scowled, it seemed they had bigger weapons than

A naginata-armed Triad, eyes madly staring
through the goggles of his gas mask, charged her with
his ancient weapon. She batted him contemptuously

herself between the attacking mob and the handful of
marines hunkered down in the cover of a groundcar.

and, for a fleeting instant Nissa remembered a rumour
Bindahar had told her a few days ago, just as one of
the suicidal Triads landed a blow with his weapon
against the carapace of her Sabre and knocked her off
her feet. Sirens shrieked their warning in her ear, her
cockpit flooded with blood red light, and Nissa's ears
rang with the aftermath of an explosion. There had
been a tremendous detonation, more remembered
than felt, and Nissa, trapped in a sea of her own con-
cussion, lost all sense of time or place. The readings
on her screens made no sense, and for a strange
moment she thought she was back at pilot school,
panicking over a particularly devious simulation. But it
wasn't a simulation - and with that realization she sud-
denly felt sharp pain, and noticed that her Sabre was
on fire.
What was it Bindahar had said? That the
Triads were using shaped-explosives on the ends of
their polearms, and running up to armoured units as if
challenging them to a duel. She remembered now that
they had both laughed at the idea as being too crazy
for anyone but a Junker.
Nissa, shouting comms and sirens pounding her brain
with a confusing melange of demands, curled her fin-
gers around the eject handle and pulled.
She had been hammered downward by the
explosion, and now she was punched back up - up
and through the burning shell of her dead CLAU and
out upon the street. All around her soldiers fought, and
seemed so small even though she looked up at them,
small because that is how she remembered them from
her titan's vantage point. A ganger was quick to notice
her lying there, vulnerable and strapped into her feed-
back harness, and ran toward her with drawn sword.
When he was close enough that she was
confident of her aim, Nissa shot him through the head.
She who had flown in the blackness of space
had never thought of this as her element, this messy
war in the streets, land-locked and brutal and face-to-
face. But she had been trained well, and she had
adapted. She had found her niche and not looked
back. Nissa shrugged out of her harness and left the
bulky thing in the street and ran limping for cover,
checking the ammo counter on her pistol and running
fingers over her equipment. She did not look back,
and never noticed that the stars were out above the
streets of Iskandria, clear and distant and
unknowable.

This little tweak can radically alter the way your game
plays. By shortening the range bands to 10", or even
8", we bring all the action that much closer in. You may
prefer this anyway, but another reason you might want
to try this is if you're a little short on terrain; on open
battlefields 'shooty' forces tend to have an advantage,
and this can redress the balance.

Shunt
Models with this special rule build up a lot of impetus
when they charge, so can 'shunt' or stagger smaller
enemy models if they contact them. This allows the
charging model to force its way deep into a group of
the enemy in an attempt to contact as many of them
as possible. As it moves through the group, any mod-
els it contacts along the way are carried, or 'shunted',
along with it.
Shunting is only possible if the charging
model is also at least 2 SZ points larger than its target,
for example a model of SZ6 can shunt enemy models
of SZ4 or smaller. Assuming this is so, make the initial
charge to contact just as you would normally, moving
the charging model into contact with an enemy model,

must be in a straight line, however after contacting
the first model and before contacting any subse-
quent ones, the shunting model can make a single
turn by rotating up to 45 degrees on the spot.
Enemy models already in contact do not rotate with
the shunting model; they remain in place and in
contact.
• If the position of a previously contacted model

obstructs the shunting models path to another
model, then providing contact is maintained, you
can shift it the minimum distance required to enable
the shunting model to carry on moving.
• If a subsequent enemy model obstructs the

progress of the shunting model and those being
shunted, it can be shoved aside by the minimum
distance required to enable them to carry on mov-
ing. If terrain or the position of a friendly model
prevents this, then as above, you can shift one or
more of the previously contacted models.
• Under no circumstances can friendly models be

shunted, and enemy models that are being shunt-
ed or shoved aside cannot move into contact with
them. They must maintain a distance of at least half
an inch from such models.

Only weapons that inflict close combat damage based

on their wielders strength (ST) stat can be used to
make a sweep attack, for example combat blades,
pole arms and improvised weapons. Weapons that
inflict damage based on their own power, like rifles
and cannons etc. cannot be used. In addition the
attacking model must be in base contact with two or
more enemy models, and must also be at least 2 SZ
points larger than them. For example a model of SZ6
can make a sweep attack against enemy models of
SZ4 or smaller. Assuming these criteria are met,
choose one of the enemy models and roll to hit and

CLAU ‘Pilots’
If you take a look at their profiles you'll notice that
many CLAUs can be upgraded by adding a combat-

trained 'pilot', or operator, examples being the
Gladiator Beastmaster and the VASA Mechsoldat. If
you decide add such an upgrade, then if the CLAU is
destroyed the pilot will survive to carry on the fight*. As
you'd expect, the pilots CAL stat is identical to that of
their CLAU, and the following rules apply.
• When the CLAU is destroyed the pilot automatical-

pilot counts as having been activated and complet-

• As far as model count and victory conditions are

concerned, the CLAU and pilot are considered to
be a single model. The CLAU does not count as
being lost until both it and the pilot have been
destroyed.
* Note that opting not to buy a combat trained pilot

doesn't mean that a pilot isn't present; it just means
that the one that is there is either incapable or unwill-

CLAU-Teams in Urban War
This supplement introduces massive battlesuits, robots and warbeasts to the Urban
War game.
Known collectively as 'CLAUs', or Capital Light Armoured Units, these huge engines of
destruction are guaranteed to play a decisive role upon the battlefield. They open up a
whole new range of strategies to you, and demand attention from your
opponent.
Though they're the focus, CLAUs don't make the rest of your team obsolete, their roles
might have changed, but each individual still has an important part to play
Highlights of this supplement include:
z Profiles of the CLAUs themselves
z Details on how to build your team, which must include a mix of CLAUs and normal
troopers. 750 points is the standard game size, and the total model count is no
more than a standard Urban War strike-team
z A simple tweak to the standard Urban War turn sequence to simulate the heavy
lumbering nature of CLAUs. Though powerful, they benefit from infantry support
z CLAU 'pilots'. Battlesuit wrecked? Warbeast given up the ghost? No problem, the
pilot can carry on the fight!
z An array of powerful new CLAU weapons, and to help them cope with this new
threat, new weapons for the rest of your team. Examples include the Koralon Warp
Strike, the Sticky Bomb, and the Thermite Dart
z New Special Rules, updates to existing rules, and a couple of alternative rules for
you to try out
z Stat cards for each new troop type, and damage counters for the CLAUs
To use this supplement you will need Urban War: Strike-Team Actions.
Urban War: Strike-Team Actions is a fast paced skirmish game

designed for 2 or more players. The individual model and experience
based system enables a unique variety of tactical choices, as you
develop your teams to suit your own personal play-styles and
strategies.
Metropolis: Battle-Force Conflicts moves the action up a level from

the small-scale skirmishes played out in Urban War. It shifts the
focus from the individual to the squad where players build "Battle-
Forces" of units to fight on the war torn city of Iskandria.
Iskandria: Planetary Data is the essential companion to the Urban

War & Metropolis game systems. This sourcebook contains a wealth
of information on the protagonists and their conflicts within the
Draconis Alba galaxy.
