Deployment
Take turns (starting with the winner of a roll-off) in each of the following steps:

- Place the friendly Rogue Doc & Hangers on a random battlefield edge. Then the other gang does the same on the opposite battlefield edge.
Note that the battlefield edge where the Rogue Doc and Hive Scum is placed counts as the gang’s edge for the purpose of XP rewards, ending and winning the battle.
The Aftermath
A brutal gang fight has taken place, and the battlefield is strewn with downed fighters.
All 5 random fighters from both teams begin:
- Seriously Injured (Recovery rolls are made as normal at the end of each round).
- Only 1 Wound remaining (if having more).
- All weapons counts as Out of Amo (can be reloaded as normal after recovering).
For this battle, all gangs (including all fighters) have the following effects:
- No Lasting Injuries if going Out of Action.
- No need to make Bottle tests.
