DEMOLISHUN DERBYGorkamorka has some great rules for causing chaos through ramming but lots ofthe time they go under-used. What better way to encourage some carnage than a

good ol' fashioned demolition derby?

By TRISTÅN ERICKSON (tristan@afktavern.com)

Demolishun derbies are a favourite pastimeamongst some of the richer mobs. Their oldervehicles are so full of 'oles they're prettymuch only good for smashing up - any excuseto get some new wheels! Not to be outdoneup-and-coming mobs like to get in on theaction to rub those posh gitz' noses in thedirt. Orks from all around usually show up towatch and often fights break out in the standsas the spectators get really into the violenceof the event.YEAH! RAM 'IM AGAIN!

Special RulesThis scenario is unusual in that it does not usethe Bottlin' Out special rules. On the otherhand it does use the It’z Da Takin’ Part DatKountz special rule (see below).

Da DesertThe mobs will need plenty of room to raceabout and crash. It is suggested that youplace a ring of hills and rocks around thearena to be used as makeshift spectatorstands. Or if you're feeling really ambitiouswhy not have a go at making propa'grandstand scenery pieces?

MobsAny number of mobs may participate in thederby.

Mobs are split into vehicles with their driversand the rest of the mob. Only vehicles areallowed in the arena whilst the rest of themob (vehicle crews included) take uppositions in a chosen area of the seatingstands.

Startin'The Revvin' an' Shoutin' rules from page 91 ofDa Uvver Book should be used to determineturn order.

Rules of Da DerbyNo spectator may move, shoot, or initiatehand-to-hand combat until one of their mob'svehicles has been involved in a ram. The air istaut with anticipation until a hefty crunch oftheir vehicles breaks the spell!

After making the ram the mobs whosevehicles were involved may attack otherspectators, run into the arena, attempt

boarding actions, and basically take theirturns as normal.

Grots are far too sneaky to be concerned withthe traditions of the derby and may act asnormal without one their mob's vehiclesgetting in on the action.

Endin'Once all of a mob's vehicles are crippled orimmobilised that mob automatically bottlesout. Their vehicles should be left on the tableas additional obstacles.

Whichever mob still has a mobile vehicle onthe table at the end of the game is crownedvictor.

It’z Da Takin’ Part Dat Kountz

These sorts of events aren’t just aboutsmashing things up - the sumboyz make akilling on all the betting that goes on. Ofcourse without mobs willing to risk theirmachines no one’s making any money andthat’s exactly the sort of thing that keeps asumboy awake at night!

With so much cash coming in it’s just goodbusiness to pay for some meks to be on handto patch up the damage after the fight.Vehicles which receive permanent damage asa result of the scenario will have itautomatically repaired after the fight at nocost. If a vehicle already had permanentdamage prior to the fight that won’t be fixed,only damage incurred during the derby - themeks keep an eye out for sneaky gitz trying topull a fast one!

Experience+D6 SurvivesAll warriors that survive the battle gain D6experience points.

+5 Wounding/Penetrating HitsAs in all scenarios, wounding hits andpenetrating vehicle armour gains a warrior 5experience points.

+1 Damage Inflicted By RammingDrivers who directly inflict damage on otherwarriors by ramming gain 1 experience pointfor each point of damage inflicted. Causingdamage indirectly (such as forcing anotherdriver to swerve and thereby crash) does notcount towards this experience bonus. Thecrowd will love it though!

+10 WinningThe leader of the winning mob gains 10experience points

VariationsFancy making things “intrezting”? Withsomething like this it's easy to setup a systemfor wagering.

There's a number of ways to do this. The mostbasic is a simple buy-in. Players decide on areasonable amount per mob (e.g. 3 teef) andtake that from their teef hoard. The winnerkeeps the whole pot.

As the teef are coming from the teef hoardand have already gone through the expensestable (page 65 of Da Uvver Book) there's noneed to put them through it again. Whateverthe winner gets goes straight into their teefhoard!

Alternatively a buy-in for each vehicle mightbe fun. Whether it's better depends on themobs in your campaign - some mobs arebetter for this scenario than others. Bikes andsimilar small vehicles are at a disadvantagecompared to a chunky trukk. It's still worthgetting them in there (free repairs after all!)but it's not exactly an equal match.

Here's a suggested buy-in list:1 toof - Small vehicles (e.g. bikes)3 teef - Big vehicles (e.g. trukks)4 teef - Big vehicles with reinforced rams

This might be better further into a campaignwhen mobs are getting bigger. A mob withthree trukks is at a distinct advantagecompared to one made up of bikes and traks!

Sometimes a derby game starts to resemble abattle more than a competition. Time to mixthings up a bit!

A possible solution to this is to use the Revvin'An' Shoutin' rules after each turn. Of coursethis can lead to a mob getting two turns in arow but by the same token a mob could comein first one turn and then last the next. It's alittle difficult to plan careful tactical moves ifa bit more randomness is introduced like this.

Another idea that might work is to up theamount of extra experience drivers get forramming. You could even add a prize for themob that inflicts the most damage byramming to really up the ante.

Another (particularly sadistic) variant of thescenario is to play without the It’z Da Takin’Part Dat Kountz special rule. It's probably bestto make sure everyone has read through thescenario fully though to avoid any nastysurprises if you do go down that path. It'sprobably a good idea even if you're playingthe scenario normally - you might end upwith some rather hesitant vehicle actionotherwise!
