RS Seasonal. Snowmen vs Tree Rustlers


First of our very mini Seasonal Sensation Series.  I have to be tidy.  That hurts.  So this was made from the bits I could find.  Despite
that 2 good, fun games.

I thought I'd adapt scenario 4  Smuggling.  The artificial xmass trees are dragging real ones off to the lab for the unspeakable.

You had to have been there, man-.

I hadn't taken into account how good electrokinesis is  against cyborgs.  And how same could not shoot the inside of a barn with an automatic weapon on full auto.


I'm trying to get that nice Gavin chap to do these for next year.  Automatic weapons?













We even went seasonal on the dice.

The Game.  Simple, small table.  I get the trees and Tony sets up on the long edges.  Look how tidy everything is!  I cannot find anything!





The scenario has the defenders on table, so the attackers have the initiative.  Lonesome runs interference and gets intercepted by Jack frost.


In comes the brute, but Jake telekeneticaly trip him.  Hegets up, a 1!  It's icy all around and he slips.


The pine gets pummelled before Rudolf can get there.


Hatchet moves up, targets the pine with a mindbolt.


Rudolf to the rescue!  Jack Frost is dismissed.


Lonesome is up and resumes duty, but that puts him in range of Hatchet.


He's down, wounded and pummelled with pins by Hatchet's mindbolt, who really does a job on him.


The shrubby surges forward!


The big feller is up, now the other snowmen race to head me off at the pass!



Electrokinesis lashes out, first one down.




Rudolf comes rushing in for no.2, ripping Hatchet apart with his antlers.



A tree lets loose with his needler on full auto and completely misses at close range-.  Needles everywhere!


Rudolf gets got by a trees flailing branches.


Electrokinesis lashes the trees, throwing them down, wounding and pinning them.



Lonesome pine succumbs to his wounds as the first of the trees goes down.




The trees have failed!  Another go-.

Game 2


Hatchet organises his troops.


Meanstwhile on the other flank-.


On reaction Hatchet runs forward, but Rudolf runsforward, leaps from the high ground and plunges his all electric antlers though his head making the body explode in a flurry of white.



Encouraged, the trees shake their cyborg roots into overdrive.  9 actions in a roll.  I'll just twiddle me thumbs then-.


One cheeky sod even takes the scenic route.


Can Lonesome get to grips?  Knife has panicked and done a runner.


Nearly, then the Electrokinesis sleets.



Nearly there!


Mr Big is zapped and down, once again an easy target.


At last, Saucepan is in range!


Jack frost gets off social media and heads to block!



Too late!  One's made it!



Telekinetic push and trip hampers them.  They retaliate with needler rifle fire.


Rudolf realises there's still work to do and sleighs one, trounces another.



Jack Frost stands firm and alone.


As seen in all good westerns.


Rudolf dashes, but the lightning brings him down.


Spinning like a top, a tree flails Saucepan into mush!


Two trees faces off Jack Frost.


Trip and push, but that's not fatal-.


A tree dashes in where others fear to tread.


And gets shoved something rotten.  Jack levitates.


They are both down, but Jack has nothing to finish them off with!



The last stand of Jack.  Hegets one down, but it gets up and tears him apart!  So close!
