Right, my friend Kevin has sent me the pictures I took so I can show what happened. This si a selection, there's a full gallery here:
https://plus.google.com/photos/102655438736593856896/albums/6064217823401130017
and they'll all be up on my site once my hosting service pulls its finger out and lets me edit the page.

As I mentioned before, we played the Assassination mission.
My team contained a Doctor and a Fixer controlled by myself and an Engineer and an Enforcer controlled by Giro my team mate. We were opposed by Kevin, with a Bureaucrat and a Doctor, and Mark with his Soldier and a Fixer.

Mark's toons


Giro's force


Kevin's


Both our plans involved hoovering up the trash mobs, spiders, leets and some bot hackers, who were hanging around outside the camp to stop them interfering later and to get the equipment rewards into our inventories before the main assault on the camp itself.



Kevin's Crat charms a spider and uses it to destroy some leets


It took the first turn to kill everything outside the camp and then both sides regrouped for the main event.

Entering the camp from different sides we started taking down the smugglers in order to draw out our target. Giro's Enforcer, pumped up with buffs and lucky armour and weapons finds launched a devastating attack on Kevin's Bureaucrat totally destroying her.



At the beginning of the final turn Mark's Soldier, backed up by the team's Doctor ran into the centre of the smugglers trusting to his superior fire power and the Doctor's medical skills to keep him alive long enough to kill the main target who appeared from one of the buildings.
He did well until the Enforcer hammered him into bits as well incidently gaining back the initiative for my team.







Since the target had obligingly appeared right next to my Fixer I unloaded on him to claim the victory for the good guys.



Lots more pics in the gallery, do have a look
It was a fun game and captured the feel of its source material well. here's to a few more goes at BLAM!

Congratulations to all involved on that game, it looked like a lot of fun! Nothing better than a good group of players and some stunning terrain and figures

The full game report is here:

with all the photos.

Also, I have added a PDF of the professions if any prospective players want to have a quick think about what they'd like to play before BLAM

For those who don't care for PDFs, here's a picture:

That's just too slick! 

I'm rather drawn to the Fixer archetype.

These are the nano programs that each Fixer starts with:

It looks like the Fixer has some nice touches in terms of gameplay and potential interaction with teammates.

[matakishi]

All the professions have interaction with their team mates, that was the starting principal. Consequently, no one can do everything on their own and so need team mates to fill the gaps in their abilities in order to succeed. The most obvious is the Doctor who provides healing for everyone and, in turn, relies on them to keep the Doctor safe.

[Elk101]

It's a very nice idea, I like the team ethos.

[matakishi]

Last night we played the Data Retrieval mission. this was designed to be the introductory mission to allow players to get a feel for the mechanics of the game and, more importantly, the essential teamwork that needs to be employed to succeed.



The game lasted four turns and took an hour and a half which is pretty good for a four player game. My team lost really, really, badly this time and it was all my fault too.

Here are some sample pics of the action.

This will open the proceedings at BLAM so study it well and learn from my incompetance

[Eric the Shed]

Loving this...roll on saturday

[Elk101]

In fairness it also sounds like you were a bit unlucky!

[matakishi]

The problem was not having enough points on my Doctor at the crucial moment, everything else was secondary, and that was entirely down to me not concentrating on the plan.
Having to cope with a crap Fixer was an added bonus too, but not a game loser.
