Cold Wars 2019 - The Mine on Lipton-9

To All,

I played in an awesome spectacle put on by 'award-winning GM' Mike Lung at Cold Wars; The Mine on Lipton-9.

Eric Goodlander getting ready
to screw someone over...

The scenario starts with the Galacteers, the Valkeeri, and the Moles setting up a mining colony on the yellow planet. The space orcs are moving in looking to scavenge anything useful. A ship lands next to the wreckage in the middle of the board - The Robot Legion has arrived. Haters of anything organic they are on the planet to find a deadly virus and secure a nuke!

Readers of this Blog will recognize Bill G (guy in yellow
 shirt) trying to get Scott Lung to do his bidding. 

In the middle of the blue forest a group of Radon Zombies from the Ionosphere, along with their queen, have crash landed. In the wreckage the zombies are hiding a container of the "zombie virus" and, lo and behold, a couple of nukes. The Space Mice have set up a fort and are looking to capture a few Frigonians to eat on their long journey back to their home-world.

Andrew Goodlander, commanding the Frigonians, looks
 for something living to sacrifice. 

The native beings, the Frigonians, man the walls and get ready to defend their village. Sensing that their planet was about to host an all out war, they send out raiding parties to try to capture a "sacrifice" to their Cheese God. Once a sacrifice is made, the god will walk the planet ridding it of the invaders.

The Mine on Lipton-9.

 A break in the action as Mike Lung wins a Pour Encourager Les Autres, or PELA, Award. A Well deserved award for a guy who excels at all aspects of the hobby - Mike can sculpt, paint, and run a terrific game. Of course, from now on we will have to refer to him as "award winning GM," Mike Lung.

In the bottom right hand corner you can see
 the humans out of the fort.

The Moles, already planning an insurrection against the humans and their oppression, see the chaos as the time to rise up. They forced the humans out of their fort with an all out assault. The Galacteers and the Valkeeri see the unguarded Robot Legion ship and make a break for it. 

Above the virus is canister is opened....

But Bill G and the Radon Zombies open the zombie virus in the ship, turning the humans into zombies. (poor Robert!)

The Grymm moving up behind the mice.

Meanwhile, everything - zombies, moles, Grymm, worms - open up on the robot legion. The last functional robots abandon their ship and try to get to the minibot's ship.

The mice are making their move.

Meanwhile the mice, after ridding themselves of the minibots, start to head towards the Frigonian village for a snack.

Mike Lung and Bret Hunt focused on the action.

But soon realize that the Frigonians have sacrificed one of the orcs to their god, thus making him come to life. The destruction was on! All invaders made their way off planet.

Great scenario, awesome GM, terrific looking table, and a well run game put on by award winning GM, Mike Lung!

I put these two pictures in to show Eric "Crazy Legs" Jacobson is always in Jazz Hands mode when a picture is imminent. 

Full Jazz hands in this shot. (I don't think Robert was into it)
