Battle for the Dome

April 2005·pp. 72–73

THE SHORT VERSION

Four gangs deploy into the corners of a densely built battlefield and fight until three have bottled out. Vents and tunnels cannot bypass the opening positions, experience still rewards surviving fighters, and the winner claims rare trade; an accompanying multiplayer adjustment resolves a melee only during turns belonging to fighters actually involved in it.

Warhammer 40,000 and Its Spin-offs

Rogue Trader’s detailed individual-scale game gives way to army-level battles as the retrospective compares successive formats and starter sets. Epic and Space Hulk broaden the setting through very different scales of conflict, with the latter’s Terminators and Genestealers helping establish imagery and background that feed back into the main game.
