Liao took place near the city o Opskillion on the southern Nnl continent. A mostly sleepy

backwater town whose main claim to ame was the CitruSoda sweetened cola bottling plant located nearby, the local garrison was not

used to seeing any action more strenuous than a heavy training exercise. So when McCarrons Armored Cavalry came to call, they were

hopelessly outclassed.

GAME SETuP

Recommended Terrain: Flatlands, Hill, Light Urban (see p. 263,

TW) or Nnl (see p. 3).

Place 2 mapsheets side by side with the long edges together.

Designate one side as the city limits o Opskillion; this is the De-

enders home map edge. Exiting units o the Deenders home

map edge means those units have entered the city. The Attackers

home map edge is the opposite side.

AttackerRecommended Forces: Second McCarrons Armored Cavalry

The Attacker is 125% o the Deenders deployed orce. No more

than 25% o the Attackers orce can consist o BattleMechs (to a

maximum o 4), the rest should be vehicles and/or inantry. When

determining units randomly, all BattleMechs should be rolled rom

the Light RATs. The Attackers orces should set up within our

hexes o the Attackers home map edge.

Deender

Recommended Forces: Liao Planetary Militia

The Deender places his or her units rst, within our hexes o

the Deenders home map edge. The Deenders orces can contain

no more than one lance o BattleMechs; the rest consists o inan-

try and combat vehicles.

The Salvage rules (see pp. 192-193, SO) may be used by the

player that achieves the most Objective points in the track.

AFTERMATH

As expected by their commander, the local militia was no match

or the resher and more experienced Cavalry troops. When it be-

came clear that they wouldnt be able to hold the line, the militia

orces retreated, hoping to put the city between themselves and the

MAC so they could escape. The res that erupted throughout the

city during their retreat were blamed on the militia by the victori-

ous Capellans and on the Capellans by the planetary government,

though no one could say with any certainty how they really began.

Man, we used to bitch and moan all the time about being

stationed here in Opskillion. Its too hot. The local cuisine tastes

like ass. There is nothing to do in this town when youre o-duty.

The women are stuck up and rigid. We never see any action.

Now they tell us that weve got McCarrons coming down on

us. McCarrons Armored Frickin Cavalry. That aint no pirate raid

SPECIAL RuLES


Crisis o Conscience

One o the worst aspects o civil war is that it pits parent against

child, sibling against sibling, comrade against comrade. The planet

Liao has been subject to divided loyalties since the very beginning

o The Republic and those tensions erupted in 3134. Use these

rules to simulate the shiting allegiances o the time.

Units subject to Crisis o Conscience may switch sides during

a battle when unit(s) rom their own side act in a way they con-

sider dishonorable. Examples o such behavior could include

attacking an enemy unit that has surrendered or is withdraw-

ing, attacking an already-crippled enemy unit, ganging up on

enemy units with a greater than 2:1 ratio, doing more than 30

points o damage to an enemy unit in a single Turn, etc. In theevent o one or more o these conditions, the player subject to

Crisis o Conscience should make a 2d6 roll or each o his or

her units. The deault target number or this roll is 5, modiied

by the ollowing:

tack in the current turn, it will attack at the earliest opportunity. In

addition, the unit will move to deend the enemy who was subject

to the actions that triggered the check. The unit will not attack any

other units rom its ormer side unless attacked rst. I the new side

withdraws rom the eld, the turncoat unit must make another

Conscience check against the same target number as beore; ail-

The grasslands o central Beil can become a aming inerno all

too easily. Any missed weapons re has a chance o igniting the

grass and starting a re. Use the rules or accidental res (see p.

43, TO) and apply a -2 modier to the rst 2D6 roll to represent the

greater chance o sparking a blaze on Liaos prairie.

Stampede!

Xiapu is in the middle o ranching country and vast herds oEridani stallions cross the plains that stretch or hundreds o kilo-

meters around the city. The longer the ght goes on, the greater

the chance that the hue and cry o the battle will spook a nearby

herd and they will stampede right through the battleeld. At the

end o Turn 3, roll 2D6 against a target number o 3; ailure indi-

cates a stampede has begun. At the end o each subsequent turn,

increase the target number by 1 and roll again. Once it has been

determined that a stampede has occurred, randomly select a map

edge and a hex along that edge or its starting location. The initial

path o the stampede will be to cross the map in a straight line

rom that starting hex. There can be a maximum o our stampedes

generated in this way or every two maps used; i the number o

current stampedes meets this limit, no rolls need be made until or

unless one o them either leaves the map or is destroyed.Once a stampede begins, roll 1D6+2 to determine how long it

is. The stampede must always be contiguous, with no spaces be-

tween occupied hexes, and the ollowing hexes must always ollow

the head. A stampede will ollow a straight path until it meets an

obstacle it cannot run through. A stampede has a movement rate

o 4 MP per turn and has its own Initiative rolled to determine

when it moves. Stampedes cannot go up levels i the dierence

between hexes is greater than 1 but can go down any number

o levels, suering damage in the process i the number o levels

changed is greater than 1 (e.g., rom Level 3 to Level 1). Obstacles

such as woods hexes o any type, re, water hexes deeper than

Depth 0, buildings, rubble or level changes greater than 1 require

a successul PSR by the lead hex (assume the equivalent o a Pilot-

ing skill o 5 and apply appropriate modiers or movement andterrain); ailure means the lead hex is destroyed (alls o a cli,

dispersed by woods, drowns, etc). The ormer second hex then

becomes the new lead hex and turns the stampeding herd in a

random direction to avoid the obstacle. I the new lead hex has

no allowable hexes to turn to, the stampede comes to a halt until

a path opens up.

When a stampede would enter a hex containing any non-

inantry unit, it will instead change direction. Randomly determine

whether the stampede breaks to the let or the right. Once a turn

is completed, the stampede will continue in a straight line in the

new direction until another obstacle is reached. In addition, the

non-inantry unit that triggered the direction change must make

a Piloting skill roll to avoid alling or skidding. I the unit has notmoved in the current turn, it does not need to make a PSR. Bat-

tleMechs, ProtoMechs, IndustrialMechs and non-hover vehicles

cannot cross the path traveled by a stampede in the same turn

by walking or traveling at cruising speed. Units that run, jump

or travel at ank speed may do so with a successul PSR. Inantry

units (both conventional and battle armored) will be overrun by

an oncoming stampede, receiving 20 points o damage per hex o

the stampede. Inantry units cannot cross the path traveled by a

stampede in the same turn.

Stampedes may be targeted by weapons ire. Each hex o a

stampede can take up to 30 points o damage. Treat the herd like

an inantry platoon or purposes o applying damage. In addition,

an attack on any hex ater the leader o a stampede will split the

stampede in two, each hal turning in a randomly determineddirection to escape the noise and destruction o the attack. Child

stampedes that split o rom a larger parent do not apply to the

limit on the number o stampedes on the map. A stampede o just

one hex length ceases to be o any eect on the battleeld and

can be ignored.

Two stampedes that cross each other s paths will merge into a

larger stampede. Roll 1D6 or each o the merging stampedes; the

higher result becomes the leader o the combined herd. The win-

ning herd continues in its current direction and adds the length o

the losing herd to its own.

AFTERMATH

Though they had the element o surprise, the Fith Triarii were

simply outought by the hardened troops o the Second MAC.When it became clear they would not prevail and the Triarii com-

mander ordered a retreat, the Republic orces were pursued and

harried by McCarrons swit hovercrat or quite a distance beore

Reinorcements

Both the Attacker and Deender are eligible to receive reinorce-

ments during this engagement, latecomers who were part o the

Republic vanguard protecting the convoy and the Capellans who

ambushed them in the nearby orest.

Starting in the End Phase o Turn 6, the Deender may gain

up to 25% o his or her initial orce in reinorcements. Roll 1D6

to determine which map edge the De enders reinorcements

enter rom: on a result o 1-3, they enter rom the edge tothe let o the Deenders home edge; on a result o 4-6, they

enter rom the right. One o the reinorcement units should be

designated as Legate Viktor Rusko. This unit should be a Bat-

tleMech (historically Rusko piloted a Zeus X) and as long as the

Legate is active on the ield, the Deender receives a +2 to all

Initiative rolls.

Starting in the End Phase o Turn 8, the Attacker may gain up

to 25% o his or her initial orce in reinorcements. The Attackers

reinorcements enter rom the same map edge as the Deenders

reinorcements.

All reinorcements regardless o allegiance are subject to damage

rom their prior engagement. Allocate 3D6 points o damage to

each unit beore it enters the map, splitting into 5-point groups and

randomly rolling or location. Reroll any result that calls or a critical

hit. In addition, all ammunition stores must be reduced by 50%.

AFTERMATHThough they tried to run when it became clear they were in

danger, the convoy ran right into an ambush laid by Mai Uhn

Wa and his Ijori D Gung irregulars. The narrow causeway gave

the insurgents all the help they needed to make quick work o

the deenders. Legate Rusko and his BattleMechs escaped back

to Chang-an, but the majority o the other Republic troops sur-

rendered to the victorious Capellans and the supplies they were

escorting ended up in rebel hands.

mau-Ti on my mindSITuATIONMau-tiLiao, Republic o the Sphere14 July 3134

Determined to put a stop to the MACs rampage on Nnl,

Knight-Errant Eve Kincaid assumed command o the southern

continents deenses. When she realized that McCarron intended to

seize the supply depot at Mau-ti, Lady Kincaid gathered her orces

together and rushed to the depot to make a stand.

GAME SETuP

Recommended Terrain: Light Urban or Heavy Urban (see p. 263,

TW) or Nnl (see p. 3).

Place at least 2 mapsheets side by side with the long edges to-

gether and place 2 heavy buildings (CF 100) near one edge o the

map. These are the supply bunkers located at Mau-ti. The buildings

should each be at least three hexes big and no more than three

hexes apart rom each other. These buildings are 1 level tall. I Light

Urban or Heavy Urban maps are used, place 3D6 buildings at ran-

dom on the map. These buildings have a CF o 15 (or Light Urban)

or 30 (or Heavy Urban).

The map edge closest to the supply bunkers is the Deenders

home edge and the Deenders orces must set up within ourhexes o the buildings. The Attackers home edge is the opposite

edge o the map.

Attacker

Recommended Forces: Second McCarrons Armored Cavalry

The Attackers orces are 125% o the Deenders. The Attacker

enters rom the Attackers home edge on Turn 1.

Deender

Recommended Forces: Fith Principes Guards, Liao Planetary

Militia

At least 50% o the Deenders orces should be Liao Planetary

Militia. One BattleMech unit should be designated the Deenders

commander. This is Knight-Errant Eve Kincaid, who historically

piloted a custom Mad Cat III. As long as Knight Kincaid is active onthe eld, the Deender receives a +2 Initiative bonus. Eve Kincaid

possesses Piloting Skill o 2 and a Gunnery Skill o 0.

I sometimes wonder i we shouldnt just give up this planet

and let Daoshen have it. I believe in The Republic and Stones

dream with all my heart, but should we be orcing the people

o Liao to be a part o that dream? Doesnt that go against ev-

erything we supposedly stand or? But i we give up Liao, where

would it end?

I guess i it comes down to it, my rst priority is my troops. Im

not going to sacrice any o these brave men and women any

more than is absolutely necessary. Liao is just a place, ater all;

its the people that make The Republic strong. And these days

we need every single one o them pulling or us.

Spply Depot

Use Missed Shots rules (see p. 81, TO) in this battle. Once a hex o a

supply depot bunker takes at least hal its CF in damage, it will explode.

This explosion delivers 5D6 points o damage to its hex and decreasing

amounts o damage urther out, reduced by 1D6 per hex. In addition,the surrounding two rings o hexes catch re (see p. 43, TO).

The Attacker would preer to c apture the supply depot rather

than destroy it. To capture the depot bunkers, an Attacker unit

must remain motionless in an adjacent hex and not engage in

any combat or 3 consecutive turns. No enemy unit may occupy

a hex adjacent to the building during the 3 turns or the timer

resets.

AFTERMATH

From the beginning, things did not go well or the Republic

deenders. The low point o the battle came when an errant

missile strike rom a Republic tank lit up the very supply depot

they were supposed to be protecting. With the object o their

deense ablaze, Lady Kincaid decided to cut her losses and or-dered her orces to retreat. Terrence McCarron elected not to

pursue and tried in vain to save the burning depot. In the end,

he succeeded in taking the depot rom The Republic but gained

In a renzy o sudden assaults, the newly arrived Dynasty Guard struck at a number o Nnl industrial sites over the course o several

days. Lord Governor Hidic, still reeling rom the events o New Years Day, barely managed to hold onto the continent. Recovering rom

the ailed deense o Mau-ti in Metauque Township, a small village outside the industrial city o Yulan that was home to the largest civilian

automotive plant on Liao, Lady Eve Kincaid issued a challenge to the commander o the Capellan orces, hoping to draw the Guard to her

to deliver a decisive blow beore they could get too entrenched on the planet.

GAME SETuP

Recommended Terrain: Flatlands or Blank.

Select and arrange 4 maps in a 2x2 layout. The Deender should

place 5 2-3 hex Medium (CF 45) buildings o Level 1 height anywhere

on the map. The Attacker should place 10 1-2 hex Light (CF 15) build-

ings no taller than Level 3 anywhere on the map. At least one hex

must separate all buildings and all buildings must be at least two

hexes rom a map edge. The Attacker selects one edge o the map

as their home edge; the Deenders home edge is the opposite edge.Ignore terrain eatures on the map and consider all hexes paved.

Attacker

Recommended Forces: Dynasty Guard

The Attacker is 110% o the Deenders orces and is weighted

more towards BattleMechs than inantry or vehicles. The Attacker

enters the map on Turn 1 rom their home edge and enters up to 4

units per turn until all orces are on the map.

Designate one unit as Sang-shao Carson Rieves; historically he

piloted a custom Yu Huang.

Commanders

Both sides should designate one o their units as a commander.

For historical accuracy, this would be Knight-Errant Eve Kincaid

in her custom Mad Cat IIIor the Deender and Sang-shao Carson

Rieves in a custom Yu Huang or the Attacker. I either commander

unit is crippled or destroyed, that side will suer a -2 penalty to

their Initiative rolls each subsequent turn.

AFTERMATH

The ight at Metauque Township was airly evenly matched

and neither side could gain strong advantage over the other. The

Principes looked to nally stumble when Lady Kincaid suered a

bad cockpit hit, but the sudden and mysterious departure o the

Dynasty Guard in the middle o the battle shocked and surprised

everyone. Within two days, the Guard had relocated to Beils

Northern Range and the Republic deenders were let with noth-

ing but questions.

When Lady Kincaids MC3 took that hit to the cockpit, we all

eared the worst. For the rst ew seconds ater the hit, it was like

she was drunk or something the way she stumbled about. We

thought maybe her gyrod been hit. Turns out she got clipped by

some shrapnel that went banging around in there, tore up her

side a bit. But thats one tough woman; she snapped out o it

pretty quickly. With leaders like her, I think The Republics going

to be a-okay.

ReinorcementsGovernor Anna Lu Pohl has not yet made up her mind which

side to support and wants to keep her options open as long as pos-sible. On Turn 4 o the battle, troops loyal to the Governor begin toappear on the map, approaching rom the Attackers home edge.Randomly determine the Governors orces using the same RATsas the Liao Planetary Militia. Lu Pohl has no more than 50% o theAttackers orces at her disposal. Four units may enter the map perturn. These orces will immediately move away rom the map edgeno more than 4 hexes to give their comrades room to enter themap but will not move arther than that until all o their units havearrived nor will they participate in combat unless directly attacked.

Once all o the Governors orces have set up on the map, theywill wait or a sign as to which side they should join and will neithermove nor attack. I they are themselves attacked, they will join withthe opposing side. I they remain unmolested or 4 ull turns atercompleting their set up, they will choose the side that has taken

the least amount o total damage to all units.For purposes o Crisis o Conscience rules, the Governors troops

are o Regular experience and Questionable loyalty.

AFTERMATHThe ght against the rebellious students went well, despite the

presence o some McCarrons armor and the brittle emotions othe day. Governor Anna Lu Pohl even sent troops to reinorce TheRepublics assault. But when one Republic MechWarrior turned hisamers against a crippled Conservatory vehicle in a malicious acto spite, the Governors orces threw in with the rebels, as did anumber o the Legates own troops. With that one tragic reversal,

Rusko lost Chang-an and probably Liao itsel.

Lord, I know you and I, well, we havent seen eye-to-eye on a great many things

these last ew years. Truth be told, Im still kind o pissed o about that whole parents

dying thing. But dont worry, Lord, I dont blame you anymore. I blame him.
