The Scouring of the Suburbs

The sprawl of settlements surrounding the hive city harbors many pockets of survivors despite heavy Ork infestation. The number of desperate distress calls from this region has increased tenfold. The remnants of local militias are creating openings in the Ork lines such that a force could punch through and secure a firebase in one of the outlying urban areas. The humans there might know something about Ork activity in the area.

Begins: 2/20/2008

Expires: 6/1/2008

Limits: This mission can be attempted by any number of players until the Orks capture a grand total of 13 buildings. After each attempt the Campaign Master will note how many buildings were flagged by the Orks for the primary objective. When/if this number reaches 13 the special mission ends as the Orks have eliminated all hope of securing a foothold.

Objectives

Primary: Firesweep

Secondary: Refugees*

Tertiary: High Ground**

*After setup but before turn 1 place an objective marker in the ruin closest to the center of the table. Roll a d6 for each remaining ruin. On a roll of 5+ place an objective marker in the ruin. These markers represent pockets of refugees, or possibly puppies and kittens, hiding in the ruins. Regardless of your army's alignment the refugees are worth more to you alive (even if only so you can slaughter them later.) If the Orks flag a building (for the primary objective) with refugees it is assumed they kill them all. Remove the objective marker. At the end of the game any ruin with a player flag and a refugee marker counts as a rescue. To decide the objective score the number of rescues versus the number killed by the Orks. If the player manages to rescue ALL of the refugees they may be entitled to campaign assets and so forth.

**You have to have a scoring unit in the building ruin to own it for the tertiary objective. Planting a flag in it is NOT enough.
