Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the first of a three part linked scenario. Miners at a gold mine have gone on strike and the mine owners have dispatched some armed thugs to retake the mine. Ricardo and the rest of the 'Bad Hombres' has heard about the strife and spy an opportunity to loot some gold. Some Native American braves see this as an opportunity to regain their ancestral land back too. Each team had 5 members and they each had different objectives in this scenario: The armed thugs would receive 2 points of Renown for each miner killed or runoff. They would receive 10 points of Renown if at the end of the game they controlled the mine. Ricardo and the 'Bad Hombres' would receive 5 point of renown for each bag of gold they exit the table with. The miners would receive 5 point of renown for each bag of gold they exit the table via the opposite corner with. They would receive 10 points of Renown if at the end of

Well April came and has nearly gone. Despite the Easter holidays, I did find some time to get some painting done. First up was the latest expansions for the board game 'Star Trek: Away Missions'. These two expansions introduce the original Enterprise bridge crew to the game. Spock, Kirk and McCoy Chekov and Sulu Uhura, Scotty and Leslie Completing these two expansions gave me nudge to complete the rest of the Next Generation crew too. Riker, Picard and Shelby La Forge, Data and Worf Wesley, Troi and Beverly I did manage to complete some non Away Missions painting too. I picked up some Twi'lek style Smugglers from OttsWorkshop on Etsy. Here's the first one I have painted. These are well printed miniatures and an absolute joy to paint. Also from Etsy, were some robots and human civilians printed by HeadBunnyGames. These are very cheap figures to buy and it shows with the print quality. The print layering is very obvious with the human figures and their faces lack definit

Aa always, a Star Wars version of a scenario from the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the third scenario "Massacre at Briar's Bend". An Imperial Army vehicle has suffered a power loss and has been left stranded in hostile territory. A distress signal has been sent out, but it will be some time before assistance will arrive. A local native tribe have spotted the stricken vehicle and plan a revenge attack on the Imperial invaders. The natives start in two groups of 5, in the opposite corners not covered by woods. To add a bit of drama to the game, the game length would only be determined at the start of Turn 6. Rolling a D10, a result of 1-6 would mean the game lasts 6 turns, any other result would the number of turns the game lasts. The natives on the other side of the river used both their turns to advance to the river. Unfortunately, they were spotted by some Imperial Troopers, whose blaster fire was enough to inflict some casualties.
