Urban Warfare 6/26/08
Two equally matched sides duke it out in a somewhat urban (not enough briks) city: Studville.
Here are some pictures of the city:
The McDonald's, complete with drive-thru and incompetent employees.
The Police Station
Our magnifecent two house neighborhood.
Two run down old houses, located just across the street from the merry little neighborhood.
A bakery and pharmacy right in the middle of town.
The park and a little blue car I made.
An alleyway behind the bakery and pharmacy. To the right is the run down area, if you're trying to get your bearings.
A tire shop across from the police station. To the right is the neighborhood. Note the stoplight facing the wrong direction. That sums up our tour of the city, now for the fun part.
My army consisted of vikings, two cavalrymen (the right one I dubbed "Rider of Rohan"), a special forces squad, two heavy troops with muskets, my hero, "Johnny", some clones, a tank, blah blah blah. They're storming the city from the McD's entrance.
My brother/arch nemesis. In front was his hero- Captain Bluebeard. On the left is an anti-tanksquad (thanks to James+Burgandy for the RPG idea). Some stormtroopers, some orange guys with an assualt ATV, some green guys he called the "lightsaber junkies", and darth vader and his death squad.
He made his base in the backyard of some unlucky family.
My advancing troops. My assassin goes into the McDonald's.
"One BigMac please."
My enemy's advance. It was discovered that red spacemen have an inborn ability to hotwire cars.
D'oh! My brother madeit to the truck first.
I thought this was a pretty nice picture of my brother's wimpy officer hiding from my spec-ops squad.
The first blood is shed!
MUAHAHA!!! My enemy perishes more! I think the Rider of Rohan dropped his lance though.
My assassin is shot, so he commits hara-kiri.
Vikings > Darth Vader
My tank's view of the battle. I think my heavy trooper tried to jump and stab the trooper in the car, but didn't quite make it.
Four vikings get blown to shreds by a grenade.
My knight smashes the gunner off the assault ATV.
My hero attempts to lunge at the driver, but fails and falls on his face.
How embarrassing.
My sniper on a rooftop.
He shoots a stormtrooper.
An overview of the battle in the alleyway.
And the fight at the intersection.
My brother's sniper way atop the police station.
Captain Bluebeard performs a a heroic feat where he jumped onto the ATV and blew the head off my knight. Notice the Rider of Rohan in the background.
The red spaceman with a rocket launcer blows a chunk off my tank's turret. Apparently my tank does not get along well with the dice.
My troopers' view of the alleyway from the park.
Johnny, my hero, leaps over a horse and fires a single shot straight down the barrel of the ATV gun. Johnny's bullet sets off the round in the big gun, which explodes- damaging the big gun and sending my brother's hero flying.
The enemy sniper takes the head off of mine.
The battle so far.
My brother's death trooper rolls a grenade into the bakery for no apparent reason.
None of my troops were harmed, but my brother was pleased with the results anyway.
My brother's hero tried to chuck a tire at mine, but failed and hit his own man, who's probably wondering why the heck he ever followed the egocentric idiot into this battle in the first place.
Attack from behind!!! My Rider of Rohan gives this stormtrooper's innards a suprise visit- with his lance.
A fun day at the park.
Coup de grace!
That darn sniper is still on the police station with nobody to challenge him.
My hero almost died. the left roll is the attack. If it wasn't for my critical success when rolling armor, Johnny would...uh, be dead. anyway...
A trooper dies and the remaining two commandeer the blue car.
Johnny shoots the wimpy red officer. Serves him right for hiding from combat.
A well-placed grenade kills two of the enemy.
Another stormtrooper falls to my merciless rider! Muahaha!
Good thing I have Geico. My car just got rearended by my brother's truck.
The lightsaber junkies haphazardly stab into the car windows, decapitating both driver and passenger.
The Rider of Rohan ditches his horse, lance and shield to pick up a musket.
"Defend yourself!"
My tank finally fires! The police station and red spaceman take some serious damage.
Finally, the sniper is defeated. Who by? The Rider of Rohan of course!
My spec-ops guy plants an explosive charge.
...but then he gets shot.
After a long and epic battle, Bluebeard is slain and Johnny proves to be the better warrior.
The charge goes off, blowing away a wall and trash can, but the enemies escaped.
Johnny slays an enemy.
BOOM!!! The Rider of Rohan kills some fool in an orange jumpsuit. What idiot dresses his army like that anyway??
...my brother says "Shut up."
NOOOO!!!!! How did I let that happen?!?!
My hero was avenged my next turn, and the long battle was won.
The final overview. This battle was seriously long. I think it took us around 6 hours over the course of two days. In the future it shouldn't take as long. That was our first battle, so we weren't familiar with the rules.
The survivors. My tank, it's crew, and of course the Rider of Rohan.
Thanks for reading!
