First couple games

[sespe]

I had this really cool space ship model, a mixed bag of minis, and the rules.  I pictured a "repo man" style group, bounty hunters for ships rather than felons.  In flipping through the scenarios, the "Boarding Action" scenario sounded perfect. 


For the attackers, I started with the Mercenary squad from the book, except dropped BB#3 and Big Brother.  I replaced them with the single character "Robot Enforcer" as it fit the model better.  Changed leader's weapon to something appropriate for boarding action.  (Gave them all non-penetrating ammo).

For the defenders, I used Vivan Roo's squad straight from the book.


The first play-through was a solo test.  The attackers got smeared and never made it very far.  That's the write-up in detail.  But then my son finished his homework and came out to play.  He ran the attackers much better than I did, and squeaked out a victory by the absolute narrowest of margins. 


We both had a blast and the momentum swung back and forth several times.  We also learned that firing Heavy Laser Cannon inside a spaceship is not usually a good idea.  And never underestimate the mouse.

I'm gonna read your blog report but just wanted to ask where you can get the terrain from - looks great!

The flat space model is from Fat Dragon Games.  http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/54913/Advanced-Fleet-Designs-Titan-Class-Scout  I just picked it up along with their "EZ-Future" 3D terrain set on a sale. 

For the ship, I just printed it on regular paper and glued it to some foam-core board I had sitting around.  The 3-D terrain (where the ramp came from) uses cardstock.

This easy future looks, really easy to assembly and have nie 2.5D walls then world work games sets I been using.
My question how modular is the set? And does it have stackable floor plans?

It's just a collection of corridor pieces, intersections, and doors.  Seems I can make as much as I want.
