Is the China Station scenario with the boat next or one or two games away?   How is the work on the Junk / Asian boat progressing?   If you need a period type ship to use I have the SS Thor model assembled.  It is a  small motor ship or cargo lighter and is typical of many such workhorses of the sea which ply the inter-coastal trade:

 One option would be to have 2 or 3 boats (possibly Thor and a Junk) tied up alongside to create more space for figures as below:

The same company (Tin Soldier) makes this Junk:

Leagues of the China Station Campaign part 3

This is the third and possible last posting of the leagues that are partaking in the campaign.

Up first is a classic from the character book, Buzz Barkers Island Hoppers. This week will be the first time this league gets to participate in the campaign.

 

Leagues of the China Station campaign part 2

More of the leagues, including the infamous card league.

First up a league built by one of the rookies to pulp alley. A very good shooting league!

 

Leagues of the China Station campaign

So, part one of the leagues of the campaign, spotlighting the various leagues that are appearing in our China Station campaign. Today we will look at three leagues: The Black Lotus, Royal Navy Shore Party and the mystery league...

First up is the Black Lotus league. there is nothing much special about this league, pretty much a cut and paste from the character book except that the Dominion per was selected and the gang has an extreme focus on brawling pretty much at the expense of anything else. They can pack quite the punch, if they are able to close with the enemy!

 

Next gameday will be on the Labour Day long weekend (day TBD)

 

Possible table for one of the scenarios (WIP)

Next game day to be Sunday August 27th

Looks like we will have another good turn out with maybe 6 players, 7 if it rains that day...

There will be at least 3 game boards set up, two scenarios that are part of the campaign and one 'classic' scenario to round out the games. Anything gained in this classic scenario will of course count towards the campaign. 

I know a number of players have been assessing their leagues seeing how they can tweak them for the campaign, I do look forward to seeing these updated leagues in action.

New Pulp Alley gang idea, the thoughtful gang

 A couple of us have been thinking about a different type of gang. I am not the originator of this idea, but these are some of my thoughts on the matter. 

To start with I listed all the existing abilities that gangs might normally have. Then on the right I listed what I thought could stay and what abilities could be added to reflect a more thoughtful less violent gang.

Pulp Alley China Station campaign update 2

 

Scenario 2 BREAKOUT

Scenario 3 THE HOUSE OF LAU

Scenario 4 BIG TROUBLE

The latest update to the campaign, after 4 scenarios/8 played games.

Scenario 4 will remain set up for those who have yet to play it and I shall start work on setting up the next two scenarios.

Starting with scenario 5 leagues will be able to use any resources that they acquire.
