105. Data-Purge

Source: White Dwarf, May 2022

Underdog Scenario

This scenario is designed for an underdog gang to have a high-risk/high-reward opportunity against a considerably stronger enemy:

  • At least 400 less Gang Rating than the enemy.
  • Can be chosen if the underdog gets to choose the scenario (when rolling to determine which scenario is played).
  • Underdog tactics cannot be used in this scenario.

Attacker & Defender​

The underdog is the defender, the other gang is the attacker.

Battlefield​

Standard.

Crews​

Custom.

Deployment​

Standard with the following exceptions:

  • Before deployment, the defender places 3 objective markers (binaric cogitator):
    • At least 6" from any battlefield edge.
    • At least 8" from other objectives.

Tactics Cards​

None.

Binaric Cogitators​

The underdog has been hired to prevent other gangs from interfering with data-purging of some binaric cogitators. The attacking gang will try to halt the data-purge subroutines to preserve the data core.

Attackers can spend a Basic action (Hack Cogitator) within 1" of an objective: Pass an Intelligence test to remove it from the battlefield.

The battle ends if any of the following are true:

  • After round 7.
  • Max 1 gang has models remaining.

Victory​

The attacker wins if at least 2 objectives are removed or no defenders remain on the battlefield. Otherwise the defender wins.
