I was given a bit of a wigging by Mr Dino about posting games on my Blog but not here, so this is the latest semi pulp game that I posted yesterday.
The Uranium Handoff 2nd Attempt.After the debacle of the first attempt for Supervillain Alexander Lorne to meet with Boss Cotton and sell a shipment of enriched uranium, a second attempt was arranged, neither of them realized that the traitor was one of their own associates. So 2 weeks later but in the same place and aiming for the same bar to make the hand over at the same time of day, the various elements were in place, same encounters and PEF’s.
The only difference was that the crack Marine team was in disgrace and Andy Donovan and his team of law enforcement officers had been drafted in to make the arrest, they were joined by Special Agent Samantha Price.
Again I was playing the part of the ‘good guys’ and I still thought my original plan was a good one, split into 2 teams 1 by the cross road and 1 in the Deli opposite the bar.
Andy Donovan and his team the veteran Willhelm Schmitt and the rooky Enrico Diaz climb over the wall at point A and remain in position, and Samantha (Sam) Price and her team Hans Ludenstien and James Lamour enter at point B and make their way quickly and unobserved this time, into the Deli to get an overview of the Bar.
Turn 3 – Mad Dog has the senses of a wolf and realizes there is something behind him and he spins round like lightening, sees Hans behind the bush, they both react together but the veteran Hans is faster, BOOM – BOOM – BOOM goes his shotgun, 6 – 5 -5 are thrown.
Turn 3 – Mad Dog goes down OOF and the Boss not badly hurt falls stunned and Erik the 3rd target is missed by a fraction of an inch. Erik passes his tests for man down, leader lost and received fire and blazes away at Hans, 2 shots – 2 misses, obviously rattled by the shotgun pellets passing so close. Hans ducks back behind the barn.
Turn 4 The Boss and Erik fail to activate. Hans recovers from ducking back – pops his head round the corner of the barn and Erik wins the resulting in sight test and shoots him, Hans falls to the ground stunned. “Ha not so clever now are we" shouts Erik.
Turn 4 – Andy comes round the other side of the Barn and lets fly BOOM – BOOM – BOOM, hits Erik 3 times and he is down and OD (obviously dead). “Oh yes we are” says Andy. Sorry about the dice in the photo.
Turn 5 – Sam can see down the street and so resolves a PEF and 3 encounter markers. The encounter was Charlene with Rufus and Desmond the Gangstas (no type casting in my games you notice), they have run in to the Yakuza who are also after the uranium, obviously no love lost between these 2 gangs and they immediately set too. The other 2 encounters are Chardonet a good time girl on her way home (blonde on the right) and Tomari Daisuke, another Yakuza, (bottom left - pale suit). I am writing this AAR 2 weeks after the game and as there was no encounter marker for additional Yakuza I don’t know what the hell he is doing there, maybe in 10 years when the long term memory kicks in I'll be able to explain it.
Just behind the blue car you can see Raoul's base, this is where he got before being shot from the Deli, note he is just stunned and will get up next turn.
I don't think this gives too much of the game away and if you think this might interest you the rest of the game is here
