I'm with Doug.  That reference is vaguely familiar, but I'm not placing it....

In any event, another great story.  Your team took this one on the chin a bit, though.  Hopefully, King has a speedy recovery...

That old classic tune, King of the Road, shurely?  ;)

That's what I first thought.  Not sure though.  But I'm likely over-thinking it, as I'm prone to do.... 8)

Just a minute….!There’s more. The King is is a human catalogue of my favourite era of pop music:

"King was a wanderer most of his life, drifting from town to town"

With his two fists of iron and he’s going nowhere. Right? With Flo on his left and Mary on his right I don’t doubt.

Another great story/game, I  went back to the beginning of the thread and realised you aren't using Zona Alfa but 5 Parsecs from Home. I played out a game a couple of days ago and struggled with my first use of the Z. A. Set.

Are you using the combat rules from 5 Parsecs or just the campaign aspect of it?

The last game scenery works incredibly well for such a simple set up, the backdrop helps a lot but the building being placed on a different coloured tile? works with the bits and pieces seting it all off nicely. Impressive.

Someone asked if you were soloing this but you also made some reference to our group does this. Just curious which way you're playing.

Looking forward to more from your team.

Love the story.
Great terrain.
I see you are using vehicles for the movie "Cars."
My grandson has a lot of them,
Maybe I will steal (borrow) some of them. ;)
Look forward to the next story.

Yes, I am playing this one solo.

Daeothar - green screen although I use black and I'm having some problems with it.  Mike - I laughed at your comment about agent smith.  Although if you could see the agents close up you'd swear two of them are agents from some international law enforcement agency.  Doug - I've taken a look at your campaign, very nice.  Vagabond - I'm using the combat system as well.  I've only got the original rulebook and I really like the balance between the time spent on campaign issues and the time spent playing the battles.  The tile is a textured brown one that makes a very nice dirt parking lot, but doesn't photograph so well.  Marine0846 - yes, as I said a little bit of painting (the eyes are gone) and modelling and you have a vehicle right in scale with the figures.  And I got them cheap too.

And thanks to everyone for your interest.

These reports are brilliant.  I have a pdf of 5 Klicks from the Zone which could add some interesting between game to Zona Alfa games if combined.

New Campaign, Week four

The Kid was up and about early today, determined to be a full member of the team again.  Artur would be out for one week and King would be out for a while unless we could find him some specialized medical care.  I decided to go into town one more time to scout out these mysterious individuals searching for us.  If I didn't find anything solid I'd stop wasting my time.  Dalila, who'd become quite a saleswoman, would search for a new project for us.  Max would do some shopping.  I noticed Dalila was much more attentive to her surroundings now, perhaps a side effect of her time in the zone.  To be honest I guess I am too. (+1 reactions for both).

Dalila was contacted by several "procurement" specialists for a rather wealthy individual who remained nameless.  He was looking for some flexible delivery people and we had come recommended.  A simple delivery, but with some conditions attached.  First, the mission needed to be done without anyone finding out anything had been delivered.  This meant a night mission.  Second, the number of people knowing about the mission had to be kept to a minimum.  This meant a maximum of 4.  Bonuses would be paid. 

Dalila reported that she had trouble keeping a straight face as she solemnly agreed to only 4 participants instead of 6.  And that a night mission would be acceptable, but we had some conditions too.  She wanted to know if they could supply us with body armour.  They discussed it for a moment and agreed to supply 2 sets of corporate quality armor.  So we have a mission, and some new armour.

While I was in town I discovered a disturbing development.  A new group of people were searching for information about us.  A friendly contact of ours managed to get a picture.



Seeing their picture re-enforces my belief that they must be some kind of corporate security or government, perhaps international law enforcement.  We'll try to keep out of their way.  Max came home empty handed.  I think he needs to pick up some hints on how to deal with people.

We await the item to be delivered.

The plot thickens, those 2 are are probably trouble, unless they have a job for you.

Beware men in suits.

Horseman's Deli is an iconic building in Horseman's Flatts, I put a picture of it on my thread. I've got a team investigating how you have discovered it's whereabouts. Is there a rift in the space time continuum I wonder.

I'll be back to read about how your team go on with the job. Do they have a name? It might be good for business!
Cheers

Are you sure they're not just long list U.N.C.L.E.s?

Great campaign. I do like the between game activities that help grow the storyline

careful, getting involved with U.N.C.L.E.s leads to a T.H.R.U.S.H. attack. lol lol lol
