First Game of Pulp Alley

[joroas]

So, I finally get to play this game.  It is so different to just reading the rules.

Ramirez came round in the week.

I cheated and downloaded a League that I had the figures for:



Harvey had gone the whole hog:



Optional head attire was offered but declined:



The Plot Points were set up in an old-ruined fort that I picked up for a fiver:



Both teams entered from opposite ends:





In the grab for Plot Points we got two each, but I got the major one, too.  My better shooting meant that most of his team went down, for two of my minions....



....and we returned to camp to check out the spoils:



So, what did I learn:  well, this is a fast and changing game.  Use of cards and control of initiative can turn things around in an instant.  Like chess, the game looks simple, but will take a time to master.

"Optional head attire was offered but declined":       

'The Plot Points were set up in an old-ruined fort that I picked up for a fiver":           

"Both teams entered from opposite ends": At last some normality.

Great looking first game.
I look forward to more.

No Proper Headgear? Scandalous!

Nice fort! That was a deal...

Very cool! THANKS for sharing your first game. I'm glad y'all had fun.

Oh you were playing one of my favorite leagues. They're definitely good in a fight.  



THANKS

Yes, Dave, a couple of legionnaires were downed, but the Captain's shooting made up for that, and some luck. We didn't get to hand to hand, so I can't add:

And a bayonet, sir, with some guts behind it.

a moi la legion!
great! Isn't it nice to get them out of the drawer? 

[joroas]

It was their first outing........

[former user]

about time! they need a car or two

[Wolf Girl]

That's a nice selection of hats! I'd wear them. 

Have fun!

[Ramirez Noname]

"a choice of hats were available, but declined" - The electric fan was a tad uncomfortable ... 

Good to get the game in; looking forward to the next one. The dice were just not going my way ...

Sadly, the fan had to be installed when the punkah-wallah got too old.........

A really nice first PA game 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Looks like a really good game, can't believe that lovely head-gear was declined!

Head gear OPTIONAL?! Certainly NOT cricket! 

That fort is a great find, and where did you get your kepis?

I need to get PA back on the table - for some reason we didn't get back to it after our first game. Most likely because of sudden urgency of other projects...

The fort was whole £5!!!!!!!!

The kepis were from eBay, home of loads of nice stuff, but shop around, prices vary enormously.

My last replica Confederate kepi I bought from Gettysburg, the museum was over the road from the hotel, and I got a US Army side hat for $6 from a shop two doors down......
