The credit for the scenario this time goes to Brad....no, wait,..... the things you like were my contributions and the things you don't like were Brad's...
First, yet another round of fluff (with apologies to those whose characters I have included):
Warboss Grubbynuts throws back his head and roars with laughter. That old joke gets him every time. How do an Ork, a beakie, and a panzee eat a Monody Brontosaurian Waterbeast? While the beakie and panzee are going at it one bite at a time, the Ork krumps each of ‘em on the ‘ead and tears off huge chunks, sating himself while the others lay in pools of their own blood!! He slaps the table repeatedly – it may be an oldie but it is just too dagnabbit funny, funnier then crammin’ a screamin’ grot into a Shokk Attack Gun.
The Warboss knows he has just managed to krump both his Chaos “allies” and the Imperium in the ‘ead. Now he just has to tear off those huge chunks before their ‘eads clear. Plans within plans within plans. He hasn’t survived to be Warboss by thinking like a stupid grot.
Even as his lieutenants continue his Monody Waagh without him and his body double (who fooled even his protégé Warboss Chobo) commands his forces in the attempt to capture the T’Schere leaders, Warboss Grubbynuts leads a war fleet to the planetoid Amondeen.
Amondeen is a tiny planetoid of seemingly little importance. (T’Schere scholars have debated for decades whether it is a planet or an asteroid.) The only residents there are the garrison of the ancient Castle Anthrax which houses the (grail-shaped) Beacon of Amondeen. The beacon is a link in the T’Schere defensive control system. Indeed, it is the “choke point” link to the eastern third of the planetary system. Should this beacon fail, the eastern planets would be off the grid.
Warboss Grubbynuts plans to seize the castle, destroy the beacon, replace it with a blocking beacon created by his Meks, and proceed to feast on the unprotected planets of the eastern end of the T’Schere system.
SCENARIO OPTION ONE – Imperial Defense
Warboss Grubbynuts spits as he disembarks from his ramshackle shuttle and wipes the spittle from his chin. No plan ever survives first contact. He had expected only a small PDF garrison on Amondeen which his forces would annihilate in a matter of minutes. Instead, the place is swarming with ‘umies and beakies and maybe some panzees too. Apparently Castle Anthrax is to become another one of those annoying Imperial bases in the T’Schere system. Who knew?? Well, his Intelligence Officers should have and he makes a mental note to add their “corrective action plan” to his To Do list.
You don’t get to be Warboss by thinkin’ like a stupid grot and anyway Grubbynuts always believed in bringing a Baneblade to a knife fight. His force should still be up to the task. His Meks have already gotten a temporary blocking beacon operational just so that T’schere Warlord can’t be interfering. Well, at least until some ignorant grunt stuffs a grot backasswards into the infernal machine and blows it up.
So, the Warboss muses (if, indeed Orks can be said to muse!), we ‘af ta do dis da ‘ard way. No problem. He brought more then enough firepower to blast his way into the Castle and blow up the beacon. And, as payback for all this aggravation, he’ll personally take the ‘ead of the beakie commander for his trophy case and blast apart every stinkin’ stone of that castle.
SCENARIO TWO – Imperial Offense
Ashurbanipal, commander of the Hands of Vengeance and Dewalla, Sector Chief of the H’garian Command watched as the T’Schere Warlord was hardwired into the defensive control network. Immediately the grid on the display board lit up like a Festivus Pole. They could already track the deadly responses being focused on the enemy invasion force on the Festivus Moon.
Dewalla was the first to notice the darkened sections of the grid. “Hey, ‘ipal, what’s up with this sector? Rather dark over here.”
Ashurbanipal now knew for certain that there would be a reckoning with this upstart Guards officer once the campaign was over – ‘ipal!! No one had dared call him that since Marine boot camp decades ago. No, this Dewalla took way too many liberties. But Ashurbanipal also knew at once what was wrong. “Everything east of Amondeen is dark. The beacon station there is off grid. It is the focal point for everything east of it.”
The T’Schere Warlord barked his commands a moment later. “Amondeen is off grid. Something is blocking its transmission. Enemy forces have been detected on the ground. You Imperials must immediately concentrate your forces there and reestablish the link. Go at once and complete this task! I command you!”
Ashurbanipal followed Dewalla out of the chambers, thinking that there may need to be more then one reckoning when all this was over. But, first, the enemy would pay for this aggravation. He would not only destroy the blocking beacon but would also personally take the head of the enemy commander for his trophy case and take apart the entire castle stone by stone.
Warboss Grubbynuts had indeed brought a Baneblade to a knife fight. The small, unprepared, and ill-equipped PDF unit station there was annihilated in a matter of seconds. His Meks quickly disabled the Beacon of Amondeen (grail-shaped) and replaced it with their blocking beacon. His units were even now digging in and reinforcing the defenses of Castle Anthrax in anticipation of the certain arrival of an Imperial attack force.
