“Home, where I learned the truth about despair,
as will you. There’s a reason why this
prison is the worst hell on earth...
Hope. Every man who has ven-
tured here over the centuries
has looked up to the light and
imagined climbing to freedom.
So easy... So simple... And like
shipwrecked men turning to
sea water from uncontrollable
thirst, many have died trying. I
learned here that there can be no
true despair without hope. So, as I
terrorize Gotham, I will feed its people
hope to poison their souls. I will let
them believe they can survive so that
you can watch them clamoring over
each other to “stay in the sun.” You
can watch me torture an entire city
and when you have truly understood
the depth of your failure, we will fulfill
Ra’s al Ghul’s destiny...
We will destroy Gotham and then,
when it is done and Gotham is
ashes, then you have my per-
mission to die”

INTRODUCTION
BATMAN MINIATURE GAME is a new skirmish game, with an original gameplay based on action counters,
and a previous stage where figures actions are planned, as we explain later on.
The gameplay system is designed for both novice and veteran players. It has a strategic and dynamic orientation
that avoids complex mechanisms and makes it suitable for all kind of players.
This game is focused on DC Comics World, primarily in the Batman universe and the villains associated with
him.
GAME COMPONENTS
Batman MiniWature Game requires: a scenery which represents the city area, a few six-sided dice, counters, a
tape measure and Knigth Models Miniatures.
Knigth Models Miniatures accurately represent each of our game characters.
We must prepare any table or board with a minimum The counters can be represented by gems, chips,
of 90x90 length and place the scenographic elements tokens or even the dice. Please make sure that the

play the game.

measured from their closest volume point.
Almost all Batman Miniatures characters are humans
with a similar length (30 to 40mm aprox.). The size di-
fference between them is insignificant over the game
scale, which is why we consider all of them in a stan-
dard size unless it specifically describes on a character
that this is not the case.
The miniature size and volume is determined by the

CHARACTER CARD
All miniatures have their own Character Card. This card will not only describe all the character information
that you need to play, but it will also work as a special tool during the game.

CHARACTER PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS
All Batman Miniatures Game figures have their own particular principal characteristics, with their own abi-
lities and skills. Every characteristic has a numeric value, which will be the key to success during the game.
There are six principal characteristics:

By mutual agreement, the players must place all the scenery at their disposal and also must establish: which
elements are objects or difficult terrain, which small or vertical, etc.. They must also establish the objects that
can be manipulated and what is the result of it, if it is not covered on the scenario rules.

STRATEGIES (optional)
You can choose between a numbern of strategies to achieve your plans of victory. First choose strategies and
then follow this phases order:
A / Scenario election.
B / Urban Furniture.
C / Bands.
D / Objectives.
E / Start playing.
CHOOSING STRATEGIES
Each strategy has a value ranging from 1 to 3. Players can choose strategies for a maximum 3 value. Strategies
should be played in the indicated phase (value/phase):
• 3/A Global Plan – you can choose the scenario, instead a random pick. If both players choose this stra-
tegie they cancel each other.
• 2/C Fast Advance - Increases your deployment area 10cm. If you have two zones, increases 5cm each. If
both players choose this strategie they cancel each other.
• 2/C Ambush - Deploy all your band after the other player. If both players choose this strategie they cancel
each other.
• 1/C Patrol - You can place a miniature 10cm outside your deployment zone. If there is no zone, you gain
+1 to the entry roll.
• 1/C Reinforcements – you can wait till the “Raise the Plan” stage of the second round to deploy a minia-
ture if he gets a roll of 4+. You can deploy at any edge of the playing area which does not correspond to the
enemy deployment zone.
• 1/ A Change of plans - Roll two dice, move an objective as many cm as the sum of the roll.
• 2/? Informer - Cancels enemy strategy at the time it is used. A Informer can cancel another Informer.
• 2/E Early Bird - You choose who takes the lead in the first round without taking any counter
from the pouch. If both players choose this strategie they cancel each other.
• 2/E Battle Cry - Your Band flees (see Run Away) when your Reputation is reduced 80% or more.
• 3/C Perfect Plan - At the beginning of the game introduce 1 extra counter, of your Band, to determine
who takes the lead.
28
Phase A/ Scenario Election
Roll a die to see what scenario you will play.
SEWERS
GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE SEWER
To enter or exit a sewer you must spend 2 SC and 1 MC (as payment for a Difficult Movement and Manipulate
a manhole cover). Furthermore, in the round a character gets out of a sewer, its basic BMC is reduced to 0, so
if he wants to move he has to use MC. A character can enter a sewer any time during your turn if you are adja-
cent to it and pay the counter costs. Remove the miniature from the play area and leave him visible aside as a
reminder that he is inside the sewer system. Only a miniature per band can be inside the sewers at a time and
must pass at least one full round on the inside. At the next round you can pay again the same counter costs and
activate the miniature returning to the game by any sewer marker. Place the miniature next to a sewer marker,
it can move and attack, if still has Action Counters.
If a player has 1 or more miniatures adjacent to a Sewer marker, the opposing player can not
use it to leave or enter the sewer. To block the passage to a Big character you must have at least 2 miniatures
blocking the manhole.
At the beginning of the game, and before any miniature, both players must deploy alternatively, 1D3 Lamppost
markers. Starts the player with more markers. They can be placed anywhere in the playing area, 20cm. or more
from any other lamppost and more than 5cm from the edges.
The lampposts light a circle 10cm radio. Players should consider that light does not pass through solid obstacles
(walls, fences, containers, etc.) and must decide the shade areas.
29
Phase C/ BANDS
Both players have to divide his band in two groups of equal number of miniatures if possible. Toss a coin to
decide who deploys first. First player chooses a deployment area and places on it all the miniatures of one of its
groups. Then the other player places the miniatures of one of his groups in the opposing deployment area. First
player places miniatures of the another group and then the second does the same. Some scenarios may vary
this order or have several areas of deployment, these features come indicated in each of them. The miniatures
should be placed entirely within the corresponding area, but may be “Crouched”.
Phase D/ OBJECTIVES
There are four types of objectives, represented by markers, players must choose 3 of them but can not repeat its
type. The player that first deployed his band places one of his objectives, players take turns till all the objectives
are placed. The objectives must normally (see Loot) be placed in the deployment area of the enemy, but this can
vary depending on the objective type or the chosen scenario. The objectives must be placed at least 5cm away
from any edge of the playing area or another object.
“We come here not as conquerors, but as liberators, to return this city to the people.”
CONTROLLING OBJECTIVES
To control an objective must be at least a character adjacent to it, and no other characters or enemies adjacent
to that character or objective. Only take account the position of the characters at the end of the round in the
casualty phase.
Each objective provides, to the player who placed and control it, a number of Victory Points or VP. Some ob-
jectives, like Loot and Enigmas, can provide VP to the enemy.
LOOT (1VP)
Loot markers can be deployed 20cm off the enemy deployment zone (in neutral zone). Can be carried by the
characters, to take the Loot you must Manipulate the objective. Whenever you want to move, carrying the loot,
you must spend 1 MC. You can drop it any time and loot can be Stolen like a gun.

“Are you ready for some more? Explore! Find my challenges. And when you fail to solve them and lie blub-
bering like an ignorant child on the floor, you will know that The Riddler... is better than you."
Enigma markers can be deployed 20cm off the enemy deployment zone (in neutral zone). To solve an Enigma
you must Manipulate the objective and declare that you want to try to resolve it.
Request to the opposing player to say a number from 1 to 6 and roll a die.
• If the result is equal to that number, you resolve the riddle winning 3VP.
• If the result differs by one, the Enigma remains one more round in play and may retry to resolve it later.
Ammo Crate markers are considered Small Obstacles and Objectives. If an activated character is adjacent to an
ammo crate, you can Manipulate and take an “Ammo Magazine” (see Ammo).
The Titan container markers are considered Small obstacles and Objectives.If an activated character is adjacent
to an ammo container, you can Manipulate and take a “Titan Dose”.
If a character has a Titan Dose may use it, in the Raise a Plan phase, to add 1 to all values of its Basic Skills
until the end of the round. A character can only take a dose during the game, because a second will kill him.
31
END GAME
The game ends at the end of the round indicated in the scenario rules or when a band Runs Away.
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
RUN AWAY
At the end of a round, when the "reputation" of a band is reduced by 70% or more counting casualty and KO
miniatures, that band player must choose a standing character and immediately take a Willpower Roll. If you
pass it, you may continue playing another round, otherwise the Band flees and the game ends immediately.
When a band flees, the opposing player takes as many VP as many rounds remain to play, unless both sides
Run Away in the same round.
The winner is the player with most VP at the end of the game.
At the end of each round, in the Casualty phase, players must add the obtained VP by Objectives and casual-
ties. When the game is over sum all PV obtained in each round to find the winner.
