Not all missions happen in the best of conditions. This mission happens in the dead of night during a long and treacherous hike back to home base. Conditions such as these are very dangerous since troops are nearly on top of each other before they can react. Once the chaos ensues, the job now becomes getting home alive.
Terrain
Each player takes it in turns to place a piece of terrain, either a structure or a connecting walkway, until there is no more terrain to place or the players agree that there is enough. It is suggested that the terrain is set up within an area of 4′ by 4′, or slightly smaller, so that the kill teams start off a reasonable distance apart.
Kill Team Deployment
Each player rolls a dice. The low scorer chooses which battlefield edge they wish to set up on, and places all of their kill team within 8″ of that edge. Their opponent then sets up within 8″ of the opposite battlefield edge.
Starting the Game
The players roll off. The winner takes the first turn.
Special Rules
Only models 12” or closer can be targeted. All models being that are 12” – 6” away gain a +2 to their armor save; models between 6” – 3” gain a +1 to their armor save; models less than 3” gain no benefit. Laser dots, scopes, photo-visors, and marker lights do not affect the ranges nor the armor save bonuses, they are not cover saves.
Ending the Game
There is no specific objective other than to drive off the enemy kill team. If the one of the kill teams manages to get all of their surviving members off their opponents side of the board they win. If a kill team fails a bottle test, or one player volunteers to bottle out, the game ends immediately. The kill team that bottles out loses and the other kill team wins.
Special
If the winning kill team takes at least three enemy models out of action, and inflicts three times as many out of action casualties as it suffers itself, then it earns one additional promethium cache due to the huge amount of territory they have claimed.
NOTE: Based on Kill Team mission in the Shadow Wars: Armageddon rule book.
