NEW SCEwARIO2: GIAwT KILLERIn the Underhive it's kill or be killed. Theonly way for a gang to gain respect andincrease its social standing in the hive is tokill or decimate a gang or hired gun who ishigher up in the Underhive pecking order.Of course, there is the reason they are morewell known and respected than the fledglinggangs in the first place!So when gangs heard a rumour that afamous hired gun may not be the powerfuland feared scourge he had lead them tobelieve and that, in fact he would be apushover. Some gangs dismissed this asmere rumour others saw this as an easywayto quickly rise in power andrespect... .maybe.TERRAINSetup starts with whichever gang has thelowest gang rating; then it proceeds to thenext lowest gang rating and so on, eachplacinga piece of terrain.GANGSEach player chooses a side or corner oftable.

If more than one gang wants todefend the hired gun, the gang with thelowest gang rating will get to. For thepurposes of computing handicap in thiscase, his lone team will be compared to thecombined score of the attacking gangs.The hired gun is alwaysplaced at the centreof the table.THE HIREDGUNThe Hired Gun should be one of the specialcharacters listed in the book. It should beone that would ally with the lone defendingteam (if there is one), or one appropriate tobe fighting all the attacking gangs.Because tis fighting for it's life, the character will getone turn after eachplayer's turn.

the special characters actions. If there is nolone defending gang, then the specialcharacter will do whatever makes the mostsense (logically or in cbaracter), decidedupon by all players.

experience if their team didn't bottle.. Each defender still standing at the endof the game will receive 5 experience.. Each gang member that participated willreceive d6 experience.. Each wound inflicted on a ganger willgive 5 experience.

NEW SCETVARTOt CIVIL UwBESTEven in the ragtag, stockaded settlements ofthe Underhive there is a Code of Order, ofspecial note is that gang fights are nottolerated inside the settlements. Largerdomains such as Glory Hole and Dust Fallseven opefate a no-weapon policy to ensureno such disruptions take place.However Underhive gangs can benotoriously unpredictable and so when twofeuding gangs meet, with a long history ofhatred between them, even the busyconfines of a crowded settlement plaza arenot going to stop this battle.TERRAINSetup starts with whichever gang has thelowest gang rating; then it proceeds to thenext lowest gang rating and so on. Eachplayer takes turns setting up a piece ofterrain in on the board. try to make thecentre of the board more into a centralplaza/squarc type area.

GAfrGSEach player takes a turn placing 3 civilianson the board. Then each player choses aside, corner or the middle of the table. Eachplayer then takes turns placing one gangmember on the table; the first figure must bewithin 8" of the starting spot (the middle oftable edges, or the corner or the table, or themiddle of the table), each additional figuremust be within 8" of a previous gangmember, and no closer than 8" of anyopposing gang figure.LIMITATIONSBecause the gangs are in a populatedsettlement where weapons and equipmentis servedy restricted everyone is limited toone hand-to-hand weapon, and oneranged/special weapon. No one will be

allowed to bring aheatry weapon on unlessthey have at least one Stealth skill. If they do,then the heavy weapon can be brought ininstead of the ranged/special weapon.Because figures that use heavy weapons areso attached to their weapon, any gangmember that can't bring on its healyweapon can opt to be left out of the fight,maybe he's back at the 'habs' cleaning theweapon!Since the gangs were not originallyexpecting a combat sifuation, the gangs willhave not employed any Hired Guns. Onlythose character models that would help outan underdog team will be along for this ride.

clvtttANsThe civilians should be composed ofminiatures that are obviously notNecromunda gang miniatures. Once combatstarts, the cMlians move at the very end ofeach combat round (treat them as a garrgthat rolled the worst possible initiative roll).Any civilian within 8" of a table edge will runoffthe edge, and out of combat. Roll a d6 forany other civilian, on a l-3 they will run to

(or stay next to) a piece ofterrain that offerssome cover, on a 1-6 they wil l try to run forthe nearest map edge.If any civilian is injured, all the gangsinvolved will be accused of being outlaws ifthey aren't already. If more than one isinjured then all gangs will have a -1 penaltyon their die-roll to determine the outcomeof being accused of being an outlaw. If onegang injures more than half the civilians,that gang will suffer a -3 penalty rather thana -1 on their die-roll.ENDGAMEThe game will end when only one gangremains.REWARDThere isn't much reward in this scenario. If ablood-bath starts, and civilians start dying,the single remaining gang will collect d6credits off of each downed cMlian. They canalso choose to mug the rest of the civiliansstill on the board at the end of the game. Ifthey chose to do so, they also get d6 creditsoff eac[ of them, but they will face the -3dice roll penalty when determining if thevare an outlaw at the end of the game (ratherthan the -1).
