In this scenario, a gathering is interrupted when a rival gang attacks.

Attacker and Defender​

In this scenario, one gang is the attacker and the other is the defender. In a campaign, the player who chose this scenario is the attacker. In a skirmish, players roll off and the winner decides whether they will attack or defend.

Battle Type​

This scenario can be played as either a Zone Mortalis or Sector Mechanicus battle; vehicles and wargear that grant the Mounted condition cannot be included in either gang's crew or Reinforcement deck.

Battlefield​

Set up the battlefield as described in the Battlefield Set-up section of the Necromunda Rulebook.

Crews​

This scenario uses the standard rules for choosing a crew as described in the Battlefield Set-Up section of the Necromunda Rulebook. The defender uses the Custom Selection (8) method. The attacker uses the Random Selection (D3+2) method. The rest of the attacker's Fighter cards are set to one side to form the Reinforcements deck.

Deployment​

The defender deploys their starting crew within 9" of the centre of the battlefield. The attacker then deploys their entire starting crew within 3" of any battlefield edge.

Gang Tactics​

Each player may choose two gang tactics from those available to their gang. If, during the pre-battle sequence, one player's Gang Rating is less than their opponent's, they may randomly determine one additional gang tactic for each full 100 credits of difference.

Ending the Battle​

The battle ends at the end of the sixth round.

Victory​

If, at the end of the battle, the attacker has at least 2 fighters within 6" of the centre of the battlefield then they are the winner. Otherwise, the defender wins.

Rewards​

Credits​

The victorious gang adds 2D6x10 credits to their Stash.

The losing gang adds D6x10 credits to their Stash.

Experience​

Each fighter who took part in the battle earns 1 XP.

If a fighter takes the opposing Leader Out of Action, that fighter earns an additional D3 XP.

Reputation​

The victorious gang gains D3 Reputation.

If either gang bottled out, they lose 1 Reputation.

Home Turf Advantage​

The defender has the Home Turf Advantage.

Reinforcements​

The attacker can use Reinforcements, as described in the Battlefield Set-up & Scenarios section of the Necromunda Rulebook. At the start of each End phase, D3 attacking fighters arrive.

Fleeing the Battlefield​

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