CREATING A KILLZONE Kill Team games with all manner 0! provides rules ant he war zones and battlefields of the 4ist Millennium are treacherous places at the best of times ~sectors, cities, even entire planets are reduced to little more than rubble and ruination by cataclysmic battles.

Industrial complexes have been turned into wastelands of wrecked factories and twisted ‘machinery, Fortifications are left derelict, pipes and fuel lines are ruptured, and vital supplies are left forgotten amidst the destruction. Shrines, statues and other such holy places are defiled, pulled down and ransacked, Yet still these places are fought over, for every scrap of fuel, every holy relic and every inch of ground is valuable to one side or the other in the wider theatre of war. It's on these battlefields ~these killzones ~ that kill teams truly excel, for they can move through the wreckage of war unseen and undetected to carry out missions that fat larger armies would not be able to achieve.
