Stargrave Saturday

 Wifey and I gave Stargrave a whirl on Saturday evening. We played the "Broken Fence" scenario. It doesn't have layout requirement my scenery collection can't easily handle. I played with my recently collected crew and I put together a crew for my wife using models from my Dystopian Legions VSF collection. 

The 4 X 4 arena of the day.

Captain Bruce Dickinson and the Oddfellows 151 move out.

Opposite them, Konstantin and his crew proceed with caution.

First mate Roy Christmas was the beneficiary of Bruce's Transport special power and got a boost towards the loot objective in the center. It helped that the monsters in the center of the table all wandered off in the same direction! Of course Katie Kaboom (pink) and X Æ A-12 (gold robot) we left as stragglers and couldn't move with ol' Roy.

Meanwhile on the other side of the compound, a severely injured Ferrox laced into Captain Bruce Dickinson while his crew looked on. Two terrible rounds of fighting later, Brucie was severely mauled and Loc' Nar, the tall blue alien had to put down the monster.

Another Ferrox gets its act together and pounces on Hacking Unit III. Hacking Unit III powers down as the monster howls with delight!

The groups come to blows when Chauffer lets loose a gout of flame at crewman Jesus who was brawling with another Ferrox. The Ferrox perished and Jesus was physically unharmed, though the mental scars would run deep.

Bruce uses his Transport power once again to move Scoop, a Runner atop a nearby building to slow down Constantin. Assisstant Bedford desperately tried to intervene.

The Ferrox's last meal of robot wasn't very satisfying and it sets upon the Space French sniper. Turns out the sniper is a hell of a fighter and runs the beast through with a well-placed bayonet thrust.

Katie Kaboom  was pursuing Hacking Unit II which was absconding with a Data Loot item. Konstantin's first mate, Raul projects a holographic wall to mask Hacking Unit II's location, denying Katie of her quarry!

Chauffer does it again. Loc'Nar and Sweet Mama Stringbean were fortunate to keep the damage to a minimum.

Brave Raul levels his pistol at Katie's back and takes her out. Real classy.

Loc'Nar takes out a monkey-beast with a mighty swing of his rifle.

X Æ A-12 detects a couple of contacts on his contact detection sensor.

The well-programmed combat unit levels its blaster at a threatening contact and takes it out in one perfectly aimed shot.

Chauffeur is taken down in the crossfire of Roy and Jesus. I'm not going to lie, that felt good.

The encounter ended shortly afterwards. My wife's crew had made it out with three data loot and me with two. Yes, all the loot we placed was of the data variety. I had one casualty and the VSF gang took two. We each had three monster kills. Overall, it was a very enjoyable game. Ready for the next!
