communication problems

one of the many silent partners' melange processing plants is in a disused storage facility in a suburb of spanglish town. these plants are run by local operatives from low ranking street gangs owing fealty to the silent partners.
the st. thomas buffoonery have discovered, through means only known to themselves, that the facility contains a component vital to their most recent engineering project, and have come to requisition it. their timing is unfortunate as it coincides with an unannounced audit of the plant by a small team of core silent partners operatives.

Battlefield

the table is approximately 5’ x 7’.
the storage facility / processing plant is in the centre of the table surrounded by residential and commercial buildings. patches of vegetation and appropriate scatter terrain fill the rest of the table quite densely, breaking up lines of fire and providing cover.



Deployment

the buffoonery can set up within 6” of the middle of any table edge they choose. they start the game as a single group.

heisenberg is a separate unit to the rest of the silent partners. the guards form their own, single unit. all units must seek to form up once the game begins, but can then be split as usual.
both road wheelers are parked adjacent to the storage facility / processing plant.
viper joe, little mario, gazza and connie harris start the game inside the storage facility / processing plant.
the other silent partners inspectors (including heisenberg) set up within 2” of their road wheeler.
up to four guards can begin the game on the roof. the rest are located inside or within 4” of the storage facility / processing plant.

Special Rules

the storage facility has been converted to a single large internal space, so figures inside the building can exit by any door. there is internal access to the roof.

all buildings are T8, D3, and each side constitutes a section, most have internal access to their roofs. defending troops can fire out of windows; attacking troops in base contact can also fire in through a window. most doors are locked and are T6, D3.

wire fences are T3, D3.

barricades are T8, D10.

models may attempt to hot-wire other vehicles on the board; assume they have the profile of a city car but with whatever capacity seems appropriate to the model. in order to hot-wire the vehicle a figure must sit in the driver’s seat doing nothing else for 1 turn, at the start of the next turn they may make an Int test, and if successful drive the vehicle as normal. one test may be made in turn although a roll of double 6 will result in the vehicle being permanently immobilised.
