I say Gladys good shot, ol' girl.
« on: January 23, 2019, 12:15:43 AM »
The Bloggon, evil genius with a very niggly disposition, wants to rule the universe, you all know the type, has been up to naughtiness. He has kidnapped Dolores Trollope, famous Galactic explorer and granddaughter, of the Stargard's Field Marshal! She is being held in the swamps of Zooney, The Bloggon knows she's wearing a tracker, he's counting on it to lure the Stargard Troopers into an ambush.
The Bloggon  (ugly looking brute with wings) and his minions deploy...


Commander Gladys Emmanuel (the platinum blonde with red blaster) and her crack team of Starguard Troopers have landed on Zooney and are deploying for action…


In the distance Dolores can be seen in her captive dome…


“OK,” says Commander Gladys Emmanuel. “Move out!”

Astonishing! Looks like a classic sci-fi pulp cover recreated with some vintage models.

I'm always the baddy in these games, for some reason I had naive hopes for the martial prowess of The Bloggon.

Brilliant!   :D
I've still (hopefully) got some of those and the vehicles back in the family lost - great way to use them!  :-*  Also had a batch of same scale space pirate/adventurer/alien being type plastic models but cannot recall the manufacturer.

Both sides deploy and advance. The Bloggers try a sneaky flank attack on the Stargard’s Spaceship, but Gladys’s lads are wise to that old chestnut. It’s apparent that the Blogger’s antique weaponry and ‘spray and pray’ blasting is no match for the Stargard’s excellent body armour and even better marksmanship…
