The Company Rules #7: Break Out

The Company Rules #7: Break Out

One trooper team must fight its way out to opposite board edge past three trooper teams.  One point gained for each trooper escaping, deduct one for losses.  So its three troopers off for the win!

This town been pretty well fought over.  One of the combatant teams is trying to escape, from left to right.  Meanwhile trooper teams appear at the other board edges

 I forget what these were called, old laserburn figs

 Earth Force troops flood in

 These are from Rebel Minis

 Three teams appear

 Time to run!

 Everyone advances

 Escaping troops spot Earth Force down the street

 but sprint by them in among the crates

 Wait a minuite, there's something ahead

 View from the other end, look out, its an ambush

 Blammo, Earth force gun down one of the runners

 But take some hits themselves

 The other teams rush to cover and support

 Earth force open up with all they have

 But don't do much. In the exchange an Earth Force trooper goes down

Runners boost armour and charge into melee

A rolling melee forms preventing the other Earth Forces engaging the runners

The board edge nears and the escaping troops make a break for it, leaving the Earth Forces flat footed

Heavily wounded, so close to the edge, perhaps they can make it

One Earth Force trooper can still range in

So its time for missiles out!

Two missiles make it through

Killing the straggler

Two troopers make it off

So near!  Two troopers for the draw.  One more inch of movement and three would have made it.

 

This was a toughie for the escapees, three on one is usually a win for the three.  Fighting to a draw  was a much closer game than a couple of the recent ones, much more fun to play.

Next game soon.
