Well I was so inspired by the AARs of the Pup Alley games on the LAF and there forum I had to have a go I got the pdfs of the 2 first books and read and read and looked. so today o gave it aplay test using the Solo rules and ideas and some of my vast pulp/fantasy collection Dr Zytra ,Psycola, Roman 2 maya and 4 zombies
lords of light Wolff. Una Dr Thanos, fear fang the lion and a Badger, I slowly set up and made the plot points and perils (used Zorgals at perils. the scenario was Death trap so Wolff was in one corner surrounded by enemy nd his company rushed to his rescue
Dr Zytra and his cronies corned the hero
Alone he does not care as he trusts in his skills and honour
the compny rush to his aid making progress in the ruined city
basic board layout used the Mars attack simple simple and brilliant
A winged Maya dives and engeages the Hero
the Zombies shamble off to block the path of his rescurers (I forgot they only could walk?)
Pycola goes after them wanting to pick them off one by one
Una stalks the ruins careful of the Zorgals
Roman take a plot point after 2 attempts (I think i got it right)
Wolff doges the first Maya but another dives and they scuffle
the Hero batters the winged devil sending it to where it belong
Dr Thanos shoots down the advancing Zombies but one gets to claw and teeth range ( there tough as hell)
Ro-an eventualy gains the point
Psycola takes another point after a peril fight
DR Zytra take another easy his evil is abound
another falls in his clutches
Ro-man and psycola charge Wolff and all hell breaks loose
Dr Zytra takes out Fearfang in a single fight
Wolff smmahes Ro-man donw as he fends off Psycolas blows
Una fighting a zombie is jumped by Zytra she manages to dodge and parry the blows
Psycola and wolf battle it out blows and stikes are blocked and wounds ignored
At last Dr thanos destroys the lone zombie and seeks to aid Unas fight against Zytra
the mastermind is out numbered as Una destroys the zombie
the Badger ensures Ro-man will not rise again this day
Wolff and Psycola still battle on as the game ends, after a count up it was a Draw.
Thoughts:
Very impressed and was more than i expected form the game it plays fast and is easy to pick up the combat system, the cards well I need more practice , the plot points are great perhaps make my won rewards ? , the profile stats are great and thwe wounds and flow of the whole game is very enjoyable.
I did as i said use the solo play rules and they worked fine, me and alec will give this a go as i know we like fun and enjoyment and no book keeping. more will be played and shown I know. Great game and i recomend to anyone with a collection of miniatures they just want to game with it will work for anything i think, well done Dave and co, and all those AARS i also say go find them and look worth it
I picked up the rules a while back but haven't had a chance to give them try them out yet. I hadn't really considered using the solo rules but after reading this must give them a go!
ReplyDeleteNice report. Shall look forward to seeing how you and Alec get on with it when playing. Great miniatures and table as always buddy!
