本 週 我 們 來 看 看 湄 公 河 自 治 領 的 步 兵!

Faction: Peacekeepers

Stat Block

Primary Skills:

Stealth (Camouflage), Awareness (Battlefield), Melee (Takedowns), Survival (Jungle), Gunnery (Small Arms), Institutions (Mekong Law)

Secondary Skills:

Pilot (Ground Vehicle), Investigation (Police Investigations), Medicine (First Aid), Electronics (Computers), Tactics (Peacekeepers), Survival (Explosives)

Squad Organization:

On civilian duty Peacekeepers usually operate in pairs, and their military escouades consist of four of these pairs merged into an 8-man unit. 6 of these carry Main Weapons, with 1 from each of these pairs (3 in total) also carrying a demolition charge, while 1 pair that has received special training carry Support Weapons. SWAT teams are made up of 5 soldiers each, 2 of which carry Main Weapons while 3 carry Support Weapons.

The NPC/Equipment series continues with the Frenchest of all Terra Novans.

Faction: SRA

Stat Block

Primary Skills:

Awareness (Battlefield), Tactics (Southern Republic Army), Melee (Unarmed), Gunnery (Small Arms), Survival (Military Survival Training)

$$$ Secondary Skills:

Stealth (Camouflage), Pilot (Ground Vehicle), Medicine (First Aid), Melee (Knife), Awareness (Forward Observation), Athletics (Throwing), Gunnery (Heavy Weapons)

Squad Organization:

SRA Escouades are made up of 10 soldiers each. 6-8 of these carry Support Weapons, while the remaining 2-4 carry Main Weapons. Heavy Weapons Escouades also exist where 8 soldiers carry Support Weapons and only 2 carry Main Weapons. Since the War of the Alliance the SRA has increasingly embraced an alternate doctrine where all Main Weapons in an escouade are replaced by a second, complementary support weapon, creating a unit with little tactical flexibility but that excels in a singular role. 

As part of the RPG, we want to provide more support with things like premade NPCs. This is the first in a series that will see us look at the various infantry of the powers on Terra Nova. Where better to start than the good old MILICA!

Thank you to Scuttlefish for writing this, and with that I will let him take it away….

Faction: MILICIA

Stat Block

Hi all! Noah here, the Adventures Lead for the Heavy Gear 4th Edition! I hope you’re all excited for the coming seasons of pre-made and carefully crafted adventure modules! First let me share my sincerest apologies for the starter adventure delays. Life threw me some truly overwhelming challenges, and I am saddened to have kept you waiting a little longer for these adventure modules. The team has been doing their very best to support the adventures and I’m incredibly excited to reveal some of their features before their impending release!

Vehicle Rarity

The world of Heavy Gear is full of various factions and powers but what can often be forgotten is that many of those are themselves coalitions of smaller entities. The “North” is a full confederation of 3 leagues of city states for example. Each of those leagues has their own military as well as the Northern Guard and smaller independent reserve or militia units. Within that web of members, different companies produce combat vehicles and sell to those members. However not all members have equal access to all vehicles produced by all companies. Each member would have an easier time buying from local companies for example. This disparity has not truly been modeled in either the RPG or Blitz previously until now.

Hey everyone, Prof here!

Today we are rolling out V1 of the RPG’s Extended Content document. We want all of this in one place for players and directors to be able to refer to at once. Periodically we will update this document with batches of new content or even rotate things out as they get published in official content. The Hanger will be an additional document but that is far from ready yet and likely won’t be online until after launch. Additionally the first wave of canon characters is going to the artists now so we will see some of those soon.
