Sergeant John Burke also served on Mars but was
dismissed for 'excess enthusiasm' in the suppression of
Martian civilian unrest. He is a brute of man who is
known for his motto "the dead commit no more crimes".
His partner in the Specials is Sergeant Elias Jones who
is his complete opposite. Jones is a very pious man who
prefers to use the power of God to 'persuade' villains to
come quietly. Most of the Constables fear Burke but are
terrified of Jones.
The Constables are known in the Metropolitan service as
the 'last chancers'. These are all men who, if it were not

The Constables are known in the Metropolitan service as
the 'last chancers'. These are all men who, if it were not
for the need to keep refilling the ranks of the Specials,
would have been dismissed or even prosecuted. They are
hard-drinking, hard-fighting men, generally hated by the
people whom they protect from harm.

• Any Constable can take a Carbide Lamp [+3 pts]
• Any figure can exchange their English All-Electric
Truncheon for an Edison Arc Truncheon [+3 pts]
• One Constable can exchange their shotgun for an
Edwards Patent Gum Gun [no change in pts]
• Up to three Constables can be issued with a single
gas grenade each [+6 pts]
• Any Constable can be issued with a single smoke
grenade each [+2 pts]
Special equipment
Rubberised Coats (2 points)
Ostensibly to keep the worst of the slime and detritus of
London's foul underbelly from their uniforms these actually
act as reasonable armour and give limited protection
against Arc weapons. They are Armour 8 against most
attacks and Armour 9 against Arc weapons.
The Edwards Patent Gum Gun (5 points)
An experimental weapon presented for trial to the
Specials. The two pressurised tanks small enough for one
man to carry have chemicals that when combined at the
nozzle produce a jet of fast hardening gum that coats a
villain soon rendering harmless.
In game terms it is a weapon with a +2 attack bonus and a
9" range that ignores all except magneto-static armour. A
would have been dismissed or even prosecuted. They are
hard-drinking, hard-fighting men, generally hated by the
people whom they protect from harm.
