When you are telling the players about this battle,
rememberjust to tell them what they would know. For
example, tell the raiders' player that he is ambushed
(nothingmentionedaboutthe double-crossingdealers)and
don't tell the dealersthat the usurpersare going to turn up.
The usurperswill probably know pretty much everything,
though you might like to let them think the raiders and
dealers could gang up on them. Of course, the players
themselvesmay want to strike impromptu bargainstoo if
they think aboutit!
GEffiG€
In this scenariothe raidersgangshouldideally havea lower
gang rating than either of the other two. Outlaws may
participatein this scenarioin any role, but Ratskins and
Scawies may only play the raidersor usurpers.Spyrersor
Redemptionistscan only play the usu{pers,each for their
own uniquereasonsof course.
SffigYHF€&A$F
The Arbitrator should set up the terrain as required.The
raiders staft out carrying six Loot counters,split between
the gang as the player wishes (but note a model may not
cary more than one counter).The raiders start 20" from
any table edge and at least 24" away from the dealers'
transportswhich are waiting to carry the booty out of the
Underhive.There should be one or two transportsfor the
dealers,dependingon availability of models. These are
placed 24" from the table edges.The dealer gang starts
within 8" of their transports.
The raider gang startswithin 4" of any one table edge.Roll
to seewhich gang deploysfirst, secondand third. Tunnels
and Ventsmay not be usedby any ofthe gangs(the dealers
and raidersthink the rendezvousis prety safe).
Roll to see which gangsget first, secondand third turns.
Play then proceedsas normal (well, pretty much... ).
TRANSPGRTS
These could be trucks, railway carriages,barges or
whatever.You may like to improvise somerules for them
moving around and their Toughnessand Wounds in case
they are shot at, but they are basically included for colour
and to give the dealers some much-neededcover (the
drivers flee as soon as the shootingstafts).
LGOT
The loot in Triple Crossis much bulkier than normal (it's
cratedup, stuffedin sacksor generallyjust too big to sling
in your pocket). For this reason, the rules for loot are
different from thosein other scenarios.
In this scenarioa model may only carry oneLoot counterat
a time. If a model carrying a Loot counteris takendown or
out they drop the counterwhere they fall. If a model takes
out a fighter carrying a Loot counter in hand-to-hand
combat they may take the counter as they scrag their
opponent.A droppedLoot countermay be pickedup b,vany
model passingover it during the movementphase.A model
carrying loot cannotfire a rangedweaponand must drop it
to fight in hand-to-handcombat.If they are chargingthey
must drop the loot at the start of their chargeto give them
time to ready their weapons.

Whatever the result of the battle, all the gangs involved
may collect income from their territory as normal (or

injuries as normal; capturedgangerswill be taken by a
randomly determined enemy gang. If the local militia or
Arbitrators showed up there is a chance that captured
gangerswill have been taken into custody (for example,

by Gang 2 on a 5 or 6 the Watchmenare holding them).
You may like to fight a modified Rescuescenarioagainst
the Watchmenforces as a later Arbitrator scenarioif this
happens.

LOCAL MILITIA
The local militia squad will comprise ten men, usually
armed with lasguns and wearing flak armour (Imperial
Guard models are good for this). They have the profile
given below and must take a Bottle test like a gang if they
are reducedby 25Vocasualties.Militia squadsdo not have
to make Ammo rolls, they are kept well supplied.
Alternatively, the local militia may be the campaign
Watchmengang (if there is one) or at least some of their
members.
