SAVING COLONEL RYAN

BACKGROUND
Colonel Ryan has been captured and taken to the Interrogation Block. He knows far too much
and must be rescued. Using experimental stealth ballistic pods, a team of infantry has literally
been fired deep into enemy territory to storm the Interrogation Block and free Colonel Ryan.

They must then flee north and meet up with a submerged SHVY which will take him away from
the danger zone.

His captors, thinking they are safely far behind the front line and so have no real guards at all.
Until the shooting starts and reinforcements are called in from all over.

The action starts as the stealth infantry reveal themselves by attacking the Interrogation Block

 CREDITS AND NOTES
Ideas come from many sources, but in particular the many discussions on the SJGames Ogre
forums have been a long standing source of ideas, rules suggestions, background writing and
more.

I would also like to thank the many artists, writers and designers who have produced not
only the original Ogre materials in all its many variations but also those at FireMountain,
Tiffin Games and BBG who sponsored the design of additional sheets for Ogre some of
which are used in some scenarios.

PLAY BALANCE
I cannot say that all these scenarios are fully playtested, they are not. I’m not someone who
has access to ten’s of players who can thrash through these and give me lots of feedback.
So, if you find a particular scenario unbalanced, maladjusted or otherwise flawed, please feel
free to (a) give me some suggestions and feedback and (b) adjust them as you see fit.

BIDDING TO PLAY
I am a particular fan of the “bid to play” system for scenarios like this. Each side looks at
the defenders available units and defensive position then bids the number of unit points they
think they need to be the attacker. The player who bids the least points gets to be the
attacker.

This has a nice self-handicapping, auto-balancing feel to it.

And of course, there is nothing wrong with playing the scenario twice, swapping sides, and
player with most points over two games wins.
