I've just created a mini 7 day Kickstarter to launch the complete Able Company set.
Sculpted by the very talented Mark Fuller and painted by the very talented Jon Atter.

I've started working on a set of Pulp Alley character cards for representing Captain America & Howling Commandos using the Able Company Miniatures.

I'd be really interested if anyone has any suggestions for improving stats / skills.

Yesterday Lewis & I got together over Zoom to play an exciting Game of Pulp Alley.

In this encounter Captain America comes face to face with his nemesis, Red Skull, as the both attempt to recover the plans for the Top Secret Cypher Machine from the secret submarine base.

We played on of the standard scenarios from the Pulp Alley rulebook, Scenario 3: Trail of clues. This meant that the four minor plot points were placed on the table (roll of camera film, document in safe, cipher pad by radio set, weird scientific equipment). The first player, whose character solved one of these clues gets to place the major scenario plot point, the plans for the cipher machine. We rolled for scenario events, Captain America got Familiar Area giving him a bigger dice for rolling for starting Director, he'd obviously been well briefed on the mission. Red Skull got Reconnoiter meaning that characters could not move more than 6" or attack on turn one.
