7TV - Generic Archeologist and the Holy Grail

-

 Alan and I got in another game of 7TV on New Years Eve. I got to use some of my new Pulp models.

Here is my crew, I have an Intrepid Adventurer a Rugged Veteran supported by an Army unit, a VIP and a Comedy Mechanic.
Here is the table I created. This is some terrain I made a few years ago when we were playing Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago. 

In this episode, von Zoyten a Nazi occult scientist has stolen the Holy Grail from the US Government before it could be safely secured. Now he has raced into an ancient hidden deep in the Jungle. Superpowering the Grail would allow the creation of an army of immortal super soldiers. 

Idaho Smith and his stalwart band set off in pursuit. They raced through the jungle to ambush the Nazi's before they can complete their ritual.

Here is the Major and the soldiers. 

Here is Idaho, the veteran and the backup force of the VIP and the comic relief.
Alans gang of local freedom fighters and assorted villains.
Alan's team run forwards onto the central hill
The Heros take their "here comes the cavalry" free move
The army unit move forwards and adopt the strategy of "if in doubt grenade it out" The initial salvo kills off three extras.
Von Zoyten attacks and kills of one of the privates Singh.
The rest of Alan's crew kill off the rest of my army detachment apart from the commanding officer. That's 7 extra's killed off in one go.
More extras die and my veteran ends up in combat with Alan's squad leader. I put down a thick blanket of smoke to cover several of Alan's models so they could not shoot or move next time they are on screen. My officer shot down one of the rebels. 
Von Zoyten moves back and engages my veteran. He was about the only model Alan could move this turn because of my gadget.

My cigar smoking veteran finishes off one of Alan's henchmen, He has the ability to shrug off wounds and this kept him alive for several turns. The evil temptation of the Grail momentarily because too much and he becomes transfixed.
Idaho has flanked around the back of the building and has now shot down the villainous VIP and the Rugged veteran felled the henchmen. Von Zoyten has eliminated the army Captain. Idaho grabbed the veteran and he snapped out Grail greed.
Von Zoyten and Idaho square off in a whip vs sword fight.
The Comedic Sidekick and the VIP stand waiting for their cup of team. Private Singh arrives back on set with some tea.
A massive explosion knocks everyone down and people get wounded. The Rebel leader also joins in the fight.
The three stars continue the fight Idaho gets stabbed, but then Von Zoyten's crew get axed. (failed a bottle test) and the game is over. This last rolled changed the game result to a victory for Idaho and co. Even though we didn't get the grail.

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

-
Image
 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...
