I would definitely want to read about a space opera on your blog.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-17999408380588197162014-10-01T06:05:24.600-07:002014-10-01T06:05:24.600-07:00Hi Hugh.

No telling really. I don't remember if it was in the original rules but now there is a sustained fire bonus. You get +1 for not moving and firing at the same target.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-57708756972576431522014-10-01T06:00:22.327-07:002014-10-01T06:00:22.327-07:00Hi AP, great to hear from you.

Essentially the same, just more variety of enemies. Sounds like your campaign was a good one.<br /><br />On a totally unrelated topic, I did that oil painting transformation of your picture and then got bogged down on framing (digitally). I of course got distracted by the next big thing. I'll try to sort it out and send it to you.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-77272815398605680462014-10-01T05:54:36.188-07:002014-10-01T05:54:36.188-07:00Hi TB, thanks it was pretty fun and I kept my son ...Hi TB, thanks it was pretty fun and I kept my son interested almost to the end. Since I stole the format from someone else I would encourage you to steal it from me. I used to do them in GIMP but Comic Life 3 makes it a lot quicker. You just have to get used to how the program works.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-86854728600971323082014-10-01T00:46:07.542-07:002014-10-01T00:46:07.542-07:00Great read and a typical Space Hulk game from my e...Great read and a typical Space Hulk game from my experieence - two squads become one !<br />The biggest disasters I've been a part of have always been multiplayer co-operative ones.

I think it would have gone well with the 'graphic space opera' reporting technique.<br /><br />I commanded the Imperial Fist (I think they were called; the yellow guys at any rate). The other contingent I think came from the Blood Angels, but as this was 20 years or so ago, I can't recall exactly.<br /><br />At any rate, our first mission was a disaster. Our squad never did connect up; and we emptied just two rooms of the hulk we were tasked with clearing before we were attacked by apparently endless numbers of orcs, cyborgs and other nasties. I lost my whole squad, and barely made it out of the place, myself, carrying several battle scars.<br /><br />After that, our missions went quite well, on the whole. Over the weeks and months (we played only occasionally), I received several promotions, got more guys and handy assets. We never finished the campaign, but in our last mission, were severely tested when the bulk of the defending Orci Horribili and Automata Terribilia tried to take out my squad, leaving the Blood Angels relatively unmolested. It did the enemy no good: the Imperial Fist triumphed triumphantly once again.<br /><br />A fun game.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-29213946243607664032014-09-30T21:09:45.380-07:002014-09-30T21:09:45.380-07:00Great battle report.
