Title: Don't Tell Him Pike! Pulp Alley at Bristol
Post by: Mick A on November 30, 2014, 08:41:35 PM

Had a great day at Reveille in Bristol, lots of interest in Pulp Alley and plenty of volunteers to play as well :) Warmington-on-Seas finest managed to win each game with only Pike being captured in one game (this could have been down to my compatriots playing the Germans in each game and not changing his tactics at all...).

There were three downed German aircrew which were the plot points at the start of each game but I made a small rule change, health became courage so if a character fails his final check rather than being taken out of the game he surrenders to the nearest opposition character giving that side an extra plot point.

The Gallant defenders of Britains shores.

The field of battle. There were three perilous terrain areas, the muddy field in front of the farm, the field full of cows and finally the old monastery ruins.

Hmmm...

Does anybody make, or should somebody make, a dog character series?

Same hound, standing, sitting, lying, attacking, leg lifting, zombee?
or some variety of poses?

Am I alone thinking such canines could prove Pulpy, useful & interesting?
