Contact Front play test

 

I ran the first scenario for the Legacy Series, rescue Doc.

Blue team

Jill and Mark (veterans) with a pick up truck. Jason and Doug(wrong name) (trained&leader) in a 5 ton. No crew served weapons. All armed with M4s, pistols body armor and NV. I forgot half way thru about it being night time. Starting on the board edge.

Red

2 Robbers (militia) armed with pistols. Start down the street from doc’s house.

4 Drunks (civilians) armed with 2 pistols, bats and knives. Start down the street behind doc’s house.

2 Thieves (militia) armed with shotgun and pistol. Start in doc’s house

 

All tokens numbered and blind draw.

T6

Blue Jill

              Get in truck

              Break contact

 







Die rolls at this point went way to crazy, 4 10s rolled, every shot hit. I replayed from the point the dice started to ruin the game.






    I felt suppression does nothing with the threshold at 5. Never got to 5. The nerve test strictly prevented ever getting to the threshold of 5. 

    Maybe these two should be combined into just nerve. Then nerve acts as a threshold for pinned.

    The civilians taking M4 fire should pin them. They were drunks, so drunk courage. The robbers militia took M4 fire and a KIA.

              Did we play suppression and nerve correctly?

    Pistols within 6 inches stopped by body armor should remove one action within an activation.

AdeptiCon 2027 dates


             I don't think I will go. Unless B&P/Port Royal, and Epic are different days. And I would have to fly.

The Great Sell Off 2026 part I

 

                    Since my father died, I am left to sell his collection. I know jack all about his collection, the value, or how to sell it. I don't know the market. Over the years he told me this and that. I did not pay close attention or memorize what he said. Now I sit here trying to sort it all out and get Mom the most out of it's sale.
                    In an effort to save my family from the circus the Great Sell Off. I don't want my kid or my wife to have to deal with the massive amount of soldiers I have. They know a few mates in passing. They don't know what anything is, it's value, or where to find buyers. I will be selling off everything I have never used, sat in a box since the NY days, and those treasures I snatched up, opened the box, and they remain in that same box.

            A whole bunch of poorly cast resin walls are gone. I got them in a large collect of terrain. They were horrible. I was never going to waste time fixing them. So they sat and then finally sold last November.
            Then no sales util this week. I sold off the Spanish pirate troops for 40. I sold off some of the Epic collection for 40. I paid 70 something for the pirates and 60 something for the epic. I have most of both left. SO free stuff.

            In keeping with the idea of tracking spending.

Bought

440 3D prints + 100 paint + 175 buildings + 60 Epic Forumware, 2 books printed, 75 Pirates at $890

Sold 40 Epic + 40 Pirates at $80
