INTRODUCTION


I WROTE this scenario for a friend who is into modern wargaming, and
deliberately did not assign it to a specific 20th or 21st century real world
location. In my own mind I think of it as taking place in some IMAGI-
NATION like ZEKISTAN from the PS2 video games. I wrote this one a
while back but updated it for use with CR3.0 rules (modified) it would be
easy enough to change the scenario for use with FNG or ATZ or even 5150.
As time and energy permit, I will update and publish some more of these
"ZEKISTAN" scenarios for use by anyone who is interested in using them.
if you do use them, feel free to modifiy them to your own tastes, but, please
remember where you got the scenario from (OLE DAWGIE).

DATE: Today or Tomorrow!


TIME: High noon, local time


LOCATION: A Third - Seventh World hell hole of a country in the
midst a severe drought, famine, and civil war.

2. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:

A. THE UN humanitarian mission mandate allows its peacekeepers to
use JUSTIFIABLE FORCE in self defense of themselves, other UN
personnel, UN property and to maintain the peace in UN FORCES
controlled or designated areas. To keep it simple, JUSTIFIABLE
FORCE is the amount of force required to achieve an OUT OF THE
FIGHT result against an opponent.


B. THE UN humanitarian mission mandate also allows its peacekeepers
to use DEADLY FORCE in self defense of themselves, other UN
personnel, UN property, indigene lives and property in UN
controlled or designated areas. To keep it simple, DEADLY FORCE
is the amount of force required to achieve an OBVIOUSLY DEAD
result against an opponent.

3. UN RELIEF AGENCY:

A. THE UN RELIEF AGENCY personnel assigned to this mission
consist of six (6) CIVILIAN (GRUNT) REP-3s, one (1) hired indigene
CIVILIAN (GRUNT) REP-2, and six (6) hired indigene truck drivers.
None of these civvies have attributes, are armed or wearing body

B. THE UN RELIEF AGENCY has hired five (5) ragged looking local
trucks, and painted them UN white with UN marking to transport
the food and provided one (1) white painted HUMMER with UN
markings for the UN staffers to travel in.


4. UN MEDICAL/DENTAL TEAM:

A. At the last moment, it was decided to add eight (8) CIVILIAN
(GRUNT) REP-3 medical/dental personnel, along with one (1)
CIVILIAN (GRUNT) REP-2 hired indigene interpreter to the
operation to carry out a simultaneous medical/dental assistance
mission during the food distribution. None of these civvies have
attributes, wear body armor or are armed.


B. THE medical/dental team has two (2) white painted HUMMVs
marked with RED CROSSES to transport personnel and medical
gear/supplies. These vehicles are driven by members of the
medical/dental team

well known international news organization to accompany the
mission to publicize the UN's good work in this misbegotten hell
hole.


B. THIS team consists of four (4) CIVILIAN (GRUNT*) REP-3 network
employees, one (1) contracted CIVILIAN (GRUNT) REP-4 minder,

van owned by the hired driver.

* NOTE: IF you desire the talking head of the news team can be a
CIVILIAN (STAR) REP-3 instead of a GRUNT.


5. THE DESPERATE LOCALS:

A. THESE are the plain JOES/JOLENES of this hell hole, folks who in
normal times would want to do nothing more than raise their
families, practice their religion, make a little extra money, and enjoy
life s much as they could. Well the drought, famine, and civil war put
an end to al of that! Now they are just trying to survive on a day to
day basis as best as they can! These folks will travel many, often
hard miles to reach a designated food distribution site.


B. BE aware that any food distribution mission is not without risks,
particularly in the interior of the country like this one. Any food
distribution site is a potential breeding ground for the angry,
frightened and desperate people lining up for their UN handout to
turn on their benefactors, steal as much food as they can carry off,
and return to their homes. When these food riots occur, they tend to
attract large numbers of desperate people to the scene, to be very
violent, and brief in nature.


6. THE ENEMY FORCES:

A. FOR the purposes of this scenario i have decided that there will be six
(6) POTENTIAL ENEMY FORCES (PEF) available, but, only two (2)
of them will actually represent tabletop enemy forces.


B. FOR the purposes of this scenario I have also pre-generated the two
(2) rather generic tabletop enemy forces to represent the local
!"#$% '()*+,+-*. /))* 0+123+452+)6 7+11+)6
!" $%&'()
/
brigands/guerillas from the INSURGENT LIST. See

D. THIS band has fallen onto hard times since the arrival of the UN
humanitarian mission with its AMERICAN and EUROPEAN military
contingents; it is low on ammo, food, and gas. Laying their hands on
any or all of these items, and escaping off table with same is their
only goal!


8. THE TABLETOP:

A. REGARDLESS of the actual size of the table that you use for this
scenario, divide it into nine (9) equal sized sections, numbered
(beginning at the top and working down) SECTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, and 9. NORTH is the top of SECTORS 1, 2, and 3; SOUTH is the
bottom SECTORS 7, 8, and 9; WEST is the table edge of SECTORS 1,
4, and 7; EAST is the table edge of SECTORS 3, 6, and 9.


B. PLACE the village in the center of the table, centered on SECTOR 5
and spreading out to include part of at least SECTORS 4, 2, 6, and 8.
The village consists of huts and crumbling ruins, and appears to have
been abandoned sometime prior to the arrival of the food convoy.


C. WHAT passes for a national highway in this place is a two (2) lane
dirt roadway running from SOUTH of SECTOR 8's table edge to the
NORTH of SECTOR 2's table edge, and passing through the center of
the village. There is a small open air market flanking the highway
where it passes through the center of the village at SECTOR 5.


D. RUNNING diagonally from the table edge and center of SECTOR 4 to
the table edge corner of SECTOR 9 is a high banked, partially dried
up, shallow stream. This stream is 2" wide and fordable by infantry
anywhere along its length. It is fordable by wheeled vehicles only at
the ford located where the national highway crosses it. The land for
2" on either side of the stream consists of partially dried, cracked
mud flats.


E. OVERLOOKING the village from the NE in the SECTOR 3 is a low
hill with some crumbling ruins on top of it. Overlooking the village
from the WEST at the table edge of SECTORS 4 and 7 is a rock
strewn low ridge. The stream mentioned in D above runs through a
!"#$% '()*+,+-*. /))* 0+123+452+)6 7+11+)6
!" $%&'()
1
gap in this ridge.


F. TABLETOP terrain is red, rolling, arid, dusty, with scattered clumps
of low brown vegetation, wither looking single trees, and grouping of
withered looking trees that can provide concealment but not cover,
rock outcroppings, and shallow depressions that can provided both
concealment and cover.


G. THERE are 3D6 sleeping crocodiles sunbathing on the cracked dried
mud flats paralleling the stream - disturb them at your own risk!


9. UN AND LOCALS DEPLOYMENT:

A. THE UN food trucks are parked in the center of the open air market,
on the EAST side of the highway, with their tailgates facing the
highway. Each food truck is "manned " by a UN staffer and a
indigene truck driver who will distribute the food to the waiting
people. The head of the UN convoy, MS FUENTES, has all of the
distributor caps and rotors from the trucks in a black plastic bag on
her person at all times. This is to prevent either the locals from
hijacking a truck loaded with food or the driver's from making off
with it (you are not sure which is the right answer). The UN
HUMMV is parked alongside the trucks. MS FUENTES and her
interpreter are wandering around the distribution site.


B. THE UN medical/dental team has set up shop on the opposite side of
the highway, also in the center of the open air market, but with the
front of their trucks facing the roadway.


C. THERE are 6D6+6 indigene CIVILIAN (GRUNT) REP-2s of various
ages milling about the distribution point when the food convoy
arrives at its destination. None of these have attributes, body armor
or visible weapons. Once the UN trucks are in place, they will line up
at the tailgate, waiting for the UN staffers and drivers to distribute
their food rations.


D. THERE are 3D6 indigene CIVILIAN (GRUNT) REP-2s of various
!"#$% '()*+,+-*. /))* 0+123+452+)6 7+11+)6
!" $%&'()
2
ages and sexes being treated and awaiting treatment at the
medical/dental group. None of these have attributes, body armor, or
weaponry.


E. YOU may deploy your re enforced squad of soldiers however you
think best to maintain order and security during this operation, and
must do so before any of the enemy PEFs are placed on the table top.


10. BRIGAND/GUERILLA BAND PEF DEPLOYMENT:

A. SINCE I designed this scenario as a solo game, all POSSIBLE
ENEMY FORCES (PEFs) are placed randomly on the tabletop by
rolling 1D6. The number rolled indicates the SECTOR of the
tabletop that could contain a PEF. If there is any type of terrain
feature that could block LOS to any PEF from UN soldier LOS, be
sure to place the PEF to do so.


B. EACH POSSIBLE ENEMY FORCE (PEF) is numbered 1 (REP-4), 2
(REP-5), 3 (REP-2), 4 (REP-4), 5 (REP-3), and 6 (REP-4). to help
me keep track of them. The indicated REPs are used for
ACTIVATION while it is still a PEF.


C. TO add an element of uncertainty to a solo game, the determination
as to if any PEF is real or false is immediately determined by rolling
1D6 (1,2,3 = FALSE ALARM; 4,5,6 = THE ENEMY) at the time the
MPs/SNIPERs/UN staffers have unrestricted LOS to any PEF.


D. WHEN any PEF is determined to be a FALSE ALARM it is
immediately removed from the table top.


E. WHEN any PEF is determined to be THE ENEMY, immediately roll
1D6. Score 1-3 and BRIGAND/GUERILLA BAND #1 is placed on the
tabletop; score 5-6 and BRIGAND/GUERILLA BAND #2 is placed
on the tabletop.



!"#$% '()*+,+-*. /))* 0+123+452+)6 7+11+)6
!" $%&'()
*3
11. ACTIVATION:

AFTER the UN food convoy, escort guards, the locals, and all PEFs are
placed on table select three (3) sets of 2D6 of different colors. One (1) set is
for the UN, one (1) set is for the PEFs, and one (1) set is for THE LOCALS.
Roll all of these dice at the same time to start each turn as per the CR3.0
rules.



ENJOY!
