Starforce Errata

In early editions of StarForce, certain values in this Scenario
were in error. These are corrected below.

[38.0] The Rescue Mission: A solitaire game

General Rule: Players have twelve StarForces available to lift
off 60 Population Points (each Population Point represents a
third of a million humans). A combined set of two decimal
randomisers is used to simulate the uncertain time of the nova.
The actual star in question is determined randomly at the start
of the game. Players win the situation by getting all the
population safely off the planet.

[38.1] Determining the Location of the Endangered System

Pick a chit from the Stellar Randomiser and read the top two-
digit number. Read that number as one of the hexes in the '2000'
column of hexagons (the same column that Sol and 70 Ophiuchi are
in). If the bottom number of the chit is positive trace a
clockwise orbit around Sol maintaining a constant hex distance
from it (this will describe a large hexagonal circle just like
the rings of Zulu Limits printed on the map). If the bottom
number is negative, trace the orbit counter-clockwise. The first
tertiary star system that the orbit traces through (in a two-
dimensional sense) is the endangered system. If there is no
tertiary system in that orbit, pick another chit.

[38.2] Initial StarForce Deployment

Four StarForces at 2022/0 (Sol), two StarForces at 2336/+17
(Sigma Draconis), four StarForces at the endangered system, and
two StarForces at the (undestroyed) tertiary system nearest to
the endangered star (in true distance). If two stars are equally
near, use the one which is nearest to Sol. All StarForces are
empty. All systems have StarGates except the endangered star and
those destroyed in the First Incursion (see 31.62).

[38.5] Victory Levels

Victory is measured in terms of how many Population Points are
saved (each equalling one Victory Point; a perfect score of 60
Victory Points is a Decisive Victory over the situation; a score
of 50 to 59 is a Substantive Victory; 40 to 49 is a Marginal
Victory. Less than 40 Points is a defeat. If a StarForce is lost
in the rescue attempt (either by Overshift results or being
incinerated) subtract three points from the score. Don't forget
to counts as lost any Population Points on destroyed StarForces
at the time of destruction.
