The Age of the Emperor - The SIEGE OF TERRA Campaign Weekend www.tempusfugitives.co.ukUsing Cities of Death in the Age of theEmperor: The Siege of TerraThe key principle to bear in mind when you play Cities ofDeath games is that the rules found in the Warhammer40,000 take precedence in the event of a conflict. Thatsaid, the following clarifications should help keep yourgames running more smoothly.prepare your Cityfight games. In several places it refersyou to the main rulebook. Use the Organising a Battlesection (pages 86‐95) of the Warhammer 40,000Rulebook to clarify any points that do arise.Self‐contained MissionsThe Cityfighting Missions (Cities of Death, page 42) areentirely self‐contained, and don't need any reference tothe main rulebook at all with the exception of whatcounts as a Scoring Unit at the end of a game ‐ basically,only Troops choices under the latest rules. Players mustadopt this rule instead of using the Cityfighting VictoryPoints table (page 46 of Cities of Death) to determinevictory. Likewise, the 5th edition rules allow even asingle model to contest an objective, something thatsuits the desperate all‐or‐nothing nature of cityfightbattles.StratagemsThere are two Cityfighting Stratagems that are directlyaffected by the rules change. Fortunately, both have asimple solution for the alteration. These are as follows:Line of SightThe line of sight rules as presented in the Warhammer40,000 rulebook are perfectly suited to Cities of Deathand mean that the cramped and crowded confines of acity board are deadlier than ever. Players need to takegreat care when standing models near windows ordoorways, and tanks can no longer rumble along behindwalls with impunity ‐ you never know who's watching,and what weapon they're aiming at you. On pages 10‐11of the Cities of Death rulebook there is an explanationon Determining Line of Sight. The rules as they arepresented here are completely superseded by whatfollows in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.Organising a CityfightThe Organising a Cityfight section of Cities of Death(pages 14‐16) contains all the information you need toIntact BuildingsIn games of Cities of Death the Warhammer 40,000rulebook offers rules allowing models to move into,defend and fire at intact buildings. Jump Infantry are freeto land on roof tops but take dangerous terrain tests asnormal.6Command Centre StratagemThe Command Centre stratagem used to allow units toignore Target Priority tests and grants the Counter‐Attack special rule to a unit within 12". Since TargetPriority tests no longer exist, it now only grants Counter‐Attack to a unit, although that special rule isundoubtedly better using the new Assault rules.Preliminary Bombardment StratagemPreliminary Bombardments still exist and can now befound tucked away on page 258.NEW STRATAGEM (ORKS ONLY)POTATO SQUIGS (DIRTY TRICK)An unusual creature, the Potato Squig likes to burrow inwarm or wet tunnels rich in carbon deposits. Theexhausts of enemy vehicles make an excellent exampleof these habitats.After deployment, roll a die for each enemy vehicle. Ona roll of a 5+ they are Crew Stunned for the first turn.
