Pulp Alley 1st game

 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

Captain Flashheart messing about on the River

 Well today we used the  paddle steamer and wanted to give it a go in our IHMN Alec brought his brits lead by the  honourable Capitan Flashheart and the Serpent pirate queen was again his  foe she was on the tigress and he was on the armed gunboat HMS Victoria 

 The Qeen of the serpents with a large number of her pirate crew captain and sorcerer  make to do battle with the British

 Captain flashheart  his  company and the ships Crew with captian Eddie H on the wheel armed to the teeth seeking revenge for last times carbuncle "All right men, let's do-oo-oo it"

 Able seam men man the guns  as the company make ready for action on the water

 did not have a suitable cloth as we played on a 6 x 4 so it was muddy river time

complications we had crocs and some surprises later on planned

 the Queens ship arrives with her sea serpent pet 

 a gun blast the first shot slays captain Chin

 gunfire from the  steamer rakes the  tigress slaying more

 the 2 vessles try to out manover each other

 the sorceroe falls to a gun shot dead as a door nail

 now the complications arrive dreaded shark men infested waters woken by the gun fore rise to the surface to attack anyone and anything

 a shark man attacks the Victoria intent on a meal

 he rises and climbs on board  attacking the fron gun crew as solders rush to fight it off

 a seaman is shoved over board as he dives out the way of the sharkman the crocs wake up!

 a huge second sharkman attacks the tigress  musket fire having no effect at all

 teeth and bayonet  scuffle on the deck

 the pitates face the huge monster who sweeps the   lot of them back in his wake

 2 pirates are slaughtered  in econds by the hulking monster 

 Capitan Flashheart  attacks with his sable and slays the beast " Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Now I may be packing the kind of tackle that you'd normally expect to find swinging about between the hindlegs of a Grand National winner, but I'm not totally stupid. I've got the kind of feeling you'd rather we hadn't come."

 the Victoria trys to get closer to the tigress seeing the battle on the deck they let the shark take care of the pirates for now

 a croc awaits any scraps left if possible

 the last musket man manages to kill the monster after 3 of his conpainons are killed

 the crew of the tigress hide in cover and draw closer to the Victoria seeking the advantage of numbers

 they dash up from the decks below to  charge and board the British ship

 the tigress slams inot the gunboat and they jump

 a pirate is the first now it will come to steel

 the gun boat draws away but  3 make it on board "repel boarders" Eddie shouts

 the other pirates get ready when close

 Flashheart takes them on face to face, pistol and sabre in hand "Enter the man who has no underwear. Ask me why. ? Because the pants haven't been built yet that'll take the job on! "

 her crew now on the gunboat the Queen seeks to  follow 

 bloody hand to hand fighting now  begins  swords and bayonets and pistols all clashing

 the Crocs lide off away  no takeaways today  for them

 the action now  stale mates and the combatants try to out man the other 

 a stray shot fells the Queen still on the Tigress 

 RSM Boradge  bayonets his way past the pirates 

 numbers of boarders start to fall and British take the upper hand

 Flashheart slays the last pirate with his sablre and victory is his

 he boards the tigress to capture the Queen of the Serpents " Right! Let's dig out your best booze and talk about me till the cows come home"! 

Victory " I like it firm and fruity. Am I pleased to see you or did I just put a canoe in my pocket? Down, boy, down."

Great game took some getting used to the ship movement but  as always IHMN is great , really enjoyed, (I hope the quotes did not offend anyone)
