About the game
The Regiment is sometimes hired for a single important mission inside of a wider campaign. These missions are high risk but high reward and the Regiment has been hired because local forces are incapable of accomplishing it. The missions could be in support of a colonial kleptocrat who is under siege by rebel groups or in protecting vital infrastructure for corporate bloc oligarchs. This missions in this brief are four typical combat missions an can be used to "fatten up" a campaign of storyline missions. The missions are pretty generic an can be used in any previous published campaign compatible with either Dirtside II or FUBAR. They can also be used in homebrew campaigns or as stand alone missions. This PDF provides 4 complete missions for Dirtside II and FUBAR as well as complete stats for 5 Regiment vehicles and their Dragoon infantry Squad. It also includes a quick points calculation for creating your own vehicles using the FUBAR rules. —description from the publisher
