Hi!
I've recently started a sci-fi campaign using my 15mm collection (and naturally using this as an excuse to add to the collection ;)). It's a solo campaign with a heavily modified mash up of 5 Parsecs, Black Ops and homemade rules. Here's a short description of the rules: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/04/solo-sci-fi-rules-tinkering/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/04/solo-sci-fi-rules-tinkering/)
I've played two missions so far. Here's an AAR of mission 1: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/10/31/tanits-talons-mission-1/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/10/31/tanits-talons-mission-1/)
And here an AAR of mission2: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/07/tanits-talons-mission-2-first-contact/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/07/tanits-talons-mission-2-first-contact/)

It's been fun developing the story so far and it's a good way to game during the current unpleasantness.
Cheers,
Thomas

I like it! Nice table too.

Very enjoyable AARs

Really enjoyed reading those AAR's. Brilliant kitbashing of rules.
-
Thanks for the kind words!

The saga continues. This time, the Talons were out on a humanitarian (or sentientarian?) mission to rescue people from the alien threat.
Find an AAR here: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/13/tanits-talons-mission-3-rescue/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/13/tanits-talons-mission-3-rescue/)

I'm really happy with the rules and had a fun game with some dramatic moments. It also feels like the campaign is now coming to live, the characters get more interesting and possible storylines begin to evolve.
Considering a new lockdown is coming in Austria, this is a fine way of spending the time and a good alternative to going bonkers :D

Really enjoyed the AARs and eye candy. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work & AAR.
Thanks for sharing

You are welcome!
Here's another one. I was rather unlucky this time and the aliens are tough customers... Maj. Tanit is not happy, but she is already working on a contingency plan: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/20/tanits-talons-grand-theft-auto/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/11/20/tanits-talons-grand-theft-auto/)

I'm late to the party with this.
These reports are great and very creative. Many thanks for sharing them.
Clever use of the mansion. I have one which I use for Pulp and Dr Who games but never thought to use it for sci-fi.
Looking forward to more adventures.

Thanks for the kind words!
Here's another one. This time, it's real cloak-and-dagger stuff with Maj. Tanit and Lt. Leekon using a cunning disguise to infiltrate a smuggler's lair:

...and the story continues. This time, Lt. Leekon sets up an ambush. Will he succeed?

What a lovely collection!
Great work!
-
You've got some sweet stuff there! :-*
-
Is “Lt. Leekon” the leech-looking alien? And where did you get that figure?
Dan
-
Thanks guys!
Lt. Leekon is the Quar, the nearest figure on the left side of the last image.
The rest of the Talons (the guys in ambush) are Khurasan Galactic Foreign Legion. The security guys disembarking from the hover van are Peter Pig modern militia. The woman in the red jumpsuit is from Alternative Armies.

Shandy
So who makes that leech fella?
Dan
-
He's from Khurasan: http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/t3603.jpg (http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/t3603.jpg)
Look under Interstellar Foreign Legion: http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/15mmscifi-infantry.html (http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/15mmscifi-infantry.html)

... and here is another chapter in the ongoing adventures of Tanit's Talons. They were again on a mission to rescue civilians from the ghastly phytomorphs: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/12/09/tanits-talons-another-rescue-mission/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/12/09/tanits-talons-another-rescue-mission/)
This was also the finest hour of Sgt. Chuva - the raptor fought off scores of aliens to enable her civilians to get to safety.

Fantastic job with that mission! Love those figures and your terrain.
The only thing I would change is the spacing between shanty buildings. I’ve always seen them very close together.
Dan
-
Thank you Dan! I'll think about the spacing of the shacks next time, but I only have two of those, which I bought at CRISIS many years ago. But it should be easy to scratch build them.
Meanwhile, here's another AAR: https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/12/12/tanits-talons-dead-drop/ (https://wargamingraft.wordpress.com/2020/12/12/tanits-talons-dead-drop/)
This time, the Talons get into a fire fight at the Quar Memorial...
