What Would You Do?
| Powder Monkey December 2010 |
Each month we will present a situation where you have to decide what
you would do.The map for the village of Valor will be the arena, pic
below. We will give you a squad of @ 5 to 12 men. All you will know is
you will be facing an equal force in points from any where in the
wargaming world, ancient to space and fantasy.
The board is two feet square, 60cm. Designed for 28mm figs. Each
square is 3 inches @75mm. Interiors of the buildings may be used. All
walls are presumed to be strong enough to stop bullets, arrows, etc.
Windows and doors where marked. All are always open. The center is a
muddy road. Does not effect movement. The circles are trees big enough
to provide Partial Coverage for human size. The east/west sides of the
hill do not slow movement. The north/south sides require a turn except
for the steps. They are at a Walk. The area at B5 is an open - east/west
- blacksmith shop. B7 is a barn with loft. Only loft window is to the
north. G3 is a two storied ruin. Most of the entire north wall is gone.
That entry is not a window. The only second floor window is above the
door. The side windows in the pic do not have a floor to stand on.

December's Contest.
Yeah, it's the holidays and we
had to bring back some special
combatants.
One team is Santa, Rudy and
three reindeer. Nothing but
speed and horns. Last year they
beat a team of space orcs. Can
they repeat?

If you don't remember last years battle, read story #4 North Pole Flyers.
But this wasn't last year. And neither were the results.
This time Santa took a licking and did not keep ticking.
Fellow deer, the stags are almost as fleet as the reindeer.
During play testing we rolled once where the antlers got locked. We finally
remembered that in life the pair would be locked and starve. But here the
stags have weapons and the reindeer are small. We have fun imaging a stag
walking around with a reindeer in its antlers. (We won't repeat the jokes.)
A pacifist Santa was no help. We were glad we put a time limit on the
games. All came down to Santa versus 1 or 2 Stags. He kept out running
them until the buzzers.
Enjoy the holidays from the staff of The Powder Monkey.
Keep those ideas coming in. Sent anything. We love them all.
