Devlin Stone's army is raiding Murphrid in an effort to gather intelligence about Word of Blake defenses in the area.

Initial declarations:


  • Stone's Army will arrive in Operational Round 1
  • Top Level Units: elements of Stone's Commandos, elements of Stone's Hellcats, The Belle Lee Express.
  • Operational Intensity: Raid
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Apollyon, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Raid defense results:


  • Aerospace units may not be deployed against the raiding force
  • Ground response is capped at 75% of the raider's FP
  • The raiding force receives a +2 initiative bonus

The initiative bonus raises DSA's roll to a 13, so they definitely win initiative.

Since the raid defense roll prevented WOB from intercepting, no combat occurs.

Purely for the sake of example, lets pretend that WOB could intercept, and issued different orders.

QuoteAlternate WOB Op Round 1 orders:

Jump Point: No units
Atmo/Orbit: Intercept -- elements of Blessed Fire III-pi, 2x medium ASF Level II (A+B), R/R 16 FP. No orders -- elements of Blessed Fire III-pi.
Surface: No orders -- Elements of WOB 14th Division, Elements of WOB 39th Division.

QuoteIn the alternate outcome, DSA is forced to initiate combat to prevent the interception. DSA commits elements of Stone's Hellcats to this task.

Defend -- elements of Stone's Hellcats (2x Light ASF Squadron, A+B, V/R, 12 FP)

Had WOB rolled better on their raid defense roll, it appears things would have been much tougher for the DSA.
