Batman is this a Joke

It had been a while since we had played a game of Batman. On one side we had the Joker and his daughter and two thugs with shotguns and two other thugs. Harlequin, Big Tony and Bud and Lou, the hyenas, were in their support.

Opposing them were Batman, Boy Wonder, Cat woman, Comissioner Gordon, Detective Bullock and three Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) patrol officers.

The figures are all Heroclix models with their base removed. They have not been repainted as I wanted that 1966 TV version smash, bam, wam, camp look.

Turn one began with Batman taking an objective and the lead 2 to 0.

Turn 2 saw the demise of Harlequin, and Bullock with both side having an objective. Team Batman were leading 9 to 5.

Joker, his daughter, and a couple of thugs eye of the “black and white”.

Turn three saw all things tied up at 14 points with Cat woman and Robin and  a Joker thug down.

Holy Boy Wonder could it become more Cat-as-trophic as the Joker with his daughter move into to support the Penguin thugs taking out both the Bat Boy and Cat Woman.

Turn 4 saw team Batman surge ahead 22 point to 16 with 2 thugs down to nothing.

Down goes Big Tony as a Penguin Thug charges in to attack GCPD patrol officer.

The crucial point in the game where Commissioner Gordon moves forward. Only to be hit by exploding confetti and then zapped by Jokers hand buzzer. Taking down Gordon was all the Penguin team needed to win the game by the smallest of margins 31 points to 30.

Paranormal Investigators

Although I have been a bit quiet of late there has been much gaming, rules writing, and painting. I will share a number of the completed and not so completed over the next few weeks. This will be the year of completing all of those projects (yeah right!).

I finally got these guys ready for action. The figures and the vehicle are all from “crooked dice” and have been in the collection for a long time awaiting completion.

You will see these soon on the table when I have organised the rules, and how to represent being “gooed” and the plasma stream attacks – any ideas. In the meantime enjoy the eye candy.

I couldn’t resist a shot of them having a feed of marshmallow.
