This was the player's brief:
Welcome to Bruboxville, a small industrial town on the north
east coast of Acre. Its main claim to
fame is being the most easterly town with a rail link. Its port is modest and not really part of the
war effort. It smells of diesel and fish.
Please try to imagine this, you don’t need to bring items that smell of
diesel or fish to try to recreate genuine ambience; it’s enough to know that
the minis can smell it.
The main reason for Bruboxville being of any interest to
anyone at all is that it had, until a few hours ago, one of the main
communications hubs linking 72AG to the war effort taking place on Benq over
the ocean. However, an accident has
occurred and the station has shut down and gone off line.
Whilst the Ad Mech and Imperial Guard scramble to fix the
problem, some of the comms servitors have just wandered off through the war
damaged ruins of the downtown areas.
These comms servitors could have codes allowing access to 72AGs network,
or data about supply contracts that would useful now and probably in the future
as the economy is rebuilt after the war.
Possession of one of these comms servitors would be a definite boon to
anyone who had one.
At the very least, possession of one should be denied to any
rivals.

Shotgun, vox caster, independent character.
At the beginning of the game the comms servitors are
controlled by the GM. Servitors will
shoot at the closest threat until such time as they are captured and the
weapons can be deactivated. To capture a
servitor, simply move into base to base contact. The servitor will stay in base to contact with
any other model that the controlling player moves into base to base
contact. If the controlling player
moves all of his figures out of base to base contact with a servitor, its
weapons system will re-arm and it will go back to being moved by the GM.
Servitors can be targeted or avoided at the discretion of
the attacking player.
You do not have let other players know what your victory
conditions are. Unless your ‘army list’
tells you to for some reason. The game
will last six turns.
You may ally with other players if you wish, but keep it
fluffy. Bear in mind that any alliance
is going to fall apart at some point – probably tied to victory conditions.
This game was never intended to be balanced. The actual Necromuda style gangs are tweaked
for some vague degree of parity, but if you meet a dreadnaught, run away. Some gangs will need to gang up with others
just to stay in the game.
Do not be dismayed if your initial gang gets wiped out; this
is to be expected in such interesting times.
There are replacement gangs drawn to the east side by all the
commotion.
A pink prawn is generally held to be a Slanneshi symbol.
If you defeat an opponent in HTH, you can elect to capture
them, rather than leave them bleeding in the gutter. Captured individuals behave like a captured
servitor except that, if the release conditions are fulfilled, they return to
the control of their owning player. They
are considered to be unarmed for the remainder of that turn.
Deployment:
You will be given a counter on the board edge which is your
gang’s entry point, either on foot or mounted, your gang, deployed, must be in
base to base contact with the counter.
(so they could be in a blob or strung out in a line).
Unless, of course, your ‘army list’ tells you otherwise.
