Blast from the past

I managed to get in a third game for the year and infact we got two games last night so it went well.
Colin Jack had been asking last week if I had a set of Necromunda rules which he wanted for another period so we decided to get all out gangs out to remind us how the rules worked.

The first game we fought was a straight forward gang fight between my Delaque gang,

Colin Jack with his Eascher 'girlie' gang and Hugh Wilson with his Ratskin gang.

Hughes Ratskin gang under cover

The first fight saw me taking up postitions around the press plant to make maximum use of my firepower while the other two squabbled amongst themselves but surprise, surprise, they both headed for me to make best use of their hand weapons.  Fortunately the girls suffered a number of shooting casualties and bailed out of the fight leaving Hugh with his rats to face the music but realising charging across open ground into my crossfire he also bugged out giving victory to me.  Unfortunately for Colin his gangs leader and another ganger both died after the battle which should have left him at a serious disadvantage in the next game but it didn't turn out that way.

The next fight was a scavenge for loot, eleven pieces were scattered around the area which had to be found and brought safely off table.  Each piece was worth a certain amount of points but there could also be a chance that some could be booby traps, those would be three of the ones that I found, Doh!!

Rats out searching

Unfortunately for the Rats they wandered into my line of fire and with four of them down the rest failed their leadership test and bugged out taking their one piece of loot leaving the Delaque and Girls to shoot it out for the rest.  As usual my dice rolling let me down badly and with my leader down the rest left with nine points of loot but Colin had fifteen points of loot so ended up the winner.

Both games were great fun and we have decided to get the gangs out again and start a proper campaign with them.  When we first fought Necromunda many years ago we had 36 gangs in our campaign while the campaign Colin ran had about 16 gangs in it.  We both had newletters to keep everyone up to date on what was happening and also gave me a chance to distort the truth and generally slag everyone off which was great fun and even got us mentioned in White Dwarf a number of times and got us invited down to their studio.
