Deathship One - Gamma Room

-

 One by one, the troopers appeared in new long room. 

"What the hell is going on?  What just happened?  It's like we disappeared from one room and appeared here." said Pvt. Henney.

"I know.  This is some very strange stuff." replied Pvt. Barton.

"Shut up you two.  Keep alert and shoot anything that moves." yelled Sgt. Stryker.


The next room the troopers entered was Gamma Room.  This was 18" by 3'.  There are four discs in the room that have the potential to move around.  If they touch a trooper, the trooper will take damage.

"All right boys, we've been in this hell before.  There's that strange exit over there." pointed Lt. Williams.  "Let's move out, and get out of here."

"Sir!  There are more of those strange alien machine things.  This isn't going to be a cake walk." said Cpl Smith.

"Don't worry.  God goes before us." whispered Rev. Lacey.

The first turn wasn't too bad.  The troopers took out a few aliens, and the discs moved out of the way to give a clearer path.


The Lt. took careful aim, and blew a Rieger away.  Double 10s!  That sucker is deader than dead.

...but, a Drekyl took aim back and killed Lt. Williams.  While he was the first trooper to die in this room, he wouldn't be the last.


A Rieger moved up and attacked Cpl Williams.  He fell in a heap.  Pvt. Henney attacked the Rieger and dispatched it.

Sgt. Stryker took aim, and blasted two Slatheks.  I played the "Full Auto" card which allowed him to take two shooting actions without moving. 

The Maj also got into some hand to hand combat with a Rieger.

During one event, a Slathek appeared in a random disc.  Unfortunately, that was in front of Sgt. Stryker.  The Slathek rolled great and hit the Sgt for 7 points of damage.  The Sgt. ran for it after this as he's much better at range with his machine gun.

Pvt's Henney and Barton had a Rieger appear at the exit and they had to deal with it before they could leave.

In the end, the Sgt was the last one to make it out alive.

Cpl. Smith and Lt. Williams bodies were left on the floor.  There was no way to recover them.  The worst part is that the Corporeal was the squads medic.  There would be no healing for the next room.

I did realize that the Dreykl's are armored.  While they can still be knocked down, they will only die on a result of a 10.  This is going to make the next rooms much harder.

AAR 3 - The Infected Trees

The Commandos were able to determine what had attacked the small village they had previously scouted out.  It ended up being a nest of spiders.  And not just any type of spider; Giant Spiders.  This is Mission 1 Scenario 2 from the Rangers of Shadow Deep rule book.  I didn't have to change anything to make it work with Airborne of Shadow Deep. "Hey Sergent." "What?" "Have I ever told you that I hate spiders?" "Most people hate spiders, Captain." "No, you don't understand.  I REALLY hate spiders." It was obvious that the spiders had been busy by the looks of things.  There were cocoons all over the place.  The size of the cocoons indicated that the must have bodies inside them.  The team quickly moves up and engages a spider. The Captain and Sergeant move up to take on a spider. Cpl. Smith takes to the hill for a better shot at a spider. With out notice, the spiders quickly swarm Cpt. Ryker and Sergeant Stryker.  Without batting

AAR 2 - The Missing Informant

The Reverend Lacey got notified that one of his informants went missing.  He and his commandos went to the small village to investigate.  Once they got there, they knew things weren't right.  There was no one in the village.  It was completely deserted.  The houses were all locked up as if the whole village decided to move away.  What could have scared them so bad to leave everything behind? I played the Scenario 1: Deserted Village from the main Rangers of Shadow Deep rulebook.  I didn't need to make any changes to the scenario to work with Airborne of Shadow Deep.  Instead of the group looking for another ranger, it was an informant.  I left Aventine's sword in the scenario.  I figure it will work fine in the Weird War 2 setting. And on with the report... The commandos arrived at the small village and started looking around.  There wasn't anything special about the village.  Some houses surrounded a central area, and copses of trees around the whole village.  While t

Deathship One - Epsilon Room

"What the hell just happened in there!?!?" screamed Sgt. Stryker. "They're dead!  They're dead!" sobbed Pvt. Henney. "May God have mercy on their souls while we're still in Hell." whispered Rev. Lacey. "Jumping Jehoshaphat, we're still stuck here!" said Pvt. Barton. The team appears in a new room.  That room was Epsilon Room, one with shifting walls.  Every event phase, a random section of the enclosed room in the upper right corner would open.  This really sucks as you run your team to an opening to only have it close when they get there.  You're a mean one Mr. McCullough.  There's a reason I like your games. The team started to move out and hope for the best.  They were all bleeding badly and very tired.  This was because the medic, Cpl. Smith, was killed in the last room.  There was no healing between the rooms. At first, things were going well.  The team moved as a group on one side of a wall so they only had to deal w
