New Army Mishaps

New Army Mishaps

2d6	Mishap
2	Finding conditions to be inhumane under a barely sane commander during your current posting you desert and are now a wanted man. Gain 1d3 Enemies amongst the military, including your former commanding officer, who will try to bring you to justice.
3	You are involved in a disasatrous campaign and barely escape off planet in a frantic and badly organised evacuation. This leaves you a long way from your own lines and you make 1d3 Contacts as you return home. However you find yourself a wanted man and are listed as AWOL by an inquisitional commission that has come down hard on those even remotely involved in the debacle.
4	Your regiment merges with another due to budgetry constraints. You are one of those who are not offered a position within the new unit and are forced to leave the service.
5	You spend several days in the brig after getting into a fight with a superior officer. Gain that officer as a Rival as he has you ejected out of the service.
6	Severely wounded. Roll twice on the Injury table and take the lower result.
7	Your unit is slaughtered in a disastrous battle, for which you blame your commander. Gain him as an Enemy as he has you removed from the service.
8	Injured. Roll on the Injury table
9	You are sent to a very unpleasant region (jungle, swamp, desert, icecap, urban) to battle against guerrilla fighters and rebels. You are discharged because of stress, injury or because the government wishes to bury the whole incident. Increase Recon or Survival by one level but also gain the rebels as an Enemy.
10	You discover that your commanding officer is engaged in some illegal activity, such as weapon smuggling. You can join his ring and gain him as an Ally before the inevitable investigation gets you discharged, or you can co-operate with the military police – the official whitewash gets you discharged anyway but you may keep your Benefit roll from this term of service.
11	You are tormented by, or quarrel with, an officer or fellow soldier. Gain that officer as a Rival as he drives you out of the service.
12	You have a strong relationship with a munitions supplier which is deemed to be too close by your superiors and you are ‘requested’ to resign from the service. Gain the supplier as a Contact.
