It works well with more but those amounts are ideal. Most games have one Platoon sized force per player and have one or two or maybe even three players. A Platoon or Lance which contains typically twenty two (22) miniatures. In Patrol Angis you play either as the Prydian Army in its quest to reclaim worlds lost to the Marcher Barons during the Civil War or you can play in the employ of Canlaster or Yordist or any of the other dozen smaller array of Marcher Barons. This includes playing as a “Conda”' or paid professional mercenary for any side.</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>This is low intensity warfare title where troops mainly on foot, root each other out over small objectives. It’s not massive, not often glamorous, but it’s pure adventure, it’s the stuff of heroes and it’s skirmishing at its best! Easy to get into and to build upon.

It contains an introduction, how to read game scales, orders of battle, rule sets to use, links and bibliography which are all well presented. The meat of the book are the TWENTY full scenarios of historical battles beginning with Seminara 1495 through Ravenna 1512 up to Scannagalio in 1554. Each scenario is either small or large based on history and features information on who and what happened and their forces as well as map and guide to armies for three different rule systems. These are Impetus, Pike and Shotte and Furioso. For Furioso you are told units and their sizes plus special notes. This gets you to the table and then the game rules take over.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJbjq2hgsyRdxfqAaTnmsvFMzfdR12gaXe8cs9wxggMu5DcKf1g2vumn-RoVxImWN14Lmk-EfT0Nw2hEesTqIPtfPH82YQFEuDcZ4VZGgtIl910sCWYg30S0oSlffEeOW39peFFYzP7YKme5pdhkpLKiBAix247WP63ClKI81NdnMy8JoCxAfsVf5Q/s2048/424888684_7053405564728791_4211034809977300652_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1283" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJbjq2hgsyRdxfqAaTnmsvFMzfdR12gaXe8cs9wxggMu5DcKf1g2vumn-RoVxImWN14Lmk-EfT0Nw2hEesTqIPtfPH82YQFEuDcZ4VZGgtIl910sCWYg30S0oSlffEeOW39peFFYzP7YKme5pdhkpLKiBAix247WP63ClKI81NdnMy8JoCxAfsVf5Q/w400-h640/424888684_7053405564728791_4211034809977300652_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This title is an impressive piece of historical research by a fluent Italian speaker and is very easy to follow. It has garnered excellent feedback from wargamers on those groups which deal with the Italian Wars. Many of these members are customers of ours and players of Furioso. Our own copy is now dog eared from use and will be referred to again and again. It is well worth purchasing if you play this period as specialised resources such as this can be thin on the ground. There are some spelling errors and a slight re-organisation of sections (attaching captain's value to scenarios) would be helpful but these are very minor detractors.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyEXyPquQwPS7sbh16X5CmSbQOk7zJs3Z8mAmajptu0q6setmb5hwD9eo9T2WbkcRGZ7mUPfllLQ6UiVYkgQBgn8zfp3zh98t0oppv6BQwWUoCaRzLZizn6Yxn_Hg2hZv-x5t1kKiLy2B1Ejv9jmF02XigrZHpetrKmYJvbupPRIZ_QrCIKtiRC2Aq/s600/furiosos_slide_600pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="600" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyEXyPquQwPS7sbh16X5CmSbQOk7zJs3Z8mAmajptu0q6setmb5hwD9eo9T2WbkcRGZ7mUPfllLQ6UiVYkgQBgn8zfp3zh98t0oppv6BQwWUoCaRzLZizn6Yxn_Hg2hZv-x5t1kKiLy2B1Ejv9jmF02XigrZHpetrKmYJvbupPRIZ_QrCIKtiRC2Aq/w640-h448/furiosos_slide_600pix.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Our <a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-renaissance-altuos-range" target="_blank">16th Century Renaissance Range in 15mm scale</a> features in Rodolpho’s book and while you can play Furioso in any scale from 28mm to 6mm it is our chosen scale to use Over 150 poses as singles plus horses, buildings, ruins, encampments, tents, walls and historical characters such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Cesare Borgia.

Soldiers of all kinds love to drink, the ‘demon drinke’ as the Joccian’s call it (and they imbibe more than most!) and ensuring that these soldiers arrive for a fight sober is not easy. The constant threat of death, injury and receiving pay that is often worse than that given to an Otharmann galley slave makes the attraction of booze all the stronger.</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/flintloque-game-system" target="_blank">For Flintloque the following game mechanics</a>:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>‘Woz that? I smell’s juniyper!’</i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can place the barrel of bottles into any scenario you wish in any setting from the Witchlands to Catalucia to the streets of Londinium. You may place more than one barrel if you want but ensure no barrel is within 30cm of any other. Place the first barrel on a road as if it has fallen from a cart or at the wall of an inn or somewhere that makes sense; even in the woods as it might be a secret stash!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">During play any mortal character who comes within 5cm of the Barrel of Bottles can choose to drink something from it. This is in the case of characters who are Elite or Regular or higher experience level. Raw characters and Civilian characters will automatically choose to drink. Othari characters will not take a drink. The Undead will not but Vampyres may if they near. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The effects of a random bottle are not always for the bad. They could be good or they could be useful. It takes one action to try a bottle and then make a D10 roll for its contents and effect.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>0 – It is pure firewater! The character spits it out but the bottle can be used as a Fyre Grenade in play.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>1-2 It is cordial water. The character drinks and it tastes just fine but does nothing else.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>3-6 It is the Demon Drink. The character rolls a D10 on an odd result they drink deep, on evens they do not.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>7-9 It is Good Stuff. A fortifying remedy. The character is refreshed.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If it is Firewater then it cannot be drunk but can be lit and thrown which is very useful in the Witchlands. See the game books for Grenade rules. Cordial Water is safe to drink but does nothing at all though if you choose it might be valuable in a hot climate. The Demon Drink on a result of drinking deep means the character is enfeebled by booze for rest of the scenario. They lose 20% of their movement rates and suffer a -3 to Melee Combat and -20% accuracy on all shooting and they may not aim. The Good Stuff is a tonic possibly slightly Magicke in its making. The character chooses one of the following boons which lasts for the rest of the scenario. +10% Accuracy on all shooting or +10% to Movement Rates or +1 to Discipline. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">A character may spend as many actions on drinking bottles as they wish BUT. They may not pass a bottle to another and they may not take any bonus more than once and if they get a Demon Drink enfeeblement result TWICE they are then rendered unconscious for the rest of the scenario and fall where they stand. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8R9jxs-xCNg2-O0QdU9WhGd3bEAqXlAORKwHkzXHDgz4guDNVtLULB73GBV02BywuzBFMU2ZjR9voPxEwecBEwHnIFWoRF7lc0FZYjk9KIif_EeRqQDjb5qowSWH83QQIErzyfeajy6gEbNMir5t-Dy9O7_tXI8o2Tl8UoaVgf6hgFx5u37z_M9S/s2000/59547_rules_1_master_3000pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1279" data-original-width="2000" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF8R9jxs-xCNg2-O0QdU9WhGd3bEAqXlAORKwHkzXHDgz4guDNVtLULB73GBV02BywuzBFMU2ZjR9voPxEwecBEwHnIFWoRF7lc0FZYjk9KIif_EeRqQDjb5qowSWH83QQIErzyfeajy6gEbNMir5t-Dy9O7_tXI8o2Tl8UoaVgf6hgFx5u37z_M9S/w640-h410/59547_rules_1_master_3000pix.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(<a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/todoroni-of-nepolise" target="_blank">Todoroni of Nepolise</a> are fine diners and use their servants to eat well even on campaign)</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/slaughterloo-game-system" target="_blank">For Slaughterloo</a> the barrel of bottles is more of a temptation or a treat for a lucky or unlucky unit on the battlefield. The barrel is placed on the battlefield in a suitable place as with Flintloque on a road or near a building or where it makes sense to the player. It is recommended only one barrel per game but you can have several if players agree.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The following game mechanics do not apply to Undead units or Othari units. All other units which are on foot and not artillery (not cavalry) will act upon the barrel if their movement action takes their edge within 10cm of the barrel. When this happens the barrel is moved into the ranks of that unit and a D6 roll is made upon the unit’s activation for the next three turns.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">1 to 3 – Demon Drink!

The miniatures themselves</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Neither too big and detailed, nor too small and fiddly, 15mm miniatures strike the perfect balance between size and detail. The minis are beautifully sculpted, it's clear what each miniature is supposed to represent, you can easily see what kind of weapon they have, and still they do not have an abundance of details which will take an eternity to paint. Mounted on 20mm bases, they can be used in skirmish wargames, multibase them and they can be used for bigger battles. There is an enormous width of miniatures available and since a lot of rulesets are miniature agnostic, you can mix and match with different producers. In one of my Five Parsecs from Home crews I have five models from four different ranges (all made supplied through Alternative Armies), looking great standing side by side.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9RABIGw4AvwDbn4kyGR9ajTcOYcbHlJ6deqi5FysSkOPO-23sVVuBd9O6dkIoT0CmP4Coztr0jwh7HIprUXDauHKEifQ6GOv2G5jSOlk0GgqvfiwWQBwuofjMYKWaOUfZ5noyN9eOrgy08X-ESAw5Uxcs7c1HjiFbqem7whzueCprcxaXeKpOrMr/s1000/article2_0_1000pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="861" data-original-width="1000" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9RABIGw4AvwDbn4kyGR9ajTcOYcbHlJ6deqi5FysSkOPO-23sVVuBd9O6dkIoT0CmP4Coztr0jwh7HIprUXDauHKEifQ6GOv2G5jSOlk0GgqvfiwWQBwuofjMYKWaOUfZ5noyN9eOrgy08X-ESAw5Uxcs7c1HjiFbqem7whzueCprcxaXeKpOrMr/w400-h345/article2_0_1000pix.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>2. The cost</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is something really satisfying with being able to get half a 15mm army for the same cost as a 28mm squad of ten basic infantrymen. Playing crew-on-crew skirmishes or RPGs, you can always add a new adversary or encounter for a couple of quid. This doesn't mean that 15mm in the end is a lot less expensive than larger scales, just that you get a whole lot more!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFu6cOgC4kh-A-0QZyBcJTcNzyxQEMSc4uGvIY7c4MA1fLmkXqoD7tWNmAPK1DFlkuMbnEsKdzJ0XstpQYXZ0EmXGqf31pmOTSzNJ1Vs4VK0nxyPdH6GgymmkuUhEe7FQMfvX1hOeDstxh0uB-g8zOV2tCmmcSuoKWCop1UdhDOLnXMOzRDnihb78o/s1000/article2_2_1000pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="946" data-original-width="1000" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFu6cOgC4kh-A-0QZyBcJTcNzyxQEMSc4uGvIY7c4MA1fLmkXqoD7tWNmAPK1DFlkuMbnEsKdzJ0XstpQYXZ0EmXGqf31pmOTSzNJ1Vs4VK0nxyPdH6GgymmkuUhEe7FQMfvX1hOeDstxh0uB-g8zOV2tCmmcSuoKWCop1UdhDOLnXMOzRDnihb78o/w400-h379/article2_2_1000pix.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>3. Easy to paint</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I thought that miniature painting was for other, more talented people than me. Turns out that 15mm models are a lot easier to paint than I thought! You just need to undercoat, then block in the colours you want. Wash the different areas with appropriate washes, then repaint with the original colours, leaving the wash in the recesses. To finalize I add a couple of highlights with lighter colours and done! Remember that 15mm miniatures look great with bold highlights!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDuP0EbvFLq0I-bry-fkdW4TNhvqYXwAneSFpG_M9mQMQcFxDzmudMmJH5wi7W8gUI56NTKIWN4ApaKXFmxQ46PyJaNFgEPKANO7iTCfAMbNxRZfw75QjQQ9xu8LTCqhpHDJT0ba2gDRPIXthnISD4A6EKC75qU6EJ41lQvzNzK8khjfQ7M8Vn00hR/s1000/article2_3_1000pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="1000" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDuP0EbvFLq0I-bry-fkdW4TNhvqYXwAneSFpG_M9mQMQcFxDzmudMmJH5wi7W8gUI56NTKIWN4ApaKXFmxQ46PyJaNFgEPKANO7iTCfAMbNxRZfw75QjQQ9xu8LTCqhpHDJT0ba2gDRPIXthnISD4A6EKC75qU6EJ41lQvzNzK8khjfQ7M8Vn00hR/w400-h276/article2_3_1000pix.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>4. Size and storage</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A 15mm miniature takes up about 1/8th the space compared with a 28mm miniature. If you have limited space to store your collection, 15mm is for you. You could also use this fact to have several terrain sets, since they take up less space (this is what I have done and you see in my pictures).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqoXILe8jpoLDUHgG3XpmUvb1lFDGydXkQyLp6mSEkJw-OxyPtXoPK8iJCy99RJJmd5AQxoBg8ZH9XAZhqMP0DetxgpHJ13ZlcLXyUkYS-lb6kXGxFujTQWPvCEWav1uJX8QLouZX4IPSW8NeoPajYcr-uJXPxdhkBxSgoyLxVOs2cZvX80t1sjKRf/s1000/article2_4_1000pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="1000" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqoXILe8jpoLDUHgG3XpmUvb1lFDGydXkQyLp6mSEkJw-OxyPtXoPK8iJCy99RJJmd5AQxoBg8ZH9XAZhqMP0DetxgpHJ13ZlcLXyUkYS-lb6kXGxFujTQWPvCEWav1uJX8QLouZX4IPSW8NeoPajYcr-uJXPxdhkBxSgoyLxVOs2cZvX80t1sjKRf/w640-h442/article2_4_1000pix.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>5. The terrain</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It started with a 2x2' city board for zombie apocalypse games and sci-fi guerilla war. Then I just had to have a badlands board (a brown 2x3' board) for games set in the wilderness. I got some MDF buildings, then realized the wonders you could do by scratch building terrain yourself. The city got buildings, the badlands got a pine forest and a sci-fi container colony. I wanted a jungle, so I built one out of plant-looking soap holders, realized that the soap holders themselves could be turned upside down and with some plasticard and greeblies be turned into a military base. The jungle had to have some ruins, so I built some out of cork board. I was gifted some starport terrain, as well as another container colony (the one that inspired me to build my first one) and I thought that the spaceport ought to have some spaceships, so I built some. Then I thought that I perhaps needed a bigger starship that could be used to play on, and so on and so on. Now I'm thinking about building some new terrain without basing, so that I could get a desert and an ice planet board to game on... And while I have told you about all this, you should know that it all fits in a couple of boxes on top of a bookshelf.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfGFsse40n9UGMbjbLtqSmVPHmg9L_X3N61R8s7KwxGkWqrXtVwYP4Ugkze4Ng8zEnuiR40jsavWf5xkAZLWibBlr8jPDICxXHrHlk1OBo7E3zJRnLvJtdbyBISTSASJWo1dt0HRrnknbqRKG4SyRQSsp7qkl-IcUK8lq2K401UyGV1SrBIijI0iEY/s1000/article2_1_1000pix.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="786" data-original-width="1000" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfGFsse40n9UGMbjbLtqSmVPHmg9L_X3N61R8s7KwxGkWqrXtVwYP4Ugkze4Ng8zEnuiR40jsavWf5xkAZLWibBlr8jPDICxXHrHlk1OBo7E3zJRnLvJtdbyBISTSASJWo1dt0HRrnknbqRKG4SyRQSsp7qkl-IcUK8lq2K401UyGV1SrBIijI0iEY/w400-h315/article2_1_1000pix.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>6. The community</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don't think that I ever have encountered such a friendly community as the 15mm one. I think that the community is one of the best things about the scale. My beloved spaceport terrain was gifted to me by the legendary <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spacejacker/" target="_blank">Spacejacker</a> (as he couldn't bring it as he moved abroad). Shortly after, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tmcllghn_paints/" target="_blank">@tmcllghnpaints</a> gifted me his container colony (which he never played with). I know that there is a group of hobbyists in Canada who send care packages with minis to each other. I've gotten to learn hobbyist across the globe who has helped me with my actual work, when we didn't exchange hobby tips. When I built my first spacecraft from scratch, a fellow hobbyist asked for the plans, which I gladly gave him. A while after, he sent me an STL-file and some pictures of his own craft that he printed. 15mm proponent and creator of Five Parsecs from Home, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Nordicweaselgames/?locale=en_GB" target="_blank">Ivan Sorensen</a>, is always nice and helpful if you reach out to him.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall, my experience of the 15mm community is utterly positive.

By then they had fallen out of favour, but as humanity started to spread through the galaxy, guilds became popular once more. By banding together in guilds, resources could be pooled, more could be achieved, and members could find sources of co-operation and connections in systems far from home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some guilds are singular, like the Star Charters' Guild, while others can be found in multiple iterations, like the Trade Guilds. The older Trade Guilds mainly focus on logistics and brokering multilateral deals, seeing to it that the flow of goods never breaks down. Their fees are low, but with the enormous amount of deals being handled, they will still amount to massive gains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While many Trade Guilds are peaceful, some are quite ruthless. They are constantly looking for newly colonized systems where they can force bad deals on colonists in need. In return they get the rights to natural resources, indentured servants, or the right to plunder any ancient ruins on the colony world. They do not care if their resource extraction creates environmental catastrophes, and if quotas are not met, they come to get it in force... The Kefalos Trade Guild is one of the most ruthless guilds, which has driven their business to the absolute fringe of the galaxy. They have recently been spotted on Golgotha Prime, and rumour has it that they are involved in some shady business...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeQAi_ps-3pU3HDAepZvPmGAGCm0H62B-QWRY2dzytXzYGNfnzvldq68mNet0wVjDxjcACORQTlSHnzcXxUU61EBuU-hHYgX7LH3z4GkamQipe9CMhf1kZNcZ-F-ltxchyphenhyphenln8T1ZTssVDzBAug2FdynMzwa2rFPBSJXcRrvdscSn8ryakQy645t6Kc/s2156/1_oscar_falk_2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1644" data-original-width="2156" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeQAi_ps-3pU3HDAepZvPmGAGCm0H62B-QWRY2dzytXzYGNfnzvldq68mNet0wVjDxjcACORQTlSHnzcXxUU61EBuU-hHYgX7LH3z4GkamQipe9CMhf1kZNcZ-F-ltxchyphenhyphenln8T1ZTssVDzBAug2FdynMzwa2rFPBSJXcRrvdscSn8ryakQy645t6Kc/w640-h488/1_oscar_falk_2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(<a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-ion-age-terrain-range/products/iaf033-crashed-skylark-patrol-flyer" target="_blank">IAF033 Crashed Skylark</a> and<a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-ion-age-miniature-range/products/year-three-collection-12-unique-miniatures-set-or-singles" target="_blank"> Xin Monkey Bot </a>and <a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-ion-age-miniature-range/products/year-two-collection-12-unique-miniatures-set-or-singles" target="_blank">Trader</a> from The Ion Age)</div><p style="text-align: center;"><b>MISSION BRIEFING</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Do not point that thing on me!"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Hey, do not point that thing on me squidface!"</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Easy now, easy now...

Ostensibly Zedel has come to establish a Kefalos Trade Guild outpost, but vile rumours about more nefarious motives follow him...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Something else follows him as well: his M1-K Bot. Modelled after a terrestrial simian, the M1-K scampers around its master, fetching things, acting like a pet. The M1-K's AI seems severely limited, often failing with even the simplest tasks in front of whomever Zedel is meeting. But this is all a ruse. Under the official AI, there is another, much more potent hiding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When invited as a guest, Ko-In Zedel always bring the M1-K. When they are alone, the bot is sent out to map the facility, spy on its inhabitants, slice computer systems and bring the data back to Zedel. The bot is extremely quick and nimble, able to move through vents, dodge security systems and guards. Should it be discovered, it can deploy the energy weapon hidden in its tail, which can either fire deadly bolts of energy, or be used to stun the enemies in close combat.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Should a target need to be eliminated, a toxin pack can be installed in the M1-K's tail. Sneaking up on the unsuspecting victim, the M1-K can deliver untraceable and delayable toxins, which make the death seem natural. But as potent as the M1-K is, Zedel is using it sparingly, so it doesn't get discovered for what it actually is...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijZGWHoe_8U_N6r-uzbQBXkMYxcHZKifEX5vCAgl7Lj-9uExEOCzGuUuWl9WydeGKK3bh2lq3WeaN26_LxKbIAzJ4PhB-jIUeirstpWqiUwArEzO4z1l5vUHEoSCEVM5gINDQfAly_32E2vEkGSRKsCF0GFGhseCG0pKg3L4_53VLonvsfhJSIe-pW/s1376/161123_IMG_20231116_134911_153.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="890" data-original-width="1376" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijZGWHoe_8U_N6r-uzbQBXkMYxcHZKifEX5vCAgl7Lj-9uExEOCzGuUuWl9WydeGKK3bh2lq3WeaN26_LxKbIAzJ4PhB-jIUeirstpWqiUwArEzO4z1l5vUHEoSCEVM5gINDQfAly_32E2vEkGSRKsCF0GFGhseCG0pKg3L4_53VLonvsfhJSIe-pW/w640-h414/161123_IMG_20231116_134911_153.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(<a href="https://www.alternative-armies.com/collections/15mm-hof-science-fiction-range/post-apocalyptic" target="_blank">Post Apoc Warriors</a> from the HOF Range)</div><p style="text-align: center;"><b>SCAVENGERS AND A FAILED COLONY</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes the worst things happen.
