Experience the early phases of the Fifth Frontier War with Flashpoints!
Escape the Zhodani Occupation of Utoland and uncover the mysterious secrets of Rock Twelve...​


Utoland… bleak, miserable Utoland.

Amid a disaster aboard a giant mining machine, the Travellers start asking themselves why they would come here, why they would take such dangerous and underpaid work – and why their memories are suddenly disjointed. As the Zhodani occupation of Utoland begins, the Travellers realise they are not who they thought they were. The answers lie in a spacecraft in the Utoland system, but to reach it they must go through the Zhodani occupation force.

Couldn't find an errata thread and wanted to ask about the Zhodani Occupation force detailed on pages 31-36.

On the chart of the unit on page 32 we're told that a "Rifle Team" consists of a Leader of Ten, 3 x Riflemen, a Support Gunner, a Leader of Five, 3 x Riflemen, a Grenadier.
But on page 36 where Zhodani troopers are detailed we're only told about what is the equipment of a trooper who is presumably the "rifleman". What different equipment does a Grenadier have, if any?
We're also told the Support Gunners may have tac missiles, but they aren't detailed anywhere in the adventure. What missiles should we use?

Hey there,

For the Grenadier, a 'lighter' heavy weapon will work well, and you can mix and match. However, a grenade launcher would be a good place to start.

For the Support Gunner, a rocket launcher from the CRB will be very suitable.
 
I'm a bit confused by the text on page 31 which says the Occupation Company has a nominal strength of 100 personnel. The graphic on page 32 and the accompanying text would suggest the number is considerably more than 100 as there is the headquarters element with around twenty personnel as well as the two "fifties".

Also, although I like the creativity behind the description of the Zhodani military organisation in this volume, I'm surprised that there is no mention of the same rules of organisation in the chapter on the Zhodani Ground Forces in "Fifth Frontier War" starting on page 66. Yet they have the same author?!
