The Pursuit of Treasure - Turn 6 + 7

[Joshua]

It's getting down to the wire!

Undead Pirates - Mr. President


This skeleton takes aim at the guard pirate.


And he goes down!


These two both fire at the retreating pirates, but no dice.


The Undead Captain follows after Captain Scurlock and shoots him in the back. -1HP


Then he grabs the corpse of a dead skeleton...


And chucks him into the pirates, disrupting one.

Pirates - Scratch



Captain Scurlock: "Avast, Redcoats! He be the remains of the Dread Pirate Roberts!"

Redcoat Hero: "Is that so? After him, lads! He deserves the gallows!"

Scurlock successfully forces the Redcoats to only be able to target skeletons for this turn.


Scurlock then returns the favor and shoots his Undead counterpart in the back. -1HP


He then proceeds to climb into the ruins and get behind cover.


The formerly disrupted pirate gets up and fires, but misses.


The wench goes over to the cannon...


And after critically succeeding on a WISG (What I Say Goes) roll, she then hefts it around so it is pointing at the Bluecoats.


She lights it with her gun and...


BOOOOOOM!!









Ouch. The two intact soldiers closest to the blast are only disrupted.


Hey, at least he went out with a smile!

Redcoats - Cracjaw


The hero rides forward and fires on the Dread Pirate Roberts.


And due to a disparity of 1 point, the Dread Pirate Roberts fails his armor roll and is slain, again.


Meanwhile, redcoats advance and fire on the remaining skellies.


Both go down.


This sailor climbs into the castle and fires on the last skeleton!


And just like that, the Undead Pirates are Eliminated!


And finally, all the redcoats advance.

Bluecoats - Bragallot


The two disrupted soldiers pick themselves up.


And then everyone advances, with the hero killing the musket-wielding pirate after both soldiers failed to.


Faction Stats:


Pirates:
Hero HP: 1/3
KIA: 8
Kills: 14

Bluecoats:
Hero HP: 1/3
KIA: 5
Kills: 2

Redcoats:
Hero HP: 1/3
KIA: 4
Kills: 8 + The Dread Pirate Roberts

Undead Pirates: ELIMINATED
Hero HP: 0/3 DEAD
KIA: 9
Kills: 5 + a castle tower

So, since the pirates were extremely close to completing their objective and one of the other teams would need to go first in order to stop them, I rolled a d20 to determine the next turn order and this is what I rolled:

Pirates: 12
Redcoats: 9
Bluecoats: 5

[Joshua]

The Final Turn!

Pirates - Scratch


The three remaining pirates climb down to their boats.


And after setting fire to one,


They set sail with both chests!


Victory!



Redcoat Hero: "Damn! They got away!"

Bluecoat Hero: "We'll get you eventually, Scurlock! Mark my words!"

The Survivors:





Final Overwatch:

Thank you all for playing! I hope this was as fun for you as it was for me!

Unless I'm wrong, this battle makes history as the first forum battle using solely 18th-century style troops.

[Mr. President]

Bones to bones, dust to dust. Ah well! Thanks everyone!

Unless I'm wrong, this battle makes history as the first forum battle using solely 18th-century style troops.

First of (at least) several, I'm guessing!

[Joshua]

First of (at least) several, I'm guessing!

Actually, I'm afraid not. Maybe in the not-too-soon future, but my next battle is going to be a bit more sci-fi, then I'll probably continue the medieval storyline.

[Cracjaw]

A good battle as always my friends. I assume my dear did not work? Or perhaps it was too mindbending to deal with a time traveling law suit? Anyways, I’m glad I at least survived. Thank you for hosting Joshua, i look forward to the next battle!!

[Joshua]

I assume my dear did not work?

Correct, it didn't work. And since nothing changed game-wise, I forgot about it while posting the turn. Sorry!

Thank you for hosting Joshua, i look forward to the next battle!!

You are welcome! It's my pleasure.

I like how the Redcoats conveniently forgot that I was shooting at them. I wanted to run to the back of the pirate base from the start, but I was disoriented from the start, lmao. That explosion was beautiful, even though it was my men on the receiving end.

I thought about having them continue to fight after the pirates escaped, but eh, it wasn't necessary.

Thanks! I model mine after the great master of explosions, Warhead.
