Fistful of Lead Golden Age Supers: The Last Boat Out

 

Last night was the first in few months where Thursday didn't involve snow. A perfect time for part 2 of our Golden Age Supers game.

Last episode the Liberty Legion failed to stop Projekt Ragnarok from releasing an interdimensional being during an ancient ritual in the Central American jungle. Not only was the Liberty Legion soundly defeated but they last a number of heroes in the process. They've put out the call out to the local heroes to stop the baddies from reaching their awaiting U-Boat.

The scenario was simple, get the "Emissary" to the sub, or stop it.

The game itself was a mash up of Fistful of Lead rules, showing how easily the different books can be used together: Core, Wasteland Warriors and Fantasy.

Easy, just get the alien being past shark infested waters to the sub.

Numer Uno and Glamazon await with the local Federales.

Sea Wolf takes up position.

The Emissary guarded by Uber-Man, Agent Axis, Weapon H and some reanimated corpses from the last game. The Emissary had the powers of a Necromancer form Fistful of Lead Fantasy.

A revitalized Sentinel of Justice and a new Lucky clone fresh out of the freezer (shhhh, don't tell him. He doesn't know he's a clone...).

Nachooooooo Libre and Cucaracha lead more brave locals.

Did I mention the sharks?

Glamazon (former starlet who swam in a cursed lake while filming The Swamp Creature) blocks the road.

Blitz shoots forward to unleash his Electroblast....

...promptly rolls a 1.

The heroes decide to fall back and cut off the villains at the choke point of the pier.

Weapon H (a cloned Hitler head in a robot suit) leads a Grunt group of zombies.

Uber-Man takes to the sky!

A brave soldier charges forward and knocks 3 Germans into the sharky waters. Any wounded miniature in the water at the end of the turn is automatically chum!

Glamazon stomps Sea Wolf into a wet pile of fur.

But the Emissary floats closer...

...closer...

This poor soldier has a front row seat to a clash of Titans! 

Despite a brave defense, including Lucky boarding the tug boat to try and ram the sub, the Liberty Legion once again is defeated. Next episode will be the epic conclusion with an international cast!

I'll have the video after action report up soon!

Galactic Heroes: The Jedi Hunters

In the aftermath of Order 66, Imperial Inquisitors have been dispatched to hunt down the last of the Jedis. Using a false distress beacon, the Sith have lured Jedis to some deserted Jungle Ruins.

The scenario was simple.  The Jedis had to find the source of the false signal to keep any more Jedis from being lured to their deaths, and take out any Sith.

The Imperial forces had to kill any Jedi they found.

The Jedis. Withe Ahsoka and a very much alive Mace Windu. "I ain't dead mutherf....!"

The dreaded Sith Inquisitors.

Each player had a Force Wielder along with bodyguard of 4, including a heavy weapons specialist.

Mace and escorts explore the temple ruins.

The Mon Calamari sniper proved to be the VIP of the game. Three times he tried to shoot an Inquisitor and 3 times the shot was deflected back at him. Wounded several times he kept getting back up and finally scored a hit, taking out the Seventh Sister.

First blood went to the probe droid. A very confused Jedi then went down to a blaster bolt moments later.

A quick Force Leap across the river to engage the Jedi...

...leads to a fight with Mace defending a certain Droptrooper. Mace skillfully removed the Sith's head.

The escort troops start exchanging fire.

By turn 4 the Imperials have lost all 3 Inquisistors. Time to call in the drop ships and escape.

Great 6 player game over in 90 minutes! The Jedis were victorious with some really cinematic moments. The 2nd edition of Galactic Heroes is available for preorder now at Wiley Games, and the whole game can be viewed here!

Galactic Heroes: The Great Mercenary Mash Up

 

Previously a Majordomo, Bib Fortuna now lays claim to Jabba’s vacant throne. He builds an army of mercenaries to keep hold of his grip on Covid Prime.

 

But sometimes fate steps in to rescue the wretched. A long thought dead former bounty hunter returns from the dune seas to challenge Fortuna’s claim to Jabba’s criminal empire.

 

We had an 8 player game of Fistful of Lead Galactic Heroes. Four players were part of Bib's crew while the other worked for Boba Fett. There were places around the town that protection money could be collected, but also rivals to rub out.

Just a few of the mercenaries.

The town is quiet. A little too quiet...

Somebody's pet got loose when the first Joker is used.

Boba knocking on doors and demanding tribute

Great use of a drone in the game.

"Oh crap, Precious is loose!"

Snipers make use of the high ground.

"You're in the wrong part of town, kid"

We had a great time. A Rancor got loose. Tuskens showed up to cause trouble. Boba's team (ME!) chewed threw the opposition pretty easily with only the loss of 4 mercenaries. There's a new boss in town!
