Combat Zone report - warning - unpainted minis inside :s
« on: May 06, 2008, 11:10:52 PM »
Last night we played a three player game of combat zone. However we use the force lists from Babylons burning. anyhow, here's an overview:

Everyone knows the mob uses middle men for a lot of its business, however sometimes these do not perform as well as planned. This resulted in the "loss" of sensitive material. as soon as the mobsters knew about their leakage a hit squad was send out, accompanied by a small group of gangers to retrieve the missing packages.

The government however also send out a SWAT team and a small police group. Meanwhile a group of scavengers heard via their channels that some interesting materials couls be salvaged.

On three points of the map packages were lying around. The only way to wins was by claiming two packages of getting them of table.

At one side of the table the SWAT team took place:


Meanwhile the gangers came from a shallow corridor into the neighborhood.:


The scavenger stealthily watched everyones deployment from a ruined building:


The gangers run out into the streets:

Scavengers take firring positions and see a disorganized group of hooligans showing up:



In the meanwhile the SWAT member with an assault rifle take up a firing position on the top floor of a building, having nice lines of fire:



The scavengers take more reliable firing position:


One of the mob hitmen sneak up to a building but sees a SWAT member on the other side and wisely retreats in the following turns:


At the other side of the table the scavengers also get nearer to their objective, completely ignoring the police:


The mafiosi opposite the entrenched scavengers also take up a nice firing position:


A red haired police officer manages to capture an objective and makes a break for it:


On the other side the SWAT and gangers get into a hefty fire fight:


The scavengers spot the police officer running away and gun her down


The mobsters assault a scavenger position and manage to out shoot them.


things however now turn for the worse for the police as the scavengers and the gangers manage to take most of them down:










After this the scavenger hunt down all the mobsters and managed to kill all opposition on the table claiming victory
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

nice... spot a couple of Amera buildings (waiting on my first one at the moment)....

any long shots of the table to see the buildings/layout? what are you using for the pavement?

EDIT: just noticed the unfinished bits... looks good for foamcore....

It is indeed foamcore.

Some more pictures of the table + the making of the sidewalks from foamcore can be seen over here:

Great looking game. I think your temporary road-block needs some work, though  :lol:

you mean the can of beer?  We managed to finish that part of the terrain in the evening  :lol:

As for the rest, there is indeed still quite a lot of unpainted stuff on the table. That's why there's a warning in the title of the topic. The rest of this month will be a lot of work on painting scenery and the occasional LPL groups. Hopefully the next report (in a few weeks) will have more painted stuff.

Wow, talk about taking old cows out of a ditch... Ok, that's a Dutch expression that doesn't really work in English  :D.

Anyway, even thoug its a rather old topic to be replying to, it is nice to see that many of the unpainted mini's in the battle report have by now actually been painted and have received some reinforcements (I was one of the three people that played the game, but I guess you figured that out from my post...)

Nice looking table and game report. What is the orange building and who makes it? You can never have to much terrain for a good city fight. :D

The orange thing (which at the moment is being repainted) is a hot wheels wash station.
