Pretty Rad! - Fallout: Wasteland Warfare

Had a quick skirmish game of Fallout: Wasteland Warfare at the game store the other day with one of my regular gaming mates and his friend. I know next to nothing about the Fallout setting but it was plenty of fun with the 32mm figures and excellent terrain my mate had painted.

I played a recently reactivated Protectron (a 'Lost In Space'-looking robot) following the sound of gunfire, which was my mate's friend's survivor and her robot attempting to rescue two captives from a band of mutants. The Protectron got mauled by a mutated guard dog before eventually dispatching the animal with a laser. The survivor managed to shoot several mutants and a second hound, however her floating robot (which looked like a D&D beholder) was shot down. She wouldn't leave it behind to be scrapped by the mutants, so kept fighting hard.

Meanwhile, the Protectron robot had taken many hits (there were torn conduits and wires ripped out, dog bite marks on the paint, bullet holes everywhere ...) and began looking for self-repair items in nearby caches. He wandered into proximity of the captives and, upon taking further hits from a mutant's gun, commenced an audible countdown to self-destruct sequence.

With mere seconds to spare, the survivor managed to kill the last mutant with her hunting rifle and with the danger gone, the Protectron stopped counting, and sought repair assistance from the survivor.

A fun and very easy-to-learn game with a clever dice system for combat and plenty of RPG-style and development elements (including a base-building system apparently).

My only pic from the game was this one of the Protectron looking for useful parts in a vending machine. Apparently there is a dangerous 'Sheepsquatch' about.

The loot obtained: nothing a robot with low Intelligence can use.
