Fallout tutorial
My plan to get the wife to play games fell short during lockdown as she was still working while I spent my time painting minis for a year. However this weekend we had a go at the first tutorial scenario for fallout wasteland warfare. I asked her what she knows about fallout. "it's after a nuclear war and it's all 50s" was the reply 
Carol took control of three survivor's attempting to rescue dogmeat from three super mutants. She got a bit freaked out by the complicated looking dice. I had to scratch my head and try and remember the rules.
Two settlers pop a few shots at a supermutant guarding dogmeat. The vault dweller sneaks around the flank. Meanwhile two mutants head off to check their snares. To win they have to check four snares.
This first tutorial is all about the combat mechanics. This game can get very complicated very quickly so the tutorials are very important to take it one step at a time.
My mutant guarding dogmeat is peppered with shots and is not very skilled in shooting back. In fact missed everyone. After checking a snare my hammer armed mutant charges in to help with som close combat and like an idiot swings over the humans head and fails to hurt anyone
The human than broke away from combat with out getting hit and fires once more at the centre mutant who finally goes down.
The third mutant after checking his snare moves back to dogmeat but is shot down by the vault dweller hiding behind the trash can
Being the only mutant left our hammer man runs to the last snare in an attempt to complete the scenario and ignoring the humans who are clear to free dogmeat. The dig joins the group and chases down the last mutant and brings him down. A total victory for the humans.
After a couple of rounds of confusion over strange dice covered in things that aren't numbers carol began to get the hang of it. She liked the scenery and we set the scene by playing fallout music. Carol has always been put off my large mini games so liked the small figure count of this game. I no she doesn't look it but she was happy she won
