Word gets out that the local Murch's Trading Post at Karnak has just received a fresh shipment of ice cold Coca-Cola!
Here is the board, Murch's across from a tourist trap Ramses head with freshly arrived supplies dumped behind the trading post.
Only the 1st plot point was on the board to start, the finder of 1 places 2, and the finder of 2 places the Major Plot Point!
Knowing surely that must be a ruse for something underhanded, three groups rush to the scene!
Team Possible with Kimberly Possible, Ronald and Suki the Ninja!
Possible's ole rival, Evy O'Connel, Rick and Jonathan!
Newly arrived from the bush, Tennessee Buck with his companion The Huntress and Lion his bulldog!
The three groups warily approach the truck that the Coke should be in.
Seeing the redhead, TN pops off a shot, grazing her.
[the red d6 by a figure represent a wound]
Rick strides forth, pistols blazing!
Kim reaches the truck but cant get the crate open!
Lion rushes Suki barking his dreaded death Bark, only to be shown the drop kick O Ninja death!
The Huntress rushes Jonothan with her knife only to have him ungentlemanly show her the butt of the Enfield!
Lead flies around the Ford but Kim finally gets the crate open only to find a pair of oily gloves and not a refreshing beverage. Wasn't there an oily barrel around the side of the Trading Post? [Plot Point 2]
Rick rushes around the Ford only to be attacked from behind by who?
BAM! Oh its you…
Hmmm how do you open this thing?
Meanwhile after sucker punching the uncouth Englishman, the Huntress stalks over the hot tin roof!
Within the barrel Rick find a shipping invoice to deliver cases of Coke and one coffin.
A coffin? [The Major Plot Point!] Wasnt there a coffin behind the trading post?
Everyone rushes to the back! Bullets, fists and dastardly cards a'flyin!
Hmmm, I've opened ancient sarcophagus and I cant figure this out?
The Pembroke scholars wont be happy.
Take that!
Shhhh, there's no one up here…
Who do I shoot first and why does that fella look so happy with the scrap of paper he got from the coffin?
Here I come! Give me that scrap of paper!
I'm not afraid to hit a girl!
TN Buck rushes in to help Huntress and they put Ron into the dirt, but Evy grabs the now loose scrap of paper and run for it!*
TN and Kim give chase!
A dastard slip puts Buck down! [A leader killer card, make 3 successes or take 3 hits… I didn't make it]
Out of ammo, Kim watches in frustration as Evy once again foils her!
Another exciting game that went down to the wire this time. The game was extended by cards out to 7 turns and my youngest playing Evy grabbed the win on turn 6 and ran! My eldest playing Kim, took second with 2 minor points and ole Dad comes in third with nada. At least this time I didn't have all my team down. ;D Yes, we're still using 432 leagues for time reasons. We also used no frill rules, but the girls are getting it and I hope to start playing with the full rules soon. The pain of defeat was lessened by the joy of being beaten in a wargame by my daughters while sincerely trying to win. ::)
And yes we raised the board up above the table. Good trick that.
As usual, thanks to the usual suspects!
*This is where I cost my eldest the game. She had all the plot points at this point in time and I didn't realize that when I took Ron down, I didn't get the plot point and Evy was the only one who hadn't moved yet this turn. The rest is as they say, history and a third win for number two daughter.
