E018 Military Patrol (takes 1 hour)

You encounter a military patrol of six men, see R324. If a battle occurs, determine tech level (R210) and consult appropriate description below:
Frag Grenades: explosive weapons of 3 tech levels below that of the troops carrying them (reflects their inaccuracy if thrown or fired from grenade launchers).

Note: if you have a tank, or a ship’s boat that has used boat guns to fire on planet (and there were any survivors), or a starship
that fired its guns on planet (and there were survivors), the patrol will also have a heavy artillery weapon, see E015 result 4 for
details of this device.
