Trash Run

-

The message cam down from the higher ups in the corporation. Another upstart gang was beginning to cause problems.

After our success in the previous mission, we were instructed to perform a 'hit' on the upstart gang.

The plan was simple, swoop in, perform a 'hit' and get out quickly (the mission objective was to stay alive and eliminate at least 14 of the opposition).

Turn 1 - d6 H-SEC deploy.

The crew approached the gang HQ and sought to take out the patrolling sentries. Unfortunately, shooting proved to be inaccurate or ineffective.
Turn 2 - The Ronin takes up a sniping position.

On the right-hand side of the playing area, the Ronin moved to the available high ground and took the chance to snipe the opposition. The Razor successfully engaged a sentry in melee and advanced. On the left-hand side, the Sawbones and the Splicer took out the remaining sentries.


Turn 2 - More d6 H-SEC deploy.
 

Turn 3 - Foolhardy d6 Gangers seek out the crew.
 
From elevated positions, the crew began to take down the advancing d6 H-SEC, however the H-SEC proved to be surprisingly resilient.
 

Turn 3 - d6 Gangers advance on the crew.

Turn 3 - d8 H-SEC deploy

Turn 4 - Our Razor engages some gangers in melee combat (and does badly!).
 
Some newly arrived d8 H-SEC deployed just below the Ronin.  This was an opportunity to use a frag grenade and the opportunity was taken. The crew were now narrowly short of achieving their objective.

With some d6 H-SEC hiding in the shadows, the Razor engaged them in melee combat. Despite her skills, the H-SEC put up a good fight, inflicting some wounds in the process.


Turn 4 - More d8 H-SEC arrive.

Turn 4 - The remaining d6 H-SEC hunt down the crew.
With increasing numbers on their side, the crew managed to inflict the required number of casualties. So mission achieved as far as the objectives were concerned.

As we had time, we played out getting the crew of the table. This ended up being a total victory for the H-SEC with the sheer weight of numbers overwhelming the crew. Only the Sawbones escaped unscathed.

    Good looking game. Sounds like Command should have ordered a 'tactical withdrawal' much sooner though. Thanks for posting.

      Many thanks for your comment. The objective of the scenario was to eliminate 14 of the opposition, which was achieved. Given we had extra time and given the location of the crew, we decided to play out the scenario to see what happened, with the result documented above.

      However, strictly speaking we achieved the mission objectives.

We're all going on a Tribble hunt!

-

Inspired by the 'Attack Tribble' that appeared in an episode of Star Trek: Picard, I found some suitable miniatures that would lend themselves to gaming. The Attack Tribble from Star Trek: Picard I purchased these Triblite sculpts (designed by Lost Heresy) from a TwistedPinnacle3D on Etsy . The sculpts needed a little TLC upon arrival, as a few of the Triblites were misprinted. Also, some of the base rims had broken and neded repairing. Triblite Queen and Swarms protect their nest. More Triblite Swarms. I managed to create some Xenos Rampant stats for my Klingons and Triblites and had a quick game with them both. Klingons attack the Queen. Triblite Swarms charge some Klingons. Klingons find themselves surrounded by Triblites.

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

28mm 3d printed Star Trek style warp shuttle

Earlier this year, there was a Kickstarter run by 2nd Dynasty for some 28mm compatible spaceships. I was pleased to see that one of the ships (a shuttle) was available as a Warp Shuttle variant and looked very suitable for Star Trek. However, my initial interest was then dampened by the fact that the Kickstarter was just for the files and that you would have to print the ships yourself. Not having a 3d printer, I let my interest wane. My interest was recently renewed by a couple of threads on Lead Adventure Forum and The Miniatures Page. Another wargamer had one of the 2nd Dynasty ships custom printed for him. More importantly the printer they used was based in the UK. Having found their website ( https://www.proteus3dmodelling.com/ ), I sent them an email asking if they could print the Warp Shuttle version. Imagine my joy when they replied with a yes! Proteus 3D Modelling were very professional and kept informed with updates and pictures of my shuttle. Additionally, they consulte
