89: Ambush

Source: Archive Pestilens Setting: Mordheim (or anywhere) Author: Andrew "Boss Orc"
Broheim notes: Defender in centre, attacker everywhere else.

Some more devious gangs use the element of surprise as a safer alternative to a drawn out battle of attrition. These gangs are often smaller than their rivals and use the surprise to their advantage.
