The battlefield is strewn with discarded equipment, wounded comrades, supplies and the other detritus of war that, for various reasons, you wish to recover. You must fight off the enemy while scouring the field to secure as much plunder as you can.

The items to be secured are represented by a total of D3+2 Loot counters. Each player alternates placing a Loot counter until they are all on the table. Toss a coin to see who places a counter first. A counter may not be placed in impassable terrain, nor may one be placed within 12" of a table edge or another counter.

At the end of the game you control a Loot counter if there is at least one of your scoring units, and no enemy scoring units, within 6" of it.

In Alpha missions, the player wily the most Loot counters wins.

Victory Point rules are used in the Gamma and Omega missions. See the Special Rules section for details.

Alpha: None.

Gamma: Infiltrate, Deep Strike, Dusk & Dawn, Victory Points.

Omega: Escalation, Concealment, Infiltrate, Deep Strike, Dusk & Dawn, Victory Points, Random Game Length.
