As often as not, warbands are forced to steal from each-other in order to survive in

the streets of Mordheim. Sometimes a warband takes days staking out another

warband, just to be able to steal their loot when they are away. Unfortunately, such

methods are often used by others as well. This is one of those times. It inevitably will

come to fighting as the warbands try to take the loot for themselves.

Terrain

Each player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, either a ruined building, tower,

or other similar item. We suggest that the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4’

x 4’ or 4’ x 6’ for multi-player games.

Setup

For one-on-one games, each player rolls a D6. Whoever rolls highest chooses which

table edge to set up on, placing all of his warriors within 8" of that edge. His

opponent then sets up within 8" of the opposite edge. In multi-player games players

use the normal set-up rules (see ‘Setting up the Warbands’ in the multi-player rules

from WD242).

Special Rules

The Loot : A chest is placed in the center of the board. The chest cannot be opened

while the game is in progress, as it has too many locks on it. It may be moved by a

model in base contact with the chest. A model moving the chest may not run, shoot

or cast spells, and has –1 WS. Alternatively, two models may carry the chest,

allowing them to run, but still having the other restrictions.

Starting the Game

Each player rolls a D6. The player rolling the highest has the first turn, and order of

play proceeds clockwise around the table (based on where players placed their

warbands) from there.

Ending the Game

The game ends when one warband manages to get the chest off the table. That

warband is the winner. If the chest is not brought off the table, there is no winner.

The warband owning the stash, returns and scares the other warbands off.

Experience

+1 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1

Experience.

+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 Experience for each enemy he puts

Out Of Action.

The Loot

After the battle, the chest is opened, and the following loot is pillaged by the

victorious warband. Note that you roll a D6 for each item separately, apart from

gold crowns, which are always received.

Designers Notes

Generally I like when players have a little more than just the usual amount of stuff

up their sleeve. It is so much more rewarding to run around with a captain tooled up

for everything (even though his price alone takes up the gold used for two additional

mercenaries). Additionally, opponents love to take out an over-tooled-up character.

Break-in was designed to be a more "normal" scenario with a little twist (getting hold

of the chest), and higher rewards.

Having a fixed point of battle (the chest), gives a lot more action in a multi-player

game. In one-on-one games, players who normally hang back and fires volleys of

crossbows, are hard-pressed to win (because if they wipe out the other player, they

cannot win). I have experienced players to rather wanting to play this scenario than

the normal "Skirmish/Street Brawl", as it has more of the feel and tactics of e.g. a

game of WH40k.

Notes on terrain – Well, chests are supplied with the splendid Mordheim boxed set. I

made one attaching an old skeleton shield to the top. Gives the thing a more gothic

look.
