Palanite Enforcers In Dominion Campaigns
An Enforcer Patrol can be fielded in a Dominion Campaign if players wish (see the Necromunda Rulebook), but due to their nature will function differently to other gangs in a few important ways.
Territories And Campaign Phases
Enforcers cannot occupy and control Territories like other gangs can. Instead, they start the campaign in control of a single Territory unique to them – the Palanite Precinct Territory.
Occupation Phase: During the Occupation phase, Enforcers may challenge another gang for a nominated unoccupied Territory as normal. Similarly, another gang may challenge the Enforcers to fight for a nominated unoccupied Territory as normal. If the Enforcers win, rather than take control of the Territory, they must perform either a Police Territory or Grant Territory action (as follows).
Takeover Phase: During the Takeover phase, the Enforcers may challenge any gang for a Territory that gang controls. If the Enforcers win, they must perform either a Police Territory or Grant Territory action (as follows).
If, however, another gang challenges the Enforcers during the Takeover phase then the gang is assumed to be launching a bold assault against the Enforcers’ Palanite Precinct Territory (as follows). The challenger cannot gain control of the Palanite Precinct, but will gain the benefits of a successful assault should they win. The Enforcers cannot lose the Palanite Precinct, but can suffer the negative effects associated with it being successfully assaulted.
Territory Actions
If the Enforcers win control of an unoccupied or enemy-held Territory, they must perform one of the following actions during the Wrap-up:
Police Territory: The Enforcers clear up the Territory. In a series of shock assaults and raids, they shut down criminal enterprises and flush out troublemakers:
- The Enforcers gain control of the Territory, but they gain no Boons from it.
- Immediately after taking control of the Territory and after every successful defence of the Territory, the Enforcers gain D3+1 Reputation for purging the Territory of crime.
Grant Territory: The Enforcer player chooses another gang taking part in the campaign. That gang gains control of the Territory andanyCriminal Enterprises associated with it.
Triumphs
Players of Palanite Enforcers may not be awarded the Dominator Triumph. Instead they have a unique Peacemaker Triumph to reach for:
Peacemaker: If none of the players can be awarded the Dominator Triumph – because two or more players hold the same number of Territories – the Enforcer is awarded the Peacemaker Triumph.
Unique Territory – Palanite Precinct
Fortress, gaol, and place of execution, a Palanite Precinct is the authority of Lord Helmwar stamped boldly into the very structure of the underhive in rockcrete and plasteel for all to see.
Homeground
If challenged in the Takeover phase, the ensuing battle will automatically take place within the Palanite Precinct, representing a bold gang assaulting the Precinct:
- When the Palanite Precinct is assaulted, the battle will automatically be fought using Zone Mortalis terrain.
- The player that controls the Enforcers sets upall of the tiles, doors, barricades and any other terrain features. They also can decide if any of the doors are locked. The player who controls the Enforcers treats all doors as unlocked, and can relock any door.
- The player who controls the Enforcers automatically has the Home Turf Advantage when the Palanite Precinct is assaulted.
Territory Boon
Income: The gang earns D6x10 credits from this Territory when collecting income.
Gang Assault: A gang can never take control of a Palanite Precinct. If, however, a gang should assault the Palanite Precinct and win the ensuing battle, that gang will gain +5 Reputation.
