Scenario 1 - Dropship Down
Duchess Katana Tormark, leader of the Dragon's Fury faction, has made plans to take the world of Addicks. Newly discovered natural reserves of crude oil are at stake. If Katana can secure the planet, it will guarantee her a supply of fuel for her vehicles and IndustrialMechs. Victory is critical, as capturing Addicks is the key opening move in Katana’s long-term plans.
Scenario 2 - Reach for the Sky
Hoping to shut down the spaceport at Neo Carthagia, Tai-i Danni Haag deploys her forces to take control of the city and thus gain de facto control over the entire continent of Sparro.
Scenario 3 - Poseidon's Fury
Unable to land their DropShip on the northern continent, where the primary target of the oil fields is located, the Dragon's Fury forces from the southern continent of Sparro ground on the equatorial continent of Auskel. Knowing that her troops must join up with those already on Landersia if the Fury is to claim victory, Danni Haag attempts to cross the small strait separating the twin continents. The force is spotted by a flyover, and a small Highlander detachment is sent to force them back into the sea.
Scenario 4 - Black Gold
Having finally combined their forces, the Dragon's Fury make a final assault on the fortified positions of the Highlanders surrounding the oil fields. There are attempting to reach the Highlanders’ line, which will allow them to split the defenders and force their withdrawal from the field. The Highlanders must hold the line if the oil fields—and, ultimately, the entire world of Addicks—are to remain in the hands of those who support the Republic of the Sphere.
