Field Report: SA-120816-RtA

August 16th., 1922

Western Canadian Threshold Agency
Calgary Field Office

ATTN: Director Silver
RE: Case File SA-120816-RtA

The operation was a complete failure. The resistance we encountered was far better trained than we've encountered to date. We were outnumbered and outgunned, and were unable to recover any artifacts. I was able to destroy one of the crates before taking heavy fire myself, but the other three items items in question were lost. Consider them to be in use by evil forces and brief other field teams appropriately.

Additionally, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the loss of Agent Elizabeth Montrose while on assignment pursuant to case file SA-120816-RtA.

I respectfully request that you forward the enclosed personal effects to her family. Also, if possible to do so without revealing too much, please relay my utmost respect and admiration to them. She served heroically in her first two assignments, even saving my own life on one of those occasions. Her death was quick; at the hands of a cultist with obvious skill in long range weaponry who still remains at large. As you know, a swift end is the best one can hope for in our line of work.

I am confident that Agent Montrose had suffered no adverse mental or spiritual damage prior to being lost in action and, as she was following my orders, I accept full responsibility for her death. Her loss will be felt heavily by my team. I know it will be difficult for them, but please consider this letter as formal request for an immediate replacement.

Please be advised that Special Agent Luzifer had recently joined our team and was present for this mission as well. We thought he had been fatally wounded during this operation, but his body seems to have disappeared while we were tending to Agent Montrose. Without clear evidence of his demise or survival I recommend that he be listed is Missing In Action.

Sincerely,

Agent Carl Selinger

I played two games yesterday, one of which I can't really tell the world about in detail...as it was a preview / play test of an upcoming scenario.

I did take a few photos of the game described here, but I don't know if I need to post them up or not. I suppose I could just add them in at the end of the post.

Added the few pictures I remembered to take from Elizabeth's last mission. It was a pretty big disappointment for me. She was hit with the first shot taken on the Lurker player's first turn. Bad positioning on my part, good strategy and rolling on his. :(

I like the style of this post. Gives it a little more verisimilitude than just talking about the game. Nice.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

I picked a model to use for her replacement, but I haven't decided on colors yet...

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Painting Dreadball - The Etherian Horde

You know what's really sad? I've got all four season 1 Dreadball  teams in varying states of painted-ness, but none of them are actually  finished . My corporation team was pretty much finished until I messed them up, but I'll be posting more about them soon enough. Anyway, after over two weeks of being displaced from my home I was finally given the go ahead to return Sunday. With hot water and electricity restored I had to begin cleaning unspeakable organisms from my fridge and freezer, start vacuuming, do dishes that had long languished in the sink, and of course...laundry. All the stuff people love to do right?! With most of that complete or in progress I sat down to some (in my opinion) much-deserved personal time. I flipped the TV on and broke out some figures that I thought would be relatively quick and easy to work my way through: Season 2's robot team! These things look a lot like the robotic Horde trooper minions that work for Hordak (from Masters o...
