Primary Objective
Destroy the enemy mercenary platoon to stop the raids and ambushes behind the own lines.
Secondary Objective
Take the enemy leader captive. Our intelligence officers would really like to question him concering the men who sign the paycheck.

Special Rules
We used the 'Complex Ambush Rules' from http://www.hyperbear.com.
The last battle (see Ambush) ended with one FFL trooper being wounded. Before this game started, we rolled to see what happend to him. Unfortunately, the man succumbed to his wound.
The Game
The battlefield. Red arrows indicate the counters representing troops and dummies of the NSL.
The FFL move along the road, eager to finish their contract and get some cool beers.
Everything is nice and quit.
3rd squad happily follows 1st and 2nd, they can already feel moist, cold beer on their lips…
Suddenly, from their right flank the FFL start to take fire. Still, they are lucky, as the NSL squad blew it, engaging the enemy before they reached the destinated ambush point. The squad is only suppressed but does not suffer any casualties.
The air fills with the sound of incoming mortar rounds, the FFL squad just fired on takes cover in the woods.
Another NSL squad revelas itself by opening up.
The 2nd FFL squad also takes fire but only suffers a suppression result.
Running around the flank, this FFL squad suddenly finds itself facing a well prepared NSL squad which immediately mowes down a third of the mercenaries.
The rest of the FFL also moves along the flank, using the hills and woods as cover.
The mortar rounds explode but far from any troops.
In the bachground, the NSL squad that blew the ambush moves behind the FFL forces to encircle them.
Before two FFL squads can combine their fire on the Jäger squads, the Jägers retreat behind the hill.
One FFL squad tries to hold up the Jäger squad at their back. The NSL takes cover in the shrubbery and takes the FFL rearguard under fire.
The NSL squad that started on the far right moves up in support.
Both sqauds take out their entrwenching tools and dig in, ready for any FFL troops.
The FFL moves up but is under constant small arms fire and another volley of incoming mortar rounds.
One of the mortar rounds lands close enough to effect the FFL.
The FFL squad moving through the wood towards the two entrenched Jäger squads is taken under fire by both. It suffers 4 casualties, the surviving squad members rout.
It looks very bad for the FFL.
Aftermath
The commader saw no way to leave the area at this well defended location, and ordered his surviving men back the way they came from. They need to look for another way out of the area…
