Title: Dec 16 game at C&J, Newark, CA
Post by: Pryderi_7 on 18 December 2011, 21:53:37
One of my regulars and myself played a 6500 BV game on Dec 16.
I brought the following:              He brought in the following, using the following proxies:
Night Wolf                                      Hercules (MWDA Eisenfaust)
Prefect                                           Anvil (MWDA WArhammer)
Blitzkreig                                       Perseus Prime (MWDA Battlemaster)
Cavalier Battle Armor                  Hermes II (MWDA Cadaver)
                                                       Achileus Battle Armor x 2 (MWDA Achileus BA and MWDA Simian BA)

The fought in light snow and had to search for hidden files in a building, hence the battle armor.


The first 2 turns were manuevering to firing postion and Blitzkrieg hits Hermes II in center torso with AC 20 buts falls from return fire.

Did they have a first name?  Because being cast as trooper number 4 is like painting a target on your head.  O0

Good write up.  Love the nightwolf.  Did he do alright?

The Nightwolf was great even after losing an arm.

All the BA except one ended up mauled and that BA lost only troop number 4.

is BA #4 the new red-shirt ensign?

It also helps if trooper #4 avoids talking about what he's going to do after the war, or that he's got a wife and kids, or if he won a car back home or the like.
