Knowledge is Power!
A fun treasure hunt style scenario for Dystopian Wars
In a blistering piece of undercover journalism, Tadita
Achterberg, correspondent for the Swiss Financial
Times, reported on the recent financial war-
expenditures of the Kingdom of Britannia and ally
the Federated States of America.
Details included troop movements, supply costs,
research and development costs, lists of departments
and companies paid, including several identified as
mercenary, and the economic stress of those nations,
as well as many more embarrassing, secret and sordid
details.
She has suggested she also possesses the records
of many more of the major and minor powers in
the world, and has stated she will release them in
due course. Naturally, the response has been swift.
Branded universally as a traitor, spy and much worse,
she has become the most hunted figure on the planet.
Correspondence from her has been tracked back
to her source, and while she is no-doubt hiding

somewhere far away, the possibility of any further
records falling into the public domain have the
nations of the world in a spin.
SECURE THE DOCUMENTS
Off the East Coast of Africa is an archipelago made
up of over 100 small islands called the Seychelles. For
some time this archipelago was the secluded base of
operations of a small but well-funded business called
The Office of Accounts.
The Office of Accounts may be small and un-notable,
but it is a subsidiary of the East India Company,
and has direct links to many of the worlds leading
financial organisations.
If rumour proves true, The Office of Accounts is
where the financial records of many of the worlds
leading organisations are maintained in detail a
veritable trove of information, and as the saying goes,
knowledge is power!
RULES FOR DYSTOPIAN WARS 2.0
Table Size: 4 x 4
Maximum Fleet Value: 1,000pts.
Fleet Restrictions: Naval Core. No Large or Massive
Models. All models must be Medium or Small (only the
fastest ships dispatched). Medium Models may comprise
up to 70% of the MFV, Small Models may comprise up to
50% of the MFV.
Special Scenario Conditions: Only Reserve Strategic
Forces may be used in this scenario (no Advance or
Flanking).
If a Model/Squadron ends its movement within 8 of an
Island, it may board that island with AP as if it were an
enemy Model. All islands are considered to have 0 AP.
When boarding an island place a dice next to the AP
Marker/s with a 1 facing up. In the End Phase, during the
Persistent Damage Step, every dice on an island should be
rotated to the next highest number (1->2, 2->3 etc.).
Once a dice is on 3, the AP from an island has found the
information it is seeking and may board any friendly
model within 8 as per normal, and scores the player an
immediate 80 VP.

Islands containing the AP of an enemy may be boarded as
an Aggressive Boarding Action as per the normal rules.
If AP is removed from an island as a result of an enemy
Boarding Action, it loses any dice and the value on the
dice it had previously. The new owner of the island places
a dice instead, with a 1 showing as above.
Setting Up The Gaming Table
Prior to the deployment of any Squadrons, each player,
starting with the player who has the Tactical Advantage,
should take one piece of Scenery from the Mail Order
Scenery Set designed by Spartan Games, and place it on
the table in the 16 band that horizontally straddles the
tabletop.
It may not be placed with 8 of either players deployment
zones, nor within 4 of another piece of scenery. Once the
player with the Tactical Advantage has placed their piece,
the player with the Strategic Advantage should place one
following the same restrictions described above. Players
continue to place pieces of scenery back and forth until
ALL items of scenery from the Scenery Set are placed on
the board.
Once all the Terrain is placed on board the player with the
Strategic Advantage chooses their board edge.
Deployment zones apply as per normal, players may only
field Reserve Strategic Forces (no Advance or Flanking as
described earlier).
