RS Timewars 3 WotaloadaDaleks threesome plus other updates.

 Campaigns are good for stretching the mind-muscles.  Now we're all adults here, right.  So - I'd gone for me monthly game with Matt Hay and we end up having a threesome.  Yes I know what you're thinking, but he who dares wins.

Now, we have this campaign running, right.  Well, it's not working.  The top is too tight and everyone keeps going across rather than down.  The central delivery platform also is a no.  Despite having the initiative and random placing of defenders, the odds are that they are going to get cheesed.

So it came to pass that we are having a threesome.  The Skaro Daleks are invaded by the other 2 at the same time.  I ran the Skaro leaving Tony to run the other 2.  How versatile is that?

Having the experience with Matt, who has done this before-.

One of the attackers has the initiative.

Reactions and Turn-overs, both sides declared which figure and rolled, highest wins.  That figure or side that wins then rolls like normal.

First off, apologies.  Slight cock up in the camera dept. and we had to use my old one.


The Game.   Skaro Daleks set up.  I dice for random placement.  Imperials won the initiative.


Here comes the first one.  Skaro Black Top gets a reaction, moves forward and get shot-. Confidence is high.



And now an Ogron-.


Nee, nee, nee, nee!


A green imperial opens up, another Ogron goes down.



The first Rebel pops into the predicament.


He hits the green.


The Skaro Daleks concentrate their fire on the Imperial Black Top.


I try and get the Skaro's onto the flank, but they get picked off!  I put a yellow by the Ogron as an aid memoir that he's tucked in real tight-.


The Rebels gain initiative and starts shooting - another two comes through, but both gets deaded, one on the platform.  This is now blocked until the body is removed thus complying with the "Do not obstruct the Transmat Platform" instruction.  The Black Top gets some more.


Another Ogron moves forward - and gets clobbered.


Now I'm getting desperate, it's all or nothing-.


The Rebel takes out another Imperial.


The final (on board) Rebel goes down.


The Skaro Dalek goes in.  The Imperial Black top is a smoldering hulk.  He lays it on, then skips around the mass to hit an already damaged green, taking it out.



The Ogron hits the Imperial trying to clear the transmat.  But it's a final push and they succumb to the Imperials.


The Imperials - what a load of pins!


Rebels still had 2 off-table due to the transmat blockage.


That was very fiddly, but it worked.  Better with 3 of course, but you have to be open minded about these things.  I hadn't considered damage or interference with the machine.  I should have as it's in yer Dr Who. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7lB4_gEwSs

My astute readers - hello!  I've got a lot of MDF bits from Blotz and Warbases.  I've been busy making a mess rather than updating.  Here's a sneaky peak - more to come!


This is the landing tower for my Martian town.  As I want an ancient building rather than a modern one, I've adapted it & filled in the joins.
