Title: [PULP ALLEY] Battle Report: Vampirella Strikes Back! (LAST TURN)
Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on 05 August 2014, 08:32:42 PM
Here another Pulp Alley Solo Game I played :)

Background:
193X somewhere in Central Italy
The Cabinet RS/33 received strange news about the vatican sending agents to find and seal an unknown creature.
The Legio Prometheus is sent to investigate. After some days of searching, the legio receive some rumors about a vatican agent hunting a "vampire" in a village near the ruins of an ancient medieval town.


The scenario is a death trap with some variants. I played for about 3 hours. 7 turns.

as usual I will include more pictures with each new post.

Fram is right, vampirella didn't save the child, just kidnap her, so she could have fresh virgin blood to drink each day... "ahhh, NOTHING is better than some fresh virgin blood to start the night!"  :D

7 TURN

the ghoul king try to rush bellucci, but fail the perilous area (the wall) and must wait.
Vampirella "You have disappointed me for the last time!" >:(
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/MatteoC78/P1010421_zps9d6f3875.jpg)

Vampirella continue the brawl, littorio is injured while musolesi is down and lose his minor plot.
Vampirella "Mio caro capitano (my dear captain), you can't win this battle! Surrender to the evidence!"  lol
Littorio "Mhhh, maybe your are right my dear countess... but you can't win too... can I suggest a truce? I'm sure we could find a satisfactory agreement"  >:D
Vampirella "Interesting... I accept, but I warn you! Do not you dare to deceive me!"  :-[

(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/MatteoC78/P1010426_zps8dfa6c1a.jpg)

negotiations last for hours, but finally they both find an agreement. Littorio back by his comrades and proclaims:
"My comrades, today will be the first day of a new advantageous alliance! Greet the Countess Lucrezia, nickname "Vampirella", leader of the newly formed "Legio MORS" (Death Legion)! I'm sure she will serve well the Cabinet RS/33. In return, she will receive the protection of our organization, who will ensure that the Vatican or other Vampire Hunters can not harm her..."
Bellucci "But... Sir! Form an alliance with a servant of darkness will break our good relations with the Vatican!" :o
Littorio "So be it. We will draw many more benefits from this alliance that by pleasing the Vatican..."  >:D
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/MatteoC78/P1010430_zps9405429f.jpg)

The bot league of Vampirella won the scenario, she had 2 minor plots (the children) and herself (major plot), while my league had only one minor plot (the gypsy) while the other minor plot (witch hunter) was lost. However most of the minions of Vampirella were KO, just the ghoul king was at her side, so who know how the scenario could end if last more turns?  ;)

here some pictures of the place where I played this game.
I usually play at my countryside home in Savigliano, but this time I played in the little apartment of Limone Piemonte (about 1010m altitude).
I often go in limone for ski or snow shoe during winter and hiking during summer.
