The Jitters

An Unnerving new scenario

for Halloween
This is Not a Test
The Jitters
“It was dark, so we couldn’t see much of anything.
We were a couple clicks out of Crapsburg, and we
should’ve waited for daybreak, but the roadmaster
was anxious to get going. It’s insane to the travel
the broken roads at night, but yet there we were. We
were doing surprisingly fine for a while, until we got
to Deadman’s Hand. Our road ran right through it
and damn if that place ain’t creepy during the day, it’s
worse, much worse, at night. Gnarled trees look like
skeleton fingers grasping out of the earth. Massive
tree trunks grown right over old cars and tumbled
down walls. Everyone started to get jumpy once we
got there. Old Ed unloaded his shotgun right into a
tree. He said he thought it was a charging mondo. I
almost died of heart attack right there. But then the
howls started…”
Background
Under normal circumstances, the wasteland is littered with
death. Timeworn ruins, wrecked cars, dead trees, and the
unburied skeletons of the Last American; all can put even
the most jaded raider a bit on edge. Under the light of the
pale moon, with the howls of mutant creatures reaching
a crescendo, it can get worse - much, much worse. Two
jittery warbands have blundered into each other in the
darkness. Neither side wants to be there, but the threat of
the enemy overpowers their rising fear, for now anyway.
The Board
This scenario should be played on a 3' x 3' sized board*,
otherwise no particular set-up is required, but there
should be several pieces of area terrain, which could hide
a potential threat, placed evenly about the board. Any
particularly creepy pieces of terrain would be appropriate.
2
*The board size for this scenario is smaller than you might
normally see for a game of TNT. This is deliberate to make
the scenario more dynamic and deadly.
Mission
Wipe out your opponent’s warband while preserving your
own. If a warband drops below 25% of its starting number,
the remaining members of the warband are removed from
the board. Models removed in this way are not treated as
casualties for the purpose of experience points, rolling on
the Survival Table, or in any other way. They have simply fled
the battlefield.
The sole remaining warband is the winner.
Deployment
Players will deploy along opposing table edges. Players
should roll-off to see who will deploy their models first.
Their models may deploy anywhere up to 6" from their
selected board edge. For games involving more than two
players, use additional table edges or try to get an even
distribution so models do not start too near to each other.
Players will roll for initiative as normal.
Special Rules
The Jitters – Everyone is on edge and extra jumpy.
All Morale and Grazed tests suffer a -2 penalty.
Further, a model will flee off the board completely due
to a failed Morale test on a 1 or 2, not just a normal roll
of 1 (Fumble).
Under a Pale Moon – The Night Ambush rules are in
effect. These rules can be found under the Fighting
Between Uneven Warbands section of the main
TNT rulebook.

automatically occur for this scenario. Roll a D6 before
the start of the game. On a 1-3, roll on Hazards of the
Wastes; on a 4-6, roll on Creatures of the Wastes.
For those that like an extra challenge, the scenario can be
modified with the following special rule:
Blood Moon - The scent of blood has drawn wasteland
scavengers to the fray. Every time a model is killed roll
a D10. On a 6 or higher a wastewolf will be placed on
a random table edge. Driven mad by hunger and the
scent of blood, these wastewolves ignore the Pack
Mentality rule. Otherwise, they follow the normal rules
for wasteland creatures from the main rulebook.

Conclusion
The game lasts until one warband remains.

Rewards
The winning warband may redraw up to two cards from
the Wasteland Deck when determining income after a
campaign game. This is described further under Income in
