Subject: Fwd: [B5W] A Little Scenario To Try
Status: RO

Place:
A massive asteroid field.

Current Story:
Strange radio transmissions have been detected coming from the middle
of this asteroid field.  All indications point to vorlon technology.

Background Story:
50 Earth years ago, a vorlon scout ship was scouting this region of
space, entered the asteroid field, got over-loaded by the strange
radiation from the asteroids and lost control, crashing into an
asteroid where it lies still.

Goal:
To retrieve the remains of the ship.  Each race sends an expiditiary
fleet of ships to check it out, and just all happen to arrive at the
same time.

Details:
o  Start with the ships on different sides of the asteroid field.
o  The strange radiation prevents any ship for using is sensors to
lock onto any other ship.  Double Range penalties apply.  You can
still use EW to add to the shot, but the penalty still applies.
o  You cannot fire through a hex containing an asteroid.  Assume they
are big and massive for weapons fire to effect)
o  The races are only sending small expidititary groups to check it
out, so keep the total point value to 1500-1700 points, or whatever
seems appropriate.  Once inside the asteroid field, things could get
crowded if too many ships are present.
o  If within the 1 hex radius of any single asteroid, sensors will NOT
work at all.  So make sure to place the asteroid assymetrically around
to vary the field.
o  If within the 1 hex radius of two asteroid (two asteroid's field's
overlap), roll for criticals on all non-primary systems (weapons,
intercepters, etc).  Roll a d10, add armor value of that system, if
result is 8 or less, it is inoperative until brought out of that
radius.

I want to test this scenario with my group, maybe if someone else is
willing to try it and let me know how it goes.

Optional Addition:
The ship locations could be kept secret (a referee would be needed)
and the ships only detect each other upon direct view within 10 hexes.
 The Sensors line-of-sight doesn't go through an asteroid.
