BMAP "Unholy Alliance" Part 1.5

[Ironworker]

And now the the exciting conclusion of BMAP "Unholy Alliance" Part 1.  

*Note:  At the end of the first half of the battle only one German soldier had been killed by the ghost not two like I had suggested.  I got confused by my photographs.

The BMAP agents trade fire with the Friekorps soldiers.  Two more Legionaires and a German are killed.  



Oswald ducks behind a stone crypt narrowly avoiding being killed.  



CLANK!  Agent Madaline attempts to fire the field cannon but her fisrt shot is a dud.  



The Germans fall back to a safer position.  


As the Germans and BMAP agents trade fire Agent Adelade and the last Legionaire manage to cross the bridge and make their way to the first crypt.  "Hmmm it looks as if I might be able to open this thing!" the agent explains.

[Ironworker]

Just as agent Claude it getting to the bridge a group of skeletons come out of the forest on the other side.  



Clink! Clank!  "Ah piece of cake!" exclaimes agent Adelade



"What is this? An unadorned sarcophagus?" says Adelade.  "Oh Mr. Legionair I think I will need your help with this".  



BOOM!  Agent Madaline fires the cannon and this time it's no dud.  



The frail bridge shakes from the impact as four skeletons are blown to bits.

[Ironworker]

The German troops help three of thier comrads destroy another ghost.  


"Ok I will open the lock then your slide the lid back." explains agent Adelade.



As soon as the stone lid is slid back a woman in full armor springs forth.  "FOOLISH MORTALS!  NOW YOU HAVE AWAKEN ME!  NOW YOU WILL DIE".  The vampire's eyes flash red in the darkness of her tomb.  



"Oh no they have awaken the vampire.  Perhaps I can find some garlic in this house!"  Agent Selina ducks into a nearby house to look for garlic.  



"Mein Gott!  They have awaken the creature.  Ve must stop them.  Follow me!"  Oswald leads his troops towards the vampires crypt as a Legionair flees from the undead horror.

[Ironworker]

Agent Claude fires his BAR widely as the remaining skeletons cross the bridge.  



Two of the creatures manage to engage him in hand to hand combat.  



The lone Legionaire regains his composure and in a bold move he starts to fire on the advancing Germans from the cover of the crypt.  



Agent Claude manages to drop one of his attackers with his bare hands.  



As the Vampire chases Agent Adelade from the crypt the German soldiers kill the last Legionaire.

[Ironworker]

At the other end of the graveyard a German soldier dies alone.  



Agent Salina runs out the door of the house she was searching with a string of garlic bulbs.  "I've found some!" she shouts.  



Agent Madaline and agent Salina rush across the bridge.



"Ok if you'll just help me finish off this last skeleton we can go rescue Adelade!"  agent Claude says as he ducks another blow.  "Hey where are you going!"



Realizing running will do her no good agent Adelade turns to face the vampire but she is highly outmatched and she suffers a sword wound.

[Ironworker]

"Shoot them both!  Ve can revive the vampire later!" Oswald shounts.  BLAM, BLAM!  BLAM, BLAM, BLAM!  The Freikorps fire at Adelade and the vampire and amazingly bring both combatants to the ground.  Selina gets there just in time to see her friend shot down.  



Agent Claude finally manages to kill the last skeleton but he's far from the important part of the battle.  



Madaline and Salina fall back to the cover of the ruined wall as they trade fire with the Germans.  



The German soldiers surge forward and recover the vampires body.  



They drag the body behind another crypt loosing another comrad in the attempt.

[Ironworker]

Oswald attempts to flee with his men but agent Madaline shoots him where he stands.  



Seeing their leader shot down the last five German soldiers escape into the forest with the body of the vampire.  



Agent Madaline inspects Oswalds body and finds he's still alive.  She picks up his book of secrets.  "Can't let this fall into the wrong hands" she tells herself.  



Claude and Salina rush to agent Adelade's side.  She's alive but just barely.  



The agents borrow a pair of abandoned trucks and after carefully loading agent Adelade and Oswald into the pickup they decide to head back to base rather than try to track down the Germans who escaped with the vampire.  

Fade to black.

Pulp at it's finest.  Looks like it was a great game.

Thanks.  I was really happy with the way this battle ended.  Couldn't ask better for a short narative campaign.  The Germans got away with an incapacitated Vampire but they left their leader and his book of secrets behind.  The agents are forced to return to base because of their wounds but they managed to recover important information as to exactly what is going on.  A perfect ending for continued adventure.

Exactly. I like a game with a strong element of story telling. Well done, I.
