Pulp Alley: Captain America, Red Skull & The Goldfinch
« on: 25 May 2021, 01:06:46 PM »
Sainte-Marine France 1943.

The Goldfinch, an SOE agent carries top secret plans for a heavy water plant being constructed in Norway as part of the Nazi's atomic weapons research. It is vital to the allied war effort that the plans are recovered to aid there own research and to enable a commando mission to be dispatched to destroy the factory. The only thing worse than the Nazi's recovering the Goldfinch and her secrets are if the fell into the hands of Red Skull & Hydra.



Sainte-Marine is a small Breton village with a harbour



The Goldfinch has managed to keep her identity hidden. She has recruited a cell of resistance fighters in Saint-Marine, if the characters can make contact with them they may be able to identify 'The Goldfinch' so she can be approached. Unfortunately the town is teeming with Gendarmes and Nazi Goons.



Table set up and ready to play this afternoon with Mike Strong.

Great looking game
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Gorgeous. I know the boat is Z1. Are the harbour tiles also Z1? And the cobblestones?

Yes, the harbor edging and cobblestone is also from Z1 designs, cut down in slicer to fit standard Terra-Former Harbor / Canal tiles.

Pulp Alley: Captain America vs Red Skull, France 1943.



Last week Mike Strong and I got together to play through this scenario. We assigned the leagues randomly, Mike got Hydra and I got Captain America. The potential contacts were placed on the table, we each took turns to place them.



The scenario objective, 'The Goldfinch' was not placed at this point, we needed to wait for a tip off from a contact to identify her wherabouts.

That was truly a nail biting report. I have the rules already, I should really dig into them.
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

 The Hydra gunners had their say and foiled the Captain.  A great AAR.
