    LANDSCAPE
 
    10.9 THE GREAT MUSEUM
 

    This was the age when the imperial nations plundered the cultural wealth of poorer and savage nations to display to an admiring public. It is a classic place to have objectives (9.1.1).
Benefits:Plenty of cover.
Hazards:May quickly attract the attention of the Authorities (9.2.5).
Suggested Terrain:A series of large chambers with lots of display cabinets and exhibits.



9.2.5 THE AUTHORITIES By the end of turn 6, the noise of the battle has attracted unwanted attention from the local Authorities. A Chief Inspector, a Sergeant and six Constables from Scotland Yard (or the local equivalent) will arrive in the centre of a random table edge equipped as shown in 8.3.6. they will move towards the closest figure and begin making arrests. If there are multiple figures, they will break up into two sections – one led by the Chief Inspector and the other by the Sergeant. They will continue until the game ends or they are all taken out of the game. The Chief Inspector will have the Fearless Talent and the Sergeant the Tough Talent. Any figure that they take down will be considered to be unconscious, not dead, and handcuffed to the terrain.
