Wages snatch at the Fulham chemical works (Geezers blag). Pic Heavy

[Thunderchicken]

Being in possession of the fantastic figures Jeff965 painted for me, a game of Geezers was in order over the weekend. None of us had played the rules before so the game was nothing fancy. I apologise in advance for the temporary nature of the terrain and figures bases, LAFers who know me know that's not my usual style. The thing is we were impatient to get a game under our belts so I didn't have time to base the figures properly and used half finished terrain pieces I've been working on for my Quatermass project.

Anyhoo, enough with the excuses. Here goes with some pics of the game.

The Scenario

It's Friday and that means wage snatches are on the cards. The Sweeney has had a tip off that the wages delivery to the Fulham chemical works are going to be hit. They aint wrong! Tosh MacTavish and his gang have had their eye on the works for some time and badly need the poppy to fund a bigger job in the city. Regan's nose is twitching about this one, he knows it'll be messy when it kicks off. He's rarely wrong. He's four up in the area car with Sgt George Carter, the stoppo driver DC Del Baker, and DC Ray 'Thumper' Barnes. An armed response team has been assigned for backup.

The security van is pulling into the works......



The Setting

The Fulham chemical works:







The Cast

The security guards, bless 'em (The van is still WIP):



Tosh MacTavish (far right) and his mob with their motors for the job. The gang aren't shy about using shooters:



Armed response team (The Rover is a conversion and still WIP - with thanks to Svennn and his spray gun):



The heavy mob with Regan in his usual good mood. The Granada is in the garage so the area car is a Rover 2000 today :





Pictures of the game to follow.

This looks like a cool set up Neil. I like the look of the chemical works.

I feel I should add "you slaaag" or something for atmosphere.

Mate, for a WIP set-up it looks great and I look forward to the finished article.
 

Maybe you could bring it to BLAM...?

The Job

Will it happen? The cash leaves the security van.





Yep! MacTavish and his gang make their move, blocking the security van and going for the poppy.




The player controlling the blaggers decided it would be a good idea to block the gates with the tanker to prevent the Old Bill from getting into the works. Problem is, it also blocked their escape route.




Firearms support arrives at the entrance to the works and tries to persuade the bagger guarding the gate to let them in.




Meanwhile the heavy mob make their entrance, they were already positioned inside the works. MacTavish sees his plan falling apart.




The blaggers starburst. Two make a stand and one bottles it, legging it further inside the works.




A quick exchange of gunfire sees a blagger and DC Baker go down wounded. MacTavish has had enough, it's a fair cop. 




You're nicked sunshine! While being arrested MacTavish accidently falls on DC 'Thumper' Barnes' fist a few times. Clumsy that.




Regan gives chase to one of the blaggers. As in the TV series you just know he's going to climb up one of those ladders!




Sure enough he does, but after a quick stand off is cornered and gives up.




As for the blagger on the gate, his bottle goes when he sees the firearms unit drive through the fence.




He soon gives himself up. "Come on son, a pick axe handle is no match for my gun."




All in all, a job well done. Whisky and twenty Rothmans back at the nick. DC Baker will be on the mend in no time and the MacTavish gang is looking at a long stretch in the boob.

We had good fun with the game and the rules were quite easy to pick up. Guns can be quite devastating so for the next episode it's pick axe handles and fisticuffs all round.

Cheers old fruit. I could do, depends on the interest as Overlord ran a Geezers game three or four BLAMs ago. 

[Jeff965]

Brilliant, I'm lovin it. 
Cracking terrain and the figures are made for the scenario ( if that makes sense).

Cheers Jeff! We're basing the episodes around the figures 

[warburton]

Brilliant stuff!

[Dr. Zombie]

Brilliant stuff!

Are the power masts scratch buildt or did you buy them somewhere?

[Thunderchicken]

Thanks chaps 

Are the power masts scratch buildt or did you buy them somewhere?

They are made by a Japanese company called KATO, I think I got them cheap from e-Bay. Fenris sell 28mm scale pylons if you want something bigger. They are on my wish list.

Lovely set up and fabulous terrain. It does look a little too neat and clean for 70s Britain. Actually it looks abot too neat for a chemical works at any point in time. That said it is a gorgeous layout. Looks like a fun game too.

[Lowtardog]

Cracking looking game lightening goose! Good set of rules to boot, I think Overlords game must have been more like 7 or 8 years ago

[monkeylite]

Excellent looking game. Brilliant car choices, as well. Where is the white building from?

How are the Geezers rules?
