MOVE!During his side's urn a fightercan move up to 4" andthenshoot his weapon.Let's allowour Orlock o do justthis. Move the model directly towards the Goliath,measuring " using he range ruler.

FIRE!After the Orlock has moved he can shoot his lasgunatthe Goliath.The first hing o do is check he range.Thelasgunhas a rangeot 24" and he target must ie withinthis distance before a hit can be scored. The rulerreveals he modelsare 8" apaft which s well within helasgun's ange.To see whether he Orlock'sshot hits the Goliath oll adice. The Orlock requiresa score of 3 to hit his target.Rol l the dice. f the score s 1-2 he shot misses, f thescore s 3-6 the shot hits.

HIT!Let'sassume he Orlockscoresa hit on the Goliath.Thefirst hing o do is knock he Goliathon its back so that itlies ace up where he shot has hurled he model o theflgor.Next we mustdiscover ts effect has the lasblaststruck and wounded the Goliath or has it merelyscratchedhim or bouncedoff a pieceof equipment?Tofindout rollanother ice.The Orlock needs a score of 4 or more to wound theGoliath.f the dice oll s 1-3 he Goliath as hada luckyescape, f the score s 4-6 the blasthas injuredhim.

INJURIESWe'll assume the Orlock has been lucky and that theGoliath s woundedby the lasblast.Next we find out out how badly njured he Goliath s. Todo this we rollanotherdice. f the score s a 1 the Goliathhas suffereda flesh wound. lf the score s 2-5 he hasgonedown. lf the score s a 6 he is out of action. Thesethreedifferent esultsal l havedifferenteffects.

As we don't want to kill off our Goliath ust yet let'sassume he has suffereda flesh wound.The Goliath sstill knockedover on the groundbut is basicallyOK.

GOLIATHURNONEBecause the Goliath starts of f lying face up on thegroundhe mustspend his entire urn getting o his feet.He can'tmoveand he can't shoot.Modelsknockedoverin this way are described as 'pinned' by enemyshooting.Stand the Goliath back up. His turn is nowover.

Move he model right nextto the Orlock. HAND.TO.HANDThe two combatants re nowsaid o be fightinghand-to-hand. Once engaged in hand-to-handcombat in thisway neither ightercan shoot or move until one or theother is taken out of action or tries to run away. Everyturn, ncludinghe otherplayer'surn,a roundof hand-to-handcombat s fought.To work out what happens nhand-to-hand ombatproceedas follows.

Both models roll a dice and add 3 to the score.Depending n he ighter loweror higher umbermightbe added but 3 happens o be the appropriate alue fora newly recruitedgangfighterso we'll use this for now.However, he Goliath has a weapon in each hand, adistinct advantage n close quarter fighting,so he isallowed o roll 2 dice and choose he best score of thetwo rolls. He rolls a 2 and a 5 so the Goliath willobviouslyuse the 5. The Orlock rollsa 2. Adding 3 weend up with Orlock5 vs Goliath8.Because he Goliath has scored highest he wins thehand-to-hand ombat round. The difference n scoresequalshe number f imeshe hashit he Orlock whichi s 8 - 5 = 3 t i m e s .

NECROMUNDAGET STARTEDHITSANDWOUNDS

These3 hitsareworkedout in the sameway as hitsfrom shootingexcept hat handto-hand ightersarenever nocked ff heir eetby a hit.Leave othmodelsstanding nd roll3 dice.Anydice hatscore4 or morehavewoundedheOrlock. et's magine e roll3, 5 and6 whichequals wounds.INJURIES

Because he Orlockhas suffered2 wounds he must rollfor two injuries. This is exactly like wounds inflicted byshootingand is resolved n the same way. Roll a dice oreach injury:a score of 1 is a flesh wound,2-5 is down,and 6 is out of action. However,any lone fighter whogoes down in hand-to-handcombat is automaticallytaken out of action,so in this case any rolls of 2-6 willtake the Orlock out of the game. lf we roll the dice ascore a 1 and a 2 the Orlockgoesdown and his enemyimmediately pounces and takes him out of action.Remove he Orlock model.

WEAPONS,ROFIIESANDMODIFIERSThe exampleused above s simplistic ecausewe usedone modela side playingover a flat surface. n practicea gang consistsof more igh ters,usuallyabout en, andthey meetover a multi-level urfacewhere hey can hideamongst he ruins, ake cover,and shelter rom enemyfirebehinddebris.Thiscan make ightersharderor evenimpossible o hit, so that antagonistsmust constantly ryto manoeuvre oundeach other o gain the upperhand.However, the basic principles of turns, movement,shootingand hand-to-hand ombatare as described.In the gamepropereach modelhas ts own profilewhichdefineshow fast a fightermoves, how accura tea sholhe is, how good a hand-to-hand ighter he is, howdifficull o wound he is, and so on. In our example weassumed he two models had average capabilitieswithnoneof the specialabilitiesdescribed n the game.Thisis fair enoughas this is how all gangfightersstart out.There are also many more weapons or the fighters ouse. Some have longer ranges, others are morepowerful,whilst a few have wholly differenteffects asdescribed n the Armoury section of the Rulebook. naddition there are special items of equipment whichimprovea fighter'schanceof survival, ncludingarmourwhich gives fighters a chance of avoiding or 'saving'wounds altogether.
