PLAYING WITH FEWER THAN 4 PLAYERS

The Reichbusters want their teammates alongside them on the alien world, just as they do in normal missions.
More than ever, in fact. However, they will try their best whatever the odds, and you can play Not of this Earth!
missions with fewer than 4 players.
When playing with 1-3 players, you have a choice. One option is to share out the four Heroes between the
players, with some controlling more than one. Simply take turns with each Hero (rather than each player)
in the normal way. There is no need for additional rules. Alternatively, you can play 1-3 player games with 1
Hero per player. With 3 players and 3 Heroes, everything functions as in a 4-player game. However, with 1-2
players taking 1 Hero each, there is an additional rule to help you:
If you are playing a mission using the Not of this Earth! tracker, place it on its “8 rounds” side. If you have not
completed the objective(s) before the round marker reaches the end of the mission tracker, you lose the game.
Once you have completed the objective, finish the current round as normal. Then, instead of advancing the
round marker, flip the mission tracker to its “6 rounds” side and place the round marker on the first “round”
space. If you have not escaped the alien world before the round marker reaches the end of the mission
tracker, you lose the game.
During the game, at the start of the end-of-round phase, 1 Hero may take a basic move action. This extra free
action is subject to the normal rules, but does not count as part of the player’s turn (so they may not play
additional cards, the action will not end ongoing Action card effects, etc.).

of the mission tracker before the Heroes complete their N11a N23b
mission, the Heroes lose.

Line of sight
The Reichbusters only carry small tactical flashlights, and
their light does not penetrate far into the gloom of the
alien tunnels. For this reason, line of sight is limited to the
Hero’s or unit’s own area and all adjacent areas that are
not separated by impassable walls. An area that is not in Do not flip the token in N11a, because it is still in
line of sight of any Hero is considered to be in darkness. Brick’s line of sight.

Clearing areas and spawning enemies Environment tokens

Do not place as you would normally. Instead, when you
spawn enemy units from a Spawn token, flip the token to
show its Cleared side. This means that some areas may
have multiple tokens on them, while other areas
through which Heroes pass have none.
At the start of each mission, shuffle the Environment
tokens, facedown, and place one in each area indicated on
the mission map. The rest of the tokens will not be used
in this mission. When a Hero first moves into line of sight
of an Environment token, flip the token over and apply its
effects to the area it is in.

 The Alien Portal
The alien portal is an extremely
volatile piece of equipment, and
cannot be used without harnessing
the awesome power of vril.

When you place the alien portal, place

Claudine, who has a line of sight to the unit.
The Not of this Earth! RAID cards have been
designed to work together to provide balanced
RAID missions on the alien world.
In terms of rules, there is nothing stopping you
from mixing them together with the RAID cards
from the core box. However, doing so poses a
few problems from a thematic perspective, and
some combinations may also result in rather
unbalanced games. Some missions will work fine,
but others might end up with enemy units able
Enemy spawns
to move through closed doors despite having no
hands, or there might be an alien world with
no alien units! It could also lead to failed
spawns, due to the way that level 2 spawning
is handled in the alien world. At the end of
the day, if you’re OK with this sort of random
oddity then you’ve got a bunch more options to
experiment with!

As Brick has a line of sight to this area, it is not

considered to be in darkness. As a result, the
enemy patrol cannot appear from this area.

Objective token.

SPECIAL RULES
Place the facedown Dossier Objective token and a faceup vril orb in the objective
area. Only Heroes that are available before Mission 4: Altaring the Status Quo
may be chosen for this mission.

MISSION COMPLETE
The dossier you found mentioned the creation of some kind
of “portal”. Gathering up the documents and the orb, your
team pushed on until you found such a device, now dormant.
Clearly, the Doktor escaped through the so-called portal
to wherever those creatures came from.
A Reichbuster never backs down from a challenge, so you
power up the device and prepare to give chase.

Objective token.

SPECIAL RULES
Shuffle card NE007 back into the alien world noise deck for this mission.
Shuffle together the Dossier Objective token and 2 False Objective tokens. Place
1 facedown at each location shown on the map. Place the Exit token as indicated.

MISSION COMPLETE
The dossier you found explains what’s going on
here. These otherworldly caverns are inhabited
by creatures that use vril as easily as we
breathe. Although one of the Vrilmeisters wants
to harvest the aliens for weapons, Doktor Kopff
seeks to study them further, regarding them
as a superior lifeform. That won’t go down
well with Nazi High Command! The dossier also
mentions Kopff’s proposal to create a hybrid of
both species, though his experiments seem to
have been denied. Thank goodness! Mind you,
with his back against the wall, you need to
find Kopff now, before he does something crazy.

Objective Complete token. Vrilmeister Doktor Kopff See card 1
NE032

SPECIAL RULES
Place Doktor Kopff and his detail in the objective area
(N19b). Make the area Suspicious. When Doktor Kopff is
removed from play, replace him with 4 faceup Objective
Complete tokens in his area. A Hero that can draw line
of sight to an Objective Complete token may add it to an
item slot on their dashboard.

MISSION COMPLETE
With whatever the Doktor transformed into now
eradicated, the aliens around him are already
descending into confusion. You should get moving now,
before they rally and set about putting your team
in the ground too. Unfortunately, they’ve already
blocked off the way you came in, so you’ll need to
blaze a new trail back to the portal, and quickly!

MISSION OBJECTIVES J Shrieker See card 1

At least one Hero must escape through the

alien portal. No Objective token is required
in order to exit the map.

SPECIAL RULES
Place the portal on the exit (N1a),
and place an additional on it
(making a total of 2).

MISSION COMPLETE
Not only did you get the portal up and running before you were
overwhelmed, some quick thinking allowed you to overload the
device, ensuring that it would explode once you were through.

Seconds after you arrived back in Castle Wewelsburg, the

portal blew apart, shutting down the Vrilmeister’s operation
in the alien world for now. As the Nazi forces scramble
to deal with the explosion, your team have enough of a
distraction to slip out unseen. Good job, Reichbusters! Very
good job indeed.

Continue your campaign with Mission 4: Altaring the Status Quo.
