*****DISCLAIMER*****
I do not own any of the rules or IP for the Iron Kingdoms, it is the sole property of Privateer Press.
Names and places, Steam Jacks, Five Fingers, Ord, and anything else in here is pretty much borrowed
from them. This is a fan-made game using their universe and most of their rules. At any time, this project
may be canceled if they so asked me to do so. I am not making any money off of this, it is just for fun and
for the rest of those that want to play it. If you have paid to play this game, get your money back.

Gangs of Five Fingers
The Rules
The Gangs of Five Fingers is about a small group of down and out members of the Iron
Kingdoms that have taken their future into their own hands, by joining one of the many
gangs in Five Fingers, Ord’s premier town of gambling, freedom and piracy.
Gangs of Five Fingers is designed to be played as a campaign-style series of games but
can be played as one-off games, using the same rules either way. The basic rules are
provided here, with the campaign specific rules following later.
Because Gangs of Five Fingers mostly uses the rules from the Warmachine MK II Prime
rulebook, and I don’t want to be hunted down by several years worth of steam powered
necromantic badness for violating copyright law, the main play rules will not be included.
I will however explain the changes and additions, with provided page numbers for
clarification.
PAGE 5: This page is always important and relevant to the game, read it and keep it in
mind.
PAGE 27: WHAT YOU NEED: There are no stat cards for Gangs of Five Fingers, but you
will need to print off a Gang Charter in order to keep track of your Gang members’
progress as well as their victories and their injuries. Probably should also have a pencil,
or put it in a page sleeve and use a dry erase marker, whatever works for you (don’t
suggest a stone and chisel though, too hard to correct mistakes).
PAGE 31-32: MODELS-THE DOGS OF WAR: Ignore the whole thing about Warcasters,
for the purpose of this game, they do not exist.
WARJACKS: Warjacks don’t exist here either. Steamjacks however do.
Steamjacks are the less-battle oriented little brothers of Warjacks. Don’t be fooled
though, it’s hard to fight a 6-ton metal monster, whether it lifts crates or carries a sword.
Steamjacks are not controlled telepathically, they are controlled by mundane mortals by
SCREAMING, SHOUTING and GESTURES (depending on your Gang, occasionally rude
ones). They may not have the flash of a Warjack, but they will still treat the other Gang
like a small yapping dog (and punt them down the street).
UNITS: Go ahead and ignore units and all of their rules too. In Gangs of Five
Fingers, all models can act independently, they are not part of units. Basically, treat them
all as Solos. There are no Troopers, Grunts, Unit Commanders, Leaders or Officers and
there are no Attachments.
PAGE 33-36: ADVANTAGES: Advantages in Gangs of Five Fingers are called Skills. For
the most part, they are the same as they are in WARMACHINE, but there are some that
are a little different due to the scale of the game. Check the Skills section of these rules
to see any changes (the Skills section is in the Post Game section), which take precedent
over the original rules. This holds true for everything up until the section titled Special
Rules.
PAGE 36: FEATS: Warcasters don’t exist in this game, so neither do their Feats.
4 | Page
PAGE 38-41: PREPARING FOR WAR: Ignore this whole section, read the Gang
Creation section for how to build up your list for the game.
PAGE 42: MAINTENANCE PHASE: Once again, ignore all mentions of the word FOCUS,
the same goes for the CONTROL PHASE. In place of the #1 under MAINTENANCE
PHASE, have the following:
Roll 1d6 for each model that is on its back, and compare to the RECOVERY CHART:
1-2 Recover: Forfeit move or action and stand up
3-4 Nothing: Model remains on its back, roll again next turn.
5-6 Remove from play: the model no longer takes part in the game must roll on the
damage Chart (See post game section).
If a model has stood up from losing its last wound, all of its stats (other than ARM) are at -2 until it
is healed or the game ends. If they model is up, it does not have to roll on the Damage Chart. If
the model is still on its back, then it rolls on the Damage Chart.
Other than that, all the rules for the Turn Sequence are the same. How a model ends
up on its back will be talked about with the DAMAGE Section (or PAGE 66 in the MKII
rulebook)
PAGE 66: DAMAGE: When a model is BOXED in Gangs of Five Fingers, it is not
immediately destroyed, it becomes DISABLED. Place the model on its back (or use a
token if you don’t want to lay your models on their backs). During the MAINTENANCE
PHASE, roll on the RECOVERY CHART.
If the model is BOXED while it is DISABLED, then the BOXED model is immediately
removed from play. This only applies if it is DISABLED, not knocked down as an effect
from an attack or from other effects.
PAGE 67: WARCASTER DESTRUCTION: If I need to tell you this now, then you will
never learn…
PAGE 68: REACTIVATING WARJACKS: No models will ever have the Battlegroup
Commander special ability and there are only Jack Marshals, so there will never be a
need to reactivate a Steamjack. Normal games will not have the need to reactivate
Steamjacks. In the Jackwerks Scenario, the rules will be provided.
PAGE 70: ANATOMY OF A UNIT: Ignore all of these rules, there are no units in Gangs of
Five Fingers.
PAGE 73: WARJACKS: All of the “FOCUS:” should be removed. They can however, be
used by using the JACK MARSHAL Advantage/Skill.
PAGE 74-79: WARCASTERS AND FOCUS: …Neither of these exist in this game…
PAGE 80: The rules for JACK MARSHALS in units are not used for this game. There are
no units, and the JACK MARSHALS Advantage does not get passed on.
PAGE 81-83: Everything but MAGIC ABILITY rules are not used in this game in any form,
some for varying reasons already mentioned.
5 | Page
PAGE 85: add this rule to Command Checks; ROUTE TEST: whenever a gang has 30%
or more of its gang (in approximate points) has been removed from the game or is down
(on its back, not from a Knockdown effect), then a CMD check must be taken with the
model with the highest CMD. If the test is failed, all friendly models must flee to their
starting board edge and the game is over. If they pass, then they may continue to fight.
If they pass, they must take another CMD test at the beginning of each turn that they
have lost another model, or they may voluntarily choose to fail their test and end the
game.
PAGE: 86-89: Use these rules for terrain other than setup. Each individual scenario will
have its own type of requested terrain, but in the case of one-off games, you can use
whatever you feel like.
NOTE: Just a general note of advice. I would suggest reading though most of the Iron
Kingdoms book Five Fingers: Port of Deceit. It will give you a lot of background
information on the city of Five Fingers, as well as plenty of ideas on building up your own
gang.
Now that we have butchered the Warmachine rules that we all know and love, we will get
into the rules that are specific to the Gangs of Five Fingers…

Recruiting your Gang

This section of the rules shows you how to build your Gang.
You have 1000 Coins to spend on recruiting and equipping all the thugs and low-life criminals that
you want. As you purchase models and equipment, make sure to keep track of how much you
have left to spend.
In the case of one-off games, you can decide to use more Coins for your Gang or even if you
want to have a larger, more violent campaign you can do that too.
When playing a campaign, you can keep any unspent Coins to be used at a later date, such as
saving up to get your steamjack a better cortex.
All Gangs have somewhat different rules when it comes to what options they can take, but there
are some things that are universal, no matter what the Gang is. The first thing to consider when
creating a Gang is what type of Gang you want to run. There are Gangs that specialize in Knives,
or those that specialize in muscle. Some Gangs are differentiated by what race is allowed into
their group, like Gobber Rigging Gangs. The easiest way to build your gang is to pick one of the
following before moving on to the next section of the rules.
Each Gang will be displayed in the following format:
[Gang Name]
Location: This is the Island that the Gang is located on (which is important in Mapped
Campaign play).
Rackets: This will tell you what type of illicit activity your Gang specializes in (this is also
important in Campaign play) Whenever your Gang partakes in this activity, they
gain bonus income (see the Income section of course). If you are not playing a
Campaign, then this is just some side information.
Racket Types

removed from the game or is down, then in the Income step of the Post Game, gain
XPxd6 Coins.

Gang Model Types

Now that you have chosen what type of Gang you want to lead, you need to understand the
basics of the gang structure. There are 4 main different types of models that make up the Gang.
Some of them cost a bit more than a standard model and any increased cost will be noted by the
model. The model types are Leaders, Gangers, Specialists and Steam Jacks. The different
types will be presented with a description, cost (if any) and their benefits.
Note: when you are building you Gang, you must have at least 5 non-Steam Jack models in your
gang.
Leader (+20 Coins): The leader is the head honcho of the Gang. He is the most important
model in your Gang. This model has the Leader Skill, +1 CMD, +1 MAT or RAT and +5 Health.
The Leader also starts with 15 XP. The Leader also plays an important role in the Post Game
phase of the game, which will be described in that section. The Leader has access to the
Leadership Skill set and any 3 Skill sets. A Leader may take any Specialists upgrades, but it
counts towards the maximum 3. Add the XP to the Leader’s starting XP.
Gangers (+0 Coins): A ganger is a basic run of the mill gang member. Gangers have access to
any 3 Skill sets.
Specialists (by specialty): Specialists have rare skills that set them apart from the rest of their
Gang brothers. Each Gang can take up to 3 specialists, which are determined by their Gang List.
• Jack Marshal (+10 Coins): A Ganger with the Jack Marshal specialty is the minder of the
Gang’s Steamjack. The Jack Marshal starts with the Jack Marshal Skill and starts with 4
XP. The Jack Marshal has access to the Jack Marshal Skill set and any 2 Skill sets.
• Mechanic (+10 Coins): A Ganger with the Mechanic specialty is tasked with keeping the
Gang’s mechanika in working order. They are desirable in gangs that make use of
Steamjacks, but not all such Gangs have the head for learning such things. The
Mechanic has the Repair [6] Skill and starts with 4 XP. The Mechanic has access to the
Mechanic Skill set and any 2 Skill sets.
• Doctor (+10 Coins): While not a Doctor as such, this Ganger has the basic knowledge to
patch his brethren back together. The Doctor has the Heal Skill and starts with 4 XP. The
Doctor has the Heal Skill and access to any 2 Skill sets. Heal [6] Target friendly model in
B2B contact with this model regains d6 health. If the model is DISABLED, the model is no
longer DISABLED and does not suffer the -2 Stat penalty for recovering. A model that
recovers from being DISABLED will still be Knocked Down.
• Spell Caster (+10 Coins): Spell Casters are usually pretty rare among Gangs, but those
Gangs that can attract a Spell Caster will do whatever they can to hold on to this asset.
The Spell Caster has the Magic Ability [6] with access to a single spell and starts with 4
XP. The Spell Caster has access to the Spell Caster Skill Set and any 1 skill set. For
one-off games, the Spells are in the Skills Section.
Steamjacks (see below): Steamjacks are models like the rest of the gang, but they are not
affected by Gang special rules unless the rule specifically states that it affects Steamjacks.
Steamjacks have the Special Rules as mentioned in the MKII Prime Rulebook. Steam Jacks
have special rules regarding repair that can be found in the Campaign section of the rules. Note:
The Jack Marshal ‘free focus’ can be used to Shake Effects.

Races
The other important part of a model, whether a Leader, Grunt or Specialist is their race. There
are several races living (and unliving) in Five Fingers that can join Gangs. The races a Gang can
take are listed in their Gang roster.
Race Points SPD MAT RAT STR DEF ARM CMD HP

Human 65 6 4 3 5 12 12 7 5
Humans are the generic baseline race, they have no special rules or abilities.

Rhulic 65 5 4 3 5 11 12 8 5
Rhulic models can purchase non-shield, non-buckler armor for 5 Coins less.
Rhulic models do not suffer the -1 SPD penalty from using Heavy Armour.

Gobber 40 6 2 2 2 14 12 7 5
Gobbers are a cowardly race and will usually leave the leading to a braver individual. Unless the
Gang contains only Gobbers and Steamjacks, a Gobber will not lead a Gang.

Trollkin 80 6 5 3 8 12 12 7 5
Trollkin are a strong and resilient race. Trollkin have the Tough Skill. Trollkin also have the Big
Hands rule: when a model with Big Hands purchases a Ranged Weapon other than Crossbows,
Throwing Knives, and Grenades, they cost +5 Coins. When a Trollkin rolls on the Lasting Injury
Table, it may reroll a DEAD result once during each Post Game sequence.

Ogrun 90 5 5 3 9 12 12 7 10
Ogrun can never have the Jack Marshal Skill or the Mechanic Skill. Ogrun do not suffer the -1
SPD from Heavy Armor. Ogrun have the Big Hands rule: when a model with Big Hands
purchases a Ranged Weapon other than Crossbows Throwing Knives and Grenades they cost +5
Coins.

Satyxis 70 7 5 3 5 13 12 7 5
Satyxis are Cryxian raiders that occasionally find berth in Five Fingers, and while not a
comfortable sight, they have been known to stalk Five Fingers.

Thrall 50 6 4 3 6 13 10 5 5
Thralls are basic Cryxian undead, they are not really made for fighting, but they have their uses.
They are basic, cheap labor and are treated as such. Thralls are Undead, they are fearless, but
because of this, they will never gain experience.
NOTE: When Risen are specified, they use the exact same rules and stats as thralls.

Steamjacks
Steamjacks are some of the heavy ‘muscle’ of the Gangs. Most of the Steamjacks are older
models used to load and move cargo, but in a pinch they are assets in a gang brawl. They are
big, expensive and slow, but they are worth their weight in gold to a gang leader strapped for
muscle.
There are two different classes of Steamjacks. The first and most common are light Steamjacks.
They are faster and more nimble than their larger counterparts, but they are more fragile. They
are usually used for light hauling and construction work. The second are heavy Steamjacks,
much larger, more durable and stronger, they are slower.
Nothing beats sending a heavy Steamjack barreling through an enemy gang.

Steamjacks are slightly different from other Gangers. Their damage does not automatically heal
after a game has taken place, but their damage has to be repaired at a cost (see the Lasting
Injury section).
Light Steamjack: 175 points

The Armory
The final step of constructing your battle group is to purchase weapons, armor and other
equipment. It really isn’t all that smart to go to battle with your bare hands and your everyday
clothes.
Each warrior model can be armed with 2 ranged weapons and 2 melee weapons, in addition to
the Hand weapon that they already come armed with.
A Steamjack can only be equipped with 2 weapon systems, 3 if one of the systems is a Buckler.
If a Steamjack is equipped with 2 Shields, then the Steamjack’s SPD is at -1. You may purchase
additional weapons and equipment during the post game sequences at the end of each scenario.
Melee Weapons
Any of the weapons marked with a (*) cannot be used by a Steam Jack. A weapon purchased for
a Steam Jack costs an additional 5 Coins each.

Ranged Weapons
All Ranged weapons, with the exception of the Crossbow, Throwing Knives and Grenades are
black powder weapons and have the following rules:
Reload: For every turn a Black Powder Weapon fires, it must spend 1 turn being
reloaded.
If a model has 2 Black Powder Weapons, it can fire both of them one turn and reload both
the next, or it can fire one each turn, reloading it the next.
If the weapon has a ROF of more than 1, the ROF is the number of times that it can be
fired before needing to be reloaded.
Unstable: Whenever a to-hit roll for a Black Powder Weapon rolls double ones, roll a d6
on the misfire chart here:
1-2: Nothing: The weapon must be reloaded to be fired
3-4: Jam: Weapon cannot be fired for the rest of the Game
5: Break: the weapon must be repaired for 2d6 Coins
6: Explode: the wielding model suffers a POW 10 damage roll and the weapon is
removed from the model’s equipment
Weapons marked with (*) can be purchased for Steam Jacks. They can be bought individually or
bought in pairs of 2.
When being purchased for a Steam Jack, they lose one of their Open hands to wield it.

Campaign Rules
To start a campaign, you need to have at least 2 players, preferably more and an even number to
keep everyone playing. Each person should have their Gang, roster, models and everything else
they need to play. In theory, people can run more than one gang to increase variety of games,
but this could get confusing in the record keeping department.
After the players have their Gangs and are ready to play, the Win Conditions need to be
determined. These are what determine if the game is finished or not. If you are playing a
narrated style campaign, then the Win Conditions will probably be determined by the campaign
organizer. The Win Conditions can be either player-wide conditions or individual conditions.
Some of the Win Conditions ideas are the following:
The first Gang with a Leader to reach 100 XP or higher, wins the Campaign
The last Gang to have its original Leader still alive, wins the Campaign
Face a “Low-Captain’s Gang” controlled by a Game Master
Pretty much anything you can come up with can be used as a Campaign Win Condition, just
make it obtainable.
Gang Rating
The Gang Rating is determined as follows:
Add 1 for each Gobber and Thrall
Add 2 for each Human, Rhulic and Satyxis
Add 3 for each Trollkin
Add 4 for each Ogrun and Light Steamjack
Add 8 for each Heavy Steamjack
Add 1 for each Spell the Gang has access to
Add 1 for each Drive the Gang has access to
Add the combined number of Levels the Gang has
Added all together, this is the Gang’s rating.
For the Gang with the lowest Gang rating, there two options.
• For each difference in Gang rating, if the Gang with the lower rating wins, then the Gang
gains extra XP equal to the difference in Gang ratings, that is divided evenly (everyone
gets 1 before anyone gets 2 and then so on) among the surviving Gang members.
• If the Gang Rating difference is too great, the player with the lowest Gang rating gets 5
Coins per difference to use towards hiring a Brigand for the duration of the Scenario. At
the end of the game, the Brigand will leave and cannot be retained by paying their
upkeep.

Lasting Injuries
A model that is taking out of the game, must roll on the Lasting Injury Chart. It covers everything
from lost limbs, to being captured, to death.
If a model is DISABLED at the end of the game, make a CMD check. If the CMD check is
passed, the model recovers as normal. If the CMD check is failed, then the model must roll on
the Lasting Injury Table.
If the model is simply Knocked Down, then no roll is required. All models that do not roll on the
chart are automatically healed to full health before the next game.
Roll 2d6 and compare it to the following:

2 DEAD!
3 Leg Wound: Roll 1d6; 1-3 miss next game, 4-6 model looses ½ its SPD. If a
model rolls this twice, then it has to be removed from the roster
4 Arm Wound: Roll 1d6; 1-3 miss next game, 4-6 model looses 1 arm. If a model
rolls this twice, then it has to be removed from the roster
5 Massive Injury: Roll 1d6; 1-3 miss next game, 4-6 model must miss next 2 games
6 Head Wound: Roll 1d6; 1-4 miss next game, 5-6 model loses -1 MAT, RAT and
DEF
7 Recovers
8 Recovers, must miss next game
9 Recovers, model gains +1 XP
10 Traumatic Injury: Roll 1d6 before each game and compare to the following;
1-2 model must miss this game, 3-4 model suffers from Berserk this game,
5-6 model may act as normal
11 Captured: captured model can be ransomed back to the Gang or sold to
the Watch for 5d6 Coins
12 DEAD! (again)
Repairing Steamjacks
Steamjacks do not roll on the Lasting Injury Chart. Between each Campaign game, the
Steamjack must be repaired. If you have a Mechanic in the Gang, you may use the repair skill
once. The rest of the Damage bust be repaired by a reputable mechanic. Roll 1d6 when you are
going to repair a Steamjack, this cost is paid in addition to the actual damage repaired. You do
not have to have all of it repaired, but you must have at least one functioning box for the
Steamjack’s Systems.
Each Hull damage box costs 5 Coins to repair
Each System damage box costs 10 Coins to repair
Any System with an upgrade costs an additional 5 Coins per damage box to repair (such
as Enhanced Pneumatic Arms which will cost 15 Coins per box)
Thralls do not roll on the Lasting Injury Chart. Instead, roll on the following chart:
1-2 Thrall is destroyed, remove it from the roster.
3-5 Thrall is in need of repair, costs 2d6 Coins to repair.
6 Thrall is fine.
If a model is killed, the owning controller may try to recover some of the lost model’s equipment.
For each item that the model carried, roll a d6:
1-4 Item is unrecoverable
5-6 Item is salvaged
21 | Page
If the item attempting to be recovered is an item of armor (Light, Medium or Heavy Armor), a
Shield (shield or buckler) or a Mechanikal Limb, it is only recovered on a roll of 6.
Experience
During a campaign game, the participating models gain experience as shown in the following
chart:
+1 to the Leader of the Winning Gang
+1 per 5% difference in Gang Rating (for the Gang with the Lower rating)
+1 for surviving the battle
+1 for killing an opposing non-Steamjack model
+1 for DISABLING an opposing Steamjack
+1 for wrecking an opposing Steamjack
+X for completing Scenario based objectives, see Scenarios for more explanation.
Advancement
As model’s gain experience, they will be entitled to advancements. When a model

reaches a new level, it is entitled to either a new Skill or a Stat increase. A stat increase
can be with CMD, SPD, MAT, RAT, STR, DEF or Health. A model with a Skill[X] may
increase their skill rating by 1 for a Stat Increase. A model that is entitled to a Skill must
pick one from its existing skill lists, or decided to start a new Skill Set by picking a Skill
from that Set. If a model has the maximum number of skill sets, then it must choose a
Skill from one of its existing Sets. No stat may ever be increased past +3 from its starting
stat, CMD and Skill[X] can never be increased past 10. When Health is upgraded, the
model gains +2 Health instead of 1, and it may take this up to a total of 3 times.

Starting a Campaign Game

Each player rolls 1d6 and adds their gang’s highest CMD value to the roll. Whoever has the
highest total chooses which scenario will be played, and whether they will be the attacker or
defender. If a scenario has any alternating selection, the player who did not win the roll will get
first choice, such as setting up terrain for the game.
If the player with the lower rating wins the roll, roll on the following chart to determine the
Scenario that will be played:
1 Scenario 9: Warehouse
2 Scenario 8: Enemy Territory
3 Scenario 7: Docks
4 Scenario 3: Land Grab
5 Scenario 2: Raid
6 Scenario 1: Skirmish
If the player with the higher rating wins the roll, roll on the following table to determine the
Scenario that will be played:
1 Scenario 6: Ruins
2 Scenario 8: Enemy Territory
3 Scenario 5: Defend
4 Scenario 4: Rescue
5 Scenario 3: Land Grab
6 Scenario 1: Skirmish
If the players have tied their rolls, then play the Skirmish Scenario.
Basic Set-up Rules
The basic game board for a game should be set up on a 4x4 foot table. If there are any Scenario-
specific terrain features, make sure to set them up first. Each player takes a turn setting up a
piece of terrain. There should always be a way to move around the board, but one or two dead
ends won’t kill the game. Keep alternating setting up terrain until one player decides that there is
enough.
Many Scenarios call for the use of Tokens. Any model can forfeit their action to pick up a Token
and can only carry 1 token at any time. A model that is carrying a Token cannot run. A model
carrying a Token cannot drop the Token unless they are Knocked Down. When Tokens are
placed on the board, they must be at least 6 inches away from another token and at least 8
inches away from any model.
28 | Page
Scenario 1: Skirmish
Target: Make one Gang Route

Set up: Standard deployment. Two deployment zones across the board.

Bonus Earnings: None
Scenario 2: Raid
Target: Remove as many Loot counters from the defender’s deployment zone as possible
Set up: Defender places d3+1 Loot Tokens on the front edge of their deployment zone. Two
deployment zones across the board. Cannot block off routes from one board end to the other.
Terrain: Buildings, roads and alley ways, walls, crates and wagons.
Bonus Earnings: Each model that is in possession of a Loot Token at the end of the Scenario
gains +1 EXP. For each Loot Counter the Attacker has at the end of the game, roll on the
following chart:
1 10 Coins
2 20 Coins
3 30 Coins

Scenario 3: Land Grab
Target: Have more models in the building than the other Gang
Set up: In the center of the table, set up a building in the center of the table that is at least 6x6
inches in size. Note: it would be best to have a building with multiple entrances, not just one. It
would also be a good idea to have a building you can fight inside of.
Bonus Earnings: Any model that ends the game in the building gains +1 EXP. The Gang with
the most models in the building at the end may roll for a new Territory. See the Income area for
the Territory table.
Scenario 4: Rescue
Target: Get in, rescue the model, get them out alive.
Set up: In the Defender’s deployment zone, there needs to be an additional model set up. The
Defender must keep this model from entering base to base contact with an Attacker. Once the
model is in Base to base contact with an Attacker, the attacking player gains control of the model.
Note, the defender cannot kill the captive before the Attacker takes control. If desired, any Gang
may attempt to take this Scenario to rescue a Captured model if they desire. Replace the
Captive’s stats with the model’s stats. The model may not use any special rules, skills or abilities.
The model does not possess any of their old equipment.
Captive
MOV MAT RAT STR DEF ARM CMD HP

Coins.
29 | Page
Scenario 5: Defend
Target: Keep the opposing player from stealing your holdings

Set up: Set up a 6x6 building in the Defender’s deployment zone before the rest of the terrain.
This follows the same Set up rules as Land Grab other than the location of the target building.
Bonus Earnings: Any model that is in the building at the end of the game gains +1 EXP. If the
Attacker has more models in the building than the Defender, each player rolls 1d6 with the
Attacker getting a bonus for the difference in models in the building. If the Attacker’s total is
higher, then the Defender looses 1 Territory. If neither player had a Territory, then the attacker
rolls on the Territory chart.
Scenario 6: Ruin
Target: Find the artifact before the other Gang and get out with it alive.
Set up: The Ruin does not follow the normal set up rules. Set up should be a large central room
of at least 9x9 inches with multiple entrances and connected to a large maze system. Use
dungeon tiles or other similar set up. Each player sets up 2 pathways leading to the central room.
Randomly determine where each Gang starts. At the center of the set up, place an Artifact token.
The Gang that has control of the Artifact Token when the first Gang Routes, or one model gets
the Artifact Token to their deployment zone.
Bonus Earnings: Any model that has control of the Artifact at the end of the game gains +1 EXP.
If a model that possess the Artifact Token gets it back to their deployment zone, then the Gang
may roll on the Artifact table at the end of the Black Market Section.
Scenario 7: Docks
Target: Get the other Gang to Route, but watch out for weak decking
Set up: Place few buildings, a crane or two, crates, barrels, maybe a ship if there is one. Set up
terrain as a normal.
Special Rules: Any model that moves more than a walk or gains any boost to its MOV, it must
pass a CMD check. If the check is failed, remove the model from the game and roll on the injury
chart at the end of the game with a +1 to its roll. If a Steam Jack moves more than a walk, roll a
d6. On a roll of 1 or 2, the Steam Jack is removed from the game and suffers 2d6 damage.
Bonus Earnings: None
Scenario 8: Enemy Territory
Target: Sometime you are in the wrong place, it is time to get before they find you.
Set up: Place a 6 inch corridor down the center of the game board. Parallel to the ‘road’ place an
8” deployment zone along each back of the board.
At one end of the road, is the defender’s deployment zone.
Each model that makes it to the other end counts as a scoring model.
Bonus Earnings: Each model that makes it to the end of the corridor gains 1 EXP. If the
defending
Gang Routes, then all only the model’s that make it gain EXP.
If the Gang routes, then they do not gain EXP. If the Attacking Gang Routes, then the surviving
models automatically gain the EXP and win the Scenario.
30 | Page
Scenario 9: Warehouse
Target: Trying to rob a warehouse that is already being robbed.

Set up: Enclosed space. Shipping Containers, Crates, boxes, barrels. There need to be 2d6+1

during a game.
2) Territories: The Ganger can collect income as designated by any Territory that is held.

you may purchase your next new Ganger at half price. If you have multiple
Housing Areas, you can only get 1 new Ganger at half price.
Work
If the Jack Marshal decides to Work for Income, any Steam Jack that has all of its systems still
functioning (ignoring the hull), then it may also work. If the Steam Jack works with the Jack
Marshal, the Jack Marshal does not need to have its upkeep paid and the Steam Jack’s upkeep is
halved.
32 | Page
Upkeep
After the amount of Income the Gang has collected has been determined, subtract the following
for general upkeep for the Gang.
Each Human, Gobber, Rhul and Satyxis 4 Coins each
Each Trollkin and Ogrun 6 Coins each
Each Light Steam Jack 15 Coins each
Each Heavy Steam Jack 30 Coins each
Any model armed with a Black Powder Weapon 1 Coin each
Paying Brigands xx Coins Each
The cost is determined by what brigand you wish to hire.
Once the Gang’s total Income has been determined, they may spend the remaining money in the
Markets.
New Recruits
New recruits may be bought in the same way a model in the Gang Creation section is bought.
Choose a model and a Specialty (if there is an opening), their weapons and armor and pay for
them. You are not required to pay their upkeep until the next game.
Any new model hired into the Gang must follow any restrictions that your original Gang
recruitment followed.
Brigands
If you choose to hire any Brigands, then you must purchase them at this stage. You may hire
them by paying their Hire Fee. The Brigands can be found after the Market Sections.
Markets
Markets are divided into 2 markets, White Markets and Black Markets.
White Market items are commonly available and can be purchased freely without any looking.
Black Market items are a bit harder to get a hold of. To determine the availability of Black Market
items, roll a d6 when buying items to determine how many Rare items are offered. Pick out the
Rare Items you wish to try to purchase and then make a CMD check. Each Black Market will
have a Rarity number from 0 to 3. This represents a negative modifier to CMD. If you pass the
CMD check, then you can purchase the item.
Selling items is never as lucrative when they are used.
If you ever wish to sell any items while at the Markets, they are automatically worth half of their
original cost. Rare Items are always worth their full price if you decide to sell them. On the other
hand, you can always hang on to any older items to hand them off to any new recruits or to
replace lost or damaged weapons as a campaign goes on.
