It was a peaceful day on Ulna, a modern-day Teklevel planet in the Perwar sector.

Image

Until...

Image

Jimmy Tinder: 'Oh this is going to be so hype guys!'
Gaelle Strum: 'Look, LARPing is fun and all but I'm not sure we should tamper with landmarks.'
Harald Kain: 'Yeah man, my dad would be hella mad if he had to pay my bail like last time when we stole that ancient biplane!'

Image

Jimmy Tinder: 'Come on, where's your sense of adventure, ya wusses!'
*creaaak*
Jimmy Tinder: 'Whoa I thought this was only for sho-'

Image

Suddenly, eldritch beams of light burst out of the tomb.

Image

WHO DARES DEFILE THE SLUMBER OF SAKMUTH THE 27th!? FOOLISH MORTALS, FEEL THE WRATH OF THE IMMORTAL KING!

Image

Gaelle Strum: 'Good job Jimmy.'
Harald Kain: 'Oh fu-'

Image

The enraged skeletal rabble starts decimating the populous.

Image

Police officer Doolin: 'Curses, those blasted nerds ruin everything.'

Image

*kzzzk*
Police officer Doolin: 'GP HQ, this is Officer Doolin. We have an EA-0823* class crisis happening on Ulna Colony. I repeat, we have an EA-0823 class crisis happening on Ulna Colony.

*EA-0823: Eldritch Abomination of Unknown Origin

GP HQ: 'We have received your message officer and are about to dispatch strike teams. Our orbital relay shall project ELP* on the area.'

*ELP - Engine Lockdown Protocol

Image

Police officer Doolin: 'All in a days' work. I'm sure the GP can handle the rest.'

Image

All automobiles suddenly shut down.

Orbital Announcer: 'Citizens of Ulna Colony, we have just received a distress call about an EA-0823 class crisis happening in your area as of now. We advise you to evacuate in a calm and controlled manner before the Galactic Patrol Orbital Relay seals the area, utilizing our latest IsoTech(tm) forcefield system. We appreciate your cooperation and hope you will have a nice day!

So I figured I'd do something in the spirit of spookmas and offer you something completely different!

Map Overview:

Image

The map is a 3x3 Grid of 32x32 baseplates, starting from the top, going left to right:

A1 - T-junction with fire engine
A2 - Sir Rupert's Castle of Awesome(tm)
A3 - Turn with street sweeper
B1 - Turn with coffee stand
B2 - T-junction with rad roadster
B3 - Junction with yellow jeep
C1 - Riverside with Ancient Tomb of Horrors
C2 - Road with yellow smart car
C3 - Construction site

Map Rules:
All vehicles are under the effect of ELP - Engine Lockdown Protocol: This means they cannot be used for driving and are stationary. They still provide cover and explode if their engines get hit.

Teams and Objectives:

Civilians (Silent-sigfig) - A lot of generally useless minifigs caught in the crossfire. The controller of this faction has 1 turn to evac as many figures as possible from the map before orbital lockdown.

Can I get Police Officer Doolan? I'm sure he'll drive back when he sees the slaughter taking place in town.

Alternatively, if he doesn't want to drive back and Secret Factions are going to be involved, I'd like to commandeer one please.

Secret factions may or may not be added depending on how the battle plays out. I will let you know if any becomes available.

All spots are filled, if you have any questions about your teams, ASK HERE. I'm not accepting orders yet.

I'm still fond of all the ones ending in LET'S FIGHT!

Now if this were "Oh Fuck, Skeletons - LET'S FIGHT!" then we'd have a hit on our hands.
