There has been a sort of tradition that Sunday is VSF day and this year was no exception. As most people leave on the Sunday throughout the day (various trains and planes to catch etc) it was a sort of ‘pick me up’ game with people coming and going as the day went on.
Not too much of a report as the game is part of a long running campaign which can be read on the Red Planet Miniatures blog (although I have several games to put on there to catch up before I post this one).
The basic plot was that a British Officer by the name of Allan Farquarson had been having his wicked way with the Imperial Japanese Princess and tensions between the Japanese and British empires had becomes strained to the point of war.
The Japanese has captured Allan and were holding him in an allied City Martian outpost waiting for a large relief column to come and extract him to earth. The British and their allies; the Germans and Americans, were out to take him back...
Suffice to say, they succeeded.

This where all my hobby and OSHIRO items will be posted. It's an eclectic mix but hopefully there's a bit of something for most people (if not everyone :-).

BLAM 2018 Cartel game
So, onto the second day and second game of the weekend. Film style drugs cartels.
Again, four players for this one; two cartel gangs, one D.E.A group and a small squad of marine corp.
The head Luchadore (a cartel boss) needed to be stopped boarding his plane after sealing a deal that would make his gang the most powerful in Colombia. One of the cartel gans was there to kill him, another was there to save him, the marines were there to ‘delete the asset’ and the D.E.A needed him alive.
The rules were a modified version of Fistful of Lead which is our ‘go to’ rules set and will be available on my website at the start of November.
Four games were played and it ended up with one technical win for the marines, one outright win for the marines, and a win each for the two cartel gangs. The D.E.A had the use of a couple of four by fours but no one seemed to want to use them that much and just got out and started shooting.
Again, no battle report as such but pictures in sequence.

The Return of the Empire Striking Back
Unrest continues throughout the galaxy. Reports of an large Imperial installation in the Moddell Sector have meant that the Rebel Alliance has sent out small infiltrator teams to scout out the systems. One group was sent to the Endor system and the small, temperate moon there to find out what they could...
The basic set up, Rebels on the left, Empire on the right.
The Imperial set up.
Team Aura with Rwaar, Dev and Lan'tec
Team Besh with Padawan Machinn, Teeqo and Nally
The rebel teams move up.
But not out of notice of the Imperial forces who move to engage
Padawan Machinn takes the fight to the Imperials and manages to down a scout trooper.
Meanwhile, Rwaar does the same but doesn't fair as well.
With the infiltrators team leader down and other members sustaining heavy wounds, the surviving Rebels beat a hasty retreat to try and report back to Alliance headquarters but will they get off planet before being overrun by the Empire...
Rules used were Fistful of Lead - Galactic Heroes. Translated well for Star Wars games and we will certainly be using them again :)

A little something from the weekend
I was fortunate enough to have an entire weekend of gaming from the 13th to the 15th at a little event called BLAM (British Lead Adventures Meeting). It's a small, invite only doo held in a pub in southwest London and has been going for ten years.
The basic idea is that around 20-30 people turn up and play games all weekend. The games are usually of a high standard and the members who participate spend a lot of time and effort in the figures, scenery and rules and a bloody good time is had all round.
I only hosted a Star Wars game this year as work got in the way for the weeks leading up to it and I didn't have time to finish anything off for it (this will be different next year).
Below are a selection of the games that were played. Not all of them, just the ones I remembered to take pictures of.
