Replicants in Combat Zone
By Robin Dear

There is something quite unnerving about being attacked by a Chrome plated Skeleton.. Replicants are the machine elite, with ultra-sophisticated neural net processors and the latest alloy skeletons. With biological camouflage they are easily capable of passing as a human. Able to infiltrate deep inside enemy territory and providing a devastating punch once they reach their objective, they do not know fear and will carry out their mission at all costs. This makes them effective allies and fearsome enemies. Replicant design is based on a motorised Titanium alloy skeleton covered with artificial tissue to make it look human. This tissue is known as biological camouflage (BIOCAM) and replicants can be supplied with or without BIOCAM. The BIOCAM can be moulded into an infinite number of designs enabling the Replicant to assume a multitude of guises. Replicants without BIOCAM are known as 'Hard-shells'. BIOCAM Repliants are easily able to pass for human, making them able to hide a crowd. At the start of a game, a player with BIOCAM Replicants does not have to declare which individual figures are the BIOCAM Replicants. Note: The player must record which figures are BIOCAM Replicants before the start of the game. There is something quite unnerving about being attacked by a Chrome plated Skeleton. To represent this: Any Green or Average quality figures suffer an additional –1 to any Reaction tests while in Close combat with a Hard-Shell replicant.

Replicant class robots or Replicants as they are commonly known follow all the rules set out in the rulebook unless otherwise stated in the following sections. Replicants are counted as individuals when determining the number of groups and individuals in a force. If a corporate army has five squads then up to five replicants may be used If a corporate army has five squads then up to five replicants may be used Replicant class robots are programmed with the most sophisticated artificial intelligence programs and the advanced neural net computers. They can be used in any type of mission. Replicant class robots cannot 'Drop Down' or take aimed shots as described in the rulebook. Replicants are much smaller than Enforcers are. Consequently they cannot withstand as much damage as an Enforcer. Replicants have two damage categories: major and critical. When a replicant suffers major damage roll on the Replicant Damage table. When a replicant suffers critical damage, the replicant is destroyed and removed from play.

When a replicant suffers critical damage, the replicant is destroyed and removed from play. Replicant Damage Table Roll 1D6 and refer to the below chart 1-2 Arm: One of the replicant's arms is destroyed. Close combat Attack and Wound modifiers are reduced by 1D6 to a minimum of 1D6. The arm may no longer be used. If the replicant is using a heavy weapon it may no longer be used to fire a burst. Single shots are still alloweda 3-4 Leg: One of the replicant's legs is destroyed. Movement actions cost double the normal number of AP. Turning up to 90o now costs 1AP. If both legs are destroyed the replicant may not move. Example: Moving up to 5cm will cost 2AP. 5 Power: The replicant's power unit has been breached and it is losing power. The replicant may only use 3AP per turn. If the replicant's power unit is damaged again it will be destroyed along with the replicantThere is no limit to how many times a single prisoner may be interrogated. 6 CPU: The replicants memory units have been disrupted. It will treat all other models as enemy groups. The replicant will move to attack the nearest group. If the replicant's CPU is damaged again it will be destroyed along with the replicant.

Replicant Types

The Military 5000 Close Assault Replicant - 70 pts + Weapons cost per Replicant Manufacturer: Lancaster Systems Tactical Profile: The Military 5000 is the standard urban combat replicant for most of the major corporations, being designed for frontal assaults and other high-risk combat zones. Like most replicants they do not fare well against opponents equipped with anything except small arms. Military 5000 Replicants can be supplied with or without BIOCAM at no extra cost. Replicants without biological camouflage make the ideal terror weapons against poorly equipped gangs.

The Series III "Trooper" Law Enforcement Replicant - 70 pts + Weapons cost per Replicant Manufacturer: Automated Armaments Tactical Profile: While not as heavily armoured as the Military 5000, the Trooper is no less a threat. It has been designed with a high situational awareness, capable of switching from directing lost tourists to busting cybered up psychos in an instant. The main Purchaser of Troopers is OSL and so comes with OSL design specifications as standard. Troopers are always covered with BIOCAM so that they interact with the public without causing alarm. BIOCAM is fitted at no extra cost.

The Dragoon Class Heavy Support Replicant - 100 pts + Weapons cost per Replicant Manufacturer: Automated Armaments Tactical Profile: The Dragoon is one the most heavily armoured replicants on the market. Designed to withstand nearly all small arms, it can often be found supporting Assault units during clearance operations.
