About the game
With Patrol Missions you can add a new mission type to your games of Five Parsecs From Home. Patrol missions can be incorporated into any on-going campaign, giving you a new way to play out battles. Any Opportunity Mission, Quest and many Patron jobs can turn out to be a Patrol mission. During Patrol missions you will sweep the area for possible enemy contacts and intercept them before they can leave the area. Contacts can result in fighting opposition or you might have an easy day without any shooting. Occasionally, you will contend with enemy reinforcements as well. The purpose of this mission pack is that it gives you an easy way to spice up the variety on your gaming table. It is intended for use with Five Parsecs From Home 1.13 or onwards (if you have purchased the rules legally, make sure to download the most recent version). —description from the designer
