We were testing out our Companies for an upcoming campaign. Myself with my "Victoria's Palace" Company and MacSver with his Lord Curr Company. It was the "Catch a Pigeon" scenario from the main rulebook, except with a wayward automaton instead of a feathered messenger. the Pea Soup Fog rules (variable sight distance) were also in play.
 |
| Lord Curr and His Incorrigibles get ready for the search. |
 |
| The Guards lead the way up the road in chase of their prize. |
 |
| The autoaton wanders directly into the crasps of Lord Curr's Company. The walker moves up the road to threaten the whole table. |
 |
| "This way, Ma'am". Captain Paton leads the way round the mighty construct, hoping the trees and the fog will aid their way. |
 |
| The fog suddenly clears. "Begads, there they are!" |
 |
| At the other end of the road the bullets are about to fly as well. In the background though there can be seen an automaton nearly away. |
 |
| Captain Paton steps out from behind a tree, takes careful aim with his Arc Pistol and blows up the Walker before it can fire it's machine gun, much to MacSver's dismay! |
 |
| Revenge is swift, as next firing action Gunnery Sergeant Hamo Curren-Saul raises his Arc Rifle and kills the Mighty Empress Victoria. I am not amused! |
surely you mean Egads ;)
ReplyDeleteNever correct the Queen. She is always correct.

Wonderful stuff Sam, great photos of some lovely looking minis and it certainly sounds like it was a fun game. I thought just having the photos with descriptions underneath worked really well.
ReplyDeleteTHanks, Blaxk' . Good to know I've been wasting my time with full AARs all this time ;)
DeleteI know what you mean though, enough to give a nice, quick summary. Something to consider int he future when I'm pushed for time. I nearly always have pictures and it's always better to have a quick picture supported summary than nothing at all.
LOL :-) I actually find these days my batreps tend to take longer to write & construct then it did to play the game, so I'm always on the look-out for a different approach and might try your idea for a 10mm WW2 game I've got prepped for tomorrow's posting. Pictures are always better than just words :-)
DeleteI can empathise with that. We actually played the first HHNF mission of a linked series weeks ago and I've not managed to write it up in a proper manner yet. Definitely longer than the battle itself!
