A Brave New World
How it went when visiting Checkpoint 57
We finally played the next instalment in our little Fallout Wasteland Warfare campaign. (I am sure that there will be a video of some sort added at some point to the end of this post in the near future)
Pre battle briefing
You’ve heard news of an old Military Checkpoint not too far away.
Many such places exist throughout the wasteland as a testament to the war that ravaged the landscape as the bombs fell.
That was years ago now and most such places lie stripped bare and abandoned or home to marauding Raiders or worse, their once full armouries a mere shadow of their former selves.
Checkpoint 57 however is known to be fiercely guarded by grumpy old Corporal Hudson and is set just near some dense woodland known locally as Yao Guai Forrest, due to the mutated bears that prowl at the undergrowth.
Hudson must be still guarding it for a reason.
Your informant also tells you a tale of 3 brothers who went to the outpost to ‘relieve’ Hudson of some of his wares.
Those brothers have never been seen since, so the lord only knows what happened to them.
Was it the Yao Guai, or did they meet an even worse fate?
As the afternoon sun starts its slow descent the cold concrete shape of checkpoint 57 comes into view, maybe now the mystery of the 3 brothers will be solved and some military hardware added to the settlement’s arsenal.
For the most part, the game revolved around our characters doing their best to run away from the Sentry Bot ‘Hudson’ who in turn tried its best to blow us up with missiles.
It was a fun game, although not as combat focused as the others. It was nice to take the opportunity to model up some more terrain for my growing collection.
