RS PAU outpost raided by Crusty bounty hunters

Having a background helps.  You can slot in raiders, mercenaries or any other type without too much trouble.

When Tony said it was time to get the Crustys out this was a no-brainer.

Lettuce set the scene.  an understrength garrison at a checkpoint becomes the target for a Crusty snatch squad who are after Trooper

The game.  Tony took the attackers and I diced for position: 3 in the building. Penda, Sgt Gana and Tech Nwa.  Outside driver Okal and the target Faraji.  Leaving Chata on the roof.

Prawns move in where humans would fear to tread.

Carefully building up.

 Stealthily moving along the treeline.

Driver heads for the APC.

Spotting fails.

Time to move up.

Sergeant Gana checks the watch.  Prawn trooper manages sitting duck, but moves.  He's been spotted and the Sergeant takes a shot.  Bang.  Dead.  The officer and prawn duck into cover.

Spooked, the driver moves the APC to get the machine gun into play.

Chaka - I think I heard something-.

 

But its Faraji who gets jumped and killed.  He was the target,  Oops.

Half my firepower gone, the officermakes a run for the APC and gets the door (tech roll) open.  The driver gets off a shot on reaction.  He's down & staggered.

The prawn tasked to tracking the vehicle leaps through the open door and takes down the driver as seen in all the best movies.

Chaka gets jumped.  It's a bit vicious out there.

The handler moves up and stabs Chaka in the chest.

The handler hugs the wall.

Lean over-

A prawn is hit, but recovers.

Hello boys.

No.3 attacks but is shot down.

No 1 leaps in, these kiddo's move fast-.

So far, so good-.  I have a prawn, the handler and the injured officer.  2 troopers and the driver one.

Nwa joins the party.

The last prawn-.  Is shot by Nwa and falls badly down the stairs.

The handler takes advantage of the distraction, grabs the officer and goes.

It's up and mad-.

It swats Nwa's pistol away with the tail as it passes.

On to the Sergeant, putting him down in one ferocious blow!

But that gives Pendatime to respond and tame it out as it attacks!  So close!

 Different!  Excellent game easy to play.
