GREETINGS
The following three scenarios are designed to be
played as a linked story, with the results of one
scenario affecting the next and/or final scenario.
They are specifically designed to be played in
sequence, with the overall winner determined by the
final scenario. The scenarios require the 2-Player
Starter Set and the Institute Expansion Card Pack.

STORYLINE AND CONSEQUENCES

During these scenarios, one player will be referred
to as the Traders and the other will be referred
to as the Institute. The forces of either side may
include any units, but the Institute side is more
thematically suited to Units belonging to the
Institute faction.

To set the scene, each player should read the

Introduction for their side, found on page 13 for
the Institute player and page 14 for the Trader
player. Before starting each scenario, players
should read the opening ‘Story’ section in the
scenario’s details aloud.

At the end of each scenario, the Institute player

If you want to be sure no-one else can grab an Item between when it is
dropped and when it can be picked up, either activate both models in the
same turn (one to drop and the other to pick up), or drop and pick up where
opposing models canot interfere. (Note: The reason a model cannot pass
an Item directly to another is to prevent all models using one Laser Rifle
between them by just passing it around.)

nn When a model is removed, it drops any Items that it gained during the
scenario. Place a token in contact with its base before removing the model
to show where these are located, and other models may pick up the item(s)
during their activation as normal.

nn Note that ‘Sharing’ Limited Use Items is not the same as dropping then
picking-up as this does not transfer the Item card.
