Title: Zeppelins over New York... Showing at MacLAM 2012
Post by: oldskoolrebel on May 21, 2012, 02:12:00 PM: Roll up ladies and gentlemen, roll up!

MacCinema are proud to present Robby Ruckus in Zeppelins over New York! Showing at MacLAM 2012; book your tickets now to see Robby and his death-defying rangers attempt to stop the devious Nazi's bombing New York.

Roll up... Roll up...

Far above the Atlantic Ocean, the fiendish Nazis are preparing to drop their new superbomb(TM) on top of New York. Using a passanger Zeppelin to disguise themselves the Nazis will reach New York without challenge; surely no one can stop them! (Dun Dun Dun...)

With success so close, and the American's totally unaware of the impending doom, the officers relax in their rooms

The passengers relax in the lounge, a famous director and British General relax with their entourage.

However unbeknown to the nefarious Nazis, Robby Ruckus and his Sky Rangers intercepted a message detailing the plans to drop the superbomb on New York. Dropping onto the balloon, the rangers abseil and break through the sides of the Zeppelin cab; and start to remove the German sentries before they can raise the alarm.

The Rangers storm forward, securing the bomb doors.

Only to be met with German reinforcements.

Robby's right hand man, Jamie, heads towards the bridge
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/10/2367_21_05_12_2_28_16_3.jpg)

Only to hear the alarm sounding; alerting the rest of the guards to the intrusion.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/10/2367_21_05_12_2_28_17_4.jpg)

But quickly storm the defences leaving the way open to the bridge.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/10/2367_21_05_12_2_30_51_2.jpg)

And as Robby moves to confront the German Commander, the credits roll...

...So there you have it ladies and gentlemen; Zeppelins over New York

A quick dusting off of the Zeppelin for a trial of gamer Mac's game for MacLAM 2012. This time instead of trying to escape from the Zeppelin, the players play either Robbie or some of his rangers in the attempt to stop the Zeppelin delivering its payload over New York. Much fun to be had.

If you're interested in coming along to MacLAM (16-17 June) please PM me, for more info.

Cheers
Andy

Post by: Huascar on May 22, 2012, 10:33:23 AM: WOW! I haven't drooled this much since the invention of the bacon double cheese burger. A real gaming masterpiece.

So after years of tramp steamers - are we entering the age of Zeppelins? I wonder if Richard Huston can be convinced to make a switch to Zeppelins?

Great fun game too.
Particularly if you get to push Malamute's aviatrix character out of the bomb doors into the void...

Post by: Kestrel on May 23, 2012, 11:27:20 PM: I have to second the comments of the admirers that have played on it in the before and I'm even more pleased to be going to MacLam, so I can play on it again.

I would make a comment about how it puts my scenery for my MacLam games to shame, and how I should be excused as I am travelling up to Glasgow, but they've brought it south of the border before and I seem to recall it even came in specially done up crates for extra bonus points. lol

You have to promise me to make a scenario about getting on BOARD the zeppelin at some point. Then you'd have to build part of the exterior of a zeppelin tied to a zeppelin-tying-station also. lol

I don't think that would work though... considering helium doesn't burn. Ever. ;)

Maybe you meant hydrogen. lol lol

The sheer size, the utter majesty of it! And now....your model! (Slides to the floor with a strangled croak and is revived by Mem-sahib administering brandy)

EDIT: because apparently I couldn't spell yesterday!

It is for times like these that "calling in sick" was invented. Just wheeze convincingly into the phone in the morning, then bugger off to McLAM!

Now, if only it were so easy to magic away the inconveniently large ocean and continent that seperate me from McLAM and other European/UK gaming goodness...

Post by: Galland on June 08, 2012, 10:02:17 AM: If there is one thing I want to see that is wargaming related, its this. The Zeppelin is fantastic. I want to find a better word to decribe it, but cant find any, so fantastic would have to do!

You really should consider coming to Sweden and bring your Zeppelin, if not, just to post some pics of the customs people when you show up with it! :D

Post by: Hammers on January 07, 2013, 02:02:04 PM: Don't know about the MacLAM incident but I know that , at BLAM, me and Harvey, after a fearsome and seemingly endless bout of fisticufsmanship with the German radio operator finally managed to enter the pilot cabin and have the Zeppelin veer of course. I never expected radio operators to be so spry and hard hitting. He must have been the evil twin of Max Schmelling or some other Clobbering Joe.
