Throwing Out the Bait: A Scenario for B5 Wars
For 2 to 3 players

BACKGROUND:

It is the middle of the Narn/Centuari War and the Centauri are finally
starting to get organized and push back at the Narn advance.  
Retaliation
into Narn space has been planned with the destruction of a Narn 
Civilian
Base and the Capture of the Narn Colony.  The forces were chosen 
and plans
set.  Something however was wrong when the task force got there.  
A Narn
Heavy Cruiser was docked with the station for refueling and supplies.  Its
presence was not included in any plans and as such must be gotten rid of
before the attack can begin.  
 As such some bait was put out in an attempt to bring the Heavy
Cruiser out and away from the main fighting.  A Dargan Strike Cruiser
would pretend to be a Narn Freighter under attack by heavy Raider forces.
The Narn should send the Cruiser to take care of the Heavy Raider forces.
Unfortunately they didn't.  

PLAYER#1 (Narn): 1 Var'Nic Long Range Destroyer w/ 6 Frazi Heavy Fighters 

PLAYER #2 (Narn): 1 G'Karith Patrol Cruiser w/ 6 Gorath Medium Fighters

PLAYER #3 (Centauri): 1 Dargan Strike Cruiser w/ 12 Rutarian Strike
Fighters and 12 Modified Raider Light Fighters

MODIFIED RADER LIGHT FIGHTER: Add 2 thrust for a total of 11 and replace
the Bolters with Twin Particle Beams (same damage better range penalty).

SET UP:

Map:	ABC
 DEF
Note: Map will float

Narn Forces Begin at:
 Var'Nic		3603 f5 speed 6
 G'Karith	3705 f5 speed 6
 Frazis		3304 f5 speed 9
 Goraths		3507 f5 speed 9
 (Var'Nic under Jump Delay.  8 turns have expired.)

Centauri Forces Begin at:
 Dargan 		1320 f2 speed -4
 Raiders #1	1322 f1 speed 9
 Raiders #2	1318 f1 speed 9
 (Rutarians are in the Hanger but may launch at any time)

VICTORY CONDITIONS:

Narn: Destroy the Centauri warship once it's detected.  Can force a draw
by escaping with at least one ship after turn 8.

Centauri: While this is not the prey you were hoping for, keeping them
away from the real battle is just as important as keeping the Heavy
Cruiser.  Cripple them from returning to the base to fight.  You can do
this by destroying the ships or simply taking out key targets like the
jump drive, thrusters or C&C.  Leave them wrecked and head back to the
main battle.

SPECIAL RULES:

Fighter Flight Rules are in use

Dargan Bonus: Until the Dargan is detected through blatant weapons fire or
launching fighters or the Narn getting close enough for a good look the
Dargan has the benefits of:
 A: Placing its EW after the Narn have announced theirs
 B: Not announcing its EW until it makes its first attack on the
Narn or give ENLINT bonuses.
Once the Dargan is detected or it attacks it announced EW during the
regular phase
Note: The Dargan Player must be very careful not to over exceed the limits
of a normal Civilian Freighter or else it is giving itself away.

Narn may not fire on the Dargan until it has given itself away.  

At the end of turn 8 the Narn receive an urgent message to return to base
as there is an attack force advancing on the base.  If they can get away
they can be a part of that battle (see scenario: AN UNEXPECTED RETALIATION
below.)  If the Narn escape or the Dargan disables them it can jump out
and head towards that battle as well. 

OPTIONS:

Play it with the Narn sending the G'Quan and 12 Frazi Heavy fighters and
see how that goes.  I believe the Narn will be underpointed in such a
scenario but tactics might prevail.   Might want to reduce the Modified
Raider Fighters to regular Raider Fighters.

An Unexpected Retaliation: A Scenario for B5 Wars
For 2 to 6 players

BACKGROUND:

 Its time for the Centauri to start pushing back at the Narn
offensive and as always the best defense is a good offense (or so the
Centauri believe.)  As a warm up exercise an attack on a Narn Colony was
planned.  A chance to stretch out the muscles and send a message to the
Narn.  Plans were made the task force assembled and sent on its way.  Then
an unexpected variable showed up.  A Narn Heavy Cruiser was docked at the
colonies star base.  A quick plan was made to lure the Heavy Cruiser away
but failed remove 2 smaller ships instead.  Not quite what the Centauri
were looking for but good enough to sway things in there direction. 

PLAYER #1 (Centauri): 2 Centurion Attack Cruisers, 1 Kutai Gunship and 1
Balvarin Carrier w/ 36 Sentri Medium Fighters (POSSIBLE REINFORCEMENTS: 1
Dargan Strike Cruiser w/ 12 Rutarian Strike Fighter and 12 Modified Raider

Destroyer w/ 6 Frazi Heavy Fighters and 1 G'Karith Patrol Cruiser w/ 6
Gorath Medium Fighters

SET UP

Map:	ABC

Narn Force Begin at:
 G'Quan		3523 f5 speed 6
 G'Karith 	3424 f5 speed 6
 Var'Nic		3621 f5 speed 6

 Gorath #1	2721 f5 speed 12
 Gorath #2	2819 f5 speed 12
 Gorath #3	2918 f5 speed 12

Centauri Forces Begin at
 Centurion #1	1005 f3 speed 6
 Centurion #2	0608 f3 speed 6
 Kutai 		0908 f3 speed 6
 Balvarin	0504 f3 speed 3

 Sentri #4	1010 f3 speed 12
 Sentri #5	1113 f3 speed 12
 Sentri #6	0711 f3 speed 12

VICTORY CONDITIONS:

Centauri:  Destroy the Narn Civilian Base.  This can be accomplished by
destroying 2 sections or destroying the C&C.  Leave the area clear for
troop carrier to come in with the next wave.

Narn: Keep the base alive.  If the base is destroyed (see Centauri victory
conditions) you're only way to draw is to destroy the Centuari attack
force completely.   

SPECIAL RULES:

Fighter Flight Rules are in use.

Narn reinforcements may arrive after turn 5 based on the out come of the
Scenario THROWING OT THE BAIT.  If there are Narn Reinforcements roll a d6
at the end of turn 5 and each turn there after until the reinforcements
arrive.  On a roll of 5 or 6 the ships arrive and open a jump point
somewhere in section C of the map.  Centauri reinforcements (if any) show
up 2 turns after the Narn arrive (Narn know their own hyperspace better
than the Centauri.)  Fighters may be deployed.  All damage taken in the
previous scenario is still effective.  If the Narn were prevented from
returning to the base the Centauri reinforcements can start to roll at the
end of turn 7 with a 5 or a 6 meaning that they arrive.  They also arrive
in section A. 

OPTIONS: 

As always play around with fleet configurations.  

Note: When bases are changed to reflect armor point values may change.
