Metz) that also included the game stats of the duelists.

Scenario: Fall of the Hammer[edit]

(11 March 2005) - "Roger that, Rat One. You are to hold the bridgehead until we can relieve you.

(BattleSpace scenario, 2x1 space mapsheets)

Scenario: Conquer the Kremlin![edit]

(15 July 2006) - Tikonov's Grand Kremlin, a Star League-era fortification, stood strong against Paul Davion's assault in 2833. General Greer was resolved to end the stalemate, though—will he succeed, or will the Capellans hold their own?

Scenario: Birch's Charge[edit]

(11 August 2006) - In early 3065, at the height of the FedCom Civil War, the situation on Panpour was static. DeMaestri's Sluggers of the Fighting Urukhai hold much of the world.

Scenario: Brains vs Brawn[edit]

(This scenario was published a second time as "Brains vs. Brawn" on 21 September 2007; the teaser text read In the battle for New Syrtis, not all the objectives were points on a compass. Some were very much flesh and blood.)

Scenario: Return of the Wolves: Rebellion - Salvage[edit]

(27 September 2007) - We've spotted a small group of merc scavengers outside Hutchinson Pass. The local miners in the area tell us they're looking for one of our old sunken weapon caches; while I don't know what's buried there, the fact is there are vultures there digging up Dragoon equipment.

Outreach, undated: In the aftermath of the scouring of Outreach, Rebel Group Alpha of Tara's Ghosts under Tara Lucas attacks a salvage team guarded by elements of the Broadsword Legion.

Owing to its nature as a Track scenario, the exact composition of the opposing forces and the game map are variable.

Scenario: Return of the Wolves: Rebellion - Furball[edit]

(12 October 2007) - Donny's been itching to show the Legion a thing or two about air combat ever since he heard the traitor mercs have pulled together some sort of air wing – taken from our own hangars.

Outreach, undated: Rebel Group Gamma of Tara's Ghosts launches an air strike against an array of antenna towers; the Broadsword Legion air wing must defend.

Part two of the Rebellion Track, also playable as a stand-alone scenario with variable forces and game maps. All eligible forces are airborne units.

Scenario: Return of the Wolves: Rebellion - Data Mining[edit]

(12 October 2007) - Found out from our contacts near Wellstone City that the Widowmakers have been poking around the site of one of Blackwell's main network nodes. So they're now interested in our data as well as our machines? No matter. I am a virus to their pretty Blakist programming.

Part three of the Rebellion Track, also playable as a stand-alone scenario with variable forces and game maps.

Scenario: Return of the Wolves: Arrival[edit]

(19 October 2007) - So General Wolf is alive. About time she sent us some help – even if it is in the form of that upstart Church woman, leading a pale imitation of the Black Widows. When this is all over, I'm thinking I need to go Natasha on her and redeem the wrongs done to us.

Outreach, undated: Outside the former site of Fort Wolf on the plains of Romulus (in wooded and/or wetland terrain), a lance of the newly arrived Black Widow Company encounters an enemy mercenary patrol (from Wannamaker's Widowmakers or the Broadsword Legion).

Part four of the Rebellion Track, also playable as a stand-alone scenario with variable forces and game maps.

Scenario: Return of the Wolves: Water Spiders[edit]

(26 October 2007) - Crazy as he is, Whitehorse had the right idea. Coming over from Romulus on a submarine was a stroke of brilliance; I doubt the Blakists and their lackeys have any idea we're here. Now all we have to do is make them pay, and pay in blood.

Outreach, undated: Debarking from their underwater transport on the coastal shelf of Remus, a lance of the Black Widow Company engages scout forces from Wannamaker's Widowmakers and the Broadsword Legion.

Part five of the Rebellion Track, also playable as a stand-alone scenario with variable forces and game maps.

Scenario: Return of the Wolves: Ghosts[edit]

(02 November 2007) - Time for us to take the fight beyond our home – such as it is. First, however, we need to remove the head of the snake from its loathsome body. Scavengers need to understand something – never pick at a body until you're sure it's dead. Otherwise, it'll just wake up and gut you.

Outreach, undated: A combined-arms force from Rebel Group Alpha and Beta of Tara Lucas' Ghosts attacks the administrative complex of the mercenary Wannamaker's Widowmakers, facing off against their command lance and support units.

Part six of the Rebellion Track, also playable as a stand-alone scenario with variable forces and game maps.

Castor, 7 June 3011 or 15 June 3012: The fledgling Kell Hounds were sent on a raid on Castor along with Snord's Irregulars, with orders to take out a supposed cache of illegal atomic weapons. Salome Ward's command bring elements of the 30th Marik Militia to battle near the depot just before they can use the atomics against the mercenaries. (1x2 mapsheets, Level 1 tech)

(This scenario was previously published under the same title in the sourcebook The Kell Hounds, but for the BattleCorps republication the timestamp was changed from 15 June 3012 to 7 June 3011. This seems to be in error, and 15 June 3012 seems to be the correct date; see Snord's Irregulars article for details.)

Hard Steel[edit]

Strike at the Heart[edit]

(12 August 2008) - As the fires of the Jihad rages around us, let us remember a simpler war, in a simpler time. Even in the depth of the Fourth Succession War, the little battles still mattered and still counted. The inexperienced power of the Suns, vs. the skilled but constrained Capellans. Which side will you choose?

Tikonov, 9 October 3028: During House Davion's attack on Tikonov in the Fourth Succession War, an Ariana Grenadiers lance is ordered to defend the city of Gizhiga against a much heavier Davion lance piloted by rookies. (2x1 mapsheets, Level 1 tech)

(15 August 2008) - Another camp fire memory, to keep us warm in the nuclear winter of the Jihad. The planet is Liao, the time is the Fourth Succession War. Choose the Elite General and her band of green but eager pilots, or choose the rugged and defiant Capellans fighting for the soil they were born on.

Liao, "date classified": During House Davion's attack on Liao in the Fourth Succession War, Blue Star Irregulars in Davion employ battle House Liao forces in the Dreyman Pass in an attempt to destroy them before reinforcements can come to their aid. (2x1 mapsheets, Level 1 tech)

Catch-22[edit]

(16 September 2008) - Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed. Some days you get a swift kick in the teeth. A reminder that behind every good army, is a government ready to find fault with any good deed.

Clan Star Adder sends Rattle Trinary of the 10th Armored Cavalry Squadron to claim them, but on-site they encounter another salvage team: the Alpha and Beta Binaries of the 55th Red Vanguard. (2x2 mapsheets, Level 2 tech)

Scenario: Under Pressure[edit]

(15 September 2009) - Even among the Clans combat is not always practical only in wide-open flat plains. Sometimes one is forced to fight where the objective is.
