A few points:<br />As posted earlier we both prefer to hand wave the armour away and just call it defence, however I forgot a couple of times that as such Markham is unable to run (SRC = medium armour) so we are thinking what to do.(Sudden idea we could just raise cost of medium armour by 3 to compensate for running?)<br />Speed at 1 pt per increase is possibly too cost effective, +1” movement AND +1 defence in melee makes it a no brainer if you are creating your own companies.<br />The sniper at +5 SV, +3 for Hunting rifle, no modifiers for cover or shooting into combat and 36” range was awesome, but she was as bad (or good) in the earlier Flying Lead game she first appeared in.<br />ERRATA <br />Page 63 Reference Sheet: under 4. Fighting it Says Roll 1d10 + SV + Weapon + other modifiers, it should be FV. Also personally I would add – opponents Speed.<br /><br />* A no-prise awarded to anybody who works out where the 2 names of the nurse come from, and who or what links the names of the marine privates.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632754524535398795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668577041425925534.post-531436606736385752013-05-23T12:10:53.894+01:002013-05-23T12:10:53.894+01:00Part 2 In the meantime Jock and Pvt Douglas waited...Part 2 In the meantime Jock and Pvt Douglas waited outside the tenement while Pvt Croker secured the scientist and started escorting him to the exit point. DrV’s Ironman ponderously carried on advancing on the building ignoring the few hits it received. Now came my biggest mistake, I knew I would have to spend a shooting phase in sight and range of the sniper as I tried to get to my exit point, but knowing I was going to be hit I hesitated allowing both Mad Mick O’Hooligan to get into combat with Jock and Pvt Douglas, and the sniper to start advancing down the street, this hesitation allowed the Iron man to get into close combat and easily deal with Pvt Croker. In the meantime I was easily hitting Mick, but could not put him down as he kept making his pluck rolls, before disaster struck and Pvt Douglas fell in combat. With DrV himself having control of the scientist, and the only members of my company still standing being Jock, Lizzie and Pvt Everett, I was happy to call it there and congratulate my opponent for a well played, and deserved victory. After the ritual of shaking hands, we checked on the status of our fallen heroes with the resulting deaths of Pvt Anders and Pvt Douglas, while all the other casualties recovered. We did decide that there must be previous relationship between Commander Markham and the mystery sniper and after a die roll it was determined SHE left him at the alter, and we both look forward to further revelations in their relationship in further encounters between the 2 companies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632754524535398795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668577041425925534.post-76301989702410631362013-05-23T12:10:20.762+01:002013-05-23T12:10:20.762+01:00Part 1 My company was based on the British rifle c...Part 1 My company was based on the British rifle company by way of Star Trek and Bond. So it was led by Commander James Markham, Captain with Inspirational, Duellist (Sabre) and Arc pistol for 76 pts; Sergeant “Jock” McDonald with Bayonet drill and Tough for 36 pts; Nurse Lizzie* Church with Martial artist for 18 pts and 5 Red shirt Marines with Bayonet drill for 24 pts apiece, a total of 250 pts exactly.<br />The mission was rescue a VIP (an important scientist) on a 4’ by 4’ table, with my start point being 12” from the SW corner along the South side and DrV’s being 12” from the NE corner along the East side.<br />So my plan was to split into 3 teams with Jock and 2 marines (Pvt Anders and Pvt Bromhead) heading for the building holding the scientist, Lizzie and 2 marines (Pvt Croker and Pvt Douglas) moving forward and setting themselves up on the roof of a Sarissa building to give covering fire, and finally Commander Markham and a marine (Pvt Everett) hooking round to the East and North to cover DrV’s exit point. Like any plan it failed when confronted by the enemy, DrV’s female sniper (based on the big game hunter + marksman – knife and pistol) nested up on another roof 30” away from Lizzie and proceed to drop one of her 2 marines every turn leaving Lizzie to patch them up with her actions, until they eventually failed their recovery pluck rolls. The Commander and Pvt Everett dealt with 2 ruffians before he charged after the sniper who had returned to street level , he made it half way (not being able to run from his medium armour) before being hit and having rolled a 1 for his pluck roll he knew no more. The sniper advanced forward to help secure the scientist and came in sight and range of the Pvt Everett, who fired, hit and took her out of the fight leaving her lying next to Commander Markham.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632754524535398795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668577041425925534.post-11539923847779305402013-05-20T21:40:04.750+01:002013-05-20T21:40:04.750+01:00And a story I look forward to hearing :)And a story I look forward to hearing :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
