Four of us played a game of The Last Drifters at the club last night and this time we decided not to have a race or a destruction derby, this time it would be two gangs fighting over a load of supplies on a truck.
On my side I had Ace and Wipe Out, my team mate had Lucky and Reaper.
We were facing Hell on Wheels and Yellow with Boss Man and Blade.
We set up a basic table with some trees a couple of ruined buildings and a truck in the centre on a road.
The first turn saw both sides race towards each other firing everything they had, we saw some early damage on a couple of cards but nothing too serious.
The next turn as the gap between the two gangs closed we started to see some heavy damage on a couple of the cars.
We even had one driver think about a head on ram to try and take out an enemy vehicle, but at the last second he thought better of it and slid past the vehicle firing his heavy machine gun at close range ripping big holes in the weak side armour.
I took Ace Straight in amongst Hell on Wheels and Yellow trying to panic them with a head on rush and some well-placed HMG shots, but they kept their cool and split hitting Ace as they went past causing, the passenger in the back of Aces car started to smell fuel…
Blade slipped around the tall building over on the right and hit Lucky in the side with several shots, but Lucky fired back before driving away and managed to return a few good shots, then Reaper joined in the fun and hit Blade as well as he drove past.
Lucky and Reaper continued to pursue Boss Man as he squeezed between the truck and the rough ground all the time firing into the rear of his car.
Boss man managed some fancy driving to join up with Hell on Wheels and Yellow, and started to try and come back around to get behind Lucky and Reaper.
Then we got the first casualty, Lucky took several hits then it was rammed by Yellow which in turn I rammed with Wipe Out, so two cars were out of this fight.
Several more shots hit into Hell on Wheels light armour as it faced off against Reaper.
I rammed into Boss Man taking him out but then Ace was rammed in the side by Hell on Wheels a few seconds after Reaper was taken out of the fight.
This meant all that was left was my Wipe out who was stationary after his ram into Yellow and Blade who was coming around the trees at the bottom of the table, both vehicles were not in great shape.
Wipe Out's driver slammed the car into reverse desperately trying to get away from Blade who was now firing into Wipe Out's side armour.
But it was too late, Blade managed to get in a ram to finish me off… but Wipe Out exploded spraying pieces of car back into Blade doing more damage.
But Blade's vehicle was able to limp away from the wreckage, it was badly damaged but was still mobile, so he could claim the supplies on the truck for his gang.
Oh it was so close!!!!
