Ending The Battle​

Victory​

The side who gathered the most Fuel points is the winner.

Rewards​

Credits​

Each gang adds D3x10 credits to their Stash for each fuel point they have.

Experience​

Each fighter that gained a fuel point earns 1 XP.

Reputation​

The victorious gang gains D3 Reputation.

If either gang bottled out, they lose 1 Reputation.

Looting The Battlefield​

The gangs are hunting for fuel caches and will loot any that they find! Roll 2D6 to determine the number of fuel caches, these can be represented by Loot caskets, barrels, consoles or any other small pieces of terrain. Players then take turns placing these objects on the battlefield, starting with the player who has Priority. Fuel caches must be at least 6" from a battlefield edge, and at least 3" from a battlefield object.

A fighter within 1" of a fuel cache can make a Loot (Double) action to see if it contains anything useful:

Loot (Double): Roll a D6. On a 4, 5 or 6, the fighter finds some fuel and their gang gains 1 Fuel point. On a 1, the fuel explodes like a frag trap (see page 269). Regardless of the result of the roll, once a fuel cache has been interacted with, remove it from the battlefield.

Running Low On Fuel​

The vehicles of both gangs are running on vapours. Each time a vehicle is activated, before it performs any action roll a D6. On a roll of 1, the vehicle changes its Status to Stationary and Stalled as the engine stutters.

Fleeing The Battlefield​

If either gang voluntarily bottles out and subsequently flees the battlefield, their opponent automatically wins the scenario.
