My game was played earlier in the day and was a very tense affair but i'll let mason dilvulge the result in his battle reports!!
And here is a brief rundown of what happened with a few piccies thrown in for good measure.
First off, here is the board set-up we used, representing a small farm not far from the waters of Lough Neagh.
The Scenario was Treasure Hunt with the Agents of the Ministry attempting to find the evidence that the Cult of the Purple-headed Worm had left somewhere on the Farm.
Unbeknown to the good men of Murphy's Law, the Cult had left a small group behind to protect it!
The Ministry team enter the silent farmyard just as dawn is breaking.
As the men from the Ministry entered the Farmyard, the Cultists had been sleeping off the excesses of the previous night in the hayloft of the stables.
One of the more alert zealots, who had been busy throwing up out of the window, spotted the Agents of His Majesty enter the yard and raised the alarm.
The Cult Leader roused the rest of his followers, who grabbed their weapons and headed down the stairs for the vehicles that were parked in the yard.
The team had split up, two of the heroic Agents had been sent to search the buildings outside the yard, with Murphy leading two of the Agents towards the main gates.
The Cultists had moved into the courtyard, with the Cult Leader and a couple of his brethren heading for his car, whilst the fella with the Tommy-gun went to open the main gates.
As the Tommy-gunner opened the main gates he spotted an Agent approaching and ruthlessly gunned him down in a hail of lead.
(The two d6 in the picture were Lockswin's futile attempts at cover saves...
)
A furious firefight had developed with the Ministry team realising that they had overstretched themselves slightly, with three members engaging the enemy whilst the remaining two searched frantically for what they had come for!
A crazed Maniac came howling out of the building next to the gates, charging furiously towards the Agent with the Tommy gun.
The Alert Agent opened fire, hitting the Maniac full on, but the insane Toughness of the crazed loony enabled her to shrug off the effects of the bullets and tear into the unfortunate Ministry man, ripping him to shreds with her meat cleaver that was concealed inside the teddy bear she was wielding!
With two Agents down, things were starting to look grim for Murphy's lads!
With two men down, and Murphy feeling rather exposed in the vicinity of the Maniac and Tommy gunner, he fell back to where the other two Agents were frantically searching for the stash.
Screaming to his men to "Hurry up and find it!", they redoubled their efforts with one of the team coming up trumps!
Now they just had to get away with the fruits (
) of their labour!
Realising that the accursed Agents of the Crown were on the verge of escaping with their Treasure, the Cult Leader used the 'trigger word' to activate the inner reserves of the Maniac and ordered her to kill the Agent who was trying to escape with his swag.
With a blistering turn of speed (using her Heroic skill), the Maniac covered the distance between them and laid frenziedly into the Agent dragging the crate.
The Agent was desperately fending off the blood-soaked teddy bear wielded by the frothing lunatic, but things did not look good for his future career prospects until Murphy himself came to his rescue with his trust Service Issue sword!
The fight was prolonged and furious, enabling the rest of the Cultists to close the distance on the Ministry men attempting to escape with their prize.
Eventually, Murphy ended the ear-splitting screams of the lunatic with a swing of his sword that sliced cleanly across her throat, silencing her incessant tooth jarring wailing forever!
With shots from the rest of the Cult hitting the crates and the car between them, Murphy and the Agent dragged the Treasure off of the board to safety.
The men from the Northern Ireland Division triumph again.
Just!
That was a close call!
