Expansion Rules for using Space Marines in Explorator games, By Sean Patten

SQUADS-You will earn and use Capital (CAP), Experience (EXP), and Loyalty (LOY) points to improve your squad during the campaign.  You start with 16 LOY and 12 CAP.   Note that the members of each squad are divided into two types- TROOPS and CHARACTERS. Note that troops are automatically replaced, whereas characters are not!

MISSIONS- scenarios are made up of two parts. The ENVIRONMENT covers where the mission takes place, and includes rules for blips, natural hazards, special rules for terrain, etc. The MISSION itself covers how the each game starts and ends, and what the team must accomplish on the given mission. Note that some MISSIONs extend over several games. Occasionally, a mission involves open warfare against an intelligent enemy- this type of mission is known as a BATTLE. For battle games, one of the players must volunteer to run the enemy instead of their own squad. The mission writeup will explain how they can earn points for their squad even while they are absent from the battle.

BASIC RULES FOR MISSIONS: BLIPS. If a mission has blips, place the blips face down, randomly. To reveal a blip, you must touch it during your movement. Consult the Environment rules for any blips you reveal. Note that some blips have to be CARRIED to a board edge and dropped off , or in your posession at the end of the game in order to earn them. CARRYING. To Carry an item, you must first pick it up by spending an action. While you carry the item, you may either move or spend an action, not both. You may drop the item for free, anywhere next to you (even on another model, who will then be carrying it). You may carry your own troops if they are KOed, stunned, wounded, or killed, using the same rules- this may allow you to rescue your troops and their equipment from danger.

REQUISITIONING TROOPS AND VEHICLES: Sometimes you'll need a vehicle or special equipment just for a short while. You need to invest in the REQUISITION POOL to be able to requisition. For every 5 points of LOY or CAP you put into the vehicle pool, you will earn 1 REQ point at the beginning of each mission. You spend REQ points to requisition vehicles or equipment as described in the Requisition List below. The item will be yours to use until the particular mission you are playing is over. Note that you may not requisition in the middle of a mission!

POST GAME
DEFAULT AWARD: +1 EXP. Unless a mission says otherwise, each time your squad plays a game, they earn +1 EXP. in addition to any mission specific awards.  KILL POINTS: In battle games, total up the points values of all enemies you kill (this is your kill points).   Divide the kill points by your squad's value (round up).  You earn that much Loyalty for the kills.  At the end of each game, roll on the wound chart for each wounded model.

WOUND CHART (medic may reroll)
1 COMPLICATIONS- model dies! 3-4 FIRST AID- Recover 1 hit.
2 OUT OF ACTION- model is  alive,
but treated as KOed  for the remainder of the mission.		 5 PATCH UP- Recover 2  hits.
6 RECOVERED- Recover all hits.

GAIN SKILLS- As your squad gains experience they may buy skills. However, what kind of skills and how many skills is limited by what Squad types and Special Characters they have. In the troop listings, each character or squad type will have their allowed Skills listed. They do not come with these skills- the skills must be bought at a cost of 5 EXP each.

POST MISSION
DEFAULT AWARDS FOR COMPLETING A MISSION: +1 CAP, +1 LOY unless a mission says otherwise.

LEADERSHIP BONUS: Roll 1 white die per character that survives the mission. For each troop model lost due to the mission, subtract 1 from the roll. If the total is >0, earn +1 LOY. TITHES: You may exchange 2 LOY for 1 CAP.

RECOVERING FORCES, WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT- If the squad lost any  models, they may replace them for free at the end of a mission.  If the squad lost any weapons or equipment (like exploding weapons), you may replace them at the end of the mission for free. You may not replace 1-use items this way! (drugs for example). Note that some missions extend over several games, so you may have to wait a while to replace casualties and weapons!

RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS- To increase the size of your force, you may spend LOY to purchase new troops or characters. Remember that the maximum size of your force is limited to 10 models (not counting requisitioned forces). If you wish to PROMOTE one character type to another type, pay the points difference in EXP.  MUSTERING OUT: Any model that survived the mission may be traded back for their original value in LOY/EXP. You must return their default weapons too!

PURCHASE WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT- To purchase additional weapons and equipment, you must pay the cost listed in CAP. You may purchase RATION POINTS with CAP: for each CAP you spent, you will earn 1 Ration Point per game (the same way Requisition points are earned every mission).  Ration points may then be used to take grenades and special ammo (see below for details).   Following is the chart of ALL weapons available to Marines.  Marines may not use weapons from other charts, nor can anyone use weapons from the marine charts (Imperial Guard for example).  This is because the same type of weapon may perform differently when in the hands of a Space Marine.


NOTE: SQD= what squad types may take the weapon (leaders count as part of a squad and as characters)..
S=Scout.  A= Assault. V= Veteran.  D=Devastator.  C= Characters.  T= Terminator equipped troops.
Special and heavy weapon availability is listed under squad type.  Characters can't take heavy weapons.

EXPLORATOR SKILL CARDS- Print out two copies of these cards.
EXPLORATOR GRENADES- Print out two copies of these counters.

EXPLORATOR ENVIRONMENTS- Following are descriptions and special rules for several environments that an Imperial Explorator team might find themselves in. You can run almost any of the Missions in almost any of the environments, giving a wide range of play experiences. If you like a particular environment, have the Explorator team set up a base there and try several different missions in the same location. Having appropriate scenery for your environment can really help improve the feel of the game, and may even inspire you to write some missions of your own!
EXPLORATOR MISSIONS- These are descriptions of the actual missions you must perform as an Explorator team. Missions can be set in any environment, and dictate what the objectives are, how many games must be played to complete the mission, and other details such as how many enemy forces to use and the rewards for completing the mission. If you like a particular mission, try running it in different environments to keep the games interesting.

EXPLORATOR BLIPS- A set of blips for use in Explorator scenarios- print one copy of these unless you have a lot of players.
EXPLORATOR RECORD SHEETS- Use these to record your squad's progress. Print out and photocopy as many of these as you need to.
