5 Parsecs from home and Galactic Heroes

I started a new 5 Parsecs from Home campaign using a the 5PFH campaign generation rules but using the Galactic Heroes (a Fist Full of Lead variant) rules with the activation system from Combat Patrol. Worked very well.


My six crew members were hired to get a data disc past the security troops at the border of an exclusion zone. I though we would walk right through outnumbering the guards 6 to 3. 

Putting Rax on the second floor with her hunting rifle, Captain Jorren led the others in a skirmish line to make their way through the border. The guards proved to be excellent shots and fighters, cutting down 4 of the crew. Rax shot down the enemy leader, and Jorren took out one trooper after a see-saw fight on the cliff. The pair finally sprinted past the last guard to accomplish the mission. 

Most of the wounds proved to be minor, with Kragh and Talo being in the med bay for a week and the others back in action. We even picked up a new recruit. 


Mission: get the data disc through this border zone

Making a break for it ends with two crew caught in the open and gunned down

The plan starts to fall apart

Kragh gets taken down in hand to hand

Casualties mount

The battle develops on the cliff

Sniper!

Jorren gets the advantage

Firefight

Take that!

Let's go!

Victory...but at what cost?
