So today we entered the new world of Sleeping dragon, Rising sun from IHMN I chose the The brother hood of the Serpent as my company and Alec had his British company. We chose the Embassy compound as location with its complications armed civilians and bystanders and the Scenario was catch the pigeon (Dog)
Alec laid all the terrain out and it looked the great the dog was upstair sleeping his collar had some information on both sides urgently wanted
2 Iron vehicles only for show in the park
Queen of the seas, captain Chin , a first mate and musket men and swords men were her company
Captain Flashheart (dedication to the great Rick Mayall who passed this week and gave us such joy and fun) Dr Eddie SGt Boridge and the rest stalwart troopers of the Queen
Flashheart enters and seek to grab the dog and do a runner
The pirate queens men dash and make to stop the British and her plans
civilians and staff run for cover as the 2 company's arrive
DR Eddie enters the compound
the pirates split to encircle the British
Spike says in the room out the way best place unseen un heard
brushing civilians aside the Serpent brother hood charges in
the British take aim and fore on the advancing pirates but to no effect (yes alot of 1s)
they continue to try to pick of the pirates but to no avail
Flashheart enters the house followed close by Dr Eddie
the pirates have trouble passing the civilians
an armed officer of the compound shots dead a pirate who got too close
Sgt boridge just shoots dead an armed officer to make it less trouble???
as a pirate fires into the house Miss Lilly dispatches the pirate with her revolver in the head for his actions
close hand to hand fighting starts as the wonderful words "not many casualty's have happened?"
Sgt major engages a charging pirate
the Queen and her party Storm the alley way
Flash now up stairs spots the dog "grab the pouch and were away Eddie"
Civilians run to the house for safety blocking the corridors
a blow to the head drops the pirate and the SGT major struggles with whats coming down the alleyway
a pirate is no match for 3 of the Queens finest
Flash grabs the dog to see his escape blocked so makes for the window
the Sgt major is now outnumbered by pirates
the queen and crew enter the building swords ready
melee out side with pirate vs trooper
the civilians block all the courses
Flash on the roof looks to see his escape plan
the troopers try to delay the Queen but are cut down
the Sgt major struggles against the pirates who wont die
troopers fall to the blades of the Serpent
Flash goes for it jumps off the roof (and Alec rolls a 1 )
he lands not on his feet but head and (after rolling a 2 he is out of the game) the Brits loose there leader
Spike thinks back to safety
the pirates slay the SGT major and his troopers near the door
the Queen kills Dr Eddie outside in the alley way
a lone trooper kills the 1st mate but is then slain by the captain
Spike trys to get back in the house
the captain makes short work of another trooper and he bayonets a pirate
the last trooper near the house fends off the captain and a pirate
the queen re enters the house searching for spike
the trooper falls to steel
the dog jumps off the roof and is caught by the Captain as the Queen follows him down (yes she made all her rolls)
the final trooper is slain all the British are dead the pirates victorious
Spike is carried off by the Queen and Captain, Victory to the Serpents
a lot of carnage and casualty's , we had so much fun and laughing as poor flash failed his rolls that's why the game is so great. the new company's in the book well all look great the Brother hood was really good
That looked like a lot of fun. I am so tempted by this skirmish game. But....I really need to at least pretend to finish a few other projects first. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteAnother great game! Love Spike.
