Wild One Part 2

The boys are back in town

Lhin Tizzy informs Mondatta that his associate is safe but he cannot return immediately because one of his crew (Leebar) needs urgent medical attention (see previous game). Mondatta is not pleased but Lhin insists.

A nearby village has a Bacta tank available for Leebar. The villagers are willing to help in exchange for the crew's help. They suffer from scum and villains raiding their village and need a few tough guys to help their sheriff fight them.

Sheriff Mitchum

Lhin is reluctant to get involved but is persuaded to help the villagers by a former crew member, now working for the Rebellion, who happens to be in town.

Meri Goar

Lhin Tizzy & crew together with the Sheriff are waiting for the bandits to arrive.

The bandits

The bandits have surrounded the village and are moving in.

Trupan the Weeqay fires at Meri and Z while Nug the Gammorean moves in for a close assault. Leaders on both sides have a difficult time. Skaag the bandit leader goes down with 2 wounds when targeted by Blayne's heavy blaster. Lhin takes a shotgun blast from Burk the Trandoshan. Fortunately he has the 9-lives trait and is only wounded.

The Weequay takes out Meri, prompting the Gammorean to charge Z. But Z stands his ground and defeats the Gammorean in close combat.

Blayne sees the massive hulk of the bandit leader move behind the crops and blasts him again, taking him out.

Burk manages to inflict a second wound on Lhin with his shotgun blaster. Sheriff Mitchum is moving to assist Lhin.

The bandits are pushing forward. Trupan has dropped Z and Wowash the Arconian has set fire to one building and is moving the next. Some villagers have overcome their fear and are joining the fight with improvised weapons.

The Trandoshan proves to be a tough opponent. The sherrif is down, but Lhin is on his feet again, joined by Jadh.

Groups of villagers attack Trupan and Wowash. Trupan successfully defends himself, but Wowash dies at the hands of the villagers.

Blayne finally arrives to save Lhin and Jadh who are both seriously wounded. He shreds the Trandoshan.

Being the only one left, Trupan decides to call it a day. Taking one of the villagers' cattle with him he makes his escape.

Grateful for saving their village, Lhin, Meri and Jadh are patched up by the villagers. Z is buried near the village. 

Suspicious of doctor Spitzenfinger and Mondatta's eagerness to get hold of him, Meri contacts Rebellion intelligence and learns that doctor Spitzenfinger has supposedly been working on a doomsday weapon. Disgruntled because the Empire has diverted resources to another ginormous project, Spitzenfinger has deserted and sought help from Mondatta to build his doomsday weapon. Rebel command urges Meri to capture Spitzenfinger and deliver him to the Rebellion or kill him when capture is not possible.

Who will acquire the services of doctor Spitzenfinger and his doomsday weapon? What actions will Mondatta take to get Spitzenfinger?

More will be uncovered in Wild One Part 3!

Project Star Wars part 21: the Millennium Falcon

While browsing the internet for Star Wars stuff I came across The Ghost:

It looked big enough for 28mm games and the included figures are listed as 1 inch from head to toe.

The Ghost is however a bit pricey, but I found a ship from the same Micro Galaxy Squadron series which was cheaper from a reliable web store. The Millennium Falcon.

Now I already knew this Falcon would be smaller than it would be if it were actually in scale with 28mm miniatures. A bit smaller wouldn't be a problem since things are often scaled down for the tabletop (e.g. buildings). This Millennium Falcon is however pushing the envelope.

But from the gamer's bird's eye view it doesn't look that bad.

Inside it's a bit cramped though.

I think I'll keep the Millennium Falcon despite its diminutive size. As a terrain piece or for "get to the shuttle!" scenarios it will do.

I'll pass on the Ghost though.

Wild One Part 1

Wild One

My son and I started a new Fistful of Lead Star wars campaign. This campaign revolves around the adventures of scoundrel and smuggler Lhin Tizzy and his crew. 

The Heroes

Notorious crime lord Zenyatta Mondatta (see the escape from Aniron campaign) has helped Lhin out when his spaceship "Wild One" needed urgent repairs. Lhin is now indebted to Mondatta who "requests" him to pick up an associate on a remote planet.

Mondatta mentions that he may run into Black Sun cartel enforcers who also have taken an interest in this associate.

The Villains

My son chose to play Lhin Tizzy and his crew and carefully entered the abandoned settlement where Mondatta's associate was hiding. Buildings and terrain features had to be searched to find him.

My enforcers entered from the opposite side and started searching immediately.

Both sides moving forward with caution.

Leebar the Frozian was the first to find something: a venomous critter that bit him and injected a dose of poison!

The Black Sun enforcers moved forward quickly with one half of the crew, allowing the other half to do the searching.

Meanwhile the poison is draining the strenght from Leebar.

Blayne mows down Xox with his heavy blaster, while Lhin and Z (Zzz-orh-z-vvm) are dodging a hail of grenades from Kroz.

The poison and grenades are too much for Leebar. He's out of action.

Lhin and Jadh zero in on grenadier Kroz and drop him. Blayne blasts the Black Sun leader Borrit as he exits the building.

There's only one place left where the target can be hiding, and Black Sun is controlling it. Despite losing over half their crew, they have the associate!

But Z steps out of the hover truck and takes out one of the remaining Black Sun enforcers with his blaster rifle.

The last Black Sun enforcer tries to escape but is gunned down by Lhin.

The crew gathers around Mondatta's associate who introduces himself as senior imperial weapons scientist Spitzenfinger.

Who is this Spitzenfinger? What does Mondatta need him for? Will Leebar recover from his wounds?

Stay tuned for Wild One part 2!
