Select Three Man CORP team: Generate Scores for current Character profile & attach equipment. Use the CORP Roleplaying game to generate the scores needed for the Character profile. I play currently that a player's scores can go up or down and should be re-rolled for each mission. Three man fire teams seems appropriate because of the color markings on the collectable figures - they come in sets of three. Having the fire team from one specific color marking is not critical but purists may insist! Mission Briefing: a descriptive text that tells the story for our CORP troops. This is written text that sets the stage for the upcoming objectives. Your CORP team will proceed through these objectives sequentially. When success is gained at one objective the text in the Mission Format should tell you to move on to the next objective. Insertion: Generate a mission checkpoint and begin assignment. These are typically TAC skills that tell how prepared your team is. They should be light to moderate challenges statistically. Approach: CORP team locates the enemy. Deployment: Ascertain fire team strengths & prepare for firefight. Contact: When the enemy is encountered you must run a dice rolling roleplaying game between the CORP fire team and the enemy troops mentioned in the text. Battlefield: Objective 1: This should be of moderate challenge to your fire team. Objective 2: This should be of difficult challenge to your fire team. Objective 3: This objective can be light or even trivial. Your team passes the test of fire in the previous objective. This is the payoff or the reason for the mission. Evacuation or rendezvous: This is the text that tells how your team will be collected by the CORP HQ. Your surviving members are rested and refit. Debriefing: This is the after mission report that should be recorded and saved to create a mission history for your collection. (the figures need stories).
