Battle for Fort Legoredo (HH)
*__*BATTLE FOR FORT LEGOREDO*__*
A short time after the end of the American civil war the British empire sees an opportunity to strike back (yes that was a nerdy starwars reference).
The exertions of America during the war have left her crippled and unable to fight again for a long time. the British send an officer from the Old Guard to try and persuade some of the troops occupying the coastal forts to joing the Empire and it's forces.
If you didn't read that (which you probobally didn't) then you won't understand what on earth this battle or anything to do with it means.
NOTE:Captions are always below the relevant picture.
Overwatch.
Overwatch of the British cannons on the ridge.
Overwatch of the marshy ground (movement here is decided by rolling d6).
Also note that the skeletons are not involved in the battle at this point.
Overwatch of part of the harbor (the sheriff and his deputy are also visible on their patrol boat).
The potion can be consumed by anyone (nobody knows what it does though).
Overwatch of the rest of the harbor, the boat can be used by a team to move over water .
Overwatch showing the british officer of the old guard and his body guards.
This is an Overwatch of the fort (taken from the back).
The colonel of the cavalry is in the building.
Under the building there is another cavalry soldier.
Inside the fort (on the embrassure) there is the flag of booze and drink.
Nobody knows how it got there or what it means.
This is a shot of the gates (there is an officer on the roof and another in the tower behind).

TURN ONE
THE BRITISH EMPIRE
The first bodyguard picks off the officer on the roof with his bolt action rifle.
"PHUT"
"Uuuurrggghh"
"SMWACK"
if the bullet didn't kill him then the fall certainly did.
The Officer tries to jump through the gap in the wall of the fort.
Oh dear.
(i don't have any pics uploaded yet to image shack of what happened next)
The officer gets stuck in the wall. Unless someone helps him out he is stuck there for good.
The last body guard moves over towards the secondary gate of the fort (near the harbor) and saves his reaction fire.
The cannons on the ridge fire at the fort.
The first shot hits the wall where the US soldier was.
The soldier is knocked off the wall but otherwise unharmed.
Shot No. 2 tears the officer on the tower in half, splattering his guts all over the place in a very brikwarsy fashion.
SHERIFF AND DEPUTY
The sheriff pulls the patrol boat around in a slick turn.
The deputy tries (and fails) to hit the second British Bodyguard.
The bodyguard uses his response action to blow the deputies head of his shoulders.
The sheriff tries to use his heroic feat to climb up the palm tree.
Urm.
"SPLASH"
Maybe not.
*COUGH*crocodiles*COUGH*
The rest of turn one coming tomorrow.

I also have the "Gold city junction" set (I'm not sure if thats its name). The two of them came off ebay for around £46.
Anyway.
US CAVALRY
The Colonel decides to impale a giant ciggarette on his cavalry sabre.
He then goes outside to boss around his garrison.
The guy who got knocked off the wall earlier decides to get going.
He sits up to pick up his rifle.
He then moves over to the shooting gap and saves his response fire.
The guy under the building realises that he has been barricaded out of the fort by his daft friends.
After wasting his action trying to get back into the fort he goes out to explore around the ridge.
The soldier on the ledge realises that his officer is dead and a well of rage builds up inside him .
"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA"
" cough"
He climbs down the ladder and (after erupting with annoyance that his target is out of range) saves his response fire.
The guy in the corner of the fort nearest the British troops decides to try and take out a Bodyguard.
He jumps out from behind cover and fires two revolver bullets into the
Bodyguard's abdomen.
The british soldier is killed within minutes.
Meanwhile near the ridge.
...
TEAM UNLOCKED: THE UNDEAD
Team objective: collect ten heads and return them to the
skellie spaceship orbiting the planet.
Over by the lake ...
The skeletons over in the boat hear the call of their leader, Zombie Lincoln.
The other skeleton gets a 5 on his roll to decide his movement through the bog.
He goes over to the wall and pulls out a box. But what could be in it?
A rifle .
The other undead starts to fish, God knows what he hopes to find.
Mr. Warhead starts swishing his spear above the ridge, what could he be thinking?
"AHA GOT IT"
He flings the head on the floor and waits...
"BBBZZZZZTTT"
The head is teleported into the spaceship.
HEADS:1 out of 10
The undead assasin droid starts sprinting towards the US soldier.
Ouch.
The assasin droid stands back and watches as his handywork is beamed up to the spaceship.
HEADS:2 out of 10
Apologies about the smaller pics for this part of the round.
NEXT ROUND COMING TOMORROW.
Anyway.

Nice set up and mostly good pictures with a few blurry ones, though the change in size was a bit noticeable. I give it a 4.

I've got some more pics to come. If I've mised the deadline then its hard cheese but i'll upload the rest anyway.
TURN TWO
BRITISH EMPIRE
The bodyguard near the harbor gets bored of looking out to sea and
decides to give his officer a helpful kick up the arse.
"SMWACK"
"urrff"
The officer moves over to the embrassure and picks up the rocket stick.
The cannoneers on the ridge finish reloading the cannon and start to aim.
They fire off a shot at the guy standing on the wall.
The carnage is incredible.
One of the cannoneers takes the place of his fallen comrade.
The sheriff gets bored of sunbathing and thinks about booze.
He decides to drink the potion, atleast it's a little bit like booze.
"GlugGlugGlugGlug"
As the transformation takes hold the sheriff feels a rush of shock and indignity surge through him.
He is now a full rainbow knight. He can move 10 " per turn and has the ability to walk on water.
"ahh fuck"
The rest of the turn is coming in a minute.

US Cavalry.
The soldier under the wall shoots at a Britsh gunner on the ridge.
The gunner is cut down by a shot to the head.
He then takes cover behind a pillar.
The soldier near the harbor looks around and soon finds a target.
The bullet misses and makes a loud "THUD" as it hits the sand.
The soldier then hides behind the wall.
The colonel pulls a stick of dynamite out of the barrel and lights it with
the end of his giant ciggarette.
He tosses it over the wall and waits hopefully.
"BOOM"
The skeleton is killed (again) instantly by the ABS reaction.
THE UNDEAD
The other skellie is getting bored of fishing and thinking of packing it in when...
He finds a halberd!
No not a halibut you half-wits.
Mr. Warhead walks over to the horsies and...
... mounts up.
Warhead now has a horse.
The assasin droid runned over to the back gates of the fort.
Zombie Lincoln looks over towards the beheaded union soldier and thinks to himself "hmmn we need more undead".
The union soldier will fight for the undead next turn.
Zombie Lincoln and the sword wielding skeleton move up towards the back gates.
NEW FACTION UNLOCKED: TOWNSPEOPLE
Objective: protect the fort.
Allies:US Cavalry.
The townspeople hear the fighting and decide to come and help defend
the local fort.
They also have a stage coach that has entered from around the ridge.
The coach rattles round the corner.
Before coming to a screeching halt outside the fort.
The guns are aimed at the last british gunner.
The cannoneer is torn down by a hail of bullets.
The British guns are officially out of action until further notice.
The other townsfolk fire at the assasin droid and the skellie swordsman
but for some reason the didn't want to shoot at their old leaders undead counter part.
Miraculously the assasin droid survives but the swordsman does not have such luck.
It is "monday night" in my country and as this was the set deadline i think i am on time with the last part of my entry.
More will come tomorrow (i will finish the battle even if it isn't included in the hellhunt contest.)
Good luck to all in the HH contest.
