Kicking off 2019 with a dose of 2nd Ed retro gaming –

Brother Lorenzio tapped his comm-link again and muttered a curse. No matter what he did, he couldn't tune out the sibilant high frequency pulsating that he would almost swear sounded like some form of rhythmic high pitched bell… He put it out if his mind as the sonorous voice of Brother Sergeant Garcia came across the squad net.

"Stay close, brothers, the enemy is lightly armed but numerous. Brother Fiorian, your flamer to the fore."

The net chimed as Brother Enricio chimed in. "Forgive me, Brother Sergeant – enemy sighted, three contacts, each ten strong, bearings 294, 012 and 027"

The combat squad clustered behind a ruined wall. Garcia's voice across the net again – "Close and destroy, brothers. Grenades and flamer, bolter and sword. On me!"

With that, the five Space Marines roared their assent and charged toward their foe..

I really enjoyed that! Can’t wait for mission no.2

Thanks man! Was good to get the Christmas 1993 vibe going ;-) Game 2 coming as soon as the rest of the Marines and Boyz are painted

It was Christmas ‘94 for me! I remember it so well - and keep eyeing up eBay listings for the box myself...

Good luck mate, we picked our (admittedly incomplete) box for £10 - miracles can happen!
