(198X) Tenant Officers
🕑 Added 2025-03-28 18:45:12 +0000 UTCThe last scenario unit for the Santagrines: just before the book is out.
With all of the major writing, art assets, and structural work already done on the next two army books I figured I'd even out the number of Santagrine scenario units with the rest of the factions. Here's a zero point TACOM for them, and something unusual by the standards of the entire (150+ unit) game roster: a unit with two standees and two "modes", depending on what it's to represent.
Tenant officers, in both cases, are an infantry command team representing Santagrine commanders without the means to fight mounted (be it on a vehicle or aircraft). If representing an Overseas detachment, use their version; if representing a groundling officer (e.g. the mayor of a drome village, bandit leader, etc.) use the baronial version. Both are very similar units, differing only in their small arms and NBC posture. Nonetheless, they get separate standees to reflect this.
The grenade launcher is based on an Italian last-ditch weapon from WW2: the 60mm Lanciabombe. That was an expedient anti-tank weapon with a range of about 80 meters (so, 2" on the tabletop; commensurate with rifle grenades). I've given it an indirect smoke round as well, with a substantially longer range, to help screen your advancing or defending troops.

A rare case where the commonwealth soldier has the cooler hat. I'm a little sad that they can't slot into tercios for protection, but I like that they're small enough to lead thier troops from a Tractor-C.
