@Froggy the Great: Ouch! Commiserations... Who were doing the ambushing?

Our first game was versus Red Hand Coven, which we took apart with ease. We had time for another game, so I set up near the saloon and let him deploy out of LOS - the RHC came back for payback after dark while the Twilight Order was unwinding. My posse mostly failed their grit rolls to be aware on the first turn, and ended up trying to charge the Barber shop where the RHC was fortified. It ended as one would expect, and the stories are good. I am painting up replacement Templars.

EXACTLY!

Vampifan, BTW (and totally off topic, sorry): played in a "modern SpecOps" game a few days ago with a modern version of the Red Hand Coven, it was a BLAST! (literally, because we attacked that papercraft Ebbles "Convoy" and literally burned 4 heavy trucks and 2 Humvees to the ground!)

Go Vamps!!!

Gonna play a scenario with Werewolves in the near future with a "modernized" version of Dracula's America rules this time - and then pictures will follow!

I would love to see that!

Great to hear your vamps performed so well in the SpecOps game. I have the Ebbles convoy you mentioned so I can picture it in my mind's eye. It sounds like it was a great game.

By the way, I do like your new avatar.

Who is he, please?

The fourth of my "Wargames Foundry" Zombie Gunfighters for "Dracula's America" is now finished, and thought you'd enjoy a group shot of all six miniatures I've painted for "Zomtober"

Vamps are born performers!

As the Red Hand Coven I've used old Foundry Street Violence figures that I used to represent vampire characters in the Vampire RPG aeons ago! (Juno's Crew, you have them!

)

I know you have Ebbles Convoy (I've seen the Humvees in your website a long time ago), so I've wondered you would like to hear what happened to mine!

Actually a dear friend of mine - the GM of that particular game - put them in the table as an inside joke of hers, because the 6 "SpecOps Girls" have long decided that they would NEVER use papercraft scenery in their modern games! And to be "officially" included in the group I had to literally burn the vehicles in that attack - yes, their sense of humor is that wicked!

(they're still Vampire Supermodels after all!)

Well, that's another inside joke! It's a 1/6 Action Figure of a PMC that they've given me as a "bribe" to try a SpecOps game with them, after they already abducted my GF to their crew! (and that guy supposedly looks very alike me!) I was always totally "been there, done that and have the scars and the PTSD" kind of thing about "modern operations" games, but in the end I enjoyed it immensely! We had VAMPIRES, for God's sake! Now I can say that I'm totally hooked on SpecOps Adventures! (specially playing the "bad guys!" against the girl's Covert Agents!

)

A close friend of mine - who was also in the line of "been there, done that, etc..." is gonna jump aboard in a game featuring a pack of werewolves in the near future - that's the game I will photograph and post the AAR here on LAF!

So our MULP and Gothic Horror group has now "officially" taken the plunge to SpecOps adventures! (and yes, Dracula's America will stay in the shadows for some more time... but I'll keep following this thread here on LAF!

Cheers!

Dammit, but you really know how to have a good time!

I look forward to reading about your new SpecOps adventures and wish you all the best of luck. That's the beauty of vampires - they can pop up anywhere, anytime.

Juno's Crew are such cool figures. I can totally see them working well as vampires.

Have fun, my friend!

I am a very, very lucky old bastard, I know!

Vamps are always cool! Seeing those wonderful "modern" miniatures from Spectra and Empress, I cannot stop thinking about MENA (Middle East / North Africa) insurgents and their ancestral relation with Assamite vampires...

And I've already been spotted around local toy stores looking for 1:50 scale die cast pick up trucks in order to convert them into Technicals for my "bad guys"...

The fact is that injecting supernatural elements into modern conflict scenarios turns the darker and somber aspects of warfare into something manageable and really fun in the games table! The girls, for exemple, most of them come from operational backgrounds, but got a really good time designing and playing their games of a small private group of covert operatives - think "Charlie Angels" meet "HOMELAND", OMG!

These are new waters for an old duck as myself, but let's see if a can put up a blog or something!

And thanks very much for the encouragement, pardner! Cheers!
