2. A card which is an attack and the attack is

During Set-up: If the Item Deck of the Wasteland (see Searchables and Item Deck below) will contain fewer than 5
cards, the attacker can choose to re-roll the Goal until a different one is rolled.
During the scenario: Remember that removed models drop any item which they did not start the scenario with as
usual.
Victory Condition: The attacker must steal a number of items based on the number of Item cards in the Item Deck at
Set-up.
Pillage
• 1-12 items in the Item Deck: 5 items must be stolen.
• 13-24 items in the Item Deck: 10 items must be stolen.
• 25-36 items in the Item Deck: 15 items must be stolen, and so on.
An item is deemed to have been stolen if it is taken off the battlefield by an attacker model and/or if an attacker
model up to Red from any battlefield edge is holding it at the end of the game. Items dropped by opposing models
(i.e. items they did not start the scenario with) count towards the total required if they are stolen.
Steal a specific Item.
Victory Condition: The item to be stolen is moved off of the table.
Heist During Set-up: The defender places the Searchable face-up within Yellow of the center of the Settlement – this is
the item to be stolen. It can be placed inside a Structure with doors.
Special Rules: The Item to be stolen is treated like an item which is not Shareable. The defender’s models may only
pickup the item to be stolen after it has been picked-up at least once by an attacker model.

Kidnap any damage. A model carrying an unconscious defender cannot climb, suffers -2 to all Skill Tests, and counts Difficult

An unconscious defender counts as kidnapped when the model carrying it exits the battlefield. Defender models may

AI SETTINGS
The AI Settings depend on the attacker’s Victory Condition.
NAME AI SETTING FOR ATTACKER

Objective: Defeat [Any Structure which counts towards Victory Condition]
Target Priorities
When using Target Priorities to determine which Structure to target, ignore: Prepared, Spent, Importance, Not
Engaged, Engaged, Capable.
If the Objective is to cause a total number of Structural Damage to Structures:
• Weakest Least damage required to cause Structural Damage
• Largest Highest Health (maximum shown on table of Health and Armor)
• Wounded Most damage tokens
Ransack • Healthiest Requires the most damage to cause Structural Damage
Vandalize
Disrupt Apart from Ransack: Ignore Structures which have already had Structural Damage caused to them.
Disable
Shutdown For Ransack: If the AI’s shows 1 icon, ignore Structures which have already had Structural Damage
Sabotage caused to them.
Weaken
Demolish If the Objective is to cause a total number of Wrecked Structures:
• Weakest Least total damage required to cause the Structure to be Wrecked
• Largest Highest Health (maximum shown on table of Health and Armor)
• Wounded Most total damage required compared to Undamaged
Example: Stores have 4 Health so a Damaged Stores with 3 Damage tokens has a total of 7 damage (4 to
make it Damaged plus the 3 damage tokens)
• Healthiest Requires the most damage to Wreck the Structure
Example: Stores have 4 Health so a Damaged Stores with 3 Damage tokens requires another 5 damage to
Wreck it (1 to make it Badly Damaged then 4 more to make it Wrecked)
Ignore Structures which are Wrecked.
All Items in the Item Deck are referred to as ‘items to be stolen’.
If the AI models are not holding enough items to be stolen to win.
If all items that can be stolen are held by models: Objective 2
Otherwise: If the is 1 icon: Objective 1
If the is 2 icons: Objective 2

Objective 1: Use [item to be stolen token]
Any Careful responses are resolved as O.
Subject priority is:
1. Item to be stolen that can be reached in a single Move.
2. Item to be stolen that can be reached in two Moves.
Pillage 3. Nearest item to be stolen not within two Moves of opposing model.
4. Nearest item to be stolen.
During each point above, prioritize tokens within a single Move of a Ready or Unready
opposing model; then, prioritize tokens within two Moves of a Ready or Unready opposing
model.
Objective 2: Defeat [Any model holding an item to be stolen]
Within each step of a model’s Target Priority list, prioritize opposing models holding the most
items to be stolen.
If the AI models are holding enough items to be stolen to win.
Any Careful responses are resolved as O. Note that the models will not Exit the battlefield unless all of their
remaining models will exit during the AI’s turn.
Objective for model holding an item to be stolen: Go To [Nearest edge of the battlefield].
Objective for all other AI: Protect [Nearest model holding an item to be stolen].
The behavior by the AI is based on where the item to be stolen is located:
• When no model is holding the item to be stolen, use Phase 1.
• When an AI model is holding the item to be stolen, use Phase 2.
• When opposing model is holding the item to be stolen, use Phase 3.
Phase 1: Take the item
Objective: Use [Item to be stolen].
Heist
Phase 2: Escape with the item
Objective for the model holding the item to be stolen: Go To [Off Battlefield using nearest edge of the
battlefield].
Objective for all other AI: Protect [Model holding the item].
Phase 3: Get the opposing model to drop the item
Objective: Defeat [Opposing model holding item to be stolen].
NAME AI SETTING FOR ATTACKER
When an AI model is to take each action, perform the first section below which matches the model’s
circumstances:
If the AI model is carrying an unconscious defender:
Objective: Go To [Nearest Battlefield Edge].
Any Careful responses are resolved as O. Note that the models will not Exit the battlefield unless all of their
remaining models will exit during the AI’s turn.
If the AI models combined are currently carrying enough unconscious defenders that would win the scenario if
they all exited the Battlefield:
Objective: Protect [Model carrying unconscious defender with fewest friendlies within Green excluding self –
nearest if tied].
If no opposing model would be attacked and there are other AI models carrying an unconscious defender,
consider these other AI models as Subjects too (in order of increasing distance). If no attack/engagement
would occur after checking all Subjects, Move towards the Subject carrying an unconscious defender which
has the fewest friendlies within Green excluding self.
If neither of the above:
Kidnap
Do the first of these that is possible:
1. Grab unconscious defender
Objective: Use [Nearest Unconscious Defender].
This must result in picking up an unconscious defender this activation.
2. Head towards unconscious defender
Objective: Use [Nearest unconscious defender with fewest friendlies within Red excluding self].
3. Knock out opposing models
Objective: Defeat [Any].
Notes:
• When attacking: Within each step of a model’s Target Priority list, prioritize opposing models carrying
unconscious defenders, i.e. if Target Priority is Wounded, prioritize the most Wounded carrying
unconscious defenders before the most Wounded not carrying unconscious defenders.
• Remember to assess each AI action in case the circumstances have changed, i.e. an AI’s first action
may make a model drop an unconscious defender so the AI may use its second action to grab the
unconscious defender now laying on the ground.
Assassination Objective: Defeat [Leader].
