New painted 2024 January

With my Man cave refurbish I had a few things to catch up painting after the holidays, all 3D prints from Russell and Twisted pinnacle, joys to paint and the detail is beyond my bad eyes and hands, but contrast paint and  waiting for the layer to dry makes it fun.

Doc Savage vs The Frankenstein Monster (Pulp Alley)

With my new man-cave its a lot easy to play games in, everything is easy accessible and set up. Pulp alley has always been a favorite of mine over the years, so I plan a series of games featuring some league and heroes I wanted to game with. I  treated my self to a hard back copy and the character card set from Sally 4th in the UK

I am a huge fan of the Doc Savage Pulp adventures in the leagues book is a printout of a league to use, so easy and I decided to  pit him again the Frankenstein monster again there is a sheet of the characters in the League book. So going down the game set up (lost keys Scenario) and laid out my game table.
The ruins of Castle Frankenstein with pit falls and perils to make it interesting, 4 plot points in crates and a major in the center of the table only accessed once you have a minor point. GW scenery and sorted solo cards and dice.

The Mad Victor Frankenstein has resurrected his monster and in the ruins of the castle seeks the components to enhance his creation, aided by Igor and the deadly Monster he scavenges the ruins, pit falls and creaking walls around, he sets about instructing his creation to destroy anyone who seeks to stop him in his search, with Igor on look out he clambers over the ruins. A distant sound of an Auto- gyro alerts him to invaders. 
Doc Savage the Man of Bronze is informed that Victor has escaped his jail cell, and deducts the mad man will hope to continue his devilish work. His  team of  Monk, long Tom, Ham and  Renny, race towards the ruins.



Doc and his crew
Victor the monster and Igor
The Monster prowls the ruins.
 He spots Ham and charges the poor fellow stands no chance against the un-dead creature he is  felled.
Victor finds a chest and opens it to reveal part of his quest.
Long tom spots Igor in the rafters and take careful aim and shots him down.
Monk stumbles and see'e Victor he charges but Victor dodges his blows.
An inhuman bust of speed and the Monster strikes toppling poor Monk in a swipe of deadly blows.
Doc finds a chest facing the ruins perils he makes for the center point hoping to stop Victor.
Victor is at the center and Renny who has also a plot point charges him Victor is merciless, and his pistol delivers a telling blow.
Doc appears and  grapples with Victor who is as slippery as they come, avoiding the bronze fists.
The monster  crashes through the ruin the body of Long tom in his grasp he drops the fallen man and grabs and grapples the man of Bronze
As the two giants fight Victor completes his quest along with the other items, he sneaks away.
A long struggle but the man of Bronze falls to the Mighty Monster, as he falls the ruins start to collapse the Monster  staggering away as Victor calls him to safety. as Victor and his creation look back the castle falls into the mountain is Doc Savage entombed his team destroyed ??, Victor triumphant  to do more evil????Stay tuned for the next installment..

Great fun game the  leagues were fun and it was not easy, the plot points and Solo cards made the game wonderful and even though Doc failed I enjoyed the whole thing. More to come I think!
