Ambush at the Canyon - Star Wars Redux

-
What is 'The Mandalorian'? To me, it's a spagetti western in space. So with that in mind, we decided to play the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenarios as a western and then as a Star Wars themed game. Again, we used the first scenario 'The Waterin' Hole', with one of the teams hiding in the canyon with their shuttle.

With the scenario selected, we then picked teams. One team led by Mando himself. The other team made up from various figures in my collection.

The Mando Team

The Raider Team

So teams were selected. The 'Mando' team were the attackers and started in the high ground, with starting at a table edge. The 'Raider' team were the defenders and were postioned around the shuttle.


"I learned you can't control everything. You've got to roll with the dice sometimes." - Anthony Johnson.

Mando activated first with the 'King of Spades' and used his two actions to shoot at the defenders. Rolling on a D12, Mando rolled a '10' and a '12'. With his rifle being 'Deadly', both defenders were 'Out of the Fight'. So, two dice rolled and two 'Raider' team members eliminated.


The only consolation for the 'Raider' team was that the 'Crazy Alien' got into a fight with a Wookie and got put 'Out of the Fight'.


The following turn, Mando continued to be pain. He successfully tracked down the Wookie and knocked him 'Out of the Fight'.


The Tusken Chief managed to get the 'drop' on the 'Crackshot' inflicting a wound and knocking him down. This led him getting into a long melee (5 turns) with IG-11, with neither being inflict any damage on each other.


The remaining 'Raider' gang members used the available cover to advance on the 'Mando'. The Tusken Chief got pushed back out of melee with IG-11 and hid from Mando.


Free from melee combat, IG-11 sought to hunt down the Tusken Chief. Elsewhere, my Weequay engaged with Mando in melee and suffered some wounds in the process. Greedo consistently failed to hit anything with his Blaster Pistol.


Eventually, IG-11 managed to advance on the wounded Tusken Chief and put him 'Out of the Fight'.

This was fun game to play and Mando and IG-11 both really lived up to their respective reputations. Both were the sole remaining members of the 'Mando' team and accounted for the three 'Out of the Fight' results and ultimately the win for eliminating the Tusken Chief.

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
