Played my first proper game last night.
Welcome to the sleepy village of 'Cutbanks' where 008 Agent Craig Daniels is following a tip off is trailing a underworld facilitator rumoured to be doping horse's. Little did he know there was going to be a 'chance encounter' with underworld agent and his security staff in the sleepy village.

Chose to play a chance encounter to familiarise myself with the rules again. 3x3 board (well section of dininig room table). Deployment was rolled randomly with the Villainous side deploying in a 1x1 square in the centre and Craig Daniels 008 (Bond thanks for character stat drawn up by Doctor Warlock) deploying 4" onto the board.
008 Craig Daniels 80 Ratings
Guard Force 63 Ratings
9 Guards (all with pistols, 2 smgs and 1 commander)
Lost track of turns but here is a summary of the action.
Both sides advance some of the guards hearing the sound of car engine proceed to investigate.
008 first shot a guard between the eyes and then charged into melee against another but fluffed his to wound roll.
008 then got pinned down and then a big scrap ensued as more guards gradually arrived and tried to subdue him at one point it was 4 to 1 but 008 took them all out.
Unable to capture 008, the guard commander order the smg guards to fire into the melee between 008 and the last guard, though random allocation both hits ended up hitting 008 and then rolled double 6 to wound.
008 took out the last guard in a heroic surge, flung two knives at the smg guards but missed.
008 won initiative advances towards the remaining 3 guards and takes one out in melee. Is then sprayed with bullets by the last smg guard which miss! But then the guard commanders final shot with his pistol takes 008 down with 6 followed by a 6 to wound.
I really enjoyed and it has geared me up to play a few more games. Can't wait to get my United Radionics guys painted up.
Cinematic! :D
ReplyDeleteNice to see you finally play it, now I must watch James Bond movies again :D
once you get your head round the activations etc it flows quite quickly.
Delete"*Bond* took them all out"? I thought that 008's name was Daniels :-) ?
ReplyDeleteDon't know what you mean :P and edited lol
DeletePoor 008, bet he wished he was in the movies!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Activate 009!
DeleteHow many times has 007 been shot and appears to be dead? I reckon it's the same with 008. He just APPEARS to be dead. He will return!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Very True Bryan.
DeleteSounds like great fun was had, typically that 008 was killed always the way isn't it!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun. 7TV is quite fast I played on a 3x3 board but some people play on 2x2's
DeleteCracking Batrep mate. How about in the next game, 008 is not dead but being held by the Underworld Organisation and needs rescuing by a Secret Agency task force ;-)
DeleteIndeed need to get some Villainous stars/co stars ready.
DeleteCool stuff, sounds like a fun game.
ReplyDeleteIt was mate and a lot of fun.
DeleteThat was cool. I haven't tried this one yet. I love that banner pic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, I'm going to play a few more games with Stars on both sides and then once I've got a better grip on the rules I'll do an proper AAR.
DeleteNice one mate. Cracking read. seems quite well balanced game and as long as you have fun you're a winner. I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to the next aar.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it.
DeleteSounds like a case of one guard too many, good read.
ReplyDeleteCheers, I should of included a few more guards so the ratings where even. Down to the randomness of dice in the end.
Deletesounded almost like a movie trailer :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks.
DeleteGood to see you putting it all together so well. I didn't notice it before, but love that Jaguar on the banner. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean was having a play with the camera the other day and fancied a change.
DeleteThat's some nice looking terrain you've got. I really do like this stuff. Your new header is killer btw.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne alot of it just cheap and functional terrain's not my forte.
DeleteSounds like a blast, looking forward to getting my zombietv up and running over the summer!
ReplyDeleteWas a lot of fun the next game will go quicker. Look forward to seeing your 7ombietv exploits :D
DeleteShouldn't Bond have some commandos as back up? Or more likely a leggy girl? It looks fantastic, but I'm staying strong and sticking to my EotD project. It's nice to see some of the old citadel card buildings again.
ReplyDeleteNot at the beginning of film :P
DeleteLike I said early not my stong point and cheap and cheerful.
Good looking board Simon, and it seems to have been a good game!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, it was interesting to see how a strong solo character fairs against a larger group
DeleteNice little set-up Simon, poor 008!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray indeed he will be back!
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteGreat report there Simon and I am glad that you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGreat look this game , really nice !
ReplyDeleteCheers
Lol yeah it was learning the rules so I don't try and take many pics or notes as its distracts from learning the rules. I lost track in the end because there was a massive melee that went on for a fair few turns.
