Marzil's Marauders

Having never played Striker before what follows represents my current best understanding of the rules.

Scenario 1: The Raid requires the creation of a full company of Tanoose Freedom League (TFL) guerillas and so I present "Marzil's Marauders". Let's start with the man himself.

Name: Marzillian Erkossa (aka Marzil)

UPP: 6967A7

Age: 38

Cr 180,000

Skills: Leader II, Tactics II, Recruiting II, Gun Cbt II, Brawling I, Forgery I, Blade Cbt I, Pilot I, Electronic I, Liaison I, Interrogation I

Service History: Pirate 3 terms, Diplomat 2 terms.

Marzil is a smuggler by trade and for many years made a living running contraband across the demilitarised neutral zone in his ship "The Forlorn Hope", a decommissioned Type T 400-ton patrol cruiser. Somewhat idealistic,  his previous activities in the TFL are represented by his time as a diplomat where he primarily focused on recruitment. His contacts among the Sworld Worlds and the Zhodani Consulate have made him a key player in the TFL hierarchy.

 THE MARAUDERS

I had some Heroics and Ros modern USA infantry lying around and decided they would make suitable guerilla infantry. I also have some support weapon packs too, just in case an escalation of force is required in future scenarios. Because this is my first go at the Striker design system I decided to make things easy on myself.

100 men all MILITIA rated ergo: 84 x Recruits, 10 x Regular, 5 x Veteran, 1 x Elite

Company HQ

1 x 4MFT (2R2Rc): Morale 6. Average initiative. 7mm ACR

1^st Platoon (The Ready Platoon)

                   1 x 4MFT (2R2Rc). 7mm ACR

2^nd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (2R2Rc). 7mm Carbines

All Fire Teams in the 1^st Platoon have a Morale of 6 and Average initiative

2^nd Platoon

1^st Squad: 1 x 4MFT PHQ (1V3Rc). Morale 6. Average initiative. 5.5mm Assault Rifle

                   1 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 5.5mm Assault Rifle

2^nd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 5.5mm Assault Rifle

3^rd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 5.5mm Assault Rifle

3^rd Platoon

1^st Squad: 1 x 4MFT PHQ (1V3Rc). Morale 6. Average initiative. 7mm Auto Rifle

                   1 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm Auto Rifle

2^nd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm Carbines

3^rd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm Auto Rifle

4^th Platoon

1^st Squad: 1 x 4MFT PHQ (1V3Rc). Morale 6. Average initiative. 7mm Auto Rifle

                   1 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm Auto Rifle

2^nd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm ACR

3^rd Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm Auto Rifle

4^th Squad: 2 x 4MFT (4Rc). Morale 4. Low initiative. 7mm Carbine

The adventure book stipulated that there should be a mix of gun types with at least 30% being Auto Rifles so I devised this table and rolled by the squad:

1 = 7mm ACR

2 = 7mm Carbine

3 or 4 = 7mm Auto Rifle

5 = 5mm Assault Rifle

6 = 7mm Assault rifle

As can be seen Marzil has put his veterans in positions of command and has formed a small Ready Platoon. He usually commands the Ready Platoon and tends to use it as a "fire brigade"/tactical reserve. The company support squad is usually commanded by the Senior NCO.
