Fallout Red Rocket gas station (Signal Relay Station added)

[Ithaquatini]

Had our first try with the Fallout Skirmish v.7 rules by Weird Kreig.  Really fun stuff!
Here is a picture of the starting layout.

Battle for the safe objective.  Frag Grenades and Miniguns tore up the joint!  The Wasteland Survivor firing a minigun at my Vault Dweller Overseerer.  There was also a mobile eyebot and mobile settler objectives.

Some more pics of the gas station. Very much a work in progress.  Still have to paint the ground, highlight, add posters and details, and LOTS of weathering.  Based on a Plasticville  O-scale gas station.

Wow man! How cool to see the rules in action!! If you have any ideas on changes or improvements, let me know and I will edit them.
Love your city by the way. What mat are you using?

[Ithaquatini]

I was going to make up a rule set using SPECIAL, then THANKFULLY I saw yours.  Only one question at the moment, about grenades...  You roll with +2 to hit, if you miss it scatters.  How far does the grenade scatter?  What size diameter blast template do you use?  If it scatters, everyone under it only takes 1 Endurance check?

Did you ever get around to making up missions?

The mat is from Deep Cut Studios, and is cloth.
Thanks!!

Very nice table mate!

Lovely! Where did you get the rocket from?

[Ithaquatini]

Thanks!  I got the rocket off of Ebay, It was blue and I think it was advertised as a cake topper, came with a round, hill-like base.  The closest thing I could find to match the original.

Good catch on the grenades!
I'd say: D12/2 for scattering grenades (which is nice as you can use the D12 for both the direction and distance). For templates I designed a 3" and a 5" template (I like these sizes as they're used by many games). Frag, Plasma, Pulse Grenades, Heavy Incinerator and Rock-It Launchers with 3" templates and the 5" template for Nukas and the Missile Launcher.
Models directly hit by the attack or if the centre of the template scatters on top of their base take 3 Endurance checks and the rest 1 Endurance check.

Never got down to scenarios, but it shouldn't be hard to think of some cool Fallout missions. I'll see if I have some time soon.

One other thing I want to do is to reverse the SPECIAL system I used. Now low SPECIALs give better stats...but that of course is a bit silly in a Fallout game!! So that needs to be reversed. Not hard to do, but requires some focused reading and logical thinking.

[Ithaquatini]

OK, thanks a lot for that!
I do have to remind players that using SPECIAL, lower is better

[Ithaquatini]

Here is the mission we played.  I modified it some after the game.  It is built around the terrain that I have, so would have to be modified some for general use.

Spent some time to alter the Fallout Skirmish rules to reverse the SPECIALS. So now high SPECIALs are GOOD and low SPECIALs are BAD. And thus: low dice rolls are GOOD and high dice rolls are BAD.
Also tweaked some minor things here and there. But nothing major...yet. I will do some missions, add the rosters and images, etc. It's about time

Found the ebay listing for the curious: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RETRO-SCI-FI-STYLE-PLASTIC-SPACESHIP-ROCKET-MOON-MEN-VEHICLE-PARTY-CAKE-TOPPER-/201000081738?hash=item2ecc89d94a:g:HhYAAOxyQyJRmFkR

[Gunbird]

Yes, found that, only to be fooled by US cross Atlantic shipping costs once again. Dammit.

If you are trying to source a rocket somewhat like that, Pegasus Hobbies does a few that migth be suitable, Luna and Apollo 27 or some such? The latter has a main rocket body plus three rocket engine modules, it's pretty nice. Maybe you might be able to find one locally?

Oh, and nice job on the gas station!

[Gunbird]

Oh, I've got the Apoll0 28 thing (somewhere) but thats intended for my Repconn display piece. As it is pretty damn big. Wish I could remember where I put it.

Something you'll come across rather easy in our lands is the Tintin rocket. Lost of sizes.
Unfortunatly they aren't that cheap.
