Manchurian Express

[Freelancer]

Scenario: A member of a Chinese noble house is escaping the Japanese occupation of Manchuria by train, with a map to a hidden fortune.

She is being pursued by opportunistic bandits lead by Chang-yi, the Japanese army and a freelance thief Tae-goo.

In the opening rounds the bandits and Japanese pursued the train on opposite sides of the track.


Changi-yi is the first to reach the train, leaping onto the rear of a box car (where he discards his cap and riding coat to reveal a natty suit and hair do)



As the Japanese trucks begin to unload troops onto the rear of the train Chang-yi makes his way across the rooftops, while Lady Lao's bodyguards pick off the bandit horsemen with well aimed shots from the carriage windows. Before he can reach Lao's carriage he is confronted by a bodyguard.


However, their battle is interupted by a bounty hunter hired by Lao to protect her from bandits. He is unwittingly aided by Tae-goo, who has been making his way through the train to rob Lao.


Chang-yi avoids the spray of buckshot from the bounty hunters shotgun, by swinging off the roof, thru the window and into the now empty carriage. Empty as the body guards are now facing Japanese troops.

Wonderful all round.
Proper 'adventure' gaming!
 

Where is that train from, it looks just right?

Looked like a hoot, like a real Jackie Chan movie

The train is one of those Golden Creek cheapies, but the carriages are scratch built.

To continue.....

Lao's bodyguard manage to push back the Japanese troops and then leap onto the troop truck, comandeering it! The plan is to rescue lady Lao from the train and drive to safety.
Meanwhile Tae-goo has stolen the map of Lao while her bodyguards were busy fighting Chang-yi and the remnants of his men that managed to board the train. To avoid retribution Tae-goo hangs out of the carriage window, preparing to drop off when he nears his get away vehicle.

However, a tunnel looms near!


To make things worse, one of Chang-yi's thugs, Mung-go decided to kill the engineer and sabotauge the engine.



Tae-goo manages to hold on until the train leaves the tunnel, only to find Mung-go has shot his accomplice and Lady Lao has taken his get away car. Her bodyguard Wu jen knocks Tae-goo unconcious and recovers the map, and while the bounty hunter deals with Mung-go, she and Wu-jen drive off to safety amidst a hail of Japanese bullets.
