The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Grimsaw and Maibala were not happy to be ordered back into the jungle. They had been the only ones to return alive from the last foray. Nerves were frayed.
Their confidence was bolstered somewhat by having veteran jungle fighter Sala assigned to the mission.
Shadows and fog engulfed the team from the outset. Sala slid his blade from its sheath as the fog closed in. It comforted him. Grimsaw received a hailstorm of rifle fire as he emerged from the fog.


The team closed ranks and forced the enemy to hunker down.


Grimsaw’s frayed nerves were making him careless. As he advanced, he triggered a boobytrap. As enemy forces gathered ahead, Maibala played rearguard.


Grimsaw, a tad crazed, rushed recklessly ahead of the team. He wanted this objective Bad.


Sala remained behind to deal with threats lurking in the fog. A fog which seemed to trail the squad while growing denser. The others rushed to aid Grimsaw.


Grimsaw’s crazed rush, left the team stretched out along the path. Kute paid the price.


Sala fell out of contact. However, his efforts in the fog kept forces from building up on the objective. Grimsaw reached their goal, but the fog had allowed a major build up to occur (RP hostiles + a 5 points).
His grenades would even the score.


Time was running out. Maibala heard Sala cry out and headed back to help. He had little to aid Grimsaw.
Grimsaw was making a last stand. He had to clear the area or all would be lost.


The fat lady sang. Time had run out as the fog engulfed the four soldiers. 


Aftermath 
Thus ends our three R’Lyeh missions. Zero wins. The module has great new twists, which required us to rethink our tactics and loadouts. Obviously we needed more plays to get it right.

This final mission was extra bloody, and fun. We prefer challenging missions and have often found the more enjoyable sessions to be those that result in casualties and even failure. Here the result is if the time expires, the squad is never heard from again.

The soldiers in this module are all fun to mix into the missions.

    He was looking for some votes to steal.
    He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind.
    Couldn't believe the results were real..."
