Stargrave Campaign - the broken fence

-

In this mission I was playing against James's gang. In this mission we were trying to make contact with an Imperial Security Bureau who had information about the location of some rogue scientists unaccounted from the clone war. James's crew contained several members that had undergone significant chemical, genetic or cybernetic enhancements so he was interested in the same information or perhaps hoping to locate medical specialists that can support his crew.

The Empire would also be interested in these specialists. Weapons division will be able to find a use for them.

In this game I thought I would bulk everyone up to form a Schwerpunkt and then mass enough firepower to overwhelm part of the of the table while the Rodians acted as a distraction. 
The team advance through the building.
The Rodians start their distraction. I'm not sure whether this involves folk music or Improv at this point.
The next phase of the advance is going well.
Darth Vader has secured the first loot and Lord commander Sorin has made it to the central treasure. 3 of the 4 Ferrox are down. However the last one has gotten really angry and has just eaten Boba Fett. (critical hit).
Greedo is chaisng down James's hacker and has shot down one of James' crew. Go Greedo go!
My Gunner took some fire and when he recovered from being pinned down he fell back to the smoke cloud. We have managed to fail to shoot the Ferrox.
Disaster, Lord Vader is felled by a critical hit from the Ferrox. This causes him to drop the physical loot he was carrying. . Lord Commander Sorin managed to defeat James's drone.
Lord Commander Sorin and Triple Zero exit the central building. The Commando droid is locking down the Ferrox.
My Gunner has recovered from being stunned and has fallen back into the building to cover the retreat.
One of the Commando droids also got eaten and getting rid of this Ferrox is taking way too long. Dollar signs are now going off in James's eyes and it looks like he has come up Jackpot.
Triple Zero escapes with the loot. Sorin is wounded by fire from James team and his chances of getting a second loot counter are decaying like an unstable isotope. In an attempt to preserve his life, Sorin bails out of the mission.
The Gunner covers the retreat. James sends over a drone to make sure the newly arriving pirates will go in my direction.
A Bile Worm slithers towards the sounds of the fighting or more accurately the running and screaming.

So Triple Zero made it off the table which turned out to be money. Lord Commander Sorin and the gunner made it off as well. Everyone else needed to make survival rolls but they all made it out OK.

I got just enough experience to make both characters level 2. 

We didn't get any information on the location of the rogue scientists.

Stargrave 40k - "we just got our asses kicked man"

Alan and I went up to the Bring and Buy day at the Kapiti Club in Paraparaumu. We took our Stargrave game. In this case we had followed our leads to an abandoned factory. However when we got there we realised that the factory was far less abandoned than we had hoped. As we approached we could hear the sounds of chanting and the smell of old blood. It certainly didn't sound like Slaaneshi cultists. Here is an overview of the factory mounds of overgrown rubble and broken machinery. At locations around the factory were groups of red robed figures crouched over bits of equipment. They appeared to be trying to unlock the access to an underground silo. Here is the new Inquisition strike team. We have two new commandos and a doctor along with a former heretic that had been reprogrammed into an assault gladiator. The cultists if thats what they are react with the skill and precision normally reserved for military units. Inquisitor Rathbourne smote a cultist with a Grenade launcher with a b...

Kill Team - Genestealers above ground.

I got in against Ben and his Star Striders, The Genestealers had made a lair in some old ruins. The Starstrider crew needed to cross this dangerous area so they could recover a valuable relic. Here are the Genestealers lying in wait for any that enter their territory. I placed once stealer in the open because I knew I could Salk it into cover and threaten the mid board. The Star Strider's motion trackers started going off, but they could not lock down the locations of the Genestealers while they were hiding in the ruins. The Genestealers are scuttling forwards. The Genestealers have flanked around their short side and seized control of the objective point between the Star Striders and their relic One the other side the board the Star Striders are advancing. One of the armsmen got close enough to get an accurate fix on one of the genestealers. This enabled their ship to get the coordinates and a beam strike lanced down out of the heavens. However the lightning reflexes of the Genest...

7TV Vlads Army - the climax - Battle at the Church

 The Home Guard have raced back to their headquarters at the Church. (its the only place with a working phone). They have found the vicar and verger inside and have amassed a stock of supplies with which to make maguffins and other unique weapons of war. Just then a dark smokey cloud spreads over the graveyard and long dead hands start erupting from the ground. The Vampires have arrived, and this time they are led in person by Major Shreck. Can the Home Guard drive off the fiends of the night? Here is the church and its surrounding graveyard. (Seriously, who does that?) To the right is the church hall and at the bottom a couple of bomb-damaged houses. There is a war on. Here are the brave defenders taking their positions. The vicar briefly protested as his windows are broken to make firing ports. Alan won initiative for the first time in the campaign. Major Shrek raised the Iron Cross and the horde shambled forwards. Alan also got the effect that meant he could only move once per t...
