Threat: 1.6
Impact: 4.81.0 to 1.9 - 'Hostiles located'
Militia forces are aware of the presence of a mercenary force aiding the Federated Commonwealth. More patrols are scheduled, which will be wider ranging, while military sites are put on alert. Local forces may be sent to the mainland to reinforce the KungsArmé.
The chance of a random encounter increases by +1. Strength decreases by 0.1 at the end of each session at this level.
Strength: 3.24.6 to 5.0 - Heroic effort!
Nobody expected such a brilliant contribution to the campaign to secure Csesztreg III. The exploits and successes of the Obsidian Angels will be heard by other mercenaries, other factions and especially the MRB well before the official review is dispatched. This, of course, will be fully of nothing but glowing praise. The survivors of the Akos Militia and perhaps even the KungsArmé must dread hearing the unit's name. They probably all whisper you are demons. That doesn't matter. What matters is C-Bills, salvage and recognition! These you earn in spades. The AFFC will fully open their logistics chains to the unit too. What's more, they'll also offer special deals and discounts they would ordinarily only offer their own forces or mercenaries that are practically loyal to them. Everyone can expect a bonus and more. An outstanding result!
In game effect: Technician and Administration (Logistics) rolls in AFFC space and Negotiation rolls involving the AFFC gain a free raise. The AFFC will send some forces to support the Angels, allowing for more reinforcement options for combat missions.
Post game effect: All Characters will receive a C-Bill bonus equal to their Monthly Salary, a free rank of Wealth and a rank of Fame when the game concludes. Characters with a Rank of 2.5 or Greater may take either one of the following for free: a) 2/1 Connection to an AFFC Officer (who may be Kurt Guttenberg if he is still alive) b) A free level of Inherited Mech or to upgrade their existing Inherited Mech by a single rank c) A single Premium item of your choice. All Character Goals will be advantaged.
2.0 to 3.5 - Adequate Strength
At this level the Obsidian Angels are operating at adequate strength. Supplies are sufficient. Command channels aren't suffering. More than minimal forces are available. This allows the Angels to have a cavalry force kept in reserve, allowing for speedy repositioning and support. Folks are neither particularly happy or pessimistic. Jobs are getting done and the mission can be focused on.
In game effect: On a Combat Day, a single difficult combat will receive a reinforcement for free. Others may request a reinforcement by expending a Reinforcement Token.
