Let's take a look at month 1's Prison Map from the Batman No Man's Land Set.


Prior to your first event, your players will declare their allegiance to one of the six No Man’s Land gangs.  The available gangs to choose from are GCPD, Batman, Joker, Two-Face, Killer Croc or Black Mask, each represented by their own unique symbol.  They are now fighting for turf on behalf of their chosen gang!

In the Month One OP kit is a map of Gotham City with six sections identified as No Man’s Land territories.  Each month, the OP kit for that month will contain maps of that month’s territory, and your players will battle on those maps for control of that territory.  At the completion of the event, the gang with the most accumulated event points has now conquered that territory for their gang, and tags that location on the Gotham City map with their Gang Token.

It is important to keep a running total of accumulated event points for both your players and their chosen gang.  At the end of month 6 of the No Man’s Land Organized Play series, the Gang with the most territory wins a special prize for the three gang members with the most points.

The first territory up for grabs in the No Man’s Land OP series is Blackgate Prison, and will be played on the Blackgate Prison (pre-quake) map.

The Blackgate Prison (pre-quake) is a fairly open, two level map.  Both players starting areas are in cell blocks on the elevated level, and more cells line the walls on the outside edges of the maps.   All cells contain a square of hindering terrain.  The middle of the prison block is a level lower with two “bridges” running across it the short way.  Stairways are in all four corners of the lower level, somewhat protected by the elevated terrain.

Each month, the map for that month will have a suggested scenario for it, to represent the pre-quake and post-quake change of the territory being fought for.

Quake : At the end of each players turn, that player rolls 2d6.  On a result of 3 or less, replace this map with the Blackgate Prision (post-quake) map.  Characters are places in the same square they currently occupy on the new map.  Any character that now is illegally placed is dealt 1 unavoidable damage and moved to the next closest square it can occupy by its controller.

The Blackgate Prison (post-quake) map has the same basic lay out.  Most of the lower level has now been flooded and is now water terrain.  Both “bridges” have now sustained damage and can’t be traversed without some help.   The walkway on the second level around the cell block has also taken damage from the quake and is no longer a continuous path.  Fallen debris has created a few more ways for grounded characters to move between elevations.
