(S_.0) ASSAULT OF THE ANCIENT WARRIORS (Y180)
by Ahmad Abdel-Hameed, Washington

A cloaked Romulan raiding party was detected by Federation theater-wide sensors. The only ships available to intercept the raid in time were some obsolete units that had been guarding the rear area. In a war that had since long passed them by, both sides yet again were called to duty.

(S_.1) NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2; the Federation player and the Romulan player.
(S_.2) INITIAL SET UP
Federation: CA, 2*CL xx01, heading as desired, speed max, WS-III
ROMULAN: KE, 2*WE xx30, heading as desired, speed max, WS-III. The Romulans may start out cloaked.
(S_.3) LENGTH OF SCENARIO: The scenario continues until all units of one side have been captured, destroyed, or have disengaged.
(S_.4) SPECIAL RULES
(S_.41) MAP: MAP: The map is fixed. The Federation player may only disengage by crossing the xx01 map edge. The Romulan player may only disengage by crossing the xx30 map edge. Leaving the map by any other than the approved exit points is the same as if the unit was destroyed. This scenario is played on the basic asteroid field map.
(S_.42) SHUTTLES AND PFs: Shuttles and PFs will have warp booster packs.
(S_.421) MRS shuttles may be purchased [up to the limits in (J8.5)] under (S_.431). Though only the CA and KE is qualified to carry one.
(S_.422) If using EW fighters, one fighter in any squadron of eight or more can be an EW fighter. If not using EW fighters, it will be a standard fighter of the most common type in the squadron.
(S_.423) PFs are available as balance items in some variants.
(S_.43) COMMANDERS OPTION ITEMS
(S_.431) Each ship can purchase additional or special equipment as Commander's Option Items (e.g. T-bombs, extra marines, etc.) up to 20% of its combat BPV. See (S3.2) for details and exceptions.
(S_.432) Each drone-armed ship can purchase special drones up to the historical racial percentages as part of the Commander's Option Items. Note that (S3.2) allows drone ships extra points for this purpose.
(S_.433) PRIME TEAMS: If the players wish to use the optional rules for Prime Teams (G32.0), the CA or KE may buy one team with its commander's options.
(S_.44) REFITS: The ships on both sides have all available refits.
(S_.5) VICTORY CONDITIONS: Use the Standard Victory Conditions.
(S_.6) VARIATIONS: This scenario is pretty specific for the two races.
(S_.7) BALANCE: The scenario can be balanced between players of different skill levels by one or more of the following changes.
(S_.71) Add an DWS to the Federation side.
(S_.72) Add a SE to the Romulan side.
(S_.8) TACTICS
FEDERATION: Don't run over a Nuclear Space Mine.

The map should be floating unless there is some special thing being defended or whatever. Also, you should set a year.
