Will do. It's the same dimensions as the new Boomtown Planet, so same ad specs. Also, I have the Sweet Chariot file. At first glimpse it looks awesome, a veritable 313 page tour de force.

And glad you liked Chariot! It kind of got lost in the shuffle.

Here's the section on Contracts from Wild Blue. Whaddya think?

-clash

That's cool clash. Is there room in the tasks section for a few more specific things or is that covered elsewhere?

I was thinking along the lines of;

Extraction/Insertion/Rendition
Demolition/Sabotage
Surveillance/Intelligence
Training an indigenous armed force
Military Engineering

These are smaller contracts, but ones that i expect most merc companies get quite a few of.

Clash, as soon as I have your files, I'm ready to go.

Hi Dan!

The first two are, I think, more missions than tasks, things that are part of the larger whole.

Surveillance/Intelligence is a task, but not one the more combat oriented Companies we cover would be interested in or qualified for.

Training and Military Engineering are excellent, very appropriate tasks though. I will add them to the lists!

Thanks!

Received. Thanks.

My group set up their mercenary company on Saturday.

First they named their Company - the Red River Rangers.

Then they created their Staff Characters, the people who control the company. There were:

A Russian Admiral - Ludmilla Korochevsky - Methodical 2, Arrogant 1, Loyal 2, and Feminist 1, with areas of expertise in Logistics and Command, in charge of Base Operations and Logistics.

A Japanese General - Torimoto Nakamura - Off Kilter 2, Iconoclastic 2, Audacious 2, Carefree 1, with areas of expertice in Spec Ops and Airlift, in charge of Special Forces and Light/Mechanized Infantry.

An American Air General - Chris Fury - Jumpy 2, Likeable 2, Lazy 3, with areas of expertise in Fighter Combat and Sealift, in charge of Fighter and Strike Aircraft.

A Lithuanian General - Julius Simas - Stubborn 2, Paranoid 3, Caring 2, with areas of expertise in Helicopters and Airlift, In charge of Helicopters and Security.

Then they rolled their funding. Their funding was Moderate, so they hashed out a budget, and decided to  purchase an old fighter strip and army base in Nepal, and a small Argentinian carrier. Logistics and Maintenance split a quarter of the budget.

The Fighter/Strike arm got two flights of older aircraft - F-4 Phantom IIs and F-8 Crusaders - for dual strike/fighting - both able to use the carrier.

They also bought a flight of OV-10 Broncos for Counter-Insurgency work, and liasing with their Spec Ops forces.

They then purchased ordinance for their aircraft.

The Helicopter arm was two flights, one of Russian Mil-8s, the other of Hueys, They decided against buying any gunships as of yet.

The Ground Pounders elected to get a company of SpecFor troops, a company of Mechanized Infantry, and a company of Security troops.

They then considered their first full contract - their original contract was Counter Insurgency in New Britain, which was winding up, There were two offers:

A Corrupt Authoritarian Regime asked for aid in their war against a Third World Junta in Micronesia. They offered a Poor Profit.

The second contract offered was from Ethnic Separatists who asked their aid in a Civil War against a Dictatorial Regime in the Indian Ocean. They offered a Poor profit and Local Servants.

The group debated, and chose to negotiate the second contract. They asked for Bounties and Death Benefits - Mercs get no insurance. The negotiations were hard, and they finally settled on Bounties and Sweet R&R on the beaches.

Then we finished up the New Britain Contract.

Back to New Britain!

SpecFor B Platoon had lost about half its men when a stinger shot down their Mil-8, and A Platoon had lost almost all their men. the remnants formed together and pushed towards the coast, sleeping in the light and moving at night. From their prisoners, they got some good HumInt on the leader of the rebels. He was supposed to be holed up in an abandoned resort on a lake well inland. They turned their course towards it, as their intended path would have missed it.

As they neared the lake, they discovered an ambush set up on a narrow place in the trail, meanwhile, a platoon sized group was coming up the trail behind them, obviously trying to drive them into the trap. Simultaneously, they sent their four best shots up the trees with IR imagers to snipe the ambushers while the tail of the unit set their own vee ambush on the trail behind. The snipers took out all but one of the original ambushers, while the tail group shot the hell out of the trailing platoon. There was one survivor, who confirmed their intelligence.

They called up on their computer a plan of the resort, noted it was a large one, with an airstrip for light planes to the north. They made plans to take out the resort, one squad taking the main building while the other hit the power generators and the airfield. The first squad captured eight German and American businessmen on the deck outside the main building. From them they learned that the leader was in his private bungalow up the beach. They headed off, taking out three sentries along the way.

The second squad skirted the second large building which was full of guards, and a long low garage with several jeeps armed with 50 calibre HMGs, which they took out by removing the distributor caps. They found the generator shed, and set up to take them down on signal. The rest of the squad headed out to the airfield. The lights went off.

The second squad took out the sentries on the planes, two to each of three  business prop planes, by sneaking up and cutting their throats. One jeep was roaring around the field, fireing into the jungle. They sniped driver and gunner, an the jeep crashed. They send a man into two of the planes to take them out of action. One was disabled and another was almost disabled when the civilian pilot woke up in the back and tried to take the plane back. The guy taking out the plane was able to disarm her and tie her up. Three more jeeps came up to the airfield with spotlights swinging. The squad took out two of the jeeps with grenades, but the third shredded one of the SpecOps guys, and wounded two others. This one they finally silenced with gunfire. The third plane started to take off, but was stopped by the captured jeep and .50 cal tracer fire across its nose.

Meanwhile, the first squad hit the bungalo front and back simultaneously. In the front were five guards watching TV when the lights went out. They tossed in a flash-bang grenade, and three of the five were blinded. When the men burst in one was taken out by a guard, and a second was hit five times, but due to amazing Dash rolls ended up with one wound and four bullet holes through his clothes. The group took out both gunmen and secured the blind ones. The men in the back had a better time of it, blinding all four men with a flash-bang, and took it with no trouble. The squad captured the leader in bed with his girlfriends.

They called in support, and it was all over - Contract fulfilled, mopping up takes the rest of the year.

Players had a blast, lots of fun had by all.
