Kind of looks like the first, Contractors plus VIP stuck in top LHS corner need to get to bottom RHS corner in 6 turns. Also, there are less contractors as you get only survivors from mission one and ammo is running low. Mmmm, remind me why I bought this...
Stuck in the top LHS corner, need to leg it for the building on the bottom RHS. Sure, been there, Done that
Remains of the roughie-toughie contractors plus VIP
6 turns to get here. Is it possible?
Lots of Insurgents in the way
And they are off, a quick run down the middle of the board
Bur hold on, I spy baddies
Not for long, my son
Contractors spill out into the streets, are they '
Street Fighting Men'
Crusties rush in reinforcements
Oops, more reinforcements coming
Out of ammo and Pinned, Not.Good.
Not looking so dynamic for the Contractors.
Kablewie! casualties and Pinned
A reminder, 6 turns to get there, Mmm, perhaps this one is less of a push over
Crusties manage to surround the Contractors
More Pinned, Morale is not holding for the contractors
If they had Bayonets they would have fixed them
That's the way, hard to miss at point blank
More reinforcements line up
And, of course, they would appear on this board edge
The holdouts at the rear keep up harassing fire
Crustie fighters flood round the objective building. Three turns to go. Tick, tick, tick...
Out of ammo, out of options, time to kick bums and take names.
More Crusties pour into the area
The Contractors DO still have a chance, but its a slim one
Yup this chance has been on the Space Pies!
Perhaps not, this chance is back to being Super Model thin
Please Sir, can I have some more...
Time for some desperate action
Rats! Pinned at this stage, worse there are casualties, and that's the group with the VIP
We know where this is going, right?
VIP is OK, Contractors blow the dice roll
KA BLAMMO! VIP down. Pinned. Last Turn. Should I keep going?
Another unit assaults
They trade casualties
OK, they mow down Crusties
Noooooooo! More reinforcements
And, we are out of Time. End of Turn 6. Crusties firmly in command of the objective building, Contractors shot to bits. A Med check on the VIP reveals he's alive, but wounded
Could they still push? Sure, but they have still lost the game, and with the wounded VIP, the campaign.
Wounded VIP and remains of the Contractors. The Victory conditions state the VIP has to be intact, wounded or dead is a win forth Crusties. If he had been unwounded then this lot would have had to hold out against an endless horde with reduced ammo, at night. They would have had no chance.
Phew, looked the same as the last one, played totally differently. This time I really tried to commit with the Crusties, they had nothing to lose as every time I lost 5 they regenerated as a unit. So, perhaps this was the role of this scenario, to open up the Insurgent players and whittle down the Contractors. Either way it worked.
Losing by having the VIP wounded felt a bit like a cheap win for the Crusties, but after reading Scenario 3 this few Contractors had no chance. So perhaps not such a bad win after all.
Now I know why I bought it =8-)
Excellent AAR.
