Mission Deployment And Maintenance Costs For Your CrewA game of ‘Star Mogul’ is played using one of a number of available missions to ‘set the scene’. These missionsare all detailed later in this section of the rules. Every time a player fields his salvage company in a game, he/shewill have to spend money on wages for deploying infantry, or on maintenance costs to maintain vehicles andwardroids.This means that even before a game starts that player is incurring expenses which must be covered by theacquisition of salvage or other valuable items during the game.All models have a ‘deployment cost’ which covers crew wages for bio crew, maintenance costs for MEKK crewor maintenance costs for equipment/vehicles. The following list shows the amounts you will need to pay eachmodel before a game. Add together all of the costs that apply to each individual model in your company, then addall of those together to find your total ‘deployment cost’.Deployment costs1) For Bio crew only - each skill point the model has:+10cr. (So if a bio crewmember had 7 skill in heavyweapons and 6 in hand to hand you would need to pay 130 cr). Don’t count the basic skills that have ‘freepoints’ unless they have been increased beyond their normal ‘free points’ level.2) If model wears a battle suit: +100cr.3) If model is equipped with a heavy weapon: +100cr.4) If model is equipped with a heavy artillery weapon: +150cr.5) If model is a wardroid (regardless of how many upgrades it has): +150cr6) If model is equipped with a melee weapon that can damage vehicles (e.g.: cyber knuckles): +50cr.Vehicles each have an individual deployment cost mentioned in the description for that piece of equipment.You should make a note of your current deployment costs on your salvage company roster. The deployment costis deducted from company funds immediately before a game starts. Don’t forget to allow for this amount when youare purchasing new crew and equipment in between games.Recovery/Repair Rolls For Infantry CasualtiesAfter each game, infantry models that have been removed from play as casualties may only have beenwounded/damaged. They may be available for the next game if a ‘recovery roll’ can be made to determine if theycan be healed or repaired. Also, any infantry or vehicle crew left outside a 6” radius from your drop zone markeras you call in your drop ship and end your game are also considered ‘lost’ or ‘dead’ so they also benefit from thesame recovery rolls as the already wounded and ‘dead’ members of your crew.For BIO crewmembers recovery roll, roll 1D6 at the end of the game. A result of 1-4 means the model has healedor returned to your company and is available for use in the next game.For MEKK crewmembers recovery roll, roll 1D6 at the end of the game. A result of 1-2 means the model has beensuccessfully repaired or returned to your company and is available for use in the next game. The recovery roll islower for MEKK crew because although they are usually more resilient/difficult to kill, once they are removed ascasualties they will have suffered a very heavy level of damage that is difficult to repair.The recovery/repair roll is not available to destroyed/damaged or abandoned vehicles, though it is available tovehicle crew.Any models that lie anywhere on the field outside of a 6” radius from your drop zone at the end of thegame will be considered ‘lost’ or ‘dead’ and be subject to a recovery roll before your next game.Unless you are the last player on the field. In which case all your surviving models and equipmenthave time to return to your drop zone in time to be extracted from the battlefield and only those thatwere wounded or killed need to make a recovery/repair roll.Recovered crew members keep whatever personal equipment they had originally.44
Determining A MissionWhen playing a game of ‘Star mogul’ the players must first determine which mission is to be played. This is doneby rolling a 1D6 and consulting the table below:Mission table - roll 1D61-3 Salvage rights mission: If one company is smaller than the other by 750deployment cost or more, then see the ‘Salvage Raid’ mission.4 Fight over an asset: Roll 1D6 again to see what you will be fighting over:1-2: Ore Mine3-4: Manufacturing plant5: Junk yard6: Alien artifact site5 Asset raid! Both players roll a dice. The highest result means that player may choosewhether to attack one of the other players assets. In which case use the ‘fight over anasset’ mission, but the fight will be over one of the other player’s assets instead. Thewinning dice roller may just decide to ignore this result if they wish, in which case treatas result 4.6 Rescue/Recovery mission. This mission should only be played out where thereare two players available. If there are more than two players then play out a ‘SalvageRights’ mission instead or re-roll on the table.1) Salvage Rights MissionIntroductionOpen salvage has been broadcast across the Outer Rim by the Frontier Union on either a crashed star freighter,an abandoned space colony, an old battle field or maybe an alien archaeological site. Two or more players haveraced to the remote site where the discovery has been made, and deployed upon the surface to recover thesalvage present and, hopefully, claim the salvage rights. The site may not have a breathable atmosphere, inwhich case the players may choose to only use crew members equipped with battle armour or other similarhermetically sealed suits. This is entirely up to the agreement between the two players. Vehicles should be used.If a player can gain the salvage rights, then the Interstellar Frontier Union Government will pay big money for whatthey recover. In order to gain the salvage rights, however, a salvage company will have to recover OVER 50% ofthe salvage present to prove their claim, which means getting it back to their drop zone and having it airlifted outvia their drop ship while under heavy fire, no doubt, from the competition, who will not be too happy at theprospect of losing the salvage rights, and hence making very little or no money at all from the mission.Deployment & Salvage Counters1) For this game, you will need to deploy 1D4+2 salvage counters in your playing area immediately after all otherscenery has been set up, and in a random fashion agreed to by both players. To determine a random region onthe playing area divide the area into 6 parts, give each part a number and roll on a 1D6. (See the ‘Rescue/Recovery Mission’ on page 50 for a diagram on how to do this).2) Cut up a small piece of paper for each salvage counter and mark a value in credits on it, one for each salvagecounter. To determine the value of each counter, roll 4D6 and multiply by 1000 credits. Then take the paperpieces and fold up, and place them in a hat. Then randomly pick the pieces out one by one and place each oneunder a separate salvage counter, so that none of the players knows the value of any of the salvage counters.They will find out when they recover that salvage counter. As they do so they must declare the value to the otherplayers. They should keep the piece of paper with the container that the salvage is being kept in (usually on asalvage dog), to keep track of where the different valued items are on the playing area.45
