INEPTT Genre 1 Mission - First Crash Site - UPDATED
« on: April 16, 2014, 04:46:14 PM »
Situation: In 1920 after the end of World War One, the intelligence communities for a decimated German and the combined British and French Empires as well as the United States have been tracking down possible UFO crash sites through out the world. Many come up empty and although more than rumour there is no evidence found of any alien remains or craft. Operatives from SOOF and the German DAJ were sent to an area southeast of Turpan near the ruins of the Ancient city of Goachang. This area is under the control of the a Mongolian Warlord named Ni Shiong. Shiong was brutal, smart and had a large number of well trained and experienced soldiers to support his fiefdom.


The Warlord Ni Shiong.

Shiong had money and power galore and with this he managed to purchase from the Red Army a modified MK VIII tank. He replaced the Russian Turret, which had a 37mm gun on it with a Schneider 75mm cannon, he also had the original 6 pdrs in the sponsons. This piece of equipment put Shiongs forces in a superior almost impregnable position compared to other warlords. Shiong was also a long time fanatic about lost civilizations and had travelled extensively in Nepal looking for Shangri la. He had captured a German DAJ agent and managed to extract enough information on the possible crash site of an alien craft near Goachang, that he was sure he knew the whereabouts and set off with his tank (nicknamed - the Gobi Viper) and 20 Veteran Soldiers. He was determined to find any artifact and then sell what he didn't want to keep to the highest bidder.


Crash Site


Part of the ruins of Goachang


The United States had joined Britain and France in the race against the Germans to recover various relics and artifact and to support and operate along side SOOF, the US stood up the Bureau of Occult and Alien Studies (BOAS). A BOAS team had been flown into the area of Turpan and moved by foot to the Goachang ruins.
Two veteran teams were sent in. The first team was Willie "Buck" Trayhern. Trayhern was a veteran pilot of WWI, he flew Spads for the US Air force and had 7 kills to his credit. But he was also a mountaineer, hunter, archeologist and all round great guy. Trayhern led a team of four BOAS Agents. They were armed with Submachine guns, Machine Pistols and grenades all were excellent shots and tough fighters all the way around!


Trayhern, in the red scarf, leads the team, Ashton Avion, with his hand in the air, is a crack shot. Beside Ashton is Pamela Pionere, another crack shot and extremely tough. To the right of Pamela is Bobby Winchester, an adventurers adventurer, Bobby is all about looking for stuff and is a master at finding things - especially trouble. Finally Trayhern's 2nd in command Andy Hawk, Andy was also a pilot in WWI and went on to fly blimps for Trayhern and BOAS, smart and well studied in Alien artifacts and craft, Andy was the brains behind Trayhern's bravery.

The second BOAS team was Colonel Hank Horrus, once a Captain in the US Cavalry, Horrus road against Pancho Villa with Patton and Pershing. Horrus lead a team of four varied and tough characters. Chichchaw, was a half Apache scout, this guy could last for a fortnight on one canteen of water in the desert and be as fresh as someone who just had 8 hours sleep in a five star hotel. Gunner Hall, or Bubby Hall was a big hard, tough man who started with BOAS from the swamps of Louisiana. Bubby used his BAR automatic rifle like other men use a pistol. KB Johnston was the demolitions man of the team. What does KB stand for you would ask him? KA BOOM! Finally there was Tank Harden. Harden had modified himself a 37mm gun and was big enough to fire it from the hip. This mountainous Texan was the heavy hitter for the team.


Horrus leads the way.


Shiong and his group were moving towards the crash site through a narrow valley. Shiong left 4 men back at the entrance to the valley just in case any BOAS teams tried to enter it. Any rifle fire, so he thought, would alert he and his men to the presence of the enemy. He had 8 men inside the tank, 6 men and himself outside the tank and of course his ruthless second in command Dukk Phfat.



Shiongs entire team.

The BOAS teams, unknown to them, were on the opposite side of the valley Shiong was moving down. They were separated by a craggy mountain, the sound from the tank was completely muffled by the terrain. Unfortunately for Shiong, Trayhern's team found his four men and killed them before they could raise a sound. Mean time Horrus's team rushed forward to start a climb of a large hill they hoped held the crash site.


Horrus's team climbing a big hill.

Trayhern's team ran forward to catch up with Horrus's lads. The BOAS teams were both completely ignorant of Shiong's team moving along beside them on the other side of the hills.
More importantly they had caught up with Shiong's men because the tank had some difficulty with the terrain and was slowed by it.


Trayhern's team seen moving into a very narrow and dangerous pass.


Trayhern's crew move further up the pass.

Horrus's team was really limited to their ability to move due to the steepness of the hill they had to climb and then the hill itself was so rough that they could go no faster than a jog.


Horrus's team finally makes the top of the hill.

Shiong's lads were pushing hard once they got the tank rolling and they quickly spotted a portion of the ruins of Goachang, this was what they had hoped to see and were ready to move on to the adjacent hill and the crash site.


Shiong's men push down and out of their valley into the clearing the abuts the Ruins of Goachang.

Unbeknownst to Shiong, the tank could now be heard as it cleared the mountain pass and Trayhern's crew was quick to react. All trained climbers they quickly scaled the hill to their right and quickly spotted the completely unaware Shiong.


Trayhern's men on the top of the hill.

At the same time Horrus's men heard the din from the tank and rush as quickly as they could to the other side of the hill they had climbed previously and were looking for the threat.


Horrus and his team look for the tank.

As Shiong gave his orders his men started to disperse into the ruins to see if there were any signs of Alien existence while he and Dukk rushed forward to the hill in front of them that was supposed to be the crash site.


Shiong and his men start to split up.


Ambush! Quickly dispersing his team, Trayhern orders them to open fire on the rear group of 4 of Shiongs men.


Tough though there were, Shiongs men went down to a hail of machine gun bullets. Unfortunately, bullets also hit the tank, and this alerted the crew who started to pivot towards the threat.


Horrus's team rushed off the hill and moved to help Trayhern's team.

Shiong and Dukk ran up the hill and spotted the crash site, they were certain that their men could take out any pursuers and so didn't bother to see what was happening.


Shiong and Dukk.

The tank pivoted around and opened fire with 1 six pounder and the turret mounted 75mm. The fire hit Trayhern's team cutting down 2 of the team with high explosives. The second six pounder opened up on Horrus's team and killed one of them as well.


Gobi Viper gets into the action.

With no way to hurt the steel beast, Trayhern moved around the right side hoping to avoid any more fire from the Viper. At the same time Tank and KB engaged the beast and in a spectacular series of explosions the beast was no more.


The beast burns like hell fire!

The remnants of the two BOAS teams converged on the crash site. Three remained of Horrus's team but only 2 with Trayhern.
Dukk tried to take on the Yanks and although he took out KB, he was killed by Gunner.


Gunner and Horrus close in on Shiong and Dukk, KB is just out of view to Gunners right.

The four BOAS agents close in on Shiong and yet again the fates worked one more time for him as he survived a number of wounds and was able to kill Gunner. Trayhern opened fire and ended the life of the Mongolian Warlord. This meant BOAS had the crash site and could extract the artifacts!


Shiongs last stand.

BOAS had won their first piece in the race. This was a big leg up for the US efforts to gain knowledge as well as help SOOF.

General, if you have the rules you will understand the abilities. There is a new ability that will be in the first mission book, but it is only for Evil folks if you are having a player take command of them. Warlord - allows the leader a -1 to moral, lead up to 20 soldier/henchmen affecting their morale up to 12 inches, -1 to fight ability and +1 to Health. Warlord II another -1 to morale, lead up to 30 soldiers/henchmen affecting their morale up to 24 inches, -1 to fight ability and +1 to health. here are the teams involved:

75mm Cannon (Turret)             0                                                 2                                                 3

Damage                                  D3
**if the tank is moving when the guns are fired add 1 to the range modifier.
If the tank is hit by any weapon that penetrates the armour, make an extra roll to see if one of the weapons systems is knocked out. Roll a d10, on a 1, the Turret is hit and if 2 damage is taken it is destroyed. On a 2 or 3 one of the sponson gun systems is destroyed, anything else is structural damage. The sponson guns can only target out to max range if the turret is not destroyed. If the Turret is destroyed then the sponsons can only fire out to 15 inches. You can target the turret specifically but can it can only be hit on a 9 or 10 in this case.

I will post up the two BOAS teams after I eat Breakfast.

Well I have 10 of the 12 missions completed, the other two missions are in various stages of completion. Then I need to flesh out with some pics, ensure the layout works and then up on Lulu and Wargamevault.com - so I am really hoping (given I get on with it this weekend) no later than end April hopefully before that though.
