Somewhere in the deserts of It'sLamb:
The desert sun beams down on a small settlement, which was built around an ancient fortress. The oasis to the west was much bigger when it was built, but has now been reduced to a small pond.
On this particular day, four mysterious men have gathered in the courtyard of the fortress. Who are these men, you ask?
Johnny Silver, an assuming mercenary who dabbles in robotics and electronic music when he's not on a mission. (Silverdream)
Crimson Falcon, the son of a military commander who prefers to fight on his own terms. (alphafalcon)
Sir Catch, a former general with a head the size of a planet, and an ego to match. (Scratch)
Ivan the fourth, a shady character who's seen on the battlefield, but nowhere else. (Vami_IV)
But what brings our four heroes to this spot today?
Johnny: So Ivan, why did you- I mean, your father call us here?
Ivan: Hey, those were my orders, okay? Anyway, we're here because my fath- because I received word that the Red Giant is looking to take control of this fortress to use as a desert base.
Falcon: But this fortress is completely useless! It's nothing but ruins and abandoned military structures.
Catch: Why would he want such a small base anyway?
Well hello there, my diminutive friends. A beautiful day to die, isn't it?
Well, that explains the small fortress.
I HEARD THAT! How did you manage to be one step ahead of me, anyway? No matter! It's not like you'll be able to do anything with those puny things you call guns?
Well I doubt that beefed up TV remote is going to do anything to us, either.
Oh, you mean my brainwave blaster? I'm not planning to use this on you. I found some more.... "willing" targets.
Go forth my puppets! Squash these fools like the insects they are!
*Whuppa whuppa whuppa whuppa*
Mind-controlled civilians move in from the north, south and west sides. Armed with nothing but swords and axes, they should be no match for our heroes' guns... right?

This corner of the board features a small bunker and wall, as well as a parts chest.
This corner has an old military guard tower, another wall, and some trees.
This corner contains the oasis, some market booths from a caravan come and gone, some more trees, and the other parts chest.
Last but not least, some ruins (including a parapet) and a tree.
This battle is going to be using the rules/"rules" from the Weapon Crafting thread.
I did some thinking and was originally going to make this a chat battle, but decided on a different solution. I'm going to be going through the turns three at a time (at least at first) to make things go faster. When you send orders, make a plan as to how you want those three turns to go.
I'll use my judgement to make response actions unless you've specified how you want to respond (e.g. not firing with a launcher to save ammo).Example wrote:Shoot the two remaining guys. Once they are killed, move toward the parts chest in the oasis, and open it if I can reach it.
At the end of three turns, I'll post overviews of the battlefield, everyone's parts inventories, and any information about the following turn (enemy spawns, parts chests, etc.)
Crafting: When you want to craft something, just post a picture of the item you'd like to craft. This picture can be a photograph, an MS Paint drawing, an LDD screenshot, or whatever you choose. As long as I can tell what you want to make, it works. There are times when an item looks like it could have one of two effects. For example, a chain could be an ammo belt (making it a machine gun) or an actual chain (making it a grappling/bola weapon). Because of this, it's a good idea to add a description of what you think the item should do. Hell, give it a clever name if you'd like.
Some notes/rules I'm trying out:
- Weapon sizes will be fudged. If it looks like your minifig can hold it with one hand, he can. If it gets too big for that, then he holds it with two hands. If it gets too big for that, then it will be a mounted weapon (cannot move and fire).
- Your minifigs can use both hands. If you have two one-handed weapons (like the two pistols everyone has), then you can use both of them.
- In hope of speeding up the start of the game, every player's first kill will give them 5 parts. Every kill after that gives you one part.
- I will be giving out extra parts for crafting creative/clever/ossum items, so don't just think of normal guns. There are plenty of neck brackets in the bag!
- Parts chests will open randomly. At the end of every turn I'll roll a d4 for each chest, and on a 4 the chest will open.
- Your minifigs have a skill of d8, because dice hate me and I don't want to drag this on forever.
Remember to be awesome, and enjoy the shit out of this. you're not just entertaining yourself, you're entertaining the forum. Creativity and a sense of humor are key to this battle.
So without further ado,
Post those orders, mofos!
