Another game of Sharpe Mechsuit (a hard sci-fi combo of Sharpe Practice and Chain of Command by Toofatlardies).

My opponent and I both needed to raid a Weyland-Yutani research station.
My opponent won. :)

With the last of the Milites finished it was time for the Normans to finally take the field in a clash with the Vikings.

The Persians invade and conquer Parthia. Figures predominantly Pendraken and Magister Militum.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

Thanks Manic Miner!

The tracks are from http://www.daemonscape.com.shopfactory.com/


Correct. The command vehicle (with the large 4 on the side) is not on their website though. I asked the people at deamonscape if I could order a Tracked command vehicle, but with the cabin of the Tracked utility truck. Of course, they said. Great service.

The comms dish on the vehicle is a 40K vehicle bit from my bitsbox.

A New (More or Less) Beginning

We were asked by the locals to patrol the settlement, and, after proper negotiations, entered a wooded area to check the ruins for mischief and activity, when we were attacked by hungry wolves. We did not succeed in placing our men on the ruins in time, but held our ground, felling the beasts, with an unknown number running off as their more aggressive brethren were shot and slaughtered! The Mystic herself dealt as many a blow as her protective armored escort, so did not have the opportunity to cast a spell rearming one of the halfling's quiver! Regretfully, the followers didn't even make the first ruins, as the terrain was less than helpful...

Restart! Turns out Elves are better at melee than other races, as they negate their enemy's ally combat bonus, and can reroll initiative. And Halflings are not only better at hitting enemies with Cover, but have a Wilderness proficiency bonus which means your party can perform Hunting Expeditions and make a fair amount of Gold through pelts and reduce upkeep by finding food for Rations. And Mystics can wear armor and use weapons (though have a slower progression with combat abilities?). Crossbows and Bastard Swords have bonuses to defeat Armor and Toughness (though Toughness is more important earlier in the game). You don't have enough Gold to buy enough for your party, so it's pelt-hunting for several turns, and a whole bunch of interesting random encounters! You can start with Full Armor, which is a Rare item, so is difficult to find, or some armor for each party member. So we fully armored one of the Elves and went pelt-hunting to buy more armor as well! The Mystic chose Summon and Darts, which negates the dreadful Out of Ammo result, which happens on a 1 when you roll a d6 for a ranged attack. Summon can only be used if you have less than six members in your party, but the summoned creature is stronger than your starting Follower and you don't have to find pelts to equip it! We still started with two Followers (as meat shields) and acquired another Follower during our travels. Or at least in Town.

I played two games of Battlesuit Alpha yesterday, using some 1:300 mechs I have had in my collection for at least ten years. I enjoyed the games lot, there was a lot of nuance to getting the best out of my mechs and pilots. I’ll definitely be playing again when I get the chance!

I ran 2 more games of my 1920s US Prohibition-Era "Rob the Mail Truck" scenario at Drums at the Rapids at Fort Meigs in Ohio, US this Saturday past.  I've now run this game 6 times, using 2 different rule sets.  The Marines/Post Office are 6-0, although the gangsters came close in the 2nd game Saturday....

Battle Reports are up on Page 9 of my "Pulp" thread...
