Scenario: The Flight of General Syckava

THE SHORT VERSION

A weakened officer and surviving prisoners begin between arriving Tau and Tallarn patrols. The Guard must escort Syckava off their table edge without his falling back, while the Tau must prevent that escape. Both armies enter from reserve, and Rough Riders receive a guaranteed arrival that suits their role as desert scouts. Reduced characteristics make the rescued group vulnerable and turn movement and protection into the mission’s central problems.

The scenario points to a desert generator on page 50, but that generator is actually on pages 70–71. The preceding narrative describes five men escaping with Syckava; the scenario explicitly gives him four accompanying prisoners. The source also varies the spelling Syckava/Syckva.
