#Sologaming #5150StarMarine campaign

Third tour on planet [431], March 2222:
Mission 10: Repair the Phase-Conjugate graviton.

Someone needs to adjust the sarium krellide transceivers with a tetryon clamp.

(says the Star Trek technobable generator)

Let's declare Number 6 done for #MiniatureMonday.
I now have a Zhuh-Zhuh, 6 apes squad to play #5150StarMarine

Also: I think domestic printers should be called "Murphies". In my experience, they really obey Murphy's Law.

I've been thinking for weeks now of buying a few #ork boyz to play in my #5150StarMarine campaign.
I found a box with a 25% discount that payed for the bottle of Nuln Oil that I got it with, in a shop in Reims (a beautiful city where I did not go to buy new minis...).
Here starts the #ZhuhZhuhProject...

#Sologaming #MiniatureMonday
#5150StarMarine campaign. April 2221:
Mission 7 accomplished, at the cost of Sgt Garides'life. Campaign morale is 5 for the Marines, 3 for the xenos.
Chavez is now a Corporal but he gained no Fame Points, as he used all his Star Power to survive a melee with 2 xenos. Replacements are coming to bring back the squad to 6 members.

#Sologaming #MiniatureMonday
#5150StarMarine campaign, Mission 6: C.A.T. Hunt (after a #SpaceHulk mission)
Second contact: an ambush by 6 xenos that charge immediately.
Well... it's late already. I've got to work tomorrow... so I'll save the fight for another day.
Note: I managed to improvise a battle board with what I had laying around in my studio/workspace/gaming room/dump/whatever...

I've designed a random system (using d6s) to generate some space #DungeonMap for #5150StarMarine missions.
Then I tried to use Space Hulk V2 tiles to give it a "pleasant" look.
The result is not optimal (as the tiles jigsaw patterns do not always match the design), but good enough.
Variations on 6 rooms, 4 corridors, 1 boarding & 1 objective zone, 3 P.E.F.

#Sologaming
#5150StarMarine campaign, March 2221: back to Planet Z (Class 1), 4th Ring, 3rd Sector.Mission 5: Defend
(2 AT-43  gaming tiles as battle board)
Nothing much to be defended from after all: only 5 xenos showed up. At least one civilian was saved.
Chavez is back to Rep 5, with 19 Fame Points.

Trying to design some Space Travel maps for a #5150StarMarine campaign, with Inkscape and Game-Icon.net (with a GW genestealer symbol in the mix)

So... #Orctober?
I'm really more into Sci-Fi at the moment. Playing Marines vs Aliens using #5150StarMarine rules.
Would I want to do something for Orctober, I still have unpainted #minis that would qualify. I have them since 2007...

#Sologaming
#5150StarMarine campaign, Mission 4: Raid.
Using battle boards asks for a high level of abstraction (for Cover, Duck Back) and leave little choices to the player.Great for quick games, but it can be repetitive in campaing mode.
So I'm back to using a larger board (2X3 12" AT-43 gaming tiles as my table size won't allow the standard 3X3 sections)

#Sologaming
#5150StarMarine campaign, Mission 3: Boarding
Using Space Hulk V2 tiles to map the ship. Not in scale of course, but that does the job just fine.

#Sologaming
#5150StarMarine campaign, Mission 2 was: ESCORT.
- The squad survived 3 contacts and reached the destination, but not the civilian they were escorting, killed by an EXPLODING GOO ATTACK.
- Received 1 marine as replacement (lost two during first mission)
- Star Marine Campaign Morale: 5, Xeno: 4 (no change)
- Pvt Chavez has 5 Fame Points

I've started a #5150StarMarine campaign last night and I'm not sure how to post updates about it.
It could be here on Mastodon, using threads and hashtags, or it could be on the #2HW forum/boards. Then, from time to time, it could become a blog post.
I've missed Internet forums.

#Sologaming #TabletopGaming
Just bought and used #5150StarMarine from #2HourWargames.
Boarding Action mission with #SpaceHulk V2 minis.
The xenos were dealt with easily enough but the ship A.I. kept messing with the craw section controls until the "Depressurization" Anti-Boarding measure finally sent everybody into space... Good game though.
