Title: Mayhem in Manchester -Hotlead 2016 annual VSF bring and battle
Post by: Chairface on March 20, 2016, 02:45:22 PM
This is happening now! 18 participants running rampant through the streets of an entirely fictional Manchester causing chaos in the pursuit id their individual goals. British, Dutch, French, Japanese, Chinese, Dalek and Orc ( Orc? Why not? ) creating the mother of all international incidents.

VSF Mega Battle: Mayhem in Manchester

It is 1890, and a border skirmish between the Duchy of Grand Fenwick and the Republic of Ruritania threatens to explode into a European war. Ambassadors from Europe, Asia and the Americas have arrived in Manchester to try and find a diplomatic solution. Unfortunately, so have spies, anarchists and weapons manufacturers who hope to light the powderkeg. Bring a lightly armoured vehicle (wheeled, tracked, walker or flier) armed with one light gun (bring whatever you have and we'll call it this), a heroic leader figure, and two units of ten riflemen, as you plod, plot and take pot-shots through the streets of Manchester.

The HMS Invincible and all hands aboard has gone down. A moment of silence

Sherlock Holmes is the only survivor as he hauls himself out of the water and on to the dock

The Japanese recover the body of their fallen ambassador as well as the Ruritanian manuscript that they had come for
