The Showdown

-
Took the chance to have some lockdown solo Star Wars gaming.
 
Having escaped the implementation of 'Order 66', Jedi Knights Will Jon-Si and Seren Lil-Ro, find themselves marooned in the Outer Rim. Arriving in a sleepy backwater, the Jedi Knights discover that the town is under the thumb of a local pirate, who run the town as their own private fiefdom.

After trying to maintain a low profile, the Jedi find that they cannot look the other way. It's time to take action.


High Noon!
I used the Fistful of Lead Solo rules to run the Pirates. As a result, this led to some Pirates charging Will Jon-Si in close combat.


Judicious use of Force pushes, led to the Pirates being pushed back and suffering multiple Shock tokens.


One of the Pirates shot Seren Lil-Ro in the back. Rolling on the Wound chart led to her going 'Out of the Fight'. One Jedi left to face three Pirates.


Another successful hit on a Jedi, fortunately causing just a wound.


Despite being wounded and suffering from shock, Will Jon-Si managed to hold his ground - successfully passing his Recovery roll.


Having the highest card, the remaining Pirate fired his blaster at the Jedi. Rolling a miss, this gave the Jedi the opportunity to deflect the errant shot back at the Pirate. Success and rolling a '10' on the Wound chart led to the Pirate going 'Out of the Fight'. The Jedi had won!

Last Jedi Standing
A close result, closer than the Jedi expected. With Seren Lil-Ro recovering, the Jedi are one step closer to cleaning up the town.

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

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.

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
