Highlights from Last Session
Okay, So I Lied ...
Well … I was wrong. Last night’s session was NOT the end of the “Desert Eagles” plot line for HK Ops.
This story is turning out to be more complex and intricate than initially planned, the battles are more visceral, and the enemy is putting up a tougher fight in some places. Long story short (take a shot), at the end of last night’s session were weren’t even close to the end of this campaign.
So it looks like we’re up for a THIRD session – the FINAL CONCLUSION (I promise this time) in what’s turned out to be an epic trilogy!
Part III is currently scheduled for Sunday March 22.
Meanwhile, Part II is up on our YouTube channel. 😀 Check out some of it below!
I’m glad it lasted through to another session. I love that we don’t feel rushed and get to do everything our characters would naturally want to do in those situations.

SAW (M249) blazing away mostly out in the open and gunning down the combatants that were getting the drop on Taaki’s partially disabled vehicle. One of my associates looked at me and said:… Read more »
Oh my God, a miniatures diorama!?! That sounds awesome! That bail out was indeed an awesome scene! 😀 So everyone, @templar007 is driving one of the vehicles, the M1044 HMMWV with the .50 cal in the roof mount. He forsakes his first whole turn of that firefight as he takes his vehicle “around the map” and enters from a different direction, pretty much erupting in the middle of a fireteam of SAA regulars. He RUNS OVER two of them, while @brunhudson is on the roof .50 and @ashcadelanne is riding shotgun with the 7.62mm assault rifle. There’s a hell of… Read more »
I won’t spoil too much by saying that the bullets where getting a little too close to Sirius’s back side when the 23mm opened up, but he did pay them back in kind.
As a sniper I almost feel I should jump out the truck 500m before the map and then just go in support mode on overwatch …
