Title: First game: Quartermain vs Totenkopf
Post by: Froggy the Great on March 23, 2016, 02:44:08 AM

An aeronef carrying alien prisoners has gone down in a Martian noble's villa. Lady Helen and her crew rappel down from their own craft. Mission: retrieval

The privateers have landed.

...and so have the Germans.

Each side grabs one prisoner and several unsurprising fights break out.

The privateers rush the Germans but are thoroughly rebuffed.

Meanwhile, one scout signals Quartermain's craft to return.

They drop cables.

The prisoner is secured.

...and hauled onboard.

Lady Helen falls! Her first mate charges in to rescue her, but is he too late? Only time and surgery will tell...

Splendid report!  :D

I do love your choice of flying base, but does that mean you have to swig your port straight from the bottle?

Sadly, that goblet's seen use with far more alka-seltzer (tm) than anything with alcohol.

Nice report. Also nice to see I'm not the only one using those minis for the Totenkopf battalion.
