Ariadnan support troops can repair your equipment, call for a rain of death over the enemy, or run through the crossfire, whether on foot or motorized, in order to save your life.
This box includes three miniatures: one Kazak Doktor with Rifle, one Dozer with Rifle, and one 112, Emergency Service Doctor. This box is a great complement to provide specialized troops to your Ariadna Force.
112, EMERGENCY SERVICES
In border territories, the emergency services, like the bars and the brothels, work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In Ariadna, to be a part of the Emergency Services is voluntary and purely vocational. The Service is hard and involves going out to work in conditions that are so bad that others stay safely behind at the base. It means answering distress signals at any hour, in the middle of storms, snow-drifts, or Antipode attacks. But none of this matters, because its duty is to save lives. The 112's are the last hope of the colonist lost in the woods, of the mining operation isolated by the snow, of the farm in flames, the wounded of a caravan assaulted by brigands… They train as field doctors, but also as firemen and trackers.
The toughness of the Ariadnan frontiers has forced them to turn the 112 into a paramilitary unit in order to guarantee real response capabilities in case of emergencies. Although they are not considered combat troops, they collaborate with the Ariadnan army as an auxiliary rescue and medical attention force. Getting involved in the battle is not something that the members of the Emergency Services care much about: like all of the men and women of the Ariadnan border, the 112 have learned to handle weapons to defend themselves during Antipode attacks. Cooperating in combat operations means one more opportunity to help, and also to destroy things with their axes and Halligan bars.
KAZAK DOKTOR
Cossack Doctors are the best medics in the Ariadnan armed forces. They are more than used to operating under hostile fire and do not hesitate to navigate an entire battlefield if that is the fastest way to comrades in need of help. All Ariadnan soldiers know that if something serious ever happens to them, there will be a Doktor ready to bail them out at any cost.
DOZERS, CAMPAIGN ENGINEERS
These units are present in all Ariadnan regional armies, composed of sappers and experts in demolition, maintenance, and recovery of combat materiel. The Dozers are the scrap dealers and door-breakers of Ariadna, and they received their name for operating the versatile Traktor Mul engineering and artillery support vehicles. Originally, the corps was created to clear paths through dense Ariadnan forests and to build permanent or pontoon bridges over the many rivers and deep ravines in the planet’s most savage zones. However, they are also responsible for maintaining machinery and are experts in Teseum processing. Dozers can repair weapons, equipment and armor, be they simple or the most complex Cossack Cherkésskas.
Due to the lack of high technology in Ariadna, they have developed a clinical eye for recognizing pieces of useful material amidst the spoils of battle. Ariadnan troops have standing orders to minimize damage caused to enemy materiel so that the Dozers can make use of parts and technology suitable for Ariadnan systems. This is why their backpacks are true treasure troves of surprises. These campaign engineers have become the worst nightmare of the Logistics Corps, always insistently asking for material to patch one thing or another, or “borrowing” something for an “urgent” task. They are also specialists in cracking security systems. Dozers are demolitions experts, with an instinctive grasp of the number of explosives needed for any kind of electronic lock. This is why it’s usual for them to be required in the front line as support for assaults on highly fortified positions.
