Last Friday we did another in our ongoing series of Weird ACW2 games. This one took place in an undiscovered lost valley in the little known country of Dumpistan. It involved two forces (one a consisting of the French Foreign Legion plus some adventurers and the other a generic Arab force), both attempting to loot the lost tomb of the legendary Dalai Chuck. Apparently, they had both been sold the same treasure map in the local tourist trap. The forces entered on opposite sides of the table and had to advance for a few turns before the first contact took place. This entailed the Legion's armor commander rashly advancing his armored halftrack against the Arabs without any infantry support. This resulted in a fight between the halftrack and an Arab armored car supported by an antitank rifle and a couple of units of good quality infantry. Unfortunately, for the French they lost both the firefight and the halftrack. After this both sides advanced more cautiously until the French set foot on the tomb grounds and activated the tomb guardians (an Efreeti, a Djinn, a mummy and a unit of ghouls. At first the guardians focused on the FFL which allowed a couple of Arab militia units to enter the tomb, put a unit on the roof and begin looting it. Unfortunately (for the Arab tomb raiders) they were not trained archeologists and they set off a booby trap which killed the tomb raiders (and destroyed the tomb). At this point we called the game since it was getting late and we were hungry. It was a very close game and is just asking for a sequel.

Arab heroes - Ilhan the Ingrate, the Desert Shadow, Ubu and Achmed the Magnificent (who definitely did not live up to his name in this game).

After failing to activate for three turns the Arab archeologists debate their next move.

The tomb raiders find the lost treasure of the Dalai Chuck - the bottle of Barbara Eden, the tea kettle of Aladdin and a 40lb cubic zirconia - but fail to notice the booby trap! Better luck next time.

Well that's impressive.

Great collection, scenics and action. Looks a hell of a scrap!

Well done with all that!

And as we all know with any decent Pulp adventure, that booby trap couldn't possibly have destroyed EVERYTHING in that tomb....
