Title: 1985, Somewhere in Central America..... a FFOL AAR. Pic Heavy.
Post by: Malamute on August 01, 2018, 10:31:09 AM: Central America, a deserted airstrip in the middle of nowhere, soon to become a scene straight out of an 80s action movie.... Three groups converge on this location all with their own agenda:

General Zolo and his gang - Arms dealers and all round naughty boys, dressed for the 80s with shoulder pads, espadrilles and pastel coloured T shirts join the game armed with nothing but pistols, Uzis and knuckledusters. They are trading weapons for drugs.

Danny Trejo and representatives of the Diosa Blanca cartel, trading drugs for weapons. These guys were properly tooled up, SMGs, LMGs, grenade launchers etc.

US Marine Recon Team Alpha, on a Black operation with kill orders to assassinate anyone and everyone with extreme prejudice...

So the scene was set, using our go to rules A Fistful of Lead with modifications for modern firearms etc we set about creating havoc and mayhem in homage to the likes of Dolf Lundgren, Arnie and any other 80s action hero. ;)

Oh and the oil drums do explode if you shoot them... ;D

Not surprisingly it was a bloody affair, the General and his team were wiped out reasonably quickly and it descended into a firefight between the Drugs Cartel and the US Marines. Superior marksmanship from the marines carried the day, but not without cost... two Marines were lost during the making of this motion picture... Man down! Medic! Get to the chopper?!

The airstrip works particularly well and it looks like it's not too bad to store.

Post by: mellis1644 on August 04, 2018, 02:07:45 AM: Looks cool.

The common issue I have with 3 way games is stopping 2 players ganging up on 1 player. By the sounds of it that kind of happened in your game as well...
Title: Re: 1985, Somewhere in Central America..... a FFOL AAR. Pic Heavy.
Post by: Harry Faversham on August 04, 2018, 08:08:11 AM: Always best if they gang up on you 2-1...
provides a target rich environment!!!

No ganging up involved. The unfortunate party concerned brought pistols to a shootout against assault rifles and lmgs. lol

Post by: mikedemana on August 08, 2018, 04:14:03 AM: That is one awesome looking game. Heck, throw in a fourth faction and it'll make an even better convention game with people clamoring to get in!
