Source: Book of Peril

Attacked & Defender​

The gang who chose this scenario is the attacker, the other is the defender. Otherwise, randomize one gang to choose who to be attacker and defender.

Battlefield​

Standard.

Crews​

  • Attacker: Custom.
  • Defender: Random (D3+5) + Reinforcements.

Tactics Cards​

  • Custom (2).
  • Underdog (starting crew cost): +1 random per 100 credits.

Deployment​

Standard. Then the attacker places 3 bomb markers at least 12” from another marker and at least 16” from the attacker’s deployment area. These are the points where the attacker must plant their bombs.

Reinforcements​

  • Defender: D3.
  • Each End phase (starting on the 2nd round).

Special Rule: Bombs​

The attacking crew is carrying a collection of homemade explosives to blow up machinery vital to the rival House.

Attackers must spend a Double action (Plant Bomb) if B2B with a bomb marker (including disarmed bombs):

  • Gain 1 XP.

The planted bomb has a counter which starts with 1.

In the End phase, roll a D6 for each bomb, adding the result on its counter. On a 7+, the bomb explodes:

  • Strength 6, Damage D3, Blast (5”), Knockback.

Otherwise, increase the counter’s number by 1.

Defenders can spend a Double action (Disarm Bomb) if B2B with a armed/planted bomb:

  • Make an Intelligence test:
    • Success: Disarmed, gain D3 XP.
    • Fail: If the roll was a double, the bomb explodes.

A disarmed bomb must be rearmed by an attacker using the Plant Bomb (Double) action. The counter is reset to 1.

Functioning Manufactorum​

The Industrial Terrain in this scenario is fully functioning. Terrain activates on a 3+ rather than a 6+.

Ending the Battle​

The battle ends when at least 1 condition is true:

  • Only one gang has fighters remaining.
  • All 3 bombs explode.

Victory​

If all 3 bombs explode, the attacker wins. Otherwise, the defender wins.
