Central America, a deserted airstrip in the middle of nowhere, soon to become a scene straight out of an 80s action movie.... Three groups converge on this location all with their own agenda:

General Zolo and his gang - Arms dealers and all round naughty boys, dressed for the 80s with shoulder pads, espadrilles and pastel coloured T shirts join the game armed with nothing but pistols, Uzis and knuckledusters. They are trading weapons for drugs.

Danny Trejo and representatives of the Diosa Blanca cartel, trading drugs for weapons. These guys were properly tooled up, SMGs, LMGs, grenade launchers etc.

US Marine Recon Team Alpha, on a Black operation with kill orders to assassinate anyone and everyone with extreme prejudice...


So the scene was set, using our go to rules A Fistful of Lead with modifications for modern firearms etc we set about creating havoc and mayhem in homage to the likes of Dolf Lundgren, Arnie and any other 80s action hero.  ;)

Oh and the oil drums do explode if you shoot them... ;D

Not surprisingly it was a bloody affair, the General and his team were wiped out reasonably quickly and it descended into a firefight between the Drugs Cartel and the US Marines. Superior marksmanship from the marines carried the day, but not without cost... two Marines were lost during the making of this motion picture... Man down! Medic! Get to the chopper?!

Amazing game! I'm obscenely jealous of everything there, especially the airstrip and hangar, top notch!

Cracking set up, very atmospheric. I definitely want to play!

The airstrip works particularly well and it looks like it's not too bad to store.
