The mutants of Hive Secundus seek revenge over the imperial population, and a wave of terrorism soon begins. One night, as most males are either drunk or getting drunk, a commando uses the sewers to get to the suburbs and set fire to "The Eviscerated Mutant", a very popular bar in the suburbs – and, if possible, to a few houses and inhabitants. Victory conditions : the Mutants score 25pts for burning "The Eviscerated Mutant", 10pts for every other building they set fire to, and 2 points for every human they kill.
Deployment : the muties are deployed within 2" from the manhole and at least 13" from any building door. The imperial cops and citizens are placed on reserve. Special rules : The cops : roll a die at the beginning of turns 1 and 2. The alert is given on turn 1 on a result of 6 and on turn 2 on a result of 4+. If the alert isn't given on turn 1 or 2, the muties will activate undetected until the first shot is fired – the alert being then automatically given.
The "Eviscerated Mutant" patrons : they, and the bartender will come into play as soon as the muties enter the Bar. The civilians : once the alert is given, roll a die for every home around the Eviscerated Mutant. On a 4 or 5, an unarmed woman / kid / elderly gets out of the building. Roll a dice: on a 6, it will rush and attack the nearest mutant.
Setting up the forces : mutants purchase and activate their units normally.
Starting a fire : to set fire to a house, mutants carrying a flamer must be within 3" of its entrance and use its weapon. To set fire to the "Eviscerated Mutant", which is a much larger place, they must be within the building.
How it all happened The commando of evil mutants got out of the manhole unnoticed but reeking with sewer water. The immediately set out to the Eviscerated Mutant.
"Shit, it stinks!" Otto said.
As usual, there was a jolly atmosphere of benevolent childishness at the Eviscerated Mutant – until Otto and Walter went on fire.
Barman Earl took down one of the mutant with his shotgun and rushed to kick another one's ass out of his bar, but he received a bad wound from a rusty piece of metal that was visibly meant to be a sword. Iggy managed to stick a broken bottle of his favourite Grog into mutant leader Schmourgl's throat, while Little Kevin's heroic charge smashed the skulls of the remaining mutants into a bleeding pulp. Both bikers then escaped using the back door, fot it wouldn't be long before the militia arrived. With all the flamer carriers dead, the mutants' mission certainly was compromised.
Spiky's squad, after killing an innocent child who should have stayed home, welcomed the imperial patrol by killing one of its men.
The cops retaliated by killing 2 mutants, who decided, after another volley of unlucky shots, to engage the enemy in close combat.
The fight was obviously extremely violent, and with the death of Spiky in the melee, the rest of the mutants fled to the manhole,
The cops preferred to let the reinforcements deal with the mutants, but the second squad didn't manage to pick out the last two mutants. Final Score :
EDDI DIED (well, at least, he was supposed to) Still seeking revenge, the mutants sent one of their snipers, escorted by the brave fighters who had survived their previous operation,
From the sewers emerged once again a group of filthy mutants ; in order not to alert anybody, they decided to attack the two civilians who were near the manhole in close combat. One of the mutants quickly killed the first man with his sword, but rather unexpectedly, the old man managed to break open the sniper's skull with his walking stick, which was sort of too bad for the mutants again.
The mutant freaks then decided to climb up the building from which they would get a clear line of sight to the stage on which Eddi was singing "Don't Be Cruel".
"Bang-Bang !"
The game was considered a draw.
It Came From The Sewers (again) A group of Skaviets, the tunnel rats of Negromundheim attempts to rob the cargo of an immobilized convoy – weapons and explosives, mainly.
More guards arrived as the alert was given by a surviving sentry ; shots were fired and bodies fell on both sides.
The skaviets were forced back into the sewers, taking only one box of ammo with them.
The game was considered an imperial minor victory.
