The Movie Maker versus the Gigantic Ape
King Kong was chasing Ann Darrow, the beautiful blonde actress, and her rescuer, Jack Driscoll, when a leathery beast appeared but Kong intercepted his rival, the tyrannosaurus. Karl Denham, the movie maker, set off with a group of shooters to capture Kong for a show in America. If they had to kill Kong at least he could exhibit the body but he brought gas bombs to knock him out.
Denham could see Ann and Jack, running over a hill, hotly pursued by both Kong and a dinosaur! Kong was outraged that the scaly beast could be after Ann. He grabbed a fallen tree trunk and bashed it over its head, killing it.
Ann and Jack saw Denham and his men on the other side of the river and headed towards them. Denham's me made a firing line and shot at Kong as e began crossing the river. Kong roared as the bullets tore into him but he continued his attack.
Below: Kong, although bleeding from bites, was triumphant. He paused before continuing after the girl.
Denham and his men await the hairy beast's attack.A large river monster patrols the river but is not in the area of the river crossing.
Ann and Jack cross the sand hill to the river.
Denham and his men cheer as they see Anne and Jack will be safe.
Ann and Jack made it back to the village where the cowed villagers left them alone. They boarded the boat and headed back to America where they were wed.
I used the Tusk rules adapted to 54mm and some Warhammer style rules.




Nice and narrative battle report James. I guess Kong can take a lot of bullets before going down. How di you resolve his toughness against such (for him) small caliber?
ReplyDeleteThe guns wound him on a high number - I think it was either 5+ or 6. One of the guns was a very heavy one and wounded on 4+. K
ReplyDeleteKong had 5 wounds to lose before dying.
ReplyDeleteIn our first game he was killed by cannons which wounded him on 2+ As for hits he is a big target meaning usually he is hit on 3+.
