1980s Pulp Gold Heist!
My friend Rob who I haven’t seen in a while wanted to get together for a game. I asked him what he wanted play and it was 80s Pulp, so I went to the terrain tubs and threw a game together.
Another buddy, RT-S4, had the idea of doing a Dirty 13 game, using only first wave Joes and equipment so I decided to run with it.
The scenario is the Joes are transferring a shipment of gold from Fort Knox at a secluded Joe airstrip in Kentucky to Benzheen for their orphans of war.
Cobra forces are there to seize the gold and begin the game taking the Joes by surprise in civilian vehicles backed by HISS tanks and a FANG.
An overall view of the table.
Cobra forces will enter from the south end of the runway except for the flanking HISS tanks.
Short Fuze deployed back by the Whirlwind.
Hawk with the MMS
Stalker and Flash as well as Grunt and Clutch in the VAMP.
Rock n Roll on the gantry.
The palettes of cash and gold
The attacking forces
SNAKEs loaded up with Scarface.
Scarlett and Snake Eyes by the APC. This is pre ninja Snake Eyes so no wolf or katana. YET 😊
Steeler by the fuel depot.
More footage of the VAMP.
Cobra forces enter the table and the VAMP swings into action unloading twin 50s into the one Cobra truck killing the contents of the cab and bringing it to a halt. Major Bludd and his kill team bail.
Steeler makes a run for the hangar.
Snake Eyes and Scarlett take cover behind the crates.
Rock n Roll tries to pin a HISS tank gunner in his turret but fails.
The FANG conducts a strafing run on the Joes and fires a rocket into the VAMP destroying it.
Another HISS tanks enters to flank Scarlett and Snake Eyes.
Wild Bill takes off with the Dragonfly and Short Fuze runs to man the Whirlwind.
The whirlwind destroys the cab and driver of the other Cobra Truck.
Scarface deploys the SNAKEs from the wreckage.
Major Bludd’s team fires onto Steeler.
-but he makes it to the hangar and jumps in the MOBAT.
Rock n Roll unloads his M60 into the FANG pilot downing it and killing the pilot.
It’s getting hot out here!!
The destroyed VAMP, Clutch and Grunt don’t make it.
The dynamic duo move to better ground as a HISS tank tries to target them.
Major Bludd seizes the HAL
Short Fuze is wounded when the Whitlwind is destroyed by fire from the SNAKEs, so goes back to his mortar but misses.
Wild Bill returns for a strafing run on the SNAKES, fires the chin turret but the SNAKE shrugs it off and he misses with a sidewinder.
Breaker and Zap move for better ground.
Gun duels between the MOBAT and HISS tanks. The riders are killed by small arms fire of Snake Eyes and Scarlett.
The HISS tank brews up the APC but the MOBAT toasts the HISS tank killing all operators onboard.
The second HISS finally finds its mark and destroys the MOBAT and Steeler.
Cobra Commander’s team reveals itself moving through the fields.
Major Bludd looks for targets with the HAL.
Snake Eyes and Scarlett kill the Cobra HISS tank riders in hand to hand but are then gunned down by repeated SNAKE hmg fire.
Not many Joes left.
Flash moves to try to take out a HISS tank but is killed by it.
The Baronness’s team seizes the gold making it a win for Cobra.
It was a fast paced game, 6 turns long and about 3 hrs long. Very hard to say which way it would go until the very end.
More to come,

Awesome pics and report mate. Great looking table.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they get for not fencing off the whole post and allowing civ traffic thru un checked. Why the US Army waited tell after 9/11 to do that boggles the mind.
ReplyDeleteTrue that!
