RS Dirka Dirka Shirkas get the wrong target and gets spanked.

Civilians!

Planning the last game, my first jotting ended up with a civilian force of just over 100 points.

I shied away and added stuff.

But this time I went  all the way and here are 2 rather different civilian forces.



The other follow-on game although played just after and being roughly the same time, I'm doing as a separate post.  Please view them as such.  The events of last game has seen much uproar amongst the Dirka Dirka Shirkas who are out for revenge and set on rescuing their woman from the infidel.

Ptaclusp Associates, Necropolitan Builders to the Dynasties.* Foreman & 5 workers. 198.

They are armed with picks & shovels @ -1 for improvised. Being civilians Action 12, Reaction  & Morale 14  Brawlers.

Foreman Leadership, Civilian, Steadfast3, Tough3, Weaponmaster3 Total 38

You can expect to see more of these as a party may be in the employ of various factions.  
Have shovel, will dig.

That makes 11!  Shock, horror!

The Game. Ambush.  I gave Tony the diggers.  We soon came to the conclusion that these are, in fact, the Australians that all films &TV series cannot do without.   I diced for mine, using D20 method for ease.

 There were lots of reactions, but Tony held off until this intrepid chap came rushing in, sword swinging high.

The boss goes to '"ave a word".

Blue lends support and there's a shovel to the turban.

The group are beginning to get surrounded. Yes you get a lot of them.  You give away a lot of reactions and just about everyone fails morale-.  Tony's diggers need to make a break for it, and decide to push ahead.

Coming in clumps, Tony uses reactions to gain support.

Wallop!  Another one down.

The Dirka Shirkas gather to strategically block their rear passage.

Lots of swinging, no hitting.

At last, another one-.

And another.  Now so far I haven't even magaged to give the diggers a pin!

But gang is spread out-.

The last one rushes on, spear set at a determined angle---

I try and get my rear guard moving.

And there's these 2, determined to head them off at the pass!

A knife flashes out and - the foreman is dead! Hah hah thought I, that'll give HIM some pins for a change.  But oh no, not a one!

Revenge comes on a shovel, served hot.

Got him down, a pin!

One down-

Then the other.

Carnage!

White, who's done nothing, gets stuck in.

That leave the way out free.  Worked out ok - I consistently rolled low, so it could have gone either way.  I'd suggest you try this.  A normal team getting swamped.

Tony's sheet at the end.

Mine.  I just couldn't get the actions to get rid of  the (yellow) pins!
