SPECIAL RULES

The Grid

Due to the distance from the regional capital, the HCPS force does not have access to The Grid.

Sentry Bots (at D)

The two sentry bots are basically small immobile pill-boxes. Treat them as bots for firing/reaction etc. (6D: AP. 3D: AT (L)) and as light vehicles (4D8 Defence Dice) for taking damage. Also has Active Point Defence.

Sakhan HQ

The SLA HQ building hosts a wealth of operational data which would be invaluable to the HCPS campaign to suppress the rebellion.

There are nine tranches of usable data, and any of the Sakhan technicians who enter the building can sanitise a portion of the data by succeeding a TQ test. The technician will suffer a -1 to the die roll if the HQ is damaged in an attack during the turn.

The HQ building itself counts as a fortified position (+4 Defense Dice) (6D10 Building Strength Dice)
