Stargrave: Acceptable Losses (Stargrave) [9781472875587]

Overview

Take to the battlefield with Acceptable Losses, the first military-focused supplement for Stargrave, featuring rules for vehicles and a host of new solo and cooperative scenarios.

Despite its many perils, the Ravaged Galaxy still contains abundant wealth, territory, and technology – and no small number of states, corporations, and factions willing to fight for them. With any military force of note obliterated in the Last War or routed by the pirate fleets, these rivals now turn to small, independent contractors to fight their battles. In these brutal conflicts, a single armoured vehicle or a squad of veteran troopers can make all the difference. But these are valuable, potentially irreplaceable, assets, so every mercenary commander must continually ask the question: “Is the risk worth the credits?”

Acceptable Losses brings this warfare to the Stargrave setting, allowing players to form their own mercenary companies and sell their services to the highest bidder. It presents rules for military vehicles, heavy weapons, varied types of combat armour, and specialist military tactics such as airdrop deployment, artillery strikes, and laying minefields. Also included is a host of new solo and cooperative scenarios to test the courage and tactical acumen of aspiring soldiers of fortune. After all, everyone in the Ravaged Galaxy lives a step away from death – might as well get paid for it.
