Gaslands Championship Round One (part two)

"Welcome back folks. During the break Koda Shimzu took a turn slightly to wide and clipped a tree"

"This caused him to lose control and wipe out! He manages not to flip but strikes a wall really crunching his car"

Smash!!! 

"Here comes Bison Thunder but he's lost it and gone in a slide! These drivers are all over the place!"

Bison Thunder gets acquainted with the trees

Mizyaki and Rutherford  head into the lead

"Bison Thunder must be fuming after his meeting with the trees. It cost him two places. Look Nitro he's racing after the ahead cars"
"He sure is Troy, his buggy is not the most offensively capable vehicle  He only has an oil slick dropper. Oh and his trusty hand gun. Which I think he is about to fire. He must be desperate"
"He's firing. No way he has done it that last shot destroyed Koda Shimzu's tyre and the car is wrecked!!"

Handgun shot takes out the Miyazaki car

"Here's Cpl West again crashing I to the rear of Bison Thunder"

Crash!! 

"This race has really taken it out of all the vehicles now pretty much all are showing signs of damage but all are throwing it to the wind to get ahead and win this race."

"Sami Archin desperate to catch up the leaders strikes trees taking a turn to fast."

"Billy Maggot barges his way through trying to grab second place"

"Troy you gotta appreciate the tenacity of those Thrasher boys. I honestly thought the performance cars would be all over this race but the other teams have really laid on a hurting  "

"That's right Nitro. They have not had a good race at all  I mean look at Johnny Waste he is having a terrible race. His Mustang is badly damaged and he is pushing it so hard. Oh no he's lost it again! “

Johnny Waste slides into rough grass

" Troy look I think Bison Thunder is making a move for the lead! He sneaks in front and  ha ha ha cheeky git he's dropped his oil slick!!!!!"

Oil slick deployed! 

"Sami Archin is coming up behind Cpl West and using that mini gun. He gets some good hits but the Cpl is still running"

Sami Archin shoots at Cpl West

"Cpl West ignoring the bullets hitting the rear and he is focused on Bison Thunder in the lead. There go some grenades it looks like. They explode around Bisons buggy and  he's gone!!"

Bison Thunder is out of the race! 

"Most of the racers are pushing on Nitro though I'm not sure what Sgt Greenward is up to "

The racers wind trough the carnage

Sgt Greenward a good way behind 

"Troy everyone is pushing hard now to catch and we have had a crazy race these drivers have to be on the edge. There goes Sami Archin he's lost it on the corner smashing against the rocks. How their cars are running I don't know "

Sami again loses it on a corner

"Nitro, Johnny Waste is pushing up but oh!!! He's wiped out and then boom! Billy  Maggot slams into him!

Billy Magnet absolutely slams into Johnny Waste

It's all over for Johnny Waste 

" The remaining racers push on, still half of the track to go"

The straight gives the drivers opportunity to floor it

"Cpl West has nothing but clear road ahead and he puts his foot down"

"Troy I think everyone else now has to either settle for what they have or go for it balls to the wall."

"and Sami Archin is going for it!! He swerves round some trees and..... He's out of control. He's slid up on the hills and flips !!"

Sami Archin goes up the hill side

And flips over. Race over for Sami

"With Sami Archin going out all serious competition to Cpl West is over and he passes the finish line for the win !! Billy Maggot gets second and Sgt Greenward gets third. What a crazy race"

"Yes Troy that bridge at the start really did a number on several vehicles!"

"Right fold that's out for tonights broadcast. Well leave you with the championship table. Which currently Cpl West is at the top  Good night all!!!"

That was a great game. Chaotic with the bridge at the start there were so many crashes to sort out !!  The reason for so many slides was just utter terrible skid dice rolls for all teams. We struggled to change gear with how bad the rolls were. We had a great night yes we most certainly forgot a good few rules but we had an awesome time playing Gaslands.

Gaslands Championship Round One

"Good evening folks I'm Troy Donovan and welcome to the Earth area designated as B67. We at Mars Channel 5 are excited to bring you the very first Golden Turbo B67 Championship!!! Brought to you by our good friends at Red Hive Industries.   Four   Teams  will battle it out for the Golden Turbo Team Cup and the drivers are all battling for the top prize in the Golden Turbo B67 Championship. A ticket to Mars!!! Yes that's right folks the champion will win passage for them self and their team mates to our beautiful planet and off that wasteland Earth. Now we don't let any riff raff onto Mars so these guys have got to earn it over a series of races. There'll be speed, there'll be carnage, there'll be action and there'll most definatly be blood!!!!!!  With me to watch the season unfold is former driver superstar Jim 'Nitro' Jacobs. Welcome Jim,  I hope you are excited as me for the upcoming races? "

" Good evening Troy, hell yes I'm excited for the Championship! The roar of the engines the chatter of machine gun fire almost makes me want to go back! These drivers will be putting it all on the line for you lucky viewers at home. We have some cracking races in store"

"That's correct Jim. Tonight sees the season start of with a Death Race. Nice and simple blast through the gates first to cross the finish line wins! Now we managed to locate a lovely patch of forest on earth. Amazing I know viewers but Red Hive Industries and the folks here at Mars Channel 5 are ready to pull out the best for our loyal fans. So so you know what we did? We bought that patch of land and turned it into a race track just for you guys!"

" Excellent Troy best use for Earth land is racing. Isn't that right viewer's!!!! I'm so pumped Troy!! "

" We can tell Nitro. Let's meet our teams!
First up is Waste Racing sponsored by Idris so Nitro I know you'll be rooting for this team won't you?"

"Troy you know it! I'm all about speed just go fast and then faster. Johnny Waste a 3 year racing veteran and behind the wheel of that Mustang he is a force but don't write off his racing buddies Gideon Turbo and Bison Thunder. They are new, hungry and ready for carnage! "

Waste Racing (Idris)

" That's true Nitro. Plenty of newbies entering the championship. Our next team Midnight Club have travelled a long way to join us. Sponsored by Miyazaki the drivers Koda Shimzu and Sami Archin are ready to deliver a driving display but will the other teams let them deliver. They are looking forward to the death race but what about the other events? There cars look a little fragile, what do you think Nitro? "

Midnight Club (Miyazaki) 

" Your right Troy, I appreciate their speed but they need to be prepared for a fight if they want to hold their own because some Gaslanders are just straight crazy "

" I assume you are taking about our next team Thrasher? Well these boys certainly are certainly......... Out going and enthusiastic "

" Troy those boys are bat *beep* crazy! "

" Nitro! You can't say that on live TV. "

" What crazy? OK sorry. Anyway Max 'Shiny'  Fender and Billy Maggot are aggressive and fearless. They may not be up at the front but they will be blasting away from the back! "

Thrasher (Slime  

" Next up is possibly the most disciplined team we have. Sponsored by Rutherford we have the Volunteers. Sgt Grant Greenward and Cpl Williard West are bringing the heavies to this race and they take it so seriously we are not allowed to see the vehicles before the race! (I forgot to take a picture of them)"

"Don't forget explosives Troy, I've been on the wrong end of those Rutherford folks. I tell you they do not like you pis... Erm urinating in their fuel tanks!"

"Nitro! Ha ha ha folks that must show  much these drivers want to get to Mars. Right let's get down to business folks. In hearing the drivers are almost ready. Here is the drone camera view of the Racetrack for you today brought to you by Red Planet Dew"

"Troy that bridge looks to have the potential to cause utter chaos and those trees man they just get in the way."

"That's the idea Nitro! Right get comfy folks it's race time. Let's go live to earth and hit the road!!!!" 

"Nitro There goes the green light and it is go go go!!!!"

"Woo!!!! Let's do this!!"

A crazy start sees the first 2 vehicles to pull away slide out of control 

Koda Shimzu ploughs through! 

"Those spun vehicles are causing carnage Nitro " 

"Hell yeah Troy! Already we have seen plenty of smashes and we only just started!" 

"All the vehicles are at least pointing the right way now! "

"Koda Shimzu takes the lead  but strikes the edge of the bridge as he drives across it! Lovely move there Nitro" 

"Yes sir just misjudged it a little but that'll polish out!!" 

"Sgt Greenward clips the bridge wall also but makes it onto the bridge"

"Two vehicles have clipped that bridge now Nitro. You know so know people said we should have made it wider  Where is the challenge in that!"
"Troy look! !  Cpl West has decided to ignore the bridge completely !! Thats a bold move"

"but look Nitro he's lost it and slid out of control !"

The Humvee loses control and slides

"Seeing the Cpl lose control everyone else had for the bridge entrance"

Absolute carnage ensures!

"Yes Troy! Look at them smash into each other to get over the bridge."

"Yes Nitro, the first racers are over the bridge and have their weapons activated!"

Gideon Turbo narrowly avoids Koda

More racers arrive

"Troy this is interesting most of the cars have sustained damage early on from the carnage on the bridge. This will not help the lighter buggies further on in the race."

"True, oooh Max 'shiny' Fender is after Gideon Turbo and lights him up with machine gun fire"

And Boom!!!!!! 

"Woah look at Gideons buggy stitched with gunfire and hes wrecked! Waste racing are one car down Nitro"
"Beautiful Troy he lined him up and the gunner aimed perfectly. All the other cars are pushing up now. Oh no Max Fender has pushed his luck probably still cheering the wrecked buggy he's gone and lost Control!"

Needing to change gears Max pushed his luck and the dice were cruel

" Max has lost Control and left the race area he is disqualified! !!, What a stupid way to lose out. A rookies mistake Nitro?"
" yep definatly Troy. To busy celebrating his kill and not watching his driving."
"He'll learn from that. Right folks we'll be right back after these imports t messages from Red Hove Industries .."

Update!

It's been a while I know. I have been up to stuff and not just skiving.
I borrowed a rule book called Broken Legions. It's  set in the Roman era with bands of fighters fighting Each other and mythical creatures.

After a read through decided I wanted the Sons of Sparticus warband. This is made up of Gladiators.  I found my leader miniature from Crusader Miniatures.

He has 2 gladius's so should be awesome in a scrap.  I have a rough war band planned out just buying the miniatures when I can. Though I also have just bought Assassins Creed Odyssey so I quite fancy getting an Argonaut War band also!

I'm busy planning another scenario for our konflikt 47 narrative campaign. This one involved Lange doing a dangerous experiment and requires a terrain piece made. I've got the piece of polystyrene .

I hope to add LEDs  to it!!! This will be a big step for me. Also need to get painting some miniatures for the scenario also.
I'll keep you updated but I don't wanna ruin the surprise for my opponent.
