HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (Star Wars by Grenadier Models)
Le week-end dernier nous avons fêté l'anniversaire (40 ans !) d'un vieux vieux copain. Pour l'occasion je lui ai offert deux figurines Star Wars de marque Grenadier Models. Ce sont les figurines avec lesquelles nous jouions il y a vingt ans (la peinture est d'époque, seul le socle est contemporain).
Tempus Fugit.

A free campaign for 5150:SA
Comme j'aime beaucoup 5150:SA j'ai écrit (avec l'aide de Bob Minadeo et le soutien actif d'Ed Teixeira) une petite campagne mettant aux prises des compagnies de mercenaires (free companies). Elle est téléchargeable sur mon blog et sur le Yahoo Group de THW.
As I like very much 5150:SA I wrote (with Bod Minadeo's help and Ed Teixeira's strong support) a small campaign pitting mercenary companies (free companies). It can be downloaded from my blog and on the THW Yahoo Group.
Vous pouvez utiliser mes aides de jeu pour 5150:SA avec cette campagne.

LUCENTUM, a 5150:SA campaign
Une race de clones (comme les Hishen), les Kravak (Hishen QRS, HB, Vicious) lance fréquemment des raids pirates sur une région encore peu contrôlée de l’espace (le Fourth Ring). Cette région sans lois est pleine d’opportunités pour les corporations désireuses de faire des profits rapides par l’exploitation sans retenue de planètes isolées.
C’est le cas de la planète Lucentum. exploitée par le Nordstrom Combinat. Le conseil d’administration du Combinat a fait appel aux Helljumpers (QRS et équipement Star Army)pour sécuriser la planète où les Kravak semblent s’installer (contrairement à leur habitude).
A clone race (such as Hishen), the Kravak, launches frequent pirate raids on an uncontrolled area of space (the Fourth Ring). This lawless area is full of opportunities for corporations wishing to make quick profits by the unbridled exploitation of remote planets.
This is the case of planet Lucentum colonized by Nordstrom Combinat. The board of directors of the company called a free company, the Helljumpers (Star Army QRS and equipment), to secure the planet where Kravak seem to settle (wich is unusual).

Les soldats avancent vers les rochers. Un nouveau PEF (n°4) apparaît (en zone 4) et se révèle être un squad de Kravak. L’échange de tir fait un OOF chez les Helljumper et 3 OOF/OD pour les Kravak (tir de lance grenade) qui se mettent à couvert (Duck Back).
