From the Shadows
The Crimson Midnight have become experts at attacking out of the shadows of buildings in urban environments. They seem to emerge from nooks and crannies and strike with speed a surprising speed and deadly efficiency.

If you choose to field the Crimson Midnight, during the deployment of terrain, you may place and additional piece of terrain which must be a manmade structure which a unit can enter (house, manor, inn, tower, shrine etc.) on the deploying player’s half of the table. This building will not have any special rules beyond standard building rules. There must be at least one manmade structure on the table top.
