End of Empires: Battle of nine armies - Lake Sarez Part 1

[Ignatieff]

This was the traditional big Saturday night battle, where things, as always, were not what they seemed......

The unlikely allies of Der Baron, The Chinese, The Beast of Bukhara, The British, The Italians, Texas Ted's expeditionary force, Von Stauffenberg and the Tibetans, had uncovered the real plot in the campaign: that of renegade German scientist and eugenics 'expert' Dr.Isaacs (anyone recall which film he was a baddy in??) who had built an alternative scientific research station some hundreds of miles to the north west, in a carefully disguised location on the banks of Lake Sarez, where he practised his abominable black arts........


Dr. Isaacs and friends: meet the zombies!


In addition to the secret underground zombie factory, Dr. Isaacs had also recruited a crack Baltic White Freikorps battalion to guard his secret observatory facility and his real terror weapon - an early form of rocket weapon.  Note also he has managed to secret enough U-boat parts to build his own lake side flotilla.

Word had got out to the players that there might be something unwholesome and undead at the Lake Sarez facility, and so uniquely they had all decided to band together, storm the facility, and then work out their differences afterwards....


A Tibetan zeppelin was first on the scene....


whilst everything was strangely quiet, in fact too quiet, at the facility.  Note the blast doors in the hillside


Der Baron, the Bukharians and Von Stauffenberg.  Unlikely bedfellows.  (apologies for the blurred pic)


British and US combined air ops against the defenders in the port region

Awesome. Where's the aiship from (I assume it isn't scratchbuilt?)? And how the devil did the Tibetians get their hands on it?

unbelievable
congratulations!

why do I not get to play such games?

what zeppelin is that? it looks so huge

[Ignatieff]

I've asked The Dalai Soapy where he got the kit from.  It was a cracker, even had lights that went on in the gondola.  As to why they have it, well its a result of the eight campaigns we have been running.  In 1918 a German zeppelin disappeared over the Himalayas, and the Tibetans captured it.  The crew 'joined the cause', and with the aid of newly developed Yak dung technology, produced a new safe form of gas which allowed the development of Yak Air, the Tibetan national airline.......well you did ask!

the observatory is rather nifty
not a building you usually see.

scratch built by one of our number, Cameron Thomson (aka Von Stauffenberg).  I tried my hand at it, but gave up in the end.  The roof swivels and comes off to reveal the usual fiendish workings inside.

Wow, that's a biggun' of a zeppelin.

[Admiral Benbow]

Brilliant setup as usual, I'm speechless ... 

[former user]

You think we could do something like that too?

[d phipps]

Awesome! 

[gamer Mac]

Unbelievable 
Is there anything not involved in this game?
Excellent set up, great looking game.
Now on to read parts 2 & 3

[Leapsnbounds]

Now along with the Pulp Pistol survey, this is the stuff I am talking about.  The set-up is fantastic.  I can only aspire to such heights.

[leadfool]

Looks great.

What are you using to hold up the Zeppelin?
