Commonwealth has been invaded by aliens. Commonwealth Marines rush to rescue a 'Government Agency' team caught in an ambush. The game is straight up 'Contracting Trouble' using Prawns as alien insurgents and Marines from the AA book.
Inspired by a dodgy movie (Battle: Los Angeles) I thought I'd play Contracting Trouble with alien invaders in rubble 'city'. The Commonwealth City of Morpeth has been bombed to bits, Spooks to rescue, on with the game...
Two 'spooks' out 'data gathering' get caught in an ambush
Alien invaders rush in like flies to honey
A Marine section is scrambled to rescue the Spooks
Aliens await
Charlie team, Contact right, Plasma team
Contact KO'd
Delta Team, contact, plasma gunner
Dead!
Delta sprints to secure a hotspot
Sqd leader bounds toward Spooks
Alien mob rushes Charlie team
Charlie coolly guns down aliens
Aliens leaders scramble to respond to the human initiatives
Charlie team hoses the Aliens, killing them all
Charlie bounds forward to the Spooks
Aliens Plasma team rushed forward to counter
A small hoard of Aliens appear near Delta team
Delta falls back into cover and lays down effective and accurate fire into the aliens
Charlie dispatches the Plasma team
Scores so far, Humans lots:Aliens nil
Charlie falls back under cover of Delta and Sqd leader
Its not looking good for the Aliens
But wait! more aliens appear, they aim at Charlie
But charlie team beat the interrupt and evade, falling back to the escape line
Delta finish off stragglers and falls back too
Game over Man! The Marines rescue the Spooks (who of course, never existed in the first place...)
A fast and furious game, the insurgents never won an interrupt. The Marines were a big squad, all that fire power with no effective interrupts was the rapid end of the aliens.
On a side bar, its probably two years or more since these Marines have seen combat, while I do like fielding new figs its fun to pull old figs out and roll some dice every now and then.
