Corporation Marines in the Deadzone

Notes: These rules are intended to represent the Corporation in a defensive role at the onset if invasion by the Rebs or Orx, a Plague outbreak or a last stand of defiance of the Council’s Enforcers. As such, most of their missions and rules are defensive in nature. I intend to add some more military Corporation rules in future.

Faction Special Rules:

‘AAAAARRRRGGGHH! NOOOOO!’:
The worst nightmare of any Coropration Trooper is being taken alive by enemy forces, where he will undoubtedly face a fate worse than a fate worse than death. All his comrades will do their utmost to grant their taken brother-in-arms a swift end.

This special rule has a different effect depending on if the opposing force is Plague or other:

Plague: If a Corporation model with this rule is killed by a Plague Stage 1 or 2 model (but not stage 3), replace it immediately in the nearest possible location with a Plague Zombie with the following stats- F6+ S6+ Sv5+ A0 C-/-

This model remains on the board for one full turn from its death, after which it is removed as the Plague takes full effect and kills him. The model is worth is worth one victory point to the Corporation player if killed during that turn, and 1 victory point to the Plague Player if it survives.

Rebs/Enforcers/Orx: When a Corporation model with this rule is killed by any means, lay the model on its side, or replace it with a suitable marker. It may then be carried by any model (from either side) other than a Zee (they lack the strength), and is worth one victory point to either player if they carry it off their board edge as per equipment.

‘Hold the Line’: The Corporation Captain can use this rule to take a ‘Get Mean’ action on behalf of a Pinned/Supressed Corporation model within 3 cubes. This can allow a model to ‘Get Mean’ twice in one turn, although this action may not be used to make him ‘Enraged’ (if the Sergeant activates first and uses this ability on a Pinned inactivated model, that model may subsequently become ‘Enraged’ in his own activation)


Missions:

Cut off the Head: The enemy commander has shown himself, and a bold sergeant realises he can end the war before it’s even begun… If all goes to plan.

Kill Leader: 3
Kill Specialist: 3
Kill Commander: 3

Hold the Line: The enemy are coming, the population fleeing. There can be not one step back!

Survive: 1
Control X: 3
Control Y: 3
Control Z: 3

Escape!: A unit has been caught and surrounded by enemy troops, and must make a desperate bid to run the gauntlet and re-join the main force.

Infiltrate trooper: 1
Infiltrate Specialist: 2
Infiltrate Commander: 3
Kill 0-10 point: 1
Kill 10+ point: 2



As Much Time As You Can Give Us: This unit has been tasked with holding a vital route to the fleeing population, and must buy them as much time as they can. Any damage done to the enemy will slow them down long enough for the refugees to escape.

Survive: 1
Kill Leader: 2
Kill Specialist/Rare: 2
Kill Trooper: 1


But What About My Stuff?: The unit has been given orders from on high to secure some vital research or equipment, something that will give them an edge or make a fleeing businessman very, very rich…

Scour: 2


Battle cards: use the Rebs deck, it works well enough.
