Five Parsecs From Home – Mission 3

I should have been posting after action reports here instead of just on Facebook.

Anyways, I sent the crew on the following assignments:

  • Exploration: Mal Castle
  • Trade: Ban Rolo and Jake Banner
  • Training: Pepsiman
  • Find a Job: Nick O’Donnel and Harry Brisbane

Mal found nothing while exploring, though he did get some alone time.

Ban and Jake acquired an auto rifle, which was given to Harry.  They also received a quest rumor.

Pepsiman gained experience and raised his Combat Skill attribute.

Nick and Harry met up with the Vulture crew’s Patron, Bungo McJankeypants, who offered the following job:

Fight off a group of Abductor Raiders, who may have arrived ahead of a possible planetary invasion.

The crew were outnumbered 7-to6, but in the end the crew were victorious, but sustained casualties.

Pepsiman suffered a potential crippling injury, and will be in the ship’s sickbay for the next 4 campaign turns.

Mal suffered a serious injury, and will be in the ship’s sickbay for the next 2 campaign turns.

Nick suffered a minor injury, and will be in the ship’s sickbay for the next campaign turn.

The crew was well paid for the job, but found no loot in the area post battle.  They also gained another quest rumor.

Oh, and the planet is about to be invaded.  The crew is going to high tail it out of here in the next campaign turn.

Shallow Rabbit Hole

There’s just too many miniatures out there.  Period.

Though I did buy a few.  As I do.  But believe me when I say that after my first expansion choice, it took me a couple of days to decide to actually get others, and then decide which ones.

You can play with the core set as is, I just wanted a little variety.  Plus, painting miniatures is fun.

Marvel Burnout and Rebirth

I’ve played Marvel Champions maybe a half-dozen times, mostly with Spider-Man and Captain America.

I’ve played solo, and I have yet to play this with my gaming group.

I bought too many expansions which have yet to be played, so I stopped buying every expansion as it came out.  That was the completionist in me.

When this game came out, another Marvel game came out as well, one that I was interested in but didn’t want to get into, because miniatures were involved, which is bad for my completionist tendencies.

Imperial Assault

It’s been well over a year since I last played this game.  They’ve updated the mobile app from what I’ve seen.

Time to take another dive into this one.

Heck, I finally ordered Jabba’s Realm for it, just so I can play with that female Mandalorian in the expansion.

That would mean starting a new campaign, even though I’ve barely touched the original one.

Ah well.  I’ll figure it out.

Stand by.

Kill Team 2018

A couple of years ago Games Workshop released a Kill Team boxed set, based on the 7th edition of the Warhammer 40K rule set.

Shortly after that, they released the 8th edition of the Warhammer 40K rule set.

They followed that up with Shadow War Armageddon, another skirmish level game, and then re-released Necromunda, a skirmish game based on gang warfare in the 40K universe.

Today they released *drumroll* a new boxed edition of Kill Team!
