Stargrave - The Last Prospector - Bar Brawl

Having left the bug planet, the crews were able to get some repairs done to their ships & refit their crews (as credits allowed)

As they prepared to depart the various depots, they received a new communication.

"I found it! The Bit Score! I don't want to say too much in case this message is intercepted..." (For those who own the expansion, you know the rest..for those who haven't yet...well what are you waiting for?) I am not going to type it all out 😁

We had 5 crews arrive at the location & as they were asking their questions of the various patrons, noticed others doing the same.

 


It's unknown who started it, but shouting began followed by the discharge of a blaster pistol....all hell broke loose!

Dans crew ran at the fellow attempting to unlock a data loot & melee'ed him, pushing him away.

 


As Craig's crew activated, his last infected member succumbed to the plague & turned into a zombie, immediately engaging the fellow beside him.

 


Meanwhile Craigs crew took out a bystander...the devolved quickly.

 

Chen threw up a force wall.

 


A Sentry Shock Trooper arrived & immediately jammed his weapon.

 


With more force walls going up, I dropped one in the far corner, pinning one of Chens crewmen with a bystander & a loot token.

 


Try as he might....& he tried a lot; he was unable to blast through the force wall & his crewman was captured by the Penthalian Security force.

 


Meanwhile my crew had to move around the force walls. A back & forth battle over the central Data Loot was occuring between Dan's force & my own.

 


Craigs Crew was able to dispose of the Zombie, but unfortunately had a crewman infected....the fun never ends!

 


More security arrived & after gettin shot at by Dans crew, waded in amongst them, felling all those who got into melee with them.

 


So it was quite an insane game, with all crews suffering numerous penalties with the various factions. Dan had several crewmen apprehended with very little credits to try to bail them out....

I had several crewmen taken out of action, but all survived their rolls to return next game. With Craig earning the highest Investigation at 4, we will be playing 'The Scrapheap' next...Stay tuned!

Muskets & Tomahawks...& Zombies? at EWG

Due to where Halloween fell this year, Richard had to wait until the Tuesday after, to host his Muskets & Tomahawks game. He wanted to do a Halloween themed game, so how better than to just add....ZOMBIES!

The scenario pitted 2 forces -  British & French heading to a ruined church where there was rumoured to be an ancient relic.

I played the British. My Rangers arrive on the foggy field.

 


As we neared the ruined church, some figures could be seen moving within the gravestones. One of the Ranger units opens fire, dropping a couple of the shambling figures.

 


The French forces also begin to unleash musket fire into the ruins as even more figures appear.

 


The British break into the ruins & although taking casualties, one of the ranger units secured the chest & began to move away. It was about this time that we discoved that any unit who had taken casualties, began to see the fallen rise up & start attacking the living.

 

"Hold men while we spirit away the relic!" The units that were trying to hold the line began suffering some morale issues.

 


The French commander entered the ruins & was swarmed by zombies!
 


He wasn't able to hold & fell back, with most of his troops having discharged muskets.

 


With the removal of the relic from the battlefield, the British won the day! Although with the added zombies from the fallen, it was perhaps them that truly won.

Thanks for running the game Richard!
