Mishaps Table
1D Mishap
1 Severely injured in action (this is the same as a result of 2 on the Injury Table). Alternatively, roll twice on the
Injury Table and take the lower result.

they have you removed from the service.

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.
4 You discover that your commanding officer is engaged in some illegal activity, such as weapon smuggling. You can
join their ring and gain them 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.

the service.
