LOST CITY PULP(ISH) WITH THE MEN WHO WOULD BE KINGS
« on: 06 June 2017, 11:25:49 AM »
Not sure whether to put this here or in Pulp!

We recently played a 3-player game at the skirmish level with TMWWBK, although the scenario would work with up to 5 or 6 players.

The three factions were German, Belgian and Mercenaries. They each had three units, 2 regular infantry and 1 veteran regular infantry, command and leader abilities were rolled as usual.

Background
Following the map stolen from the renowned British archaeologist, Professor Mortimer-Whining, you have discovered the mysterious lost city he was excavating. You are not interested in the scientific value of this ancient site, just how much loot you can get away with.

A minor obstacle to your path to riches is that the local tribes are still up in arms over the Professor’s defilement of their sacred site. They are determined to kill any outsiders that dare to enter the city. You need to grab as much loot as possible and escape before the natives arrive in force. Preferably leaving your rivals empty handed to face the wrath of the outraged tribesmen.

Full scenario and more pictures on the blog http://grahamsgaming.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/lost-city-pulp-with-men-who-would-be.html

Sorry Keith, I picked it up on a B&B years ago. It's a quite lightweight, one piece casting.

Thanks for the interest.

It's an old GW piece.
They made this, a graveyard, an orc village and a dwarf fort all in the lightweight foam.
They turn up from time to time on ebay and the like.
The tower is the only one I don't have :)

It's a mixture really. Some of the stuff is commercially produced castings, but most scratch built, some by me and some I've picked up at shows or on Ebay over the past 10-15 years.

A nice looking game well presented, the ruins really work well. Its a novel way of using TMWWBK rules- shows how adaptable they are.
