A while ago my local club played a large Back of Beyond game, that involved two aircraft being shot down. The following is a report of the follow-up game to find out what happened to the airmen...

The initial battle was run using Contemptible Little Armies and this follow-up using .45 Adventure with a few 'home brew' rules to cover hidden movement etc

Captaingeneral refereed the game whilst players took on the roles of the two airmen, German Zeppelin crew, Chinese Warlord, Bolshevik commander & the Imperial British rocketcorps....

Apologies for the dodgey accents :oops:

Great report!

:love:

Is that a tram car in the frame with the Bolshies?

A DH2 and a Zeppelin! You get extra cake for that.

In fact you get all the cake.

Hi Thanks for the cake it was luvverly

The Tram car model is a 1/72 resin model of a wrecked tram, but for the life of me i can't remember which company....i bought it at Penarth Show 2 years ago...

I wrote some special rules stealing ideas from the Fury of Dracula Rules, with hidden movement and a trail track on a secret map board for the airmen.

"The Germans go for their usual subtle approach"
"The British rocketcorps pause for tea"

: I loved those phrases... Those should be home rules for every pulp game :mrgreen:

Excellent stuff. Glad to see such excellent reports coming in.

Every good pulp game should include at least one exploding rocket trooper. :

For a serial and a battle report that was pretty diconnected, but witch those kind of images it is so easy to fill in the blanks. Here, bartender! Next round of that man is mine!

I work doing artwork for a printing company so I have a wide range of software available. For this the layout was done in Quark Xpress, photos edited using Photoshop & Illustrator

It's the first report of tried like this and I'm quite pleased with how it came out

The rocketcorps are from Scheltrum
