The .50 machine gun and minigun need to be mounted on a tripod, which comes with the gun. The
defending player may have his guns set-up at the start of the game. These weapons take 5 turns to
set up and 3 turns to take down.
The minigun has a 2” burst template, any figures under template are a potential target and must be
rolled as normal.

Flame thrower rules

Use WH40K flame template. Any figs totally under template take 1 automatic wound + chance of burning.
Figs partially under template take 1 automatic wound.
Armour saves count as normal.

Chance of burning

Roll 1D6. 1-3 figure starts to burn

4-6 no fire
Burning figures take 1 extra wound.

Burning figures can do nothing apart from attempt to put out flames at the end of the next turn.
Roll 1D6 1-3 Still burning
4-6 Flames out (No extra wounds)
+1 to this roll per extra figure helping douse the flames.

Shooting the Flamer

If the flame thrower carrier is hit in the chest roll 1D6.

1-3 Normal hit (Armour as normal)
4-6 Flamer hit (No Armour save)

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 1

If the flame thrower takes the hit the following takes place.
Light wound = No effect
2nd Light wound or any other result = Explosion.

Explosion
Flame thrower figure takes 2 hits + 2 chances of burning
Use WH40K small template and apply as before.

Burning objects
To burn an object (Building/car etc)
Use template as normal. If it catches fire it will burn down. If not try again next turn +1 to the chance of
burning.

Fully Automatic Fire at multiple targets

All fully automatic weapons have a burst radius of 1 ½” unless specified.

A player may fire at 1 figure or all figures in the burst radius. All figures in the burst radius must be
allocated 1 Dice each before multiple dice are assigned.
Automatic fire must be targeted at a figure.

Suppressive Fire

Single and semi automatic weapons may suppress a 1” area.

Fully automatic weapons may suppress an area equivalent to there full auto burst area.
Any figures in the suppressed area must roll 1D10 and roll equal to or higher than the number of
shots fired into the area. If the roll is passed there is no effect. If the roll is failed then the figure
must move to the nearest cover and hide or hide if in cover and remain there for 1 turn.
On a roll of a 1 the test is always failed and the figure rolls for a save and wound as if it had just
been hit (this is the only way a figure may be hit by suppressive fire). On a roll of 10 the figure will
always pass the test. Hard Boiled and Soldier skills both give +1 to this roll.
If the figure is in the open there is a –1 modifier, in light cover no modifier and hard cover +1 to the
roll. Sniper rifles count as 2 shots in the area unless fired from a high elevation in which case the
count as 4 shots and may suppress a 1” area.

The basic to hit score is 6

+1 Med Range +1 Walking +4 Heavy Cover

+2 Long Range +3 Running +2 Light Cover
-1 Aim (-3 Max) +2 Serious Wound -1 at short range Laser Sight
+1 Target Prone +1 Sniper Rifle at Short +1 Snap Shot
+2 Through Smoke +1 Telescopic sight at long range
-1 Single Shot +4 at Specific Location +2 Firing 2 Light Pistols
+1 wearing Med/Hvy armour
+2 Firing 2 SMGS Machine/Hvy pistols

A hit is scored if a D10 roll is equal to or greater than the to hit number. For target numbers greater
than 10, a hit is scored on a 10 but the armour save for the target is increased by (target number –
10) ie a target number of 12 requires a 10 to hit and gives +2 to the targets armour save.

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 2

Overwatch

A figure may go onto overwatch; this will allow a figure to fire during the opponent’s movement
phase. A figure can only fire to his front1800. If using a telescopic scope this is reduced to the front
900. A figure can only go onto overwatch if they neither moved nor fired the previous turn. A figure
firing on overwatch cannot gain any bonuses for aiming and they suffer a –1 penalty for snap firing.

1 – Head, +1 to effect 1-2 Light Wound (no effect) x2 = Serious

2-6 – Body 3-4 Serious Wound (+2 Firing) x2 = Neutralised
7-8 – Arms, –1 to effect 5 Neutralised (Recover on 6, Go Out on 1) may crawl 2”
9-0 – Legs 6 Out of Action

If a die roll of 6 is scored on a leg or arm there is a chance that the limb is severed or mangled
beyond repair (odds left, evens right). 1D6 1-3 hit in knee elbow +1 to firing or –1” move. 4-6 limb
lost.

A figure with one leg can only move at half rate, cannot sprint and is –2 in Hand to Hand. A one
armed character cannot use two-handed weapons, if the character loses his right arm he is at a
further –2 to shooting, unless he is ambidextrous.

Light Armour = 6+ save

Medium Armour = 5-6 save, +1 to hit
Heavy Armour = 4-6 save, -1” movement, +1 to hit

Walk 3”
Run 6”
Sprint 9”, 2 turns only then walk to rest

A neutralised figure in HTH is automatically taken out of action (arrested by a cop). If no cops are
left standing at the end of the game all ‘arrested’ figures on the table are assumed to be freed.

All movement and firing is simultaneous

Chainsaw 50 5 2 H weapon, +1 in H to H, +1 to damage effect
Monomolecular blade X3 A knife or a sword may be purchased with a
monomolecular blade; this triples the cost of the weapon.
This will give the weapon a –1 armour save and +1 to
damage effect. Mono blades are not as strong as normal
and as such if a 1 is rolled in H to H combat the blade will
shatter on a d10 roll of 6+

If a character has a second Hand-to-Hand weapon he gains +1 to his result when fighting a round of
combat.
A second character attacking gives +1 in H-to-H, third gains +2 and a fourth gains +3. No more
than 4 characters can attack one person at a time.
The attacker decides which of his gangers will be the primary attacker; the defender can still choose
to injure any of the attackers if they win the fight.
Both players roll 1D10 and add any modifiers, the highest roll hits. Any armour saves are made and
damage rolled as usual.

ARMOUR HEAD BODY ARMS LEGS

Light 5 10 5 10
Medium 10 20 10 15
Heavy 15 30 15 20

Medium armour is 1ep if on more than 2 locations.

Heavy armour is always 1 ep.

A character can hold 8 Encumbrance Points worth of weapons. All extra ammo counts as ½ EP
Extra ammo for the Flame Thrower costs 2EP. Anyone carrying extra ammo for the Flame Thrower
suffers the same chance of blowing up when hit as if they where carrying the weapon itself.

Fortifications

Sand bags $25 for each 5cm wall up to waist high.

Mines cost $25 and have the same effect as a grenade. They must be set on a specific terrain feature
and may be command detonated from a building. Both the feature and building must be noted down
before the game starts.
Barbed wire costs $15 per 5cm and must be diced for to cross. It costs 5cm to cross a barbed wire
fence and anything but 1 must be rolled on a d6. The fence may be crossed for no penalty but a 5-6
must be rolled on the d6. If either roll is failed the figure becomes entangled and must roll a d6 each

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 4

following turn, if a 5-6 is roll the figure frees its self (roll randomly to determine which side of the
fence the figure emerges), on a 1-4 the figure is still entangled.
A figure may voluntarily become entangled to clear a path the following figures.

Enemy Gang

Each Gang will have one randomly determined enemy and each gang will be someone’s enemy.
Each gang leader will be informed as to whom their abhorrent antagonist is, but will not be
informed as to whom hates them.

When fighting your hated opponent, you will gain +1 in Hand to Hand combat and neutralise or
taken out results against the despised foe will result in 1 extra reputation point.

Needless to say, alliances cannot be made with your reviled adversary

When fighting your insufferable antagonist the Gangers will be keen to show their loathing of the
opposition, they will not stop to loot bodies or buildings and will not burn any buildings down if
there is one of the enemy to attack (again final decision lies with the referee).

Selling Skills

Certain skills have a marketable value, such as Street Deal and Lawyer. The services of gangers
with these skills may be sold to other gangs. You cannot sell skills to your detested rival

Maximum Number of Gangers per block.

There is no maximum to the number of gangers that you can have in a block, but only a limited
number of gangers can be involved in a fight.

Defence 4 gangers defending

Gang HQ will allow an extra 1 ganger
Gang leaders do not count towards the maximum number of gangers able to defend.
Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 7
Attack Max 6 Gangers
Gang leaders do not count towards the maximum number of gangers able to attack.

If your gang leader dies, a d6 roll is made for each business, on a roll of 1 that business closes down
no income is received. 2-6 no income is received this turn whilst a new leader is established.

Businesses can only be destroyed when all opposition has been neutralised
Then only one "building" per ganger left standing

Buildings may be looted as per original rules, only one attempt per ganger Per building. If a
business is successfully looted, not only is the income lost for this turn, but the income for next turn
must be spent on “repairing” the looted business. The income may be kept instead but then the
business subsequently closes down.

RECOVER OF ‘OUT OF ACTION’ GANGERS

1 Dead – keep weapon, lose armour

2 Miss next game, roll again with +1
3-4 Major recurring wound on worst hit location. 4-6 +1 to hit
1-3 -1 to HTH
5 Minor recurring wound on worst hit location
6 Full recovery

Minimum of 2 figures in unit. 4 figures give +1 to police interest, 8 figures +2, etc.

The first time a figure kills a cop he earns 2 reputation points. Subsequent to the first time it a
character gains 1 reputation point for killing/neutralising a cop you earn 1 point for killing an
enemy figure.

A figure with 4 or more reputation points attracts +1 to police interest.

An arrested figure needs to roll equal to or greater than the number for the crime on a D6, minus
their reputation. Pass and he is release. Fail and he is imprisoned.

Illegal ownership/use of weapon 2+

Wounding 3+
Murder/wounding a cop 4+
Killing a cop 5+

Rolls for imprisonment are made during the spending phase of the following turn. Any ganger who
wishes to use bribery (see below) to affect this outcome must inform the games master when they
hand in their turn.

Bribery

It is possible to bribe a judge. Whenever a ganger is arrested and an imprisonment roll is made, the
roll may be modified by ± 1 per $500 spent. If the roll results in imprisonment due to bribery (1
always fails) the gang leader may appeal.
If the leader appeals, the arrested ganger remains in custody for 1d6 turns, then rolls again for
imprisonment at –1, no other modifications may be made. If this roll is successful then the ganger is

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 8

released, but the ganger will always suffer a –1 penalty to future imprisonment rolls. If the roll is
failed then the ganger is sent to jail.
Any ganger who is arrested and has to make an imprisonment role gains +1 rep

POLICE INTEREST

In any turn that there are gunshots a D6 is rolled and on a 6 - 1D3 police officers (min 2) turn up.
A further D6 per officer is rolled and on a 5-6 the cop is SWAT.
If an officer is neutralised or killed, police arrive on a 5-6.
Each officer is a random figure with authority skill, which means, when within 6” of a suspect may
roll a D6 and on a 6 the suspect may do nothing for 1 turn.
If 8 or more figures on the table, 2 police will automatically start on the table with a further +1 to
police rolls.
A roll is made every turn; these cops will be patrol cops NOT swat.
+1 may also be added to the police interest roll by paying $250 per +1 added. You must state the
turn and target gang of the extra interest.
All pluses count towards whether the figure is from swat as well as to police arriving.

Cops

There are 4 types of cops - Street cops - light armour and weapons.
Patrol cops - Medium armour and weapons.
SWAT - Heavy armour and medium weapons.
CSWAT - Heavy armour and weapons.

Street cops are the cops that will start on table if a game requires it, patrol and swat will enter on
police interest rolls and cswat will only enter if a cop is down or heavy weapons are being used
(Lmg’s, Saws, grenades (hand or launched) or rockets). On each successful police interest roll (well
the successful for me, it means I get to shoot stuff as well), I will roll randomly to see which type of
cop turns up. The chances for the cops are
1-2 Street
3-6 Patrol
7-8 SWAT
9-10 CSWAT (if requirements are met, other wise 9 Patrol, 10 SWAT)

Night Fighting

A gang may wish to invade a territory under cover of darkness. To represent this at the start of the
battle 2d6 are rolled. This will determine the visual range for the battle, how many street lights are
working, how bright the moon is etc

EXPERIENCE

1 point for surviving

1 point for neutralised
2 points for Out Of Action
1 point for doing something funny/heroic – at opponents’ discretion.
+1D3 for each turn and $150 spent at the Guns r Us training facility in block 17.

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 9

10 points for a skill
10 to get –1 to hit, 20 for –2 to hit, etc
10 to get +1 to HTH, 20 for +2 to HTH, etc

If units from 2 opposing gangs end their movement in the same square their actions depend on their
orders. The orders are: -
Aggressive - see enemy start shooting
Neutral - watch, no offensive action
Flee - if attacked run away. 1D6 1 = stay and fight, 2-6 = escape to last square.

If both orders are aggressive a fight ensues

If both orders are neutral nothing happens
If both orders are flee both move to their last square
If one aggressive and other neutral a fight ensues
If one aggressive and other flee roll 1D6 – on 1 a fight ensues, on 2-6 flee escapes to last square
If one neutral and other flee – flee moves to last square

If 2 enemy units pass through the same square at the same time they will NOT fight
They are assumed to be travelling by train, car or subway.

If a unit passes through an enemy square, they will NOT know/report it because they are assumed to
be travelling by train, car or subway

Blood Donor

Once per turn any gang member may go to Crazy Nikita's and give blood. They will receive $50
for doing this, but will have to have a nice lie down at Crazy Nikita's next turn to get some of those
red cells back again. (I.E. Lose next turn)

Max 4 donations per turn at Crazy Nikita's. Any extra donors will be turned away. Dice off for first
come first served. Donations from Hookers will not be accepted.
Roll 2D6

2 Sorry mate forgot you were in here. Gang member drained! Out of action for 3 turns.

never donate again.
5-10 Thanks for the pint, do call again
11-12 We're crying out for this blood type. Extra $50 payment to gang member.

Chop Shop

A Chop Shop is where you take stolen cars and re-spray, change plates, break up for spare parts etc
the stolen cars.

It costs $300 and 2 turns to set up.

The Chop Shop on it’s own does not make any money, but it will increase the amount earned on
stolen cars to:

Car 1d6*20
Luxury/Sports Car 2d6*20

A Chop Shop can only deal with 2 Cars a turn.

For every turn that the Chop Shop has a car in there roll on the following table

2 The car has a tracker in it 2d6 patrol cops and 1d6 SWAT turn up, Gangers must fight
or flee the table. Chop Shop is destroyed
3-4 Police Observation. Chop Shop shut down for the week –1 on next roll
5-12 Work continues as normal

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 11

Grand Theft Auto

This is the act of stealing cars and selling them on to a chop shop.
A minimum of 2 gangers must go into a block within 2 blocks of their starting point and steal a car
(you don’t steal from your own). They then drive the vehicle back to their block, strip it down and
sell it off for parts.

When your Gangers enter a block you must roll 2d6 on the following table

2 Gangers caught in a police sting, both arrested. Miss next turn in jail then released on
$150 bail each. If second arrest then they go to court, jailed on a 4+
3-5 Spotted by 1-3 police/*4-6 opposing Gang. Fight battle as normal. Roll for Police
interest if Gang fight. Roll for Gang interest if Police start fight.
6-11 Steal Car
12 Steal luxury/ sports car

*If you are stealing a car in a block controlled by another gang then it is possible that you will be
spotted by one of the Gang members, if so the opposing Gang player can choose to attack you with
what forces he has available in the block, call the police or do nothing.

If the Police try to arrest (roll of 3-5 on table) then 1d3+1 police will arrive (+2 if adjacent to the
police station 1d3+3 no SWAT to start with) the Gangers then roll for police interest as normal but
substitute police for available Gangers from opposing Gang.

A successful theft will earn 1d6*$10.

A Luxury/Sports Car will earn 2d6*$10.

For every team over the first gives –1 to the die roll. Driver skill gives +1 to the roll for that team
(natural 2 will still count)

Church

God hates sinners, particularly those who shoot the people who build him a church.
Any ganger wounded or killed has a 5% chance of a miraculous recovery; each $100 gets 5% (not
more than $500 on set-up). Takes up one slot in a block.

This business may be replicated using a Ripper Doc (an illegal Doctor) for those who are not
religious.

Drinking Den

Standard bar that sells intoxicating substances. Will generate 2D6 x $10 income per turn.

Flop House

Lower class hotel, cash paid no questions asked. Will generate 1D6 x$10 income per turn, but less
obvious, gives –1 to chance of being looted by enemy gangs.

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 12

Gambling Den

Standard games of chance that favour the house, cards, dice, roulette etc as well as sports events.
Will generate 2D6 x$20 per turn but there is a chance that things will go wrong. If the income roll
comes up with 2 or 12 then the gang loses the corresponding amount instead of income (loses $40
on a 2 and $240 on a 12).

Gang Headquarters.

$1000 and 5 turns to set up. Can reduce the set up time by expending $500 per turn to a minimum
set up time of 2 turns.

Takes 2 Business “slots”

When the map is set up for a fight the HQ must be 2 buildings placed together (to make one big
building) therefore no roll is required to find it (it’s obvious which one it is)

Building counts as being fortified, all entries are locked. Entry can only be made with a key, all
defending Gangers carry a key, and downed defenders may be looted for a key. Otherwise entry
may be gained through explosive entry (all windows are bullet proof) or by spending 1d6 turns
breaking in.

Your Gang Leader must be located at the HQ for it to operate. Also your leader will insist that any
unspent money and equipment (not at Crazy Nikita’s) will be kept safe in the HQ. If an enemy
ganger spends 2 turns unopposed in the HQ they will be able to choose to loot the money or
equipment, no roll is necessary. They cannot take both although a second attacker may loot as well

The HQ allows your leader to launder money in any adjacent block (still only one block per turn)
without them having to be in that block. Therefore should the police arrest someone it will not be
the leader (unless you are laundering money in the HQ block).

The HQ will also increase the income of every business in all 9 surrounding blocks by 10%.
Unfortunately the increase in administration and efficiency comes with a draw back, it will also
increase the losses caused by a gambling den or a Night Club by 10% as well.

A Garage may be added to the HQ, providing off-road, secure parking for up to 4 gang vehicles
(buses and vans count as 2, bikes/scooters count as ½). This costs an extra $300 and adds 1 turn to
the set-up time.

Lap Dancing Club

From a dark and dingy, smoke filled room where young ladies will remove their clothing for your
entertainment, to brightly lit up market establishments catering for the more well to do gentleman.
The club will generate 3D6 x$10 per turn

3 Fire at the club. No income this turn, no more club or attached booths. May be
rebuilt on the same site
4 Girls go on strike for better wages. No income this turn and -$10 on future income

You may build a private booth on to the Lap Dancing Club (see Private Booth in expansion
businesses)

Money Laundering

A new money making opportunity in Night City.

Money Laundering is the process of taking illegally gained money and making it appear legitimate
income.

Any gang who has a business running may launder money for the Mob (or the Yakuza, Triad, Tong,
IRA,…etc)

Initial set up is 1 turn and $500, there are no business premises to build and as such does not count
towards the number of businesses you may have in a square, the set up only needs to be done once
per gang leader. I.e. if your leader subsequently dies or is imprisoned you have to go through the set
up again. The set up is for working your way into the mobs confidence and proving that you are not
“small time” and can handle it.

Any turn that you wish to launder money you must roll against the following table for the Mob
response.

2-3 Mob not happy with you, no money laundering this turn and one randomly
determined business is trashed (may be set up again at –1 turn to minimum of
1)
4-10 Business as usual, laundering may go ahead
11-12 Mob likes you, may launder money as usual. One randomly determined
business earns 50% extra this week due to mob patronage

Gang leader controls the laundering, and may only do it in one block.
Every business in the block that is running may launder money. For each business role 2d6 on the
following table.

2 One randomly determined ganger in that square is arrested. 3+ required to

escape charges
3-5 Police interest, no money laundering allowed at that business this week
6+ Launder as usual

Money laundering increases profits in a business by 1D6*10 or decreases loses by 1D6*10

Night Clubs

$350 and 2 turns to set up.

$2D6*20 income and roll on following table.
+/-0 to find

2 - Police Raid, No income this turn.

3-4 - Mass Brawl, -$1D6*20 in repairs
5-9 - Normal Night
10-11 - Packed House +$1D6*10
Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 14
12 - Packed House, Rave next week +$1D6*10 and +1 to this roll next turn.

For $50 you may advertise and get an extra +$1D6*20 that turn. This also adds +1 to search roll.

3 police raids and club is shut down.

Protection Racket

The most basic method for making money available to the gangers, they simply go round to various
businesses in the block and demand money. Income generated from this is equal to $10 per business
slot available that is not being developed.

Sex Shop

Standard shop selling all sorts of “under the counter” marital aids for the discerning connoisseur.
Sex Shops may be expanded with Video Booths for customers to “try out” some of the merchandise
(See Video Booths in expansion Businesses). Income generated from a Sex Shop is 2D6 x$10.

2 That may be acceptable in Wales but not here! Shop closed down (along with Video
Booth if attached) Cannot rebuild due to local opposition
3 Dodgy stock, no income generated this turn
4-10 Normal Income
11 Hen party show up +$50 in battery sales
12 There you go your Honour, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Normal income and +/-2 to any
police roll or imprisonment roll

Shopping Malls

A shopping mall takes up 1 full block and contains 6 legal businesses.

It takes 3 turns to set up a shopping mall and costs $1000

The businesses are: - Apollo Coffee $2D6*15 @

McRatties Fast Food $2D6*15 @
Cavalier Army Surplus $2D6*15 @
Cerberus Motors $2D6*20 %
Isandwana Records $2D6*20 %
Spark’s Electrical $2D6*15 @
Gabriel Security $2D6*15 @
Medtech Informants $2D6*15 @
Dallas Import\Export $2D6*20 %
Seraphim Investigations $2D6*20 %
Donut Shop $1D6*10 %

@ = On a roll of 2-4 company closes down and must spend next turn planning grand reopening.
% = On a roll of 2-4 company settles old score. That business and 1 other random business must lay
low next turn and will generate no income next turn.

Donut Shops produce less income than most other businesses due to the police presence they seem
to draw. At the beginning of a fight 1D3 random cops will be in the Donut Shop.

Shopping Malls generate legal income and as such must pay the IRS. 20% of the income generated
must be paid out in tax. If this is done then there are no penalties; you may however elect to retain

Gangwars MK5 16/10/2003 15

some or all of the tax. If you elect to retain some of the tax then you must roll 2d6, on a roll of 2
you have been caught. For every 5% (done only in 5% increments) you retain there is a –1 penalty
to the die roll, for each lawyer running the shopping mall in the block may work on tax evasion and
as such will give a +1 bonus. A roll of 2 is always a failure. If a ganger running the shopping mall is
arrested they are required to attend court and are incarcerated on a 1-3 on a d6. Any lawyer
involved with tax evasion may not modify the court roll.

As Shopping Malls are legal businesses gangers assigned to guard the Mall may have the
appearance of being legitimate. i.e. wear security guard uniforms, if they are limited to pistols,
shotguns, tasers and night sticks then the police will not attempt to arrest them unless given
provocation. Security Guards are allowed to use lethal force to defend life or property within
moderation, e.g. 3 “security guards” clubbing a downed ganger will be cause for arrest. Final
decision lies with the referee.

Shopping malls are legal businesses and as such are advertised. All players will know when and
where shopping mall are opened, but will not know the owner of the mall. To discover the owner of
the mall a successful search roll must be made in the mall.
Two street cops are always present at a shopping mall.

Weapon Smith

Where do you go when your gun breaks, or you need that laser sight fitting. The weapon smith
cannot only sell his skills generating 2D6 x$10 income but may also customise weapons. If the
Weapon Smith is customising a gun no income is gained that turn. The Weapon Smith may
customise up to 2 guns per turn, the customised gun will only work for the ganger it was designed
for and in their hands will give +1 to hit. A gun may only be customised for a maximum of +1.

Expansion Businesses

Expansion Businesses, are businesses that are built “on to” existing businesses. Only one expansion
business may be built per city block. If you have a Brothel attached to a Drinking Den then you may
not build Private Booths, Video Booths or a Video Arcade in that city block at all, unless the
Brothel is closed down first.

Brothel

Ladies of negotiable virtue ply their trade. Brothels are attached to drinking dens. Only one brothel
may be attached to any one drinking den. Brothels generate 2D6 x$10 per turn.

$200 will be added to the outstanding balance. (interest is added at the end of
the income phase).
Minimum payment is 5% of the original per turn.
Non payment means that Crazy Nikita may use any means fair or foul to
recover her money.

Mugging

A gang may send up to 3 gangers to the park to do some mugging. Each ganger rolls earns
$1D6*10. If 2 or more 1’s are roll when determining this amount then the gangers have been
arrested and must make a court roll of 3+. No alliances count when in the park, so if 2 or more
gangs meet they will fight regardless of orders. The last gang standing will only make rolls to mug
people.

For $150 a mercenary may be hired for 1 turn.

You may never have more mercenaries in the target block than the number of your own figures.
