The Trovak and the Cominski nations have been at a stage of Alert Code Red Four for the
last 12 weeks. Matters have now escalated and they have both decided to initiate direct
action against one another.
Before their respective partisan armies can go in to battle an elite force of special forces
troops must destroy their opponents communications base. These bases are so heavily
built that they can only be blown up with a plasma explosive combined with heavy water.
Each special forces patrol must first of all build a stable transportation device (STD) to
move the heavy water. This special transportation device appears similar to a four sided
pyramid and has to be constructed from hyper tensile steel and carbon fibre strands. To
the untrained civilian eye these look very much like broomsticks and string.

Once the STD has been constructed each patrol may begin their raid on the enemy. The
STD must be carried by a minimum of four people, the remaining troops may be deployed
by their patrol leader to thwart the enemy’s attempts at exploding their own bomb.
Given the extremely volatile nature of the heavy water all special forces must wear a
protective armband to prevent them from being subjected to the lethal levels of Dispetide
468 radioactive material which is the base element of the heavy water. To ensure that
civilians are not unduly alarmed by troops wearing protective armbands these have been
cunningly camouflaged to look suspiciously like pieces of wool tied around the upper arm
of each person. Should the protective armband be stolen by an opponent or lost in battle a
new armband may be collected from the home base. Without the armband you cannot play
an active part in the operation.
If a Special Forces Team loses their heavy water they can obtain more from their home
base. Due to the volatile nature of Dispetide 468 it has to be transported in small quantities
in special containers which have also been camouflaged and look like drinking cups.
The winning side will be the first one to destroy the enemy base. To do this their patrol
must arrive at the base with their heavy water intact, carried in a Stable Transportation
Device by four people. Each person must have their protective armband intact. The Patrol
Leader may then initiate the launch sequence which will fire the plasma rocket and
explode the heavy water.
