I've been doing a bit of emailing back and forth with Cheetor and Asslessman and I've gotten to the point where I have a decent idea of the Scenario that Cheetor and I are going to play at BOYL and that Asslessman is going to GM in proper old school style.
The scenario is in three parts, Pirates, Ork Freebooters and GM. I'm going to keep the GM part secret until after BOYL as Cheetor has suggested that if anybody else wants to have a go at playing the game during the weekend then we could (any of the 3 of us) could GM it for them when the table is free. If anybody is interested contact me here, through the forum or through the FB group.
Any way, on to the briefings.

Baltazar Blovelt isn’t having a good week.
Firstly an Arbites Cruiser caught and impounded his ship leaving him and his
crew with no option but to surrender and get carted off to the local Penal
Colony. Then the cruiser gets attacked by Orks on the way and he loses his
trusted bosun when it’s boarded. In the chaos the only ship the remaining crew
could find was a rusty old Arvus! and now it turns out that you can’t even
trust the local smugglers!
Being the cautious type Blovelt had
deposited his latest takings with a contact in Ferrograd but now the scumbag
wants to double his cut or Blovelt gets nothing! Ratbag! You just can’t trust
anybody these days!
The loot is hidden in Ferrograd somewhere.
All he needs to do is find it!
Baltazar’s Pirates have one mission and that
is to get their stash into their shuttle and get the hell out of ‘grad.
The problem is that other people are
making life difficult.
Your contact has hidden the 5 crates of
loot around Ferrograd but is only going to tell you the whereabouts of 3! He’s
decided the other two are his ‘payment’. Can’t a pirate trust anybody these
days? You have three choices
1) Take the deal and
only get enough loot to buy a 3rd hand semi-scrapped ship.
2) Take the deal but
look for the other two crates anyway, but that’ll take time and the authorities
will be looking for you.
3) Shoot the double
dealing rat and have to look for all the crates as well as having to shoot your
way out of town.
The crates need to be dragged to the Arvus
in the landing area. A servitor can drag one crate at normal movement or two
crates at half rate. Two crewman can drag a crate at normal speed but a single
crewman at half rate.
When looking for a crate in a building it
takes 1 full turn for a crewman to enter the building and find the crate. The
crate is then placed at the front door. All doors are locked and are T4 W1.
When da lads knocked off dat impeerul ship dey was upset dat dere was no
gold. It’s not good when da lads is upset. Dats the kind of sityooashun dat
ends wiv a chopper between the shoulder blades.
Lucky dat the funny lookin humie told da lads where to find some goodies.
All it took was a good beatin!
Da humie said dat dair was at
least 5 crates of loot iding in Ferrograd and dat some pointy eared git knew
where it all woz.
All we needz to do is get in, findz it and get back out. If we has a scrap
while we’re at it, all the betta!
The ork mission is simple.
Get in, Get the loot, Get out
However, humans have a way of
complicating things. First of all, humans don’t often take kindly to Orks
strolling up to their front doors and asking to be let in. So to solve this the
Orks have to employ Kunnin and Straturgy! And use Grots!
The Orks have found their way into the
waste recycling systems in one of the sectors on the outskirts of Ferrograd but
need to get the door open from the other side in order to get in. To do this
they have sent some grots down into the sewage system in order for them to get
into the central sector and open the door. All they have to do is get there
without getting seen!
Once the doors are open the boys are
free to loot and rampage and to find the pointy eared git who knows where the
treasure is. Or to steal it off whoever has it. Whatever comes first.
In order to get out the Freebooters
need to get to the landing pad area and use a signalling doo-dad to get the
attention of the Ork who is flying the getaway vehicle. It’ll take D3 turns for
the flyboy to arrive. If the loot is waiting it’ll take one boy one turn to get
a crate on board. Then once they are all onboard it’s time to make their
escape!
The
Orks must split their forces into two. One section must contain only gretchin
or snotlings and start at the entrance to the sewage pipe. They must get to the door of the section
where the rest of the freebooters are hiding and pass a leadership test to open
the door.
At
this point the rest of the Orks can enter Ferrograd and do as they see fit to
secure the loot.
The
crates need to be dragged to the the landing area. A servitor can drag one
crate at normal movement or two crates at half rate. Two crewman can drag a
crate at normal speed but a single crewman at half rate.
When
looking for a crate in a building it takes 1 full turn for a crewman to enter
the building and find the crate. The crate is then placed at the front door.
All doors are locked and are T4 W1.
With 3 games to be played on Ferrograd, I don't know what time will be left for other players but I will happily GM and lend miniatures to whoever wants to have a go !
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such an enjoybale mess !
Knowing this game will be followed by the confrontation one with results from the 1st game influencing on the second... can't wait!
Its going to be a memorable scenario for sure, like a collection of results from the old RT Scenario made solid.
ReplyDeleteWith the terrain and miniatures that you have put together for this, its going to be a contender for Best in Show too I think. Something to be proud of.
Photos of painted Skallywags will start appearing soon, next week with a bit of luck.
Hmmm... This looks most, most interesting, I'll enjoy watching how you play this :)
