Kill Team Dispositions

January 2020·pp. 14–19

THE SHORT VERSION

Five optional narrative dispositions give a kill team a shared fighting identity and access to three themed tactics each. Ferocious, Guerrilla, Headhunter, Dread and Covert teams specialise respectively in aggression, coordinated movement, assassination, terror and concealment; faction examples illustrate how to invent an appropriate background.

Bloodbath

A violent encounter rewards melee casualties, charges and penetration of the enemy deployment zone. Random blood frenzy can compel fighters to charge, and a dedicated tactic lets a player impose it deliberately, making restraint increasingly difficult.

Raid

An attacker tries to sabotage a single defended objective while both sides also earn points for incapacitating enemy fighters. Guerrilla teams naturally take the attacking role; the deployment arrangement and protection for distant raiders encourage a sharp strike rather than a static firefight.

Elimination

One defender becomes the Mark whom an attacking kill team must eliminate before time runs out. Defensive terrain, taking cover and a protective tactic help keep the target alive, while an attacker can use distraction to shield an operative until they have fired.
