Godzilla Rampage

After our club's annual general meeting John C hosted a monster rampage inspired by the classic Godzilla movies. The buildings and mats are from the Dropship Commander game. The human military are 6mm models. The cars and the monsters are all toys

The three players on the monster side created the stats for their monsters. Godzilla was a level 40 monster with 40 points to spend on strength, speed, etc and bonuses. He went for the maximum save of 4+ and the great height bonus. The other two were level 30, one with flight the other breathing fire. 

 

For the monsters to win we had to inflict damage greater than the number of points spend on the monsters, 5 points for a destroyed building, 3 for burning, one for crushed people etc.

Our least menacing looking monster came on first and set a building on fire, but was taking a lot of damage immediately.

 

In the next turn we brought on the others. Godzilla headed straight for some tanks and crushed two of them. The two headed monster moved rapidly up the road. At this point is was clear the monsters weren't going to last very long. John said he'd written the rules in 10 minutes and so a quick modification gave us each an extra 20 points to spend (without changing the victory conditions)

 

 

The two headed monster flew to the enemy rear where rocket launchers and tanks were about to attack and used it's newly purchased radiation wave to destroy them. Moving back it used the second of  it's radiation waves to kill more units and hordes of citizens (represented by cars) as well.

 

I controlled Godzilla an miss-read the rules about taking hits, so Godzilla came crashing down before his time. Using the great height bonus he was able to take another building with him, crashing into it. By then he'd crushed three buildings.

 The two headed monster was next to go down to rockets and the helicopter.

The fire breather was doing well setting fire to buildings and surviving a lot of hostile attention, but diminished by wounds. It dodged around tall buildings depriving the enemy of a target, eventually going down next to the corpse of Godzilla.
 

So we needed to cause 90 points of damage to wing, the fire breather had set lots of buildings on fire and killed plenty of military units, Godzilla had crushed three buildings plus a few casualties, and the two headed monster had killed significant military casualties and killed hordes of civilians.Total damage was 72 points so the human side won.

  This was a lot of fun.
