One of Captain America's targets: a tank park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the games I ran at Fall In this weekend was Captain America by GASLIGHT, in which Captain America and his strike team conduct a raid to blow up many of Hydra’s advanced weapons. \u00a0These tanks came from Indiana Jones play sets that were available at Disney World a few years ago.<\/p>\n

In this picture you can see some of the German defenders. \u00a0In the distance you can see a flying wing that also came from the Indiana Jones play sets from Disney World.<\/p>\n

This is a long shot of the compound, showing the Hydra flying saucer and another small compound with a robot inside. \u00a0In the foreground is a hangar that hold an experimental rocket plane.<\/p>\n

Captain America’s strike force entered from the top and right of this picture. \u00a0Their mission was to blow up as much of the Hydra equipment as possible. \u00a0Unfortunately, Captain America was shot on turn 1 and rolled a 20 for his Save — and should have died. \u00a0I had his girlfriend Peggy jump in front of the bullet instead. \u00a0It was an inauspicious beginning.<\/p>\n

\"Battle<\/a>

Another squad in the strike force couldn’t manage to cut a hole int he fence to get to the giant robot for three turns, but eventually blew it up. \u00a0Another squad found the map with the locations of all the Hydra bases. \u00a0I wouldn’t let them drive off the table immediately. \u00a0Eventually some German cavalry on horseback and motorcycles caught up with the men with the map trying to escape in a truck. \u00a0After two rounds of melee, the Germans recaptured it. \u00a0The Americans blew up a plane, the robot, and two tanks — earning four points. \u00a0Because the Germans got the map away from the allies, they earned five points. \u00a0The game was a very narrow German victory.<\/p>\n

I think all the players had a good time. \u00a0I may run it again at Cold Wars.<\/p>\n
