Raid on Georges Haven

After Action Report - Raid on Georges Haven.

My Lord, I beg you to find herein my report of the action taking place on the morning of 10 July 1678 AD between His Majesty's forces and brigand raiders led by the notorious Beatrice Blood.

n the early morning a fog bank had concealed the movement of the brigand force. They loaded their long boat with a shore party and it would appear that the vile Ms. Blood, remained on her ship the Penelope.

The Colonial militia were called out to the ring of the bells of the Church and moved quickly to intercept the landing party.

I beat to quarters and recalled the crew of the HMS Decisive and prepared to hoist sail.

The Penelope's cannon battery was masked by the long boat, so she moved slowly along the coast looking to bring the Colonial cannon battery under fire.

Fate lent a hand to the Colonial officer and his cannon opened fire on Penelope before she could fire. The audacious shot was spot on and decimated the Penelope killing 4 of her crew outright as well the shot stove in a good part of the starboard beam in the vicinity of the after gun down to the water line. 

Leaking badly Penelope's remaining crew set to in an effort to repair the leaking ship, but failed as water began to overcome the tired and wounded crew.

Ashore the landing party charged into a unit of Colonial Militia. Weak fire felled a single brigade and the rest charged home and destroyed the militiamen.

The crew of Penelope returned fire with their remaining cannon and in this matter luck turned against us and the Colonial cannon crew was destroyed.

I was navigating the Decisive through the narrows and would be ready to engage Penelope or the shore party in a few moments. With most of our sails rigged we were making good speed and with all cannon loaded and ready for action.

However, it seems that fate would not allow me the opportunity to cross blades with the infamous Ms. Blood. Her vessel slid under the waves due to the failed efforts of her crew to stop the flooding.

The Colonial militia Commander opened fire and in a show piece of shooting destroyed one of the brigand units. Alas, the remaining brigands fired a last volley killing the brave commander and his remaining soldiers.

My ship cut off any opportunity for escape and so the brigands surrendered to my Bosns Mate and a small party of sailors.

They will be hanged tomorrow once we have the gallows built.

Your's Aye,
J.B.L Perks Cdr
Captain HMS Decisive

INEPTT Horror - Hunt for the Vampire

Well, I have been tooling away at my World War One Skirmish Rules as well as INEPTT Horror.
So here is an AAR for the Hunt for the Vampire from the in the works INEPTT Horror supplement.

Our Intrepid adventures were trying to figure out where the evil was coming from and what it might be so they could be better prepared to deal with the threat.

They went into town and had to question the town folks. They needed to gain six pieces of information so they could carry out their task of slaying the evil creature in the area. It wasn't as smooth as they had hope, and it ended up taking longer, to the point where the sun was going to set in just six turns after they got the information. Not only that, but one of the two occult experts actually got in a fight with a town person. Luckily they knocked them out and carried on.

The town folks revealed that the castle ruin seemed to be the source. So our band decide to come at the ruin in three teams of two.

Spotting some Gypsies they opened fire. A prolonged fire fight and a final melee was fought. Over four turns the expedition lost one Occult expert but killed six Gypsies, including their Headman, a fellow known as Stephano. The final two Gypsies fled in terror.

This gave our band only 2 full turns before Darkness, and with it an over powering advantage to what ever evil lay within.

They made it to the ruin dungeon and found a Vampire waiting there.

The Slayer attacked immediately and did some horrific damage to the creature, but it in turn went back at our band and slew the protector! The remaining Occult expert achieved a wound, but the Doctor missed.

Darkness fell, but in a stroke of luck the Slayer got the initiative on the creature and got a rear attack on it! He drove his stake through its heart ending its undead life, or unlife or whatever it is Vampires are!
