Rivet Wars Scenario Editor
There are four new Rivet Wars Action Cards available Download them now as PDF. Or ZIP+PNG Format.
A word of warning - I've had trouble printing these because of articial borders being added by the printer. I think I finally cracked it - please let me know if you know of any good software for printing this kind of thing.
Portable Bullet Stopper: This card can be played during the movement phase. Essentially, it allows an infantry to build a bunker (out of sandbags) at the end of their movement phase. The card can only be played if the infantry is in a grid with only infantry present and only infantry may enter the grid for the duration of the game.
Can You Hear Birdsong?: This lets a player defend their Strategic Objective even after it's been captured. You've left a trap ready to be taken. Inspired by the Lochnagar Mine during the Somme. Put simply the British forces retreated having left explosives behind for the advancing German soldiers. This was the largest explosion the world had ever seen and not beaten until Hiroshima. I was lucky enough to see the crater 12-15years ago and it was still easily 40ft deep.
Fog of War: A thick fog covers the grid and they cannot be attacked until the following round.
Bogged Down: The grid is slick with mud and any units may shoot OR move this turn. Not both.

Battle of Bagnoste: The Allies are quickly advancing through Blight territory and have become exhausted and lacking supplies. The advance units are currently resting in Bagnoste confident that their flanks are secure by dense forests but unbeknown to them, the crafty Rommler has found a way through and surprise the Allies. Can the Blighters take Bagnoste before it's reinforced?

There was some confusion about the range of the Hammer Pounder (which is 4) when counting Diagonals.
Here's a link to the original forum post.
Essentially, the Hammer Pounder is able to reach diagonally 2 squares, this is because it can move diagonally once, then up and across.
Now that the Scenario Editor is up and running, I thought I'd draw the graphic:

Fresh Recruits: The trenches of Rivet are a vast network. They are vital for moving fresh infantry reinforcements rapidly to the next assault. Sometimes the trenches are only a few metres apart; with rich pickings so close, it's hard to resist the opportunity to hinder the enemy before the real battle even begins.
You are the leader of a small defence-squad assigned to ensure the safe arrival of new recruits to the front-line.
VPs are scored by safely transporting new recruits across the board.
