Well it was only a matter of time before our group entered the realms of gaming with superheroes. After all that befits the titans we are (snigger snigger).
With the help and encouragement of our newest member Bucko we have entered the slippery slide of:
The Caped Crusader and Robin alight from the bat mobile.
Bat Girl looks on.
Jim Gordon and a Cop SWAT Team
The Dynamic Duo’s Dastardly adversaries, the Joker, Hyenas’, Thugs and Harley.
More opponents – Catwoman, Freddie da Fence, and some thugs.
Batman seizes the Bat Signal objective using his bat claw to swing on top of the building.
Robin leaps from one building to another with his batclaws and throws his batarangs at catwoman but holy gaucamole he misses.
Jim Gordon takes on a thug and injures him.
With a thug about to take a Joker laughing gas cannister objective – KAPOWIE – Batman unleashes a torrent of batarangs to take him down.
Yep Bucko finally has some competition with David S trying to use the massive fire power of Batman. Yep ones really are misses!!!
Dave K AKA The Joker decides to use his exploding henchman rule to try and take out a Cop and Jim Gordon but instead just hands the Caped Crusaders 4 victory points at the cost of a Cop and some wounds on Jim.
The politically incorrect batman does not succomb to Harley’s womanly charms rule and just takes her out for trying to steal the Bat mobile.
The last of the Hyenas goes down in a screaming POW!!!
A last ditch effort by the Joker to try and win the game by stealing the Bat Mobile almost succeeds as Batman is rendered unconscious by Jokers hand buzzer. For heavens sake where are your super heroes when you really need them!! Fortunately Boy Wonder lived up to his name and presses the remote braking mechanism to leave the Joker in a car with nowhere to go.
Bat Girl prevents Cat Woman from stealing the loot from the safe and giving it to Freddie da Fence ensuring the forces of good win out.
This is a surprisingly fun game with lots of hoots as you cannot help but emerse yourself as if you are in the middle of a 60’s TV show.
Click here for Batman Miniatures Game Draft Rules v2 which at the moment are still a work in progress.
Looks interesting. A causal read of the rules leads me to your first mistake, you’ve got to put movement and ranges in inches – the standard units of measure for every miniatures game!
Who the hell uses Imperial measurements for anything these days?
