RS Ending where it all began- for now--.

Here we are back where it all started. The ancient site of Wadi El Appen has been achelogisisised and the hidden depths have revealed an ancient structure of unknown portent.*

The remaining British we aren't Torchwood-honest team are desperate to find out what happened to their missing collegues. So they have tracked the Werewolves spoor (Bad Wolf!) and are determined to capture one and interrogate it. 

 To this end they have enlisted the aid of the local Nuff Sayyed by appealing to their civic pride via a bag of clinking persuasion passed from one pocket to another.

This was the most least-planned of my mini campaigns so far.  It was inspired by the need to get some of Splintered Light's excellent kick-starter out there and being used.  I had intended to buy more desert town and village style houses, but this didn't happen. So no car chases and fights in the market. I did buy more from:

Crom's Anvil, both excellent figures (5) and scenery (2) featured below.

The Game.  Tony took the intrepid types.  My troops were deployed in position with "guard" orders.  This becomes important later.

Tony starts with Ms Sinn sneakin in.

And a guard near the water hole.*

The guard is spotted by the ever-vigilant Adolf who shoots going bang!  misses and a tent goes woof!

The ladies move up using the burning tent as cover.  I say, is that cricket?

Taking a risk, the hero in his idiom braves the guard and gets headshot for his drastic demise!

Give him a kick, just to make sure-.

Ahah!  Stalk and pounce!

Initial attack is thwarted by her  nice mail shirt (posing as kevlar) and the attack stalls.  She manages to get her pistol up and blow Donner's brains out and up.

The Sergeant moves in and pointer is slain over the body of the dead hero.  This is too much for Grey (who rolled a 1) who bugs out.  There is no leader.  All have "guard" orders effectively pinning them to their posts.

A guard is shot at, and dives for cover.

Stalemate - you can see Grey legging it off-table.

While all this is going on, the ladies advance and the first guard cops another grenade, knocking him out.

Guard recovers, goes for cover and support, heading for the nearest silk covered bum away from the shooting is always a sensible move.

The sergeant makes a dash in hopes of beating the gun.  The offer guard gets up as a distraction.

It worked, but the guard by the big metal thing shoots him-.

Sneaking-

Close, so close-.

Shooting over the Minnie Bannister.

One down, but not out.

Adolf, bereft of grenades comes in swinging his launcher like a big clumsy club.

Miss G is pummelled and falls to her death.  H&S Executive have been informed as to lack of safety rail.

The last surviving member of the original group is able to clear up, but for both sides, all is lost.

So it ends.  Hope you enjoyed this series and take inspiration to do something.  If you enjoy watching - whatever, why not try doing it your way rather than buy an expensive commercial product?

Thank you for the positive encouragement and feedback.  It is very much appreciated.

Today we are mostly eating mini gingerbread men.  Which is nice.
