Title: Send in the Clowns - Solo Pulp Alley AAR
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on 10 November 2017, 03:45:28 PM
The Clowns are not happy. After losing their precious Thing to Sir Rufus’ men (see Clowning Around in Nether Winslet), they decide on an immediate revenge attack. So the day after the disaster happened, having sobered up, they head back to Nether Winslet, accompanied by their faithful chimpanzees. This time, as well as being sober, they also have weapons. Even better, their wives are not about to be left out. Grabbing their shotguns, the ladies join the party.


THE LEAGUES
Clowns (From the left):
Bim Bom Carequina (Leader); Achillie Fratinelli (Sidekick); Mrs Carequina (Ally); Mrs Fratinelli (Ally); Chimp 1 (Follower); Chimp 2 (Follower); Chimp 3 (Follower)

STARTING POSITIONS

The Clowns advance menacingly up the road, chimps in the lead. Young Alf Dearheart posted as lookout races down the road in front of them in the League van, reaching speeds in excess of 30mph! The rest of Sir Rufus’s men are, regrettably suffering from dreadful hangovers and are unable to move although Dan Butcher (in checked cap) is alert enough to take a shot which, predictably, is wide of the mark.

Fun read- the clowns are a great idea for a gang and very nicely painted as well.

More doings in Nether Winslet, great stuff! I feel sorry for Nick Harper, glad to hear the chimps are OK now!

Great looking game.   :-*

This was like some hilarious episode of the old "Avengers" series.  I kept waiting for Steed and Mrs. Peel to roll up in the Bentley.  Grand stuff.

All those clowns... and crazy chimps... OMG! :o

GREAT minis, AAR and scenery, thank you very much for sharing!  :-*

It's always a pleasure to see these classical Dunwich Detectives figures in action!  :D

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. The main thing is, PA solo rules work and give a game that's enjoyable to play. And because it's PA, it doesn't take too long (because of the turn limit) so the dreaded "solo game ennui" doesn't creep in.

And now, I'm fairly sure that The Clowns can look forward to a climactic, cataclysmic confrontation with the dreaded (but utterly hopeless) Dr (W)Evil and his slavish cult followers.
