The German garrison stand ready
This Lady Hussar guards the lab at all costs
The British are assisted by an escaped scientist who has told them of a secret way under the walls. The British decide to send their Naval Landing Party right at the gates, while the rest find the secret way in. They must find the technology and destroy any new weaponry they can't carry with them.From the start, the deadly fire from the German garrison is telling. Not a man makes it through the gate house.
Sir Nigel scouts the walls.
Sir Nigel's forces fair little better and only just make it into the castle before being slaughtered.In hindsight, the Brits should have had more troops, but only a handful of folks made it out. Instead of GASLIGHT, we used my Fistful of Lead rules, which worked great for the small action.
Lady Hussars prove deadly accurate
Captain Pennyworth gets farther than any of his men
Corporal Hastings pays back the Ladies
The Allies were not successful at all. They even got the scientist recaptured. But fear not, a Norwegian observatory has spotted a strange light in the sky, headed directly for Earth!
Lovely set up. I like that castle. Scratch Built?
ReplyDeleteVery nice setup!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the Germanic castle and the title of this post made me thing of The Great Race. What the Brits needed was Professor Fate's car ("he was dressed as a small friar." "he was dressed as a chicken?")
Maaaaaaaxxx!!!
I too feel there is a Great Race vibe in action,perhaps even a Chitty Chitty one too.
ReplyDeleteUtterly spiffing stuff on display,I can't wait to hear more...
Castle is Hudson and Allen. The first Christmas gift my wife ever gave me.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun! I have that same scientist miniature, and he cost me a pretty penny, I must say! But indispensable for my Mad Scientist of the Life Sciences, what?
