An abandoned enemy artillery piece of an unknown type has been sighted in a contested area. It is assumed that the crew fled when the area was targeted earlier in the day by a speculative mortar strike. Elements of the 3rd Bywater Sharpshooters have been tasked with escorting an allied artificer to examine or destroy the gun, which appears to be one of those which have recently begun to shell Dunhold from here on the west bank of the Nura. It is suspected that enemy troops are also bound for the area.
The goblins are a squad despatched from a nearby infantry battalion.
15 x Infantry Q5+ C1 Assault Rifle, Gregarious @ 19

= 380
The artificer was allotted a squad of elite infantry to escort him.
For every action allotted by the artificer to examining the gun while in contact with it he collects one 'data point'. After the game - provided the artificer gets off-table, or someone else collects his scan-stave - roll 1D10. A zero means the data is corrupt. A roll of equal to or under the collected data points means the logistics corps have enough information to understand the gun's capabilities and the mission has been successful.
