\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend we had a small play test of a scenario I am going to run at Fall In with Greg Priebe using To Be Continued… by GASLIGHT. \u00a0The scenario involves six groups of US soldiers advancing into a secret Nazi laboratory where the mad scientists are experimenting with creating creatures to help with the war effort. \u00a0These include giant ants, a giant crab, and other baddies. Also in the lab is a brilliant allied scientist who you can see in the picture above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each player had a team of six soldiers armed with a submachine gun, BAR, and four rifles. \u00a0The Americans were competing to be the first to get a scientific device or other information out of the laboratory. \u00a0They had cards they could plan on each other to lay German patrols or giant ants on the other players.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Germans and ants got tougher the closer they got to the laboratory. \u00a0In the picture above, a gelatin creature engages in hand to hand combat with three Americans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The giant crab was a difficult opponent, killing one or two soldiers, but eventually the American firepower prevailed.<\/p>\n

Of the four players who started the game, two were wiped out, and two other players each got off the table with one scientific device. \u00a0This is meant to be a six-player game, so with the added firepower, American casualties should be lower.<\/p>\n
