PULP ALLEY Battle Report: Hunting BAGI

Another PA Solo game I played last year.

The scenario was a simple smash & grab, only one major plot (Bagi) and two perilious areas (plus the mountains to climb, if needed).

Background

193X Somewhere in Central Africa.
Some news about a strange pink monster wandering in the savannah come to the ears of Sir Errol, a skillful hunter.
He is intrigued and decide to investigate. After several days he found his prey, but there are other hunters that are chasing the pink panther.
In fact, the Cabinet RS/33 is aware of the rumors about the pink panther and sent Capitan Littorio to investigate. (they suspect that the nature of Bagi is alien, but they are wrong)

Errol: "Fascists. I Hate these guys"  :-[

an overview

The legio gain 4 gear points and use for give to the leader a Weapon X and Utility Belt.
The Baker Safari won the initiative.

Here the deployment of the leagues:

1 TURN

Errol has the initiative, however he decide to wait the move of the fascists.
The blackshirts run and open fire to Errol, nothing.
Errol responds to fire, 4 HITS and the blackshirts are KO  :D
Blackshirts "We are under heavy fire! Retreeeeeeeeeeeat!!"  :-X
Errol "Not Bad for my first shot!"  :D

Errol exalted by his lucky shot, allows the activation of an additional enemy unit.
Giulietta make her move and open fire to Errol. She hit him! He is injured now, but she suffer from the return fire too.
Giulietta "Not all you opponents will be so easy, tesoruccio! (darling)   >:D

Errol think that is better to find a cover now. ;)
Errol "Mh, I should not underestimate the little girl... ouch! She hits hard..."  :-X

Winston runs to take the major plot.
Winston "Wooof Wooof" Droooooooooooooooollll  ;D

The remaining legionaries complete their movement and shooting, but Winston suffer only 1 wound. (he has health 12 after all)
Capitan Littorio "This is impossible! HOW could it survive to such a volume of fire?!  :o

2 TURN

Winston win the challange and take the major plot.
Tired and injured from the hunting of the fascists, Bagi instinctively feels that it's better to trust in the huge bulldog and decide to follow him.

From his cover, Errol fire, two eritreans are down, but now Winston seem an easy prey for the shooting of the legionaries.
He is injured again, but will recover next turn.
Errol "Damn! That dog sometime is too impetuous!"

3 TURN

Winston rush Giulietta and survive to the return fire. From now a long and hard brawl will begin, each side injuring and recovering.
Giulietta "Dannato cane rognoso... e pure bavoso!" (Damned mangy dog... and slobbering too!)  >:(  :-X
Errol move and open fire, at least to intercept some of the opponents that could rush Winston. However one of the paratroopers and the eritreans rush Winston.
Eritreans "Follow me comrades! We must help our lieutenant!"
One of the eritreans is down during the brawl with winston. Winston continue to lose wounds, but still resist.
Capitan Littorio and the other paratrooper open fire to Errol. He is HIT, now is Health is ONLY 6!
Capitan Littorio "Splendid! Soon the VICTORY will be ours!"  >:D

4-5 TURNS
In these turns the brawl continue. Winston is a extremely tough opponent and the legionaries suffer the lost of one of the paratroopers and the last eritreans. While Winston recover from his injuries until Health 10. Errol is lucky, he could rush Giulietta before Capitan Littorio and his henchman could finish him. Errol is charged from the last paratrooper and Winston from the Capitan Littorio.
Capitan Littorio "NO! We can NOT[ lose! Not against a stupid bulldog!"  >:(

6 TURN
In the last turn Giulietta is down and Capitan Littorio has only Health 6. Errol and Winston have Health 8. The scenario is won from the Baker Safari that mantain the control of the major plot.
Errol "Quick Winston! Leave these bad guys to lick their wounds... Gooood doggie! You saved the day!"  :D
Capitan Littorio "DANNATI (Damned)! But NEXT time I will be VICTORIOUS!  >:( ...and anyway I do not think that the micetta rosa (pink kitten) is an alien, so I have not lost anything! RETREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"  :-[

Later, Errol will look in the eyes of his scared prey and finally will understand his mistake about hunt animals just for fun.
He will cure and feed Bagi. Grateful, Bagi will decides to accompany Errol in his new adventures.  :)

Dark Elves Harpies

Here my four harpies for my Monster Encounters that will be used in my Realm of Chaos campaign. I painted them with the classic paint scheme from the 1994 Dark Elf Harpies. They are not oldhammer miniatures (still avalaible now from citadel, but in resin, while mine is in metal) however I really could not like the older citadel harpies ;)

My Pulp Alley Plot Points, Bystanders Backups and Accessories

Here some plot points, bystanders, backups and accessories I've painted for my african campaign (congo) of pulp alley.

The congo african native villagers 

Tribal female amazon warrior drummer and chieftain, fine plot points for my campaign

Here a black panther and a "jungle girl". I could use the panther for perilous areas or as the sidekick for a "jungle girl" league

Here some members of Congo Belgian Force Publique during interwar (about 1933-1939) for my pulp alley campaign. They should be fine as bystanders or maybe a league too.

Belgian female Explorer

Some plot points and perilous areas

An evil altar and a native african female warrior prisoner... but beware! The prisoner could be a perilous area too (look in her back, that knife is ready for you or she is just trying to free herself?)

an altar of skulls and a classic pulp blonde girl in peril:

Some tents

Perilous areas: Snake and Quicksand

Some accessories and two perilous areas: crocodiles

Tomb graves

an african hut

a ruined greek temple

[PA League] Goddess Queen Talestri's Venusian Royal Guard

Here a greenskin alien venusian amazon pulp league I'm doing. The background is the same than the human amazons. These aliens are the ruling class of the african amazons of Themyscira.
Actually I've only painted three miniatures: Talestri, Asteria and Cassandra.

Queen Talestri

Captain Asteria

Princess Cassandra, the human-alien hybrid daughter of Talestri.

 I will paint the neiran core set by bombshell for the Royal Guards.

Background:

Talestri is the last queen of the amazons, leading her people from thousands of years. Her longevity has a simple explanation: she is an alien.
Talestri was the last princess of Venus too, fled from her home planet during the last apocalyptic days of the Techno-Biological wars between Venus and Mars.
She found refuge in the primitive planet of Earth, and the amazon people, impressed by her great powers, crowned her as their new queen.
Soon, she decided that her new people must find a safe hidden place were survive to the world of human males.
The new hidden city of Themyscira was founded in central africa were survived until the XX century.
Now, new and ancient enemies are threaten the peace of the forgotten city of Themyscira.

[PA League] Martian City State of Lacedaemon

Another Pulp Alley league I painted last year for my campaign: my idea is that these martians are the real founders of the ancient sparta (that later will be just lead by humans).

Background:

Thousands of years ago, few martians survivors fled from their dying world after the last days of the Techno-Biological wars between Mars and Venus.
They found refuge in the planet earth, as their venusian enemies did too. There they continued to fight their unending battle againts the venusians. Finally, the leaders of the opposing alien factions agreed to sign a truce and hid their people in the depths of the African jungle. Here for centuries the Martians and Venusians lived in relative peace, with only occasional skirmishes. However, the increasing human presence in the vicinity of their territories is annoying the martians and they are preparing themselves for war. They know well that, although still holders of the technological supremacy, they are greatly outnumbered by humans so they are planning to steal the lost cloning technology jealously preserved from their neighbors venusian.
