    Friday Night Firefight


    (Inspired by events run at several US conventions.)

    Forces
    Each player brings 3 troopers that can form a legal Fireteam: Core, Haris, Triad or Enomotarchos, with a limit of 2SWC. There are no Lieutenant or Command Token rules in place.


    Tables

    Each table will contain 6 Spawning Points and 6 Panoplies.
    Property destruction rules will be in play, but Spawning Points and Panoplies cannot be damaged.
    Each players’ three troopers will be deployed on a random Spawning Point but will then get 2 free Orders to reposition, these Orders can only include movement skills and don’t trigger AROs.


    Gameplay
    Turn order of players will be randomised each Game Round.
    Each player gets 3 Regular Orders per turn, regardless of how many troopers they have left.
    ALL reactive players get AROs!
    Fireteams can be reformed for free in their player’s turn, without use of Command Tokens.


    Respawning
    At the start of a player’s turn, each of their Dead troopers gets an attempt to respawn. To do so, the trooper makes a WIP Roll with the following MODs:
    Light Infantry +3
    Medium Infantry +0
    Heavy Infantry -3
    TAGs -6

    On a successful Roll, the trooper reenters the table on a random Spawning Point. This does not generate AROs.
    Each trooper only gets one attempt to respawn.
    Players can choose to remove their Unconscious troopers to Dead state.


    Teleporting Spawning Points
    At the cost of a Short Skill of an Order, a trooper (and any other members of a trooper’s Fireteam) on or touching a Spawning Point can teleport to a random Spawning Point. They will appear on the destination Spawning Point at the end of the Order, so won’t trigger AROs from the new position.


    Panoplies
    As per ITS missions, any trooper in base contact with a Panoply can make a WIP check to use the Panoply. Troopers with Booty or Scavenger do not need to roll. A trooper can access Panoplies as many times as they want, but must choose a single item to keep.


    Points
    Players get one point per Wound/Structure inflicted to enemy troopers (up to Dead state). Anything that removes a trooper from the game (Monofilament ammo etc.) counts as causing the maximum number of Wounds/Structure.


    Game Length
    When only 1 player has non-Null troopers left on the board, game play ends and the player who scored the most points wins.
