The Battle of the Line

A Miniatures Scenario for The Babylon Project

Table Set Up

I cut a 12" globe in half to represent Earth. It should be placed about 10" from on table corner.
The Minbari may jump in within 24" of the opposite table corner.
The Earth shuttles may exit the table anywhere on the long table edge opposite the long edge the Earth is near.

Order of Battle

Minbari

4 Minbari War Cruisers
1 Minbari War Cruiser that the Minbari player secretly labels as the "Trigati"

Earth Force

3 Hyperion class cruisers
Up to 36 fighter squadrons
1 fighter squadron is labelled as Jeffrey Sinclair's fighter squadron (nicer if you have one painted as such)

Orders Cards

Print one for each side. Only that side may look at their cards.

Earth Force Notes

+3 on Die Roll Needed to Ram (rams on 2+)
Humans get d3+1 shuttle per turn.
Shuttle: Move=20", Hits=2, 1x 360 pulse-1

Victory Conditions

For each turn no Minbari within 12" of Earth:

if < 8' table, 2 points
if >= 8' table, 1 point

For each Human shuttle to Exit Earth space: 1 point
For each Minbari cruiser destroyed: 2 points

Minbari Fleet Notes

Must capture Sinclair's fighter to win game.
Minbari fleet must surrender at end of two full game turns after Sinclair is captured.
Game ends at that point and victory points are tallied.

Victory Conditions

Must capture Sinclair's fighter to win
For each human ship or fighter squadron destroyed: 1 point
If "Trigati" can escape to hyperspace during last turn of game: 1 point

Notes

Remember that its possible to use jump points as weapons but there is a 50% feedback to the ship opening the jump point.
Remember the ramming rules.
