He's out back - Star Wars Redux

-

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead'. This time a variation of the "Jack's out back" scenario played with a Star Wars vibe.

Back from the previous adventure is Mando, IG-11 and the rest of there crew. This time they've been hired to bring in a bounty on a Trandoshan and his crew.

Mando and his crew have tracked down the Trandoshan and have patiently waited for a moment to catch him on his own.

The Trandoshan crew

They spot the Trandoshan heading towards the outhouse and take their chance to capture him. Mando activates first, his first action to move to the outhouse, his second action demolishes the outhouse door (that D12 proving very useful!).

The Trandoshan strikes back, engaging Mando in close combat and successfully pushing back and inflicting Shock on Mando.

Shooting from a high position, the Insect Bounty Hunter shot at Mando and forced him to duck back behind some rocks. Mandalorian armour proved to be very ineffective in this game.


The trio of Gamorreans (Grunts) charged into close combat. Unfortunately, for the two that engaged the Crazy Alien, they were quickly dispatched. The remaining Gamorrean charged IG-11, who had just shot down the Trandoshan.


The Crazy Alien then charged down the remaining Gamorrean and swiftly dispatched him. The remaining characters exchanged blaster fire (pew pew!).


Despite lots of characters being caught out in the open, blaster fire proved typically inaccurate. 

IG-11 engaged the Trandoshan in close combat, with neither inflicting any hits on the other. Seeing their boss in trouble, both Snaggletooth and the Twi'lek Major Domo tried to rush over to him. The Twi'lek got gunned down and Snaggletooth finally got IG-11 in his sights - only for his blaster to malfunction!


The Twi'lek Major Domo played the 'Queen of Hearts' and healed himself. He got up of fthe floor, fired his blaster pistol twice and missed. For all his efforts, he got gunned down again.

IG-11 finally manged to subdue the Trandoshan - now to get him off the table!



Snaggletooth repaired his blaster and chased down the retreating IG-11. Firing twice, Snaggletooth missed both times.

Mando fired at point blank range at Snaggletooth and missed both times.

The Insect Bounty Hunter (still up on the roof) tried his best to stop IG-11. Like all his shooting attempts in this game, they missed the target.



The Trandoshan was safely escorted off the table by IG-11, handing the win to Mando and his crew.

This really was a game of 'what if'. Mando ended up being a non-entity in this game, consistently failing armour roles and ducking back into cover. IG-11 did suffer hits and did fail armour rolls. However, poor rolling on the Wound table meant he just suffered from Shock and being 'Soulless' ignored Shock. The rest of the characters proved unable to hit the proverbial 'barn door'.

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...
