Shootout in the Sands! Perilous Island game 1
« on: November 19, 2014, 10:22:38 PM »


NEWSFLASH
Famous archeologist Professor James Darrow of Vanderbilt University Missing!
Foul Play Suspected!
His only son, Bertram Darrow, an up and coming archeologist currently on site in the Egyptian hinterland, may hold the clue to the missing Professor's whereabouts. Even now teams, good and bad, are racing to secure young Darrow's assistance.

The Dig Site

Plot Points Numbered

1-Bertram's tent, containing asps and letters.
2-Bluto, Betram's faithful man servant
3-Strange Idol, translate the non Egyptian runes or sell for quick cash
4-Bertram's Luggage
5-Bertram Darrow, Major Plot Point

Evie, Rick & Jonathan [Number Two Daughter]


LuftJaeger, Scarlet and local Mook #1 [your humble narrator]


Space Queen ZhaZha and troops [the Missus]


Kim, Ron and Yuri Kunoichi [Number One Daughter]


Kim's team approaches from the West

While from the South LuftJaeger skulks forward

ZhaZha's troops come in from the NE

Evie leads her team in from the East


Ron and Yuri secure the idol after a brief tussle with Mook


Scarlet rushes up to Darrow and persuades him to accompany her


Mook's not out of the fight yet


LuftJaeger starts softening up Bluto with some persuasion of his own


Meanwhile, Space Queen ZhaZha leader trooper to the truck to start loosening the chains securing the luggage


While Evie and Space Sergent tussle in the Tent [the card represents the tent interior]


Yuri pursues Scarlet, only to succumb to lead poisoning


Rick and Jonathan square off for a long fight over the heathen idol


Kim, seeing Yuri fall, rushes down the pyramid after Scarlet and Bertram


Space Sarge, securing the goods, leaves Evie stumbling in the tent


Kim catches up with Scarlet while behind them, Ron having KO'd Rick in a surprising finish, starts a gunfight with LuftJaeger


ZhaZha, having secured the luggage and tent letters, consolidates her forces at the truck


Kim and Scarlet start slinging lead


While Ron valiantly keeps fighting


ZhaZha enjoys the show


Until challenged by Evie, but Evie watches helplessly as the aliens flee with the loot


Space Queen ZhaZha leaves with the luggage and the letters


LuftJaeger leaves with Bertram and Bluto, leaving Mook to wonder where his employer went


Kim and Ron skedaddle with the idol and Yuri unconscious body


Evie and friends left with bupkis



Another great game of Pulp Alley and awesome intro to the campaign that my family looks forward to continuing.
Though we did forget to do the explosions in turn four.
Unseen by the camera, Mook and Space Trooper #1 sent several turns at the end shooting at each other at long range.
Thanks for looking.

While Evie and Space Sergent tussle in the Tent

There's nothing quite like a good tussle in the tent!  ;)

Looks like a seriously good game. Absolute mayhem and some very interesting plot points. Looking forward to more..........................

Very cool! That looked like lots of fun.  :D

Oooh, the 'Final Flight' scenario is a fun one. Note that it's only intended for 2 players, but it can be short and quick, so you can easily do two games.

Hydra has a whole line of swell pulp scifi minis and they're good people to deal with.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Hydra has an awesome range of figures. They are a wee bit on the tallish side, but that's just fine for Space Amazons.  ;)
