IN TWO DAYS!!! Another challenge for the Green Hornet; his aide, Kato; and their rolling arsenal the Black Beauty! If you missed the first scenario of this campaign, you can find it here! <\/a>Once again, I’m using the .45 Adventure rules by Rattrap Production<\/a>s, with a few modifications I have made myself. You can find out all about the changes I made here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario:<\/strong> The Green Hornet has been captured by “Wise Uncle” Wei\u2019s men. Kato has managed to free him, but now both men have been caught at one of the Tong gangster\u2019s warehouses. They must survive wave after wave of Tong until they can somehow find a way to escape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victory Conditions:<\/strong> The Green Hornet and Kato must run out the clock and survive against hordes of mooks until they can make their escape. If they escape, they win; if not, the villains win, and they are captured again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forces:<\/strong> The Hero player controls the Green Hornet (Grade 3 Crimefighter) and Kato (Grade 3 Crimefighter). The Criminal Player starts with Clean-Head Chang, a Tong Enforcer (Grade 2) armed with a cleaver; and 3 Tong thugs (Grade 1), who are unarmed.  In addition, “Wise Uncle” Wei has left his right-hand man and bodyguard, \u201cIron-Skin\u201d Liu (Grade 2 Heroic Warrior), to make sure the heroes don\u2019t leave the warehouse. Liu will watch from the sidelines until he takes a more active role (see below); also, more and more goons will continue to show up until the heroes either escape or get overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Setup:<\/strong> Play is on a 24\u201dx24\u201d surface, representing one of Wise Uncle Wei\u2019s warehouses. There is a raised platform on one end of the board. In addition, there are shipping containers, crates, barrels and oil drums liberally scattered about the warehouse around a central, circular area free of debris. The Green Hornet and Kato start in the middle of this circle. \u201cClean-Head\u201d Chang and the three Tong are deployed around the perimeter of the circle, at least 6\u201d away from any of the heroes. They should be deployed such that they block egress from the circle. \u201cIron-Skin\u201d Liu and Wise Uncle Wei are deployed on the platform, watching the fight. During the course of the combat, reinforcements may be deployed anywhere around the perimeter of the circle as they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event Deck:<\/strong> At the start of every turn, draw a card from the 13 card event deck and resolve it before rolling for intiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Ace-Two:<\/strong> Reinforcements! The villain player may add three <\/strong>Grade 1 Tong (unarmed) to the board. They must be deployed around the perimeter of the circle, at least 3\u201d away from any of the heroes. They may move and attack this turn.<\/li>
  • Three-Four:<\/strong> Reinforcements! The villain player may add two <\/strong>Grade 1 Tong (unarmed) to the board. They must be deployed around the perimeter of the circle, at least 3\u201d away from any of the heroes. They may move and attack this turn.<\/li>
  • Five-Six:<\/strong> Look out below! An unseen goon pulls a lever, dropping a suspended crate from above, which crashes down into the circle!  All models in the circle must pass a Dodge test or take a STR 6 hit. If a model is wounded but not KO\u2019ed, he is buried under the crate and Knocked Down. Models that are Knocked Down have their Heater and Shiv skills halved. On a subsequent activation they must pass a Brawn test to extricate themselves and stand up. In addition, roll a die to see what the crate contains on the table below.<\/li>
  • Seven:<\/strong> Back off! Someone left a weighted rope and pulley laying around. The Green Hornet or Kato (hero player\u2019s choice) snatches it up and whirls it around, clearing some space. All enemy models in hand-to-hand with the hero get pushed back 2\u201d in a 360\u00b0 arc. <\/li>
  • Eight:<\/strong> Back off! The Green Hornet or Kato (hero player\u2019s choice) topples a stack of crates, clearing some space. All enemy models in hand-to-hand with the hero get pushed back 2\u201d in a 360\u00b0 arc. In addition, roll a die to see what the crates contain on the table below.<\/li>
  • Nine-Ten:<\/strong> Nothing happens.<\/li>
  • Jack-Queen:<\/strong> A way out! (If this card is drawn during the first three turns, ignore it and shuffle it back into the deck.) The Green Hornet and Kato spot a way out of the warehouse that coincidentally takes them right past the Green Hornet\u2019s gear. The heroes have an opportunity to disengage and flee combat without suffering any attacks (no test necessary). They may leave the circle in whichever direction they choose. The goons will pursue and attempt to stop them; but if the heroes can reach the edge of the board, they escape! If he hasn\u2019t already joined the fight, \u201cIron-Skin\u201d Liu hops off the platform and enters the fray, while Wise Uncle Wei makes his escape.<\/li>
  • King:<\/strong> Wise Uncle Wei has seen enough. He leaves, telling \u201cIron-Skin\u201d Liu to make certain the Green Hornet and Kato don\u2019t leave the warehouse. Liu hops down from the platform and will join the Tong this round. (If this has already happened, then ignore this result.)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    No Escape!:<\/strong> The Green Hornet and Kato may not leave the circle until either a Jack or Queen is drawn from the Event Deck. This symbolizes the constant threat of the circling Tong; until an opening presents itself, the heroes must tough it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hordes of Mooks: <\/strong>The board has the potential to fill up with goons pretty quickly. If there are 3 or more Tong thugs within 3″ of each other at any time, they immediately form a squad; rolling once for combat at +3d10 rather than rolling individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cDo not disappoint me\u201d:<\/strong>  As long as Wise Uncle Wei is on the board, all the Tong (including “Clean-Head” Chang) are considered to have Undying Loyalty, and do not need to make Guts checks no matter how many of their fellows fall in combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Falling Crates<\/strong>: If a card result indicates that a crate explodes, roll a d10 and consult the following table to determine what happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • 1-3: <\/strong>Pepper! A barrel of hot pepper flakes explodes into the air. Every model in the circle must make a BRAWN test or have their Shiv and Dodge scores halved and their Move score reduced to zero for two rounds as they uncontrollably cough and sneeze.<\/li>
    • 4-6: <\/strong>Peanut oil! A cask of peanut oil bursts on the ground, making the entire circle slippery terrain for the rest of the scenario. If a model attempts to move more than half its speed it must pass a DODGE test or be Knocked Down. If it attempts to run, it must pass a DODGE test twice or be Knocked Down.<\/li>
    • 7-8: <\/strong>Flour! The crate contained sacks of rice flour, which burst, producing clouds of powder that obscure vision. Every model in the circle has their Heater and Shiv scores halved for two turns until the flour settles.<\/li>
    • 9-10:<\/strong> Fish Sauce! A barrel of smelly fish sauce crashes into the circle. If a hero is hit, he is covered in fish sauce in addition to taking a wound and being Knocked Down; but he smells so bad that any goons in hand-to-hand immediately break away 1\u201d and won\u2019t attack again for two rounds.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
