Excluded Territory- Game 3 AAR - Concluded 18.12.23

[CapnJim]

Well, well, well.  Seems the band of semi-intrepid heroes has pulled one off!

Do you suppose Slasher's opinion of Tremlett will change at all?   And maybe your squad needs to visit the unit armorer...

Fun finish to the story. Those cultists just kept coming, didn't they? Nice shooting by the boys, though.

An excellent report with some lovely photos.   

Even worse, Gilchrist’s gun jams. This has been an all too common occurrence on this mission and points once again to the poor standard of the Team’s training - they’re just not looking after their weapons properly.

Your chaps seem to need to revisit their basic weapons maintenance training. Or is there an armourer who needs to be put on a fizzer?

Is that the droid they were looking for (see below)? If so, it appears that Leia's plan to get the Death Star schematics to Obi Wan on Tatooine may have 'gang aft agley'?

Slasher is what is known here as "a miserable git"; put politely, he’s a misanthrope, so a rejig of his relations with Tremlett is unlikely.

There’s a problem with the armourer suggestion - the unit doesn’t have one - they can’t afford one. Maybe Captain Tomoe may divert some money from the Windows and Orphans Fund (sole Trustee and Administrator - Captain L. Tomoe) but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Thank, Mike. Yes they did tend keep coming on. It was a weakness of how the game developed. Although the Team had time constraints, they were still able to hold back for a few moves and pick off the cultists who had to come to them. I probably should have given the Team less time to complete the mission.

Regarding the armourer situation, see reply to Capt Jim, above. The poor weapons maintenance actually improved the game because for a while things got very tight due to the malfunctions which raised the jeopardy levels.

It’s not known yet where the cult got the device although there were survivors who got picked up next day by another Team and are currently being interrogated. Hopefully more information will eventuate. In the meantime, the device has been sent to Military Command, UK Occupation Forces who have the expert technicians required to figure out what the damned thing is.

Leia; Death Star; Obi Wan - what mystery is this?

Nice one Doug, photos are excellent,  well cropped I imagine and the scenery looks great, just like the tangle vegetation intimated in the opening briefing.

Gun jams were obviously a big feature of the action and I guess maybe a bit frustrating although as you said,  added to the tension.

Hopefully Slasher will be back in action sooner rather than later.

Nice report Doug. I'm enjoying this campaign and looking forward to seeing where it leads

Thanks Vaggers. On the photos, I tend to take quite a lot from distance if I want a lot of depth to the focus and then crop the bejasus out of them!

Thanks - I must say, I don’t plan a long way ahead; the narrative tends to develop of its own accord so I’m pretty interested myself to see where it’s leading.
