Battlefield
This scenario uses the Battlefield Set-up guidelines, as described on page 117 of the Necromunda Rulebook.
Crews
This scenario uses the standard rules for choosing a crew, as described on page 118 of the Necromunda Rulebook. Both sides use the Custom Selection (10) method to choose their crew.
Deployment
Players roll off with, the winner choosing one corner of the battlefield and deploying their entire crew within 6" of this corner. Their opponent then places their entire crew within 6" of the opposite corner. A Dome Runner is then placed in the centre of the battlefield.
Dome Run
In the End phase of each round, the player with Priority moves the Dome Runner. The Dome Runner must move their maximum distance and end their move at least 5" from where they started. After the Dome Runner has moved, the player who moved them may place a loot casket and/or a booby trap (of their choice) within 6" of their final position (see the Necromunda Rulebook for details on loot caskets and booby traps). Alternatively, they may remove a booby trap from within 6".
As the gangs are trying to follow the trail left by the runner, they don't want to kill them.
If the runner is hit by an attack, they are Pinned as normal but otherwise unaffected.

The battle ends when one gang has opened three loot caskets or only one gang has fighters remaining on the battlefield.
