Brian and I played a game of Pulp City last night. I brought in my board I’m building for Gen Con and some buildings. I still need to paint those as well. We decided to play alevel 5 game, which is what we usually play anyway. We also decided not to use any Agendas as we hadn’t played in a few weeks and sometimes you just want your beatstick to inflict some pain without any real goal.
I made sure to bring all my stuff with me this time so Brian could play Six Feet Under as he requested. I went with the ARC guys, which were all new to me.
Brian’s Team:
- Six Feet Under (Pulse Emitter & Pulp City Cops)
- Red Riding Hoodoo (Zombie Wolf)
- Ace of Wraiths (Hellstromm & Hangman)
My Team:
- Virus (The Glove)
- Apebot
- Guerrilla (Tracker & Ammo Feed)
The board I built is only 2′ x 2′, so we deployed with the bases of our models touching the edge. Of course, with Red Riding Hoodoo’s Mind stat being so high, Brian won most of the Starting Rolls.
I just moved Apebot up behind a car in preperation for throwing it and Virus moved up to the left of the car. Guerrilla moved along the right edge of the board advancing toward Ace. Brian had Ace move up as well as 6FU and everything else. I realized that I really would have liked to have Virus closer to Apebot since his Fix action to increase Apebot’s AP is only a RNG 1. Apebot decided to just throw the car anyway. Unfortunately, due to distance, he couldn’t hit 6FU with it, so he targeted the squishy Red Riding Hoodoo. Ace moved closer to Guerrilla and did Soul Shot doing some damage. Guerrilla returned the favor with some repeated Dakka Boom, which finally killed Ace later in the game. 6FU moved in on Apebot and dropped the Pulse Emitter, doing damage to Apebot and keeping him from doing anything. 6FU then proceeded to pummel Apebot and Apebot couldn’t retaliate due to an AP of 1 and 6FU’s Reach 1. Virus healed Apebot and then later got attacked and killed by 6FU. Apebot was then taken out by 6FU. After having killed Ace, Guerrilla moved in on 6FU and finished him off with his favorite action, Dakka Boom. It all came down to Red Riding Hoodoo, the Zombie Wolf, a couple of Cops and Guerrilla. The Zombie Wolf and Red Riding Hoodoo got Guerrilla down to one damage left, and in a last-ditch effort, he dropped a car on Hoodoo’s head, finishing the game.
Man, the more I play this game, the more I love it. Next time around, though, we’re using Agendas and Citizens. I think Brian’s Cops would have been a bigger influence had we done that last night.
