Very cool! THANKS for sharing the extra photos of the terrain. 

I'm really looking forward to the next adventure! 



HAVE FUN

[Ramirez Noname]

After escaping the treacherous jungles of South America, our fool hardy adventurers ducked and dived across Europe (with a brief stop in Berlin) to find themselves once again in the vast expanse of the Egyptian Desert.

Reports had reached Berlin that a transport aircraft delivering some equipment to a listening station in the Libyan Desert had been blown off course. Running short of fuel and hoping to make it to a safe landing strip the crew had jettisoned most of the cargo over some fairly inhospitable terrain. The intrepid German Military dispatched its crack group of troops. Professor von Nash and his group of bounty hunters got wind of the German High Commands instructions and have dashed to the desert to see if they can pick up some valuable loot, which they might be able to sell to the highest bidder.

Our story continues ...



The minor plot points – A torn photo currently with Ahmed (a possible Agent), a top secret radio being carried by Ahmed’s bearer, a concealed shipment of ammunition stored in an old barrel and some dismantled weaponry in its stowage case.





An overall view of the, mostly featureless, terrain. The several areas of ruins were considered perilous for this adventure and the large statue-faced tomb entrance is the major plot point. The other plot points were distributed within the ruins.



The military slowly start to head towards the various ruins, fully aware of the Professors group visible just the other side of them.





The Professors’ group, keen to get their hands on the loot, spread out in all directions to grab what they can, having to dodge bullets as they go ...







Whilst the military attempt to form a defensive area in the entrance of the grand tomb ...





Meanwhile, Wu-Lu manages to reach the bearer with the secret radio equipment. Some withering fire forces her to dive for cover, dragging the bearer with her.



Realising they cannot hold the tomb entrance, and attracting fire from all directions, the military withdraw, the Professor standing defiant in the distance having managed to obtain the torn photo from Ahmed.

As before, the miniatures are mostly Artizan, with a couple of Foundry and Bluemoon. However, almost all the Desert terrain has been built by The Somnambulist; the tomb entrance being a really great scratch-built piece and it was good to be able to use it. The German Military League was painted and created by “The Somnambulist” and based on the league produced by Dave and Mila from Pulp Alley.

Great reports, Harvey.
Wonderful terrain, minis and atmospherics.
 

Whilst that Desert is most excellent, the Jungle is truly top-drawer!
Have no fear that I shall be soundly stealing the 'holes in hedges' idea.
It creates a wonderful base for the greenery to cling to.
Genius!
 

And many thanks for the inspiration.
 


Not so many thanks for steering me in the direction of Pulp Alley even more, though.
I am seriously trying to resist Pulp at the moment.
Too many projects....

  More great work, this is really excellent!

@mason: resistance is futile and only delays the inevitable. just accept that you'll be doing pulp so you can enjoy it.

@Somnambulist:  i thought the jungle was the best and then you have this awesome tomb entrance.  truly superb on both counts.  i was expecting some "guardians of the red orb" to pop out and start sniping anyone who got close to the entrance.

Great scenery

Mate, don't get me wrong, I have long ago accepted that I will do some Pulp gaming at some point.
I just need some time to get my house in order before I go adventuring is all I ask.

Just caught on to this.....

I have hovered over the PA option several times lately and almost bought it.
The only problem at the moment is the project plan does not need another tangent added to it....although you are right, I could probably play straight away with my figure collection.

Just talked myself into a corner there, didn't I......
