Republic of Sudan Navy Briefing

The Navy of the Republic of Sudan
Despite all your precautions, it seems that the warmongering enemy has learned of your purchase of vital weapons of self defence and dispatched a fleet of its terror wagons to destroy the peaceful and unarmed freighter carrying them. Intelligence suspects that the perfidious scoundrels will seek to blame the loss on pirates, so you have been dispatched to A’den to pre-empt the attack.

Your mission; protect the freighter and ensure its safe passage.

Point of entry to A’den; the Paleo Khartoum jump node. Roll one red d6 and one black d6. Subtract the red score from the black. This is the number of turns before or after the arrival of the RMS McGuffin that you will arrive. Negative numbers are before the McGuffin, positive after (so ideally you’d like a red 6 and a black 1). The McGuffin is coming in from the Gouanbou Kong node
Desired point of exit; the Paleo Khartoum jump node

Forces; Either your own design, or the following
2 CH Samurai 562
2 CL Arashi 406 1068
3 Bakemono SB with the main beam armament replaced by embarked marines (2 boxes) 165 1233
3 Ashigaru FF with the Class 2 beam replaced by embarked marines (2 boxes) 258 1491

Likely opponents
The perfidious imperialists, of course. And maybe pirates. And those useless do-gooders in the UN. Although the pirates are supposed to have been paid off. And the UN’s reportedly trying to raise the money to refit three supercarriers with class three grasers so as to finish off the pirates with overwhelming force. A likely story
