Chapter 2 - Star Wars Galactic Heroes AAR

-
Following on from Chapter 1, the mysterious Jedi has asked the group to undertake another mission.

Mission Briefing

The group have been tasked with escorting some medicine to a settlement on a Swamp Planet. However, the local pirates want that shipment.



After successfully avoiding the pirate ships in the system, the group managed to land near the settlement. Getting to the settlement would mean the medicine case would be protected by their shields. Of course, the shields could only be lowered once the pirates were gone.

The group spent 4 RP to recruit two new team members.

I spy...
However, the pirates have been tracking them and plan to ambush the group before they get to the safety of the settlement.

Here there be Pirates!

A pirate appeared out the jungle, swinging his flamer in the direction of the group guarding the medicine. Although hits were scored, only a wound and shock token were generated.

"Flame on!"

Patting down the flames, the group moved on to try and reach the settlement. Unfortunately, one of their number was hit by pirate fire. To make matters worse, the person carrying the medicine case was then hit and the result was an 'Out of Action'. The case was free for the pirates to grab!

Ouch!

A quick play of the 'Queen of Hearts' meant that the recently acquired wound was removed. The healed figure gaining retribution on the pirate with the flamer, putting him 'Out of Action'.

The case is secure

The group secured the medicine case again, making sure any pirates were dissuaded of coming close.

"I see you"

 Despite losing their leader, the pirates continued to pursue the medicine case.

Nearly there!

The groups leader took ownership of the medicine case and headed towards the settlement. Before the settlement could lower it's protective shield, a pirate burst out of nowhere! With the pirate firing his pistol blindly in panic, the pirate took out the groups leader. The medicine case was available again.

'Click, click, click'

The remaining members of the group headed toward the medicine case whilst fending off attacks from pirates.

Home run

Finally a member of the group made it to the crate. Deft use of a blaster put paid to the pirate and the medicine case was successfully delivered.

Conclusion

The group successfully delivered the medicine case to the settlement. However, success came with a price with three of the group recovering from their wounds and not available for the next mission. The group received 5 RP.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the ...

Massacre at Briar's Bend - A Fistful of Lead Game

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the third scenario "Massacre at Briar's Bend". This time, Marshal Bill and his Posse get to have a rest, as for this scenario, it is Native American Braves versus the US Cavalry. A Cavalry patrol has set up camp amongst some rocks by a river. The Cavalry are armed with (not so trusty) carbines and pistols. In this scenario, if a carbine suffers a '1' when shooting, the player rolls a dice and if the result is odd, then suffers an additional 'out of ammo' token. The Braves start in two group 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 Campsite The Braves on the other side of the river used both their turns to advance to the riv...

Dead Set Britain

Cruising through the empty streets, Jezza and the gang stumbled upon a promising spot for exploration: three houses and a construction site that looked ripe for looting.   They pulled up in the Transit and quickly devised a plan. Jezza and Captain Slow would tackle two of the houses, while Hamster and Stig would take on the remaining one and the construction site. Turn 1 Captain Slow sprinted to the first house. Finding the front door locked, he took a chance and kicked it in with a crash. Jezza bolted past him, heading straight upstairs. Meanwhile, Stig leapt out of the Transit and dashed to take cover behind a maroon Rover parked on the street.   Hamster quickly realized the commotion had attracted the attention of the zombies nearby. Without hesitation, he pulled out his trusty pistol and fired at one of the undead. He missed, but the shot did its job—drawing the zombies toward him instead. Turn 2 Jezza and Captain Slow charged upstairs tow...
