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

    1. Thanks Bud! It was a bad day for the Joes, but at least we got to see Serpentor get mowed down.

  2. Noooo! A Pyrrhic victory for Cobra as they lost Serpentor himself, but the stalks remained to activate their awful plan.

    I 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 😮👏

    1. Thanks! Yeah, I think with the cartoon series they completely ran out of ideas and went full Agartha with the franchise.

    1. 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.
