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.

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...
