Saving Janos Marik
“Bravo and Charlie report,” Lieutenant Joshua Davion’s voice crackled. Paul Masters, Captain of the Rolling Thunder Company, could picture his grin. “They’ve engaged the Cappies on the far side of the bay. Looks like all of the enemy fast-movers are moving to engage. Just like you predicted, sir.”
“That still leaves two lances, give or take,” Masters replied coolly. “Not a problem, if we play our cards right. Gentlemen, and lady—shall we?”
“Janos Marik is waiting for us,” Sergeant Major Rebecca Cage said, stifling a laugh that was nearly a giggle.
“Wouldn’t want to keep my namesake waiting,” Corporal Valens replied with a laugh of his own.
“Be a shame to have to sink it. The Janos Marik is a fine ship.”
“You won’t think so if the Capellans get her back in action and start shelling the rest of the regiment,” Masters pointed out. “We’ve got a Karnov inbound with a skeleton crew—but we need to clear out the Capellans. If thinks look dicey, we’ll have to scuttle the ship and go.”
“Captain,” Sergeant Cage interjected, “I don’t think we could sink the Janos Marik if things start going south. We’ll have to either commit to it destroying it now, or focus on the Capellans.”
Masters’ Orion twisted at the waist, and offered a slight bow. An impressive feet for a ‘Mech struggling to keep its balance as it marched across the bottom of the ocean. “Just so. We’ll make that call once we see what the Capellans are fielding. If we’re badly outgunned, we’ll sink the ship. Otherwise, you’d better clear a space for another medal because we’re saving Janos Marik!”

New House Rules:
Lightning Storm: All attacks suffer a +1 penalty to hit due to light rain, all missile attacks suffer an additional +1 to hit due to moderate wind. Every turn, lightning has a chance to strike random hexes.
A Break in the Weather: Every player may opt to see a 'break' in the weather, removing the rain and wind penalties for all attackers. Each individual player may only 'break' the weather once. The lightning effect still occurs.
Naval Unit: The Janos Marik is an ocean-going artillery platform. It can absorb 160 damage to any single hex before it begins sinking.
