15mm Wargaming for Fun and Sanity: RS Grandma Wendy gets gobbled

Grandma Wendy & the Llhurg Uuti Clan headed off at the pass.

How have the mighty fallen! Bereft of followers, Grandma hires the Uuti clan for protection. Now she's been hunted by a certain Japanese corporation's security team who want to negotiate with extreme predudice.

I can see the Clan Chief laying down the law – he's the leader and she's not playing with that cannon. The scenario fits this perfectly.

Mission 3 Bodyguard work. Location Insectoid hive, complication Rookie.

As per scenario we placed the nasties. Each side represented by dice roll, 1-5, 6-10, 11-15,16-20. With the relative position given by actual number. As per scenario, a new bug appears on each player death. We diced for reaction/spotting with nearby movement or gunfire.

These guys are under-equipped and underskilled. You'd expect them to have a knife, pisrol and at least one grenade each. This seems the type of character a lot of people seem to field. Do they ignore the points limits? GZG Japanese. I think the scout is from Rebel. Had it years, never used, needs more paint.

The Game. Tony took the Llhurgs. I won the initiative. Setting up fields of fire my officer gets jumped by a nasty, gets a couple of pins.

Help arrives- but all that makes noise.

Medic!

Scout drags him back to cover. So much for stealth.

The young 'un gets jumped. These are so old the base is sand/pva/paint rather than no-more-nails.

This one is a hard bastard and will not go down.

One foot forward, then back, then forward again.

The mutant was supposed to guard Grandma Wendy-.

Scout scouts. They're close, very close.

That cut-.

Sore, the officer makes a more cautious advance.

Finally stomped, everyone comes for a look.

Crap-.

Deep breaths. This is were you need grenades.

A long shot puts the young 'un down, but not out. Mine gains the cut.

He's up and they're moving forward.

All that commotion gains the attention of another nasty.

Sneaking.

Ruuty tries for the cut. Never have so many shots and slashes missed at such close range. A desperate struggle. Mutant prepares to lay down covering fire.

Nasty, smelling blood, attacks young 'un. He's getting used to it. Leader rushes in and sticks it.
Grandma Wendy all safe and alone at the back.

The fight on the cut goes on, mutant lays down stream of fire. Ruuti chases scout with a hail of crap shooting.

Ruuti goes Rambo. Trooper C suffers a gun malfunction and makes a tactical retreat.

Unable to shoot, the mutant moves.

And gets got.

Trooper C gets his gun fixed by A.

Oh no! A 1 is rolled, at that was behind- run, leap, head, dead! That means another roll. another 1! Feeding frenzy begins.

My leader shoots the chief. But it's all over- with no patron there's no point going on against a strong enemy. I didn't lose anyone! Good game. Bugs provided the danger/nuisance element.

Tony's sheet. Yellow pins, red pins.

Mine.

This is a really, really old bit of scenery. The base is resin from- somewhere, the vehicle is a plastic cake decoration from way back when. Nearly an antique.
