Rumble at Cobra-La
Our latest GIJoe pulp game took place in the hidden valley in the Himalayas that was the location of Cobra-La.
The table is snow covered rifts
With the mutagenic spore plants
The stalks must be destroyed to prevent their launch
The Joes need to destroy 3 of the towers within 8 turns
The have special charges to plant on the stalks to destroy them
Serpentor and Golobulos lead the Cobra-La forces
The Joe forces enter the table, a Snowcat and infantry forces
Snow Serpents are set up in firing positions
Shockwave advances with a Steel Brigade fire team
And take up defenses at the base of one of the stalks.
Flint’s team advances
Setting up firing positions
Targeting attempts and fire
Ice Wolf opens fire
A flanking Joe team close assaults a HISS tank
Destroying it with satchel charges as the pilot tried shooting them.
Snake Eyes and Frostbite set charges and are attacked by Golobulus
The Polar Bears attack
The HMG team pivots to attack
The Cobra-La Royal Guard assault Snowjob’s fire team
Lady Jaye’s team sets charges and attacks
The Polar Bear takes a direct hit from a HISS missile
The Ice Wolf flanks the Joe forces and sprays 20mm rounds into them
The HISS tank takes a hit from the Snowcat’s ski missile and is obliterated!
Golobulus kills Snake Eyes in a desperate melee
The Snowcat is blown up from the Ice Wolf
Lady Jaye’s team brings down one stalk, but Alpine gets pinned by its collapse
A slow demise in melee against the Royal Guard
Serpentor strafes the Joe fire team
Joe’s advance
Snow Serpents in action
Snow job is killed
Serpentor is brought down with massed fire
Golobulus finishes off the last chance the Joes had for victory!
More to come,
Doc
Brilliant report! love the stalks and all the Winter Joes and Foes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bud! It was a bad day for the Joes, but at least we got to see Serpentor get mowed down.
DeleteNoooo! A Pyrrhic victory for Cobra as they lost Serpentor himself, but the stalks remained to activate their awful plan.
ReplyDeleteI always found the "Cobra La" premise to be completely ridiculous. I like my Cobra to be kind of grungy: opportunist terrorists for profit operating within the realm of near-modern warfare. But this is pretty cool. I like the whole mission setup and the stunning array of winter characters used 😮👏
Thanks! Yeah, I think with the cartoon series they completely ran out of ideas and went full Agartha with the franchise.
DeleteSerpentor couldn't go out like that,
ReplyDeleteNnooooo la la la la!!!!
He died from Snap fire while trying to move away. He did have several good strafing rounds with the chariot before that though. Golobulos was the real beast on the table.
