Notes on the mission:

* On the map below, there is now a Reinforcement tracker which tells you how many I have left to bring on. I can bring on a maximum 6 per turn.

* You must kill all standard enemy blips AND all reinforcements to be able to claim the Primary Objective.

* The squad with the highest total value of enemies killed will receive the Primary Objective Token at the end of the mission (30 pts). And then we'll work out the winner the usual way.

* Consider your Order Cards/Commander weapons on this occasion. This mission is a race. Imperial Fists should at least consider the Heavy Bolter + Combi-Weapon + Bionic Eye here.

So Commanders, your docking claws await you. I will need from each of you:

1. Your choice of heavy weapons + Commander's weapon.
2. Your choice of Order & Equipment cards. (See below)
3. The starting order of your Marines in the docking claws.
4. A D20 dice roll to determine which order you will take turns.

Mantis - you get to choose 3 Order Cards and 4 Equipment Cards.
Sly Boots - you get to choose 3 Order Cards and 4 Equipment Cards.
Animalmother - you get to choose 1 Order Card and 7 Equipment Cards.

No rush, so whenever each of you has the spare time.

What are the mechanics behind the reinforcements? Can they spawn anywhere on the map, or are there set (but currently unknown to us) spawn points? Do they come at regular intervals, or do you have to draw a particular card on the enemy turn?

As for deployment, will go with the same setup as the first mission, I think, but with the addition of the Move it order.

Orders - Fire!, Move it, Photon grenades

Gorman keeps his beloved power gauntlets and sword
Apone keeps his bolter
Hudson keeps his missile launcher
New Vasquez takes her namesake's gore-splattered plasma rifle
New Drake takes up the assault cannon

Equipment - Bionic arm, forcefield, blind grenades, melta bomb

Starting positions:

Gorman, Vasquez
Hudson, Drake
Apone

Initiative roll: 14

Thanks Gorman! Orders received. You're going to have more tactical options this mission but fewer toys to play with.

As for the reinforcements.. If you cast your eye over the top right sector of the map, you'll see 3 additional doorways along the edge. At the very end of my turn, I get to place new reinforcements on the map squares in front of those doorways (but I can't actually use them till my following turn). I may decide not to place any at all, or I can choose to put down the full 6.

Also, they won't be blips but they'll be revealed enemies as soon as I place them. So you'll always know what they are once they enter the map.

Wise choice on By Sections, Commander Valius. It can effectively be used as an extra Move It order, which could be useful with your starting position.

So can I pick multiple targeters or melta bombs for my kit since I now have 7 slots?

Your cards are in the drop down thingy on the first post - stand to be corrected but while you have two targeters available it's just the one bomb.

Aye. Of the 8 cards available you can only pick each one once. But it just happens there are 2 Targeter cards amongst them - so you can take both of them and have 2 weapons with a Targeter. Which I highly recommend!

Nice to see you going for the Heavy Bolter. Be interesting to see how that plays out. You're going to have loads of firepower. :D

Animalmother & Mantis, I just need a D20 dice roll from the two of you to determine the starting order.
