Tanit's Talons - 15mm solo sci-fi campaign
« on: November 07, 2020, 05:11:28 PM »
Hi!

I've recently started a sci-fi campaign using my 15mm collection (and naturally using this as an excuse to add to the collection  ;)). It's a solo campaign with a heavily modified mash up of 5 Parsecs, Black Ops and homemade rules. Here's a short description of the rules: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/04/solo-sci-fi-rules-tinkering/

I've played two missions so far. Here's an AAR of mission 1: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/10/31/tanits-talons-mission-1/
And here an AAR of mission2: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/07/tanits-talons-mission-2-first-contact/



It's been fun developing the story so far and it's a good way to game during the current unpleasantness.

Cheers,
Thomas

Really enjoyed reading those AAR's. Brilliant kitbashing of rules.

The saga continues. This time, the Talons were out on a humanitarian (or sentientarian?) mission to rescue people from the alien threat.

Find an AAR here: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/13/tanits-talons-mission-3-rescue/



I'm really happy with the rules and had a fun game with some dramatic moments. It also feels like the campaign is now coming to live, the characters get more interesting and possible storylines begin to evolve.

Considering a new lockdown is coming in Austria, this is a fine way of spending the time and a good alternative to going bonkers  :D

You are welcome!

Here's another one. I was rather unlucky this time and the aliens are tough customers... Maj. Tanit is not happy, but she is already working on a contingency plan: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/20/tanits-talons-grand-theft-auto/

I'm late to the party with this.
These reports are great and very creative. Many thanks for sharing them.
Clever use of the mansion.  I have one which I use for Pulp and Dr Who games but never thought to use it for sci-fi.
Looking forward to more adventures.

Here's another one. This time, it's real cloak-and-dagger stuff with Maj. Tanit and Lt. Leekon using a cunning disguise to infiltrate a smuggler's lair:

Is “Lt. Leekon” the leech-looking alien?  And where did you get that figure?
