FOREWORD
Welcome to the world of the Doctor the endless battle across Time and Space,
between those who would seek to dominate and destroy, and those who wish to
protect and preserve. Amongst all this chaos, this seemingly endless strife, stands one
man, dedicated to healing that which is sick, willing to sacrifice himself and those
he cares for to fight for cosmic justice. A Timelord, once the last of his kind, still a
renegade but also an example of what his people could be. He protects the Time
Vortex the only way he knows how, with ever-changing companions, a blue box to
travel in, a quick mind, a sonic device and an eternity of adventures waiting for him
We have divided the journey to learn and play the rules for this game into three
different booklets so you can start by learning the core rules and jump straight to
your first scenario using only the contents of this box.

The first booklet which we could call the basic mechanics is the battle system
explained in this Rules booklet you are now reading. Players use the Battle cards,
plus two sets of faction miniatures and their Recruitment cards, to fight a skirmish
battle that runs through several turns and concludes according to the scenario
objectives. Once players are familiar with the game mechanics, they can use the
Adventure cards for a more advanced experience!

The second booklet is the Guide to the Time Vortex, which contains details on the
two factions represented on this boxed game the Daleks and the Cybermen
and introduces six scenarios to play not only with them, but with any other factions
available in the future.

The third booklet is the Adventures booklet which introduces the game to a faction
made of the Doctor and his companions, explaining how to assemble the group of
special characters and two special scenarios to play with them!

 CORE CONCEPTS
The following section explains the core rules to play a game of Exterminate!
GAME ELEMENTS
Recruitment Cards
In Doctor Who: Exterminate! each
faction is made up of several character
miniatures selected from a series of
Recruitment cards that contain all the
information needed to play those
characters.
The Guide to the Time Vortex booklet
explains in more detail how to build a
faction using the Recruitment cards to
play the game.
All Recruitment cards share the following
key elements:
A Picture and number of miniatures:
The picture represents the type of
miniatures this Recruitment card brings
into the faction. The number in the
circle is a multiplier for the number of
miniatures shown on the card.
B Special traits and notes concerning
the miniatures on the card. For
convenience, all special traits and
any additional notes are explained in
detail on the back of each card.
C The number of Fate tokens this card
adds to the faction's Fate Pool.
D Starter Set / Expansion icon used
for easy separation of decks from
different game expansions.
E Special character icon when
applicable.
F General profile or statistics line (stats)
showing the following values:
C
F
A
E B
D
Movement: The maximum number
of inches that the miniature on
this card can be moved during
a Movement sub-phase.
Resilience: This is a combination
of the miniature's body armour,
natural resistance and training.
The value on the card indicates
the number of Combat dice rolled
when a miniature is shot at.
Melee: A miniatures skill in hand-
to-hand fighting. This value is the
number of Combat dice added to
or subtracted from the total dice
rolled during Melee combat.
Shooting: This value is the number
of Combat dice added to or
subtracted from the total number
of dice rolled when the miniature
fires a gun or other ranged
weapon.
3

A CHARACTER is any miniature
on the board being managed by
one of the players. This includes
archetypes, agents and faction
miniatures.
Combat dice
All combats and other actions in Doctor
Who: Exterminate! are resolved using
Combat dice. These are specially
designed dice with three sides showing
hits , two sides showing defences
and one side showing a surge . These
results have various meanings depending
on the situation.
These dice are used in different number
ratios depending upon a miniatures skill
or other circumstances.
Vortex Nodes
Vortex Nodes are tokens that can be
collected by miniatures during a game
of Exterminate!. Characters can collect
a Vortex Node marker by just finishing
their movement in base contact with it.
Some Nodes will give the player only
Victory Points (VPs) whilst others can
also grant immediate advantages. There
are three types of Vortex Nodes: Black,
Time Anomalies and Spatial Disruptions.
4
Black Vortex Nodes: These are
a great resource of Victory
Points but do not grant any
other benefit to the miniature
that has claimed them.
Temporal Anomalies: When
a token is revealed as a
Temporal Anomaly, in addition
to claiming the VPs, the
miniature can immediately resolve a free
Shooting action. The miniature may then
complete its move normally.
Spatial Disruptions: When a
token is revealed to be a
Spatial Disruption, in addition
to claiming the VPs, the
miniature can immediately
move a distance equal to its value.
Vortex Node markers are placed during
set-up according to the scenario being
played.
Vortex Nodes may never be dropped
voluntarily, once you pick one up you
must guard it with your life.
The additional effects of a Vortex Node
are only applicable the first time they
are picked up. If a Vortex Node is
dropped for any reason, place this face
up to mark it has been picked before.
The Victory Points granted by Vortex
Nodes are only counted at the end of
the game.
Wound Tokens
Some characters or lifeforms
are more adept at surviving the
hazards of the Time Vortex by being
tougher or just simply lucky!
Miniatures with a wound value on their
card may take a wound token to
cancel out either a single Shocked or
Exterminated result.
If a miniature already has a number of
wound tokens equal to its wound value
it may take no further tokens and must
apply all shocked or extermination
results.
Under Fire Tokens
Every time a miniature comes under fire
from an enemy miniature, one token
is placed next to its base. Certain
firearms are so powerful, threatening or
effective that they place two tokens
instead of one.
A miniature receives tokens if at
least one Combat die result is rolled
against it during a Shooting sub-phase,
regardless of the actual effect during
that round of shooting.
During the Upkeep phase, miniatures
can roll to remove any tokens they
are affected by.
A miniature can only have a maximum
of two at any time. Any further
Under Fire markers received are
ignored.The table below shows the
effects of having one or two on a
miniature.
The miniature cannot Shoot
during the Shooting sub-phase.
The miniature can neither Move
nor Shoot during its activation.
However a miniature may still engage in
Melee combat if it is within engage
distance of an enemy even if it has
or . During each turn players can use their
If engaged by an enemy miniature
it must subtract 1 Combat dice for
each . rolls through the game.
Fate Tokens
Fate tokens represent those incidents of
good luck that save the day when things
are desperate and there seems to be no
way out.
Your starting pool of Fate tokens is
determined when you create your
faction. Various recruitment cards
give you one or more Fate tokens.
The total number of tokens is called
your Fate Pool.
Any Character can use their factions
Fate Pool, even if they did not directly
contribute to the pool themselves.
Fate Tokens can be used to:
Remove all Under Fire tokens from
one miniature.
Reroll any or all dice after they
have been rolled to resolve an
action.
Immediately recover a Shocked
miniature.
Exterminate an enemy Shocked
miniature during the melee round.
When multiple fate tokens are played
against a single miniature the player
with Initiative determines the order
of effect.
Battle Cards
Doctor Who: Exterminate! uses a deck
of 36 Battle cards. During the Set-Up,
shuffle the Battle card deck and deal five

Adventure Cards
Doctor Who: Exterminate! comes with
15 generic Adventure cards for both
players to use during their games.
In addition to the characters that
form their faction and the Fate points
provided by each Recruitment card, the
faction may start a scenario with up
to five Adventure cards. These can be
picked randomly from the Adventures
card deck provided in this boxed game
or they can be selected from the player's
own collection of Adventure cards.
Each Adventure card has all the relevant
rules for its use printed upon it. The
effects of some cards last for more than
one phase or turn whilst others are
discarded once used, and cannot be
used again during the game.
Finally, certain cards must be turned
over but not discarded when used and
can only be used again after being
recovered during the Upkeep phase (see
page 13).
Adventure and Recruitment cards for
existing miniatures in the miniatures
range for Doctor Who: Exterminate!
have been also included in this boxed
game so you have all relevant gaming
materials should you wish to expand
your collection.
 BATTLE RULES
Doctor Who: Exterminate! is a scenario-
driven skirmish wargame played
over a set number of turns in which
opposing players move and fight with
their miniatures in order to accrue the
greatest number of Victory Points during
a set number of turns.

Game Set-Up
After the players have decided which
scenario to play, it is time to set up the
gaming area, grab the counters and
create each players faction.
To create a faction, players must agree
on the number of Recruitment cards they
will be using. This is usually between one
and five.
Players arrange the desired scenery

FACTIONS
Humans, Aliens or Supernatural
beings in fact any denizens
of Time and Space are
options when choosing which
miniatures you wish to use to
play Exterminate! All miniatures
controlled by the same player
compose the player's faction.
2.1. Movement Sub-phase
Movement is a key aspect to achieving
particular objectives in Doctor Who:
Exterminate!. Whether its a Character
moving behind cover, gathering
Vortex Nodes or the Doctor and his
Companions trying to perfect a gadget.
Characters can be moved in any
direction up to the maximum number of
inches indicated on their Movement
profile with no restriction other than
certain terrain features and other
obstacles that can sometimes hinder
them. See rules for Scenery & Terrain on
page 14.
All players may pre-measure a
characters movement before committing
to the final position, but once a
character has been moved it cannot be
taken back.
You may move through miniatures from
your own faction with no penalty, but
you may not finish your move in contact
with their base or the model itself.
You may neither move through or finish
within one inch of a non-friendly model
in the Movement sub-phase.
To complete a movement action, place
the movement ruler, or a tape measure
flat against the base of the miniature and
move it up to the characters movement
value in inches.
8
2.2. Shooting Sub-phase
Starting with the active player, each
faction has a chance to shoot with their
characters. The shooting character is
called the attacker with the miniature
being shot at the target. To resolve a
shooting action, choose a character from
your faction, declare the target, and
follow these three steps:
Determine line of sight.
Check range.
Resolve the Shooting action: roll
dice for hits and resolve damage.
2.2.1. Determine Line of Sight
For the attacker to be able to shoot it
must be able to see its target referred
to as Line of Sight, or LOS. Use the width
of the movement ruler provided and
the distance between the two models
to determine the corridor that links the
attacker to the target. If there are no
enemy miniatures, obstacles or walls (see
page 14) even partially covered by the
ruler, then the shot is clear.
If there are any of the above elements in
this corridor, then the shot is inaccurate
and the target is obscured.
EXAMPLE
The Cyberman moves 3" out of his
4 towards the Dalek to end in
a position where it will be able to
engage in melee later in the turn.
Notice the measurement is made
from the front of the base to the
front of the base and must stop at
least one inch from the enemy
model.
3"
1"

RUNNING
If a character does not shoot
during the Shooting sub-phase,
it may run instead. After all, if
Doctor Who has one constant,
it is the amount of running the
Doctor and others have to do!
While running the character can
make a second movement action
during the Shooting sub-phase.
Running follows all the rules from
the Movement sub-phase and can
be hindered in the same way by
obstacles as described in Scenery
& Terrain on page 14.
Obscured Targets
The effectiveness of a shot can be
affected by a number of factors and
each one of them will increase the
difficulty to hit the target. If the width of
the ruler covers even partially an
obstacle between the shooter and the
target, we say it is an inaccurate shot.
The shooting action receives a penalty of
-1 for each obstruction. This may
mean that some shots become
impossible as the number of penalties
reduces the number of to 0
or less.
Obstacles in base contact
with the shooting
character do
not count as
obscuring
the target. The
character is using
the obstacle as
cover while trying
to score a hit.
Line Of Sight Is Blocked
If the entire corridor of
the shot is covered by an
obstacle, then the LOS
is blocked and the shot
may not be taken.
2.2.2. Check Range
Once the Line of Sight has been
confirmed, check the range to the
target.
All weapons have an effective range
described in inches in the weapons
profile . However, characters can
fire their weapons up to twice the
effective range but the shooting action
is then considered inaccurate with a
-1 penalty.
USING A TAPE MEASURE
Some players may prefer to use
a tape measure instead of the ruler
provided. In fact, certain ranges may
exceed the length of the ruler and a
tape measure can be very handy!
In this case, use the width of
the tape measure instead of the ruler
to determine the corridor of the shot
for the purposes of working out line
of sight and obscuring obstacles.
2.2.3. Resolving the Shooting Action
Assuming the target is in range the
player resolves the shooting action. To
do so, the attacker rolls a number
of Combat dice. The number of
dice to roll is the sum of:
Weapons value
(this is expressed as
the number of Combat
dice to be rolled).
Characters
modifier value
(a number of Combat
dice to add or subtract
from the total in the
characters stat line).
Minus one for every
obstacle or other rule
that makes the shot
inaccurate.
9
 The result of all the dice coming from
one weapon must be applied to one
single target unless the weapon or
character has the Burst or Blast special
trait. If more than one target is valid,
the attacking player may choose which
miniature receives the attacks.
The defender then rolls a number of
Combat dice based on:
Defenders value (this is a
number of to be rolled)
Plus one for cover
Every rolled by the defender
cancels a scored by the attacker. If
any are left, roll for damage as
explained on page 13.
Remember, any character that chooses
to not shoot during the Shooting sub-
phase may make an extra full move.
After all, not every character wants
to decimate the enemy or perhaps
has their own agenda or mission to
complete whilst the battle rages.
10
EXAMPLE
A Dalek has been shot at by a
Cyberman armed with a Cybergun
that has scored 3 . The Dalek
rolls 4 for its 4 value and
scores 1 which cancels one of
the scored. The other 2
remain and count as hits.
The attacker takes these two dice
and rolls them, scoring and .
Checking the damage results
and applying the best result, the
Dalek is now Shocked and must
be so marked. If it had been
Exterminated it would have
been removed from the table.
Playing Battle Cards During
a Shooting Action
Players can use Battle cards from their
hand to improve their chances at hitting
and defending when involved in a
shooting action.
After both players have rolled their
Combat dice, the attacker can play first
any Battle cards to boost its attack.
Once this is done the target player can
boost its defence with Battle cards
accordingly.
CLAIMING COVER
When a target is in base contact
with a piece of scenery that
obscures a shooting action
the miniature also benefits
from cover.
When behind cover, the target
can cancel a scored against it
during a shooting action with
as well as .
 2.3. Melee Sub-phase
Following Initiative order, in the Melee
sub-phase, the Active player can move
any of their miniatures that are within 2"
of an enemy miniature into base contact
and engage in close combat. This is an
engage movement and initiates a melee
action.
Once engaged, resolve each combat in
full, including damage resolution, before
moving on to the next.
To resolve a melee combat, both
combatants (attacker and target
character) roll a number of Combat
dice which is the sum of:
The characters melee weapon
value (this is expressed in a
number of Combat dice to be
rolled).
Combatant melee modifier
value (a number of Combat dice
to add or subtract from the total
in the characters stat line).
Other modifiers:
Engaging modifier: +1 to
the miniature that initiated the
combat.
Multiple combat: +1 for
each miniature after the first
that is attacking the same
target.
Compare the results obtained by both
combatants. The side that scored the
highest number of wins the melee
round.
All weapons showing 'C' in their range
value in the weapons profile table can
be used in melee (see Guide to the Time
Vortex, page 10).
The player that rolls the most has
won the melee. The winner then rerolls
the dice that hit and applies the best
result to the loser.
2.3.1. Melee Resolution
After resolving the melee action,
check the overall result and apply the
outcome:
All of the combatants on one side
are Exterminated. The winner
needs to do nothing else and the
melee ends.
All of the combatants on one side
are Shocked. The winner can
immediately use a Fate token or
an additional attack, if available,
to finish off a Shocked target.
The target is Exterminated and
removed from play. Any Shocked
miniatures left are pushed back
one inch by the winner and the
melee ends.
There are fully operative
combatants on both sides. The
attacking Characters - including
those that are Shocked - are
pushed back one inch by the side
that did not engage and the
melee ends.
Playing Battle Cards in Melee
Similarly as with the use of Battle cards
in shooting, after both players have
rolled their Combat dice, the attacker
can play first any Battle cards to
boost its attack.
Once this is done the target player can
boost its attacks with Battle cards
accordingly.
11
 MULTIPLE MELEE ATTACKS
Certain characters, weapons or special traits may grant the option to attack
more than once in melee. This ability is normally described as Melee (X) where
X is a number higher than one. Characters that can issue more than one melee
attack can decide to do this in two ways:

All for One:

A character with multiple melee attacks can use each additional attack to add
+1 to the total number of dice allowed by its weapon or its profile
modifier. All dice are rolled at once and any other modifiers apply normally.
A miniature with the Melee (2) trait would therefore add +1 die to its attacks,
Melee (3) would give +2 dice and so on.

One for All:

A character with multiple attacks may attack more than one miniature. Any
enemy miniature within one inch of the target is a valid additional target.
Once declared, roll all the dice for each attack separately and resolve the
outcome for each target. Targets get to respond normally to these attacks but
be aware that if the character using Melee (X) becomes
Shocked before the last round of attacks is resolved, it can
be Finished Off normally by the declared target that did
not resolve its attack yet.

EXAMPLE
Two Cybermen have engaged a Dalek. The
Cyberman Recruitment card has the Melee (2) special
trait which means they can issue two attacks instead of
one when engaged in melee. The Daleks have the Melee
stat of 2 .
The first Cyberman player decides to attack All for One
using the Melee (2) special trait, which grants him one
additional Combat die when attacking. The first
Cyberman (+5 ) engages the Dalek and rolls to hit
with seven Combat dice (5 for its melee value, +1
for engaging and +1 for the additional attack that
Melee (2) grants). The Dalek rolls 2 as a response.
All results from both rolls are compared, applying
damage if necessary. This concludes the first Cyberman
round of attacks. If the Dalek is still active, the second
Cyberman will attack All for One with eight Combat dice
(5 for its value, +1 for engaging, +1 for the
additional attack that Melee (2) grants and +1 bonus
for being the second miniature to attack the same target).

12

DAMAGE
After determining the final number of
remaining after a shooting or
melee attack; reroll that number of
dice and check the results as follows
applying the best outcome.
Flesh Wound: The character is
Fully Operative.
Shocked: Lay the model on the
spot. Shocked characters are
recovered during the Upkeep phase
(see next). Fate tokens can also be
used to recover a Shocked character
immediately after they have been
Shocked .
Exterminated: Remove the model
from the table immediately. Nothing
can be done to avoid this, unless a
Fate token is used to save it!
Finish Off!
During a shooting or melee action,
a Shocked enemy miniature can be
declared as the target of an attack.
When shooting, any non-cancelled
scored against a Shocked target can be
rolled twice on the Damage table to try
to Exterminate the character as usual.
The target applies its normally but
cannot Claim Cover (see page 10).
In melee, an attacking character will
automatically Exterminate its victim if at
least one attack is rolled against it.
3. UPKEEP PHASE
At the end of each turn, starting with the
active player, each player resolves the
following steps.
Recover Shocked miniatures
Roll to remove Under Fire tokens
Replenish Battle cards hand
Refresh Adventure cards
3.1. Recover Shocked Miniature
Starting with the player with the
initiative, all players stand their Shocked
characters back up.
3.2. Roll to Remove Under Fire Tokens
During this phase, each character rolls
one Combat die for every they have.
A player may remove an Under Fire
token for every scored.
A character with one Under Fire token
cannot move during the Movement sub-
phase. A character with two Under Fire
tokens cannot Move or Shoot during the
Action phase.
3.3. Replenish Battle Cards
Draw as many Battle cards as needed to
bring your hand back up to five cards.
Alternatively, do not replenish your hand
and recover one Fate token used during
the game. A player can only benefit
from this if the faction has fewer Fate
tokens than it started the game with.
Finally, you can discard all your hand
(which must contain at least three cards)
to receive one free Fate token.
3.4. Refresh Adventure Cards
During this phase you can attempt to
either Draw a new Adventure card from
the Discard pile or recover one or more
of your exhausted Adventure cards.
To attempt to recover an Adventure card
from the discard pile a player will roll
one Combat die. If the Die result is a
the player may take the first face down
Adventure card in the discard pile.
A player can recover an exhausted
Adventure card by expending a Fate
token. You can recover as many
exhausted cards as you have Fate
tokens. A recovered Adventure Card is
placed face up and can be used in the
next turn.

 APPENDIX
SCENERY AND TERRAIN
Doctor Who: Exterminate! can take place
anywhere in Time and Space. One
skirmish can be set amid the corridors
and living quarters of a space station,
high above a future Earth, then the
action can switch to the Victorian Era
with a clandestine battle waged across
the British Museum. Or perhaps a battle
for an alien world is more to your liking,
with twin suns, orange sky and plains of
red grass. The actual location of your
games is entirely up to you. Just use
your imagination to adapt your favourite
settings from the Doctor Who series to the
scenarios in the Guide to the Time Vortex.
All rules for movement and combat
assume that the battlefield is strewn
with small objects that do not hinder
the actions of the characters. However,
certain pieces of scenery do reduce
the mobility, visibility or the combat
effectiveness of the characters.
1. OBSTACLES
We consider obstacles to be a type
of scenery that presents a physical
barrier between the character and the
place they wish to move to, or between
the character and their target when
determining the Line of Sight to resolve
an attack.
Anything solid that lies in the way
of a miniature, except other friendly
miniatures, is an obstacle.
An obstacle higher than two Combat
dice stacked together is also a wall.
Common examples of obstacles are
enemy miniatures, vehicles, barricades
or large computer consoles!
14
A miniature cannot end its movement
on an obstacle, but can try to cross it.
To cross an obstacle a miniature should
have enough movement to reach the
other side. Roll one combat die and
apply the result below.
If the result is a , simply move
the miniature across. The
character has found an easy path
through the obstacle or has simply
jumped over it.
If a is scored, the miniature is
moved into base contact with the
obstacle. Perhaps the character
has changed its mind about
crossing or it needs to think about
a better way to get over it. Its
movement action ends there!
If a is scored, the character
cannot move at all. The miniature
stumbles and misses its movement
action.
If a miniature starts its activation already
in base contact with an obstacle, the
controlling player can roll two Combat
dice to try to overcome the obstacle
instead of one, applying the best result.
This also applies when running during
the Shooting sub-phase.
Alternatively, if the miniature starts
its activation in base contact with an
obstacle, it can climb it instead of crossing
it. See King of the Hill on page 15.
Obstacles can make shots which pass by
them inaccurate (see Shooting, page 8).
2. WALLS
Sometimes an obstacle is tall enough to
present a real challenge to overcome.
These obstacles act as impassable
barriers for which we use the generic
term walls.
Walls cannot be walked through or
jumped over, but instead must be moved
around. Walls can be a building or high
vehicles like a hover van, for example.
To check if an obstacle is also a wall,
stack two Combat dice together. If the
obstacle is taller than the height of the
two dice, the object is considered a wall.
A wall blocks all movement and LOS
through it.
3. KING OF THE HILL
The way Doctor Who: Exterminate! is
presented and the way it plays, invites
you to make a more cinematic use of
the scenery elements than just mere
obstacles. Reaching higher ground could
be the difference between life and death.
While on higher ground, the miniature is
considered the King of the Hill.
Jumping Onto Obstacles
At the begining of the movement, if
a miniature is in base contact with an
obstacle, instead of following the normal
rules for crossing, a character may
decide to jump onto it.
Jumping onto an obstacle counts as
the character's full movement and the
obstacle must be wide enough to fit the
model's entire base.
You can reposition a character on top of
an obstacle up to 2" in any direction.
To jump off, a character measures his
movement from his current position. This
costs no extra movement.
The only limit to the number of characters
that can stand on an obstacle is its actual
physical capacity.
Any melee attacks made against a
character on top of an obstacle are
resolved by engaging the obstacle itself
(move the attacking miniature so it ends in
base to base contact with the obstacle).
The King of the Hill receives a +1
bonus for being on higher ground.
EXAMPLE
Continuing with their Dalek hunt,
a Cyberman is trying to move straight
over a barrier to reduce the distance
for a future combat engagement.
The Cybermen player measures the
distance to where he wants the
Cyberman to move and rolls one
Combat die scoring a . Although
the Cyberman will not be able to
cross the obstacle during this action,
the controlling player can still move
the miniature so it ends its movement
against the obstacle. Ready to jump
over during a following action!
A miniature attacking a King of the Hill
never receives the +1 bonus that
miniature would normally receive for
engaging.
If two miniatures are engaged in a melee
action while on top of an obstacle neither
of them receives any bonuses or penalties
for engaging on higher ground.
SCENARIOS
Doctor Who: Exterminate! is played
using one of the scenarios provided in
the Guide to the Time Vortex and the
Adventures booklet.
Scenarios are won by scoring more
Victory Points than your opponent.
Each scenario explains the way VPs
are awarded and if factions have
any special rules that could affect the
rewards received.
As a general rule, you score one VP
for Exterminating an enemy model and
two VPs for Exterminating an enemy
factions Leader model. Of course,
the Archetype models, such as The
Doctor, his Companions and other
named characters are worth far more
VPs than a lowly grunt, so its always
worth expending resources to try and
Exterminate them!

 EPILOGUE
After reading these rules you are now ready to take to the Time Vortex, within which
your games will take place, the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, malleable nature of
reality that waits to be moulded.
Assume control of one of the many factions of the universe, from myriad alien races or
from the vast panorama of human history, all with their own agendas and plans, from
simple survival to galactic domination.
Play one-off scenarios or take your faction through a series of linked missions using
all your guile and cunning to make sure your faction comes out on top, fulfilling their
destiny within the realms of Time and Space.
Your next step is to take a look at the scenarios and extra information in the Guide to
the Time Vortex, gather your chosen miniatures and assemble your faction. Enjoy your
incursion into the Time Vortex and try to achieve your mission goals.
