The Last Patrol -- Pulp Alley AAR
« on: December 29, 2013, 01:44:47 AM »
10:37am, somewhere very hot and very dry…




Grim faced warriors crouch behind makeshift barricades…
 



An ally in the air swoops in to break up the charge…




Rushing onward, the wave of fanatics is unstoppable…
 




Machineguns rips through the charging horde…
 
 
 



Using cover to conceal their advance, a small group outflanks the defenders…






With one gun overrun and the other under constant attack, a desperate situation is becoming hopeless…




One last ground attack, and the pilot salutes his comrades below as he turns towards the northern horizon…
 



And one more burst of hot lead is all that’s needed to break the last charge…
 



The guns were saved and the mules survived. Maybe they’ll get a medal…



THANKS

Oh wow, real action combat! Pulp Alley is scaling up!  :-*


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

Great stuff! Really atmospheric.  :-*

Say Dave, where'd you get the mules from, by the way?

Those are from Artizan, FFL pack mules. They came in a pack with a couple FFL fellows in coats and helmets.

The guys really had a ball playing this game. The goal of the new vehicle expansion is to make sure we can include some other fun stuff in our games without slowing it down or throwing off the balance.  ;)

Mila had much better luck with the plane than I usually do, but she had a 'target rich' environment.  lol lol

Actually I do have another question.

I see you set up gun emplacements with wide bases. Does this imply that there will be some sort of rule for gun emplacements? Like improved shooting for a character placed next to the emplacement as a gunner?

Yes, indeed! They were playtesting the new rules for crew-served guns.

I'm really happy with how these rules are working so far, but we'll do a bit more playtesting befor sharing any details.

Thanks for all the comments. Mila took all the photos for that scenario and I thought she did a great job.

We're glad you're liking the battle reports.





HAVE FUN
