Rogue Stars 'arry the Ogron vs The Daleks

This is our first Rogue Stars game.  

It is a “clone” of the comparison game run earlier.










I'Zulu: “We are short Daleked for this mission, so I have allocated J'Off as your tech.”
Z'Lim looks the new recruit up and down slowly. “Welcome ensign J'Off, you were bottled (hatched)-”  Y-e-st-er-daaay.” I'Zulu was impressed by the amount of information an experienced Dalek could convey simply by the slight movement of the eyestalk.

Here are our Dalek scout section, I've left the Flying Lead stats for comparison.

Mission Roster security away team Flying Lead total 392

Squad Theme: I originally went for Cyborg, but Star Cops may in this case fit the bill, as it allows for intelligence hardware.
Complication table, easy for Daleks, 17 the rookie.

Complication table, Precursor Artefact fits the bill for Ogrons.

The plot relates quite well to mission 10 Hacking Mission. The terrain could be 7 dense terrain or 11 irradiated wasteland. As Ogrons seem happy to live cheek by eyestalk with Daleks in their irradiated environs I've gone with the first.

Playing our First Game! So setup etc. was easy although I expanded it our to 36”.

I took the Daleks again and I had a plan. Honest, I did! I was going to “bird dog” J'Off down the left, spotting and shooting as best speed while the other 2 developed overlapping lines of fire.

Tony got the initiative. Funny how these little chaps soon develop character! Cpt Ron could be depended on to fail one roll, 'arry managed critical successes with depressing regularity.

So Tony came on strong down the centre and 'arry soon gained the objective and a critical success on his second whack was deemed to have opened the panel and another critical on the tech roll (!) gets the chip out and away he goes-.

I had managed to get Z'Lim into a decent position for a shot at Cpt Ron. Missed, ah but I've a chit to reroll! Missed. One pirate gets into a good position and laid down suppressive fire, even getting a pin! That allowed another to sneak around and shoot him in the back. Distracted and pinned, the pirate charged Z'Lim and bashed him flat then pummeled until the lights went out.

My morale failed, of course.

That was that-. We made mistakes, biggest was forgetting morale check when Z'Lim died. If I'd have tried to get the initiative might have made a difference, but there always seemed something else to try for.
