CoPilot meets "GangBusters"

 

Solo Adventure: “Midnight Heist at the Blue Orchid”

Welcome to your first-level GangBusters solo adventure. I’ll act as judge, narrate the scenes, and call for your actions and dice rolls. You control a single 1st-level gangster trying to prove yourself to your boss by pulling off a risky job. Let’s begin.

Adventure Premise

You’re a small-time hood in 1927 Chicago, known for your quick hands and nerve. Tonight, your boss “Big Tony” wants you to sneak into the rival O’Connor crew’s speakeasy—the Blue Orchid—and swipe their daybook. That ledger could bankrupt Mrs. O’Connor’s operation and boost your standing.

Key objectives:

• Infiltrate the speakeasy without alerting the bouncers.

• Find and steal the daybook.

• Escape through the alleys before the fuzz arrives.

Rewards for success: increased respect in Big Tony’s crew, a few extra dollars, and a chance at promotion.

Welcome to my childhood

 When I was 12 years old (the early 60s), I needed to be creative with my gaming.  I used a 9 X 9 square quilt, my grandmother made for my bed as a playing board. I made tanks, trucks, and artillery pieces using American Plastic Bricks (with cut down Q-Tips) (see above). And, "borrowed" dice from an Uncle Wiggly game (I'm not sure whether the arsenic paint or the lead bunnies posed the greater danger) and reused an abandoned sewing tape.

Today, WARG played a solo tank battle on my newest creation, a jigsaw playing board (2 foot X 2 foot) (see above). Using the tanks of my childhood.

Despite an early advantage, Gunner Stanley (red state), after losing his left tank track, failed to land another round, and was captured not far from his destroyed tank.. 

Rules: Modified Tonks

Maybe someday we will play a WWII battle using toothpicks as squad weapons  8-)
