Special Rules: Heavy Pistol (+2C, MR, HtH -2) An unexplored part of the ruins has been found by a scout from the Milton Hole Warband. They return to loot the piles of rubble, but the scout has advised them that the piles of rubble are also home to mutated telepathic termites that burrow under the skin using telepathic powers then seek to kill by killing the brain. Should be a laugh then?! Unfortunately for the Milton Hole mob, the Atlas boys have also discovered the ruins and arrive at the same time to loot it. Both gangs spilt to cover a wider area before the meet the enemy. Pittbull from Milton Hole reaches the first rubble pile. The Milton Hole leader – Zoltan Pepper reaches a rubble pile and searches it, uncovering a poison antidote. Meanwhile Pittbull checks his rubble pile and gets covered by the termites. Not to be put off he runs on towards the next rubble pile. Another Miltonian Roy, reaches a rubble pile and checks it, also getting termites. The Atlas boys continue to spread out. Joey Atlas searches a pile but finds nothing. Herc Atlas fires his Assault Rifle at Dark Night, missing him. Conan Atlas also finds a rubble pile and searches it. Again it turns up nothing. However the Atlas Boys luck starts to change when Sam Atlas finds an Assault Rifle and a clip in a rubble pile. Zoltan spots Wassac Atlas and let’s rip with both his heavy pistols. Sadly for the hero he misses. Pittbull moves forward and spots Conan. The mutants Assault Rifle barks and Conan drops wounded. First Blood to Milton Hole! For Milton Hole Phil Mepockets loots a rubble pile and finds a force field. Meanwhile Dark Night shoots at Herc Atlas forcing the meat head to fall over. Zoltan fires again at Wassac but only gains near misses. Joey Atlas moves to cover Wassac and blasts Zoltan with his shotgun. The blast knocks Zoltan over. Herc returns fire at Dark Night but finds his assault rifle jams. He spends the rest of the turn reloading. Wassac moves on the prone Zoltan and fires his assault rifle at him causing a gruesome kill. Blood and brains fly everywhere. Milton’s Bog is standing near by and flees in horror at seeing his shiny hero turned to red mush. At the loss of their leader many of the Milton Hole warband pull back. The second in line Pittbull panics and flees the battle, leaving possible command to the mutant Jenny Bluskin. Shame she is retreating. In fact only Gaunt, Visor and Drak from Milton Hole keep it together enough to keep the mission on track. Gaunt moves a flank behind Joey Atlas and fires on him, missing. Visor rushes forward to hold the middle ground. Meanwhile Drak loots another rubble pile and gets a dose of the termites. These kill him outright. Poor old Drak. Joey Altas turns on Gaunt and fires knocking Gaunt over. Joey’s second blast kills Gaunt outright. Meanwhile Herc decides upon the ungentlemanly action of shooting a fleeing Miltonian in the back. Luckily for the Miltonian the assault rifle sparked and the blot flew out of the casing. Whoops, no more gun for Herc! Wassac fires on the fleeing Roy killing him and Sam Atlas kills Visor. It looks like the battle is going in the Atlas Boys favour. Or is it? Ubank Atlas loots a rubble pile to find termites. Luckily they don’t kill him outright. Skull from Milton Hole flees the table. Miltonian Swing recovers and loots a nearby rubble pile finding more poison antidote. Joey Atlas loots a pile and finds an Assault Rifle and clip. Phil Mepockets recovers and returns to the battle. Wassac spots him and shoots him dead. Should have kept running mutant! D’blade Atlas shoots Swing knocking him over. Swing attempts to attack D’blade whilst prone and gets his throat cut for his efforts. Herc Atlas searches a rubble pile fining some Anti Rad! That will be useful. As most of the Miltonians are in retreat most of the Atlas Boys set to searching the rubble piles. Ubank Atlas screams and falls to the ground, the termites boring into his brain. Nasty. Jenny Bluskin reaches the edge of the battlefield and recovers. She turns to return to support Dark Night, the only other Miltonian left on the field. Wassac moves forwards to get into range of Bluskin. She also moves forward and initiates her mutant power, a telepathic mind scream. It does not affect Wassac. Looks like Jenny might be in trouble. Dark Night fires on Wassac in an attempt to save Bluskin but misses. Oh great. Wassac fires on Bluskin, knocking her over. Herc moves forward and attacks Dark Night but the mutant wins knocking him over. Ubank and Sam search piles and both get termites. Sam dies immediately screaming in pain. Joey Atlas approaches the remaining mutants. The prone Bluskin gives off another mind scream causing confusion in both Joey and Wassac. But the confusion isn’t enough to stop the Atlas Boys leader. He fires on the prone mutant missing her. He then rushes forward to engage her in combat. Big men these guys. Bluskin is no fool and swipes the legs from under the meathead leader. Herc leaps onto Dark Night and loses close combat, the mutant forcing him back. Wassac reaches for his Assault rifle and takes aim at the prone Bluskin when Boiiinnnngggg! His assault rifle falls apart. Boys you should take better care of your weapons! Gus Atlas finds a bow in some rubble. Score! Meanwhile Dark Night knocks Herc over and blasts him short range causing a gruesome kill. At the same time Bluskin gives off another mind scream further confusing Joey and Wassac. Add to that the flying blood and brains the boys had enough and fled the table. D’Blade moves forward and Bluskin leaps up and attacks him, and breaks his neck with a single blow. Gus is the only Atlas left alive, decides to join his boss and legs it. The mutants uncovered 2 poison antidotes, 2 assault rifles with clips, a bow and a dose of antirad. Add to that the equipment from the fallen mutants and meatheads it’s not a bad haul. Bluskin is off to get made mutant leader and to see if anyone will give her a gun.

It plays okay but it really is a quick afternoon game. Heros dont last long, weapon ranges are way to short and constant activation rolls for every mini gets annoying. Whilst its part of the fun and adds to the tension sometimes it feels like too much work.

Loved the names too... Phil Mepockets and the Atlas Band, surprised there wasn't a Charlie Atlas. My favorite has to have been Zoltan Pepper! The only name I have remembered on short notice is a paper soldier I have given the name of "Private Parts"
