7TV - going where no game has gone before

-

 Alan and I played a game of 7TV on Saturday down at the club. We used the Pulp rules but used my new Star Trek miniatures. Alan took the Federation and I took the Klingons. We used the 7TV Pulp rules, which is appropriate for the show we were playing.

Once again the game came down to the last turn and the last rolls of the game. 

This is the table we created, this is one of my Cigar battlemats with my Gale Force 9 rocky terrain and some trees from my collection. The tower is a piece of Battle Kiwi terrain. As Spock said, "Its a franchise Jim but not as we know it".
Here are the Klingons.
Its the Federation sir, thousands of them. "good, more for us to kill"
The Federation run forwards. 
The Klingons shoot down a couple of away team members.
The Klingons advance. A cheap special effect knocks down one of the Klingons and a meteorite explodes and sets another Klingon on fire.
The Federation take control of the objectives, including Kirks little black book which holds the phone numbers to every space princess in the quadrant.
Star Fleet tightened up the regulations on fratenisation with hot sexy aliens after Kirk and Riker charmed their way across the galaxy.
The Klingons take a turn and then steal the scene and have another go. After all the disruptor file ends the Federation cast is axed and down to the stars and a couple of extras.
The Klingon VIP is hiding out in the corner guarded by one of the troopers
The Klingon Batleth champion charges forwards and tried to bearhug Sulu, who slips out of his grasp. He also used a special effect to capture Spock. The Klingon Femme Fatale moved up and shot down one of the ensigns while he was distracted by her smile. The Klingon commander blasted two federation away team members including ensign Janice whose loss demoralised everyone. When you lose your VIP you lose half your stock of Star points.
Captain Kirk, was enraged by the loss of his crew and attacked the Klingon agent. Her smile did not work on Kirk who subdued her.
The Kommanger Klang of the Klingon Empire looked around there were only a few federation rats nearby but they had collected almost all the cheese. 
He had read the script after all.
The final battle ended up with the Klingon commander grabbing an objective while the Batleth champion again failed to capture Sulu. The two remaining Klingon troopers needed to inflict a condition on Spock for a VP. However disruptors only inflict one condition - Death. So we needed to inflict two wounds on Spock to kill him. However Spock had a huge pool of defence dice and did not get wounded.

Then the doomsday device exploded and everyone beamed out. 

Alan then rolled maximum on the VPs for the maguffin and it was a crushing victory for the federation.

Curses Kirk, remember revenge is a dish best served cold and its very cold in space.

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.

Image
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...
