Final Flight?
Word got through to Johnny Platypus that Lady Elaine and the Germans had been spotted heading towards the local airport.
The Platypus team decided to stake out the airport and attempt to rescue Lady Elaine from the German team. Both sides had to be careful though, the local Constabulary were on patrol and would take a dim view of any gunfire.
Turn 1
Moses spotted Séraphine escorting towards the waiting plane. He whistled for his team to join him. Johnny Platypus taking the opportunity to take down a patrolling German soldier.
Turn 2
Digger Bob spotted Leutnant Heidrich and decided to engage him in a fight. Unfortunately for the 'Old Timer', Leutnant Heidrich knocked him to the ground. Laney leapt to his rescue,but only succeeded in annoying the German officer.
The German soldiers (D8 Grunts) took to the high ground. This gave them a full view across the airport.
Turn 3
Moses tried to snatch Lady Elaine away from Séraphine and Oberst Freudenberger. Getting into a 3-way fistfight led to him suffering a 'Shaken' token.
Elsewhere, Leutnant Heidrich knocked out Laney. This led her enraged husband Stanley to attack him.
Digger Bon got up in a daze and tried to get his bearings.
Turn 4
Seeing Séraphine trying to bundle Lady Elaine into the plane, Johnny Platypus rushed to intervene. He got into a fight with Oberst Freudenberger and managed to knock the German leader down.
Seeing their leader knocked down, the German troops stationed on the roof opened fire resulting in Moses being knocked out of the game.
Of course this gunfire drew the attention of the patrolling constables. They rushed to the scene and opened fire on the German troops.
Turn 5
The airport was now the scene of a 3-way gunfight. Johnny Platypus and Digger Bob taking hits from German gunfire.
Ironically, the only German casualties came from Constabulary gunfire.
Turn 6
In one last vain attempt, Johnny Platypus tried to reach Lady Elaine. However, he was knocked down and wounded by Séraphine.
With no-one to stop her, Séraphine jumped into the plane alongside Lady Elaine. The pilot gunned the engine and the plane taxied towards the runway.
The German team were again the victors in this game, with another dismal showing for the Platypus team.
Where were the Germans taking Lady Elaine to? Find out in the next adventure.
