Planetfall: Scientist Recruitment and Initial Mission (Analysis)

It has been a bit, but I finally have had the energy to play the second tutorial mission. I won't do a batrep for it this time, as I feel like me chasing Contact markers around isn't the most exciting. But we have my two scientists painted up, as well as a spare hazmat scientist because he was there.

Name: Kirsa Sandu
 Species: Senkovi
 Position: Chief of Science
Bio: Kirsa Sandu is an internally developed leader with extensive tenure within the organization, having delivered sustained and meaningful contributions across multiple operational areas. Recent analytical reviews and mandated psychological evaluations have identified an emerging inclination toward independent initiatives, including a stated interest in applying their expertise beyond the corporate environment for broader, non-organizational objectives.

This shift in professional orientation may be associated with a recent personal or ideological development and represents a potential long-term retention risk. At present, Sandu remains actively engaged and continues to perform at an acceptable standard. Ongoing monitoring, coupled with proactive engagement strategies, is recommended to maintain alignment with organizational priorities and mitigate potential attrition.

Sandu possesses a unique physiological capability to contort and reconfigure their body structure, enabling exceptional manoeuvrability in constrained environments. This capability—comparable to that of terrestrial octopi—may present valuable tactical applications in field operations and should be considered a strategic asset.

Name: Santos Marios
 Species: Human
 Position: Deputy Chief of Science
Bio: Santos Marios presents a non-standard employment profile. Internal records indicate a significant, unexplained gap in verifiable activity, during which no reliable data is available. Despite extensive review efforts, this period remains unaccounted for. Marios subsequently re-emerged within corporate-controlled space and successfully applied for their current role.

Psychological assessments describe Marios as analytically complex and resistant to straightforward profiling. Their professional motivations remain ambiguous, with observed behaviour suggesting a blend of intellectual curiosity and potential financial incentive. Notably, prior to their period of absence, Marios divested rights to several proprietary discoveries for a considerable sum. Despite this, they continue to demonstrate a marked interest in further financial accumulation.

At present, it is unclear whether this reflects strategic long-term planning or a stronger profit-driven orientation. Continued observation and evaluation are advised to better assess alignment with organizational objectives.

Returning to wargaming with 15mm Five Parsecs

Image
 Guess who is ostensibly back after what, three? Four? Years of not posting on here. A lot changed. I got super busy volunteering with a wargames store locally and even moved house. Said store is now closed while pending a hopeful move to a new location, and my new apartment has a good bit more floor space, which means hopefully more games. Specifically: Solo wargames!  I've already tried my hand at several solo journaling style RPGs, but next to try is my hand at Five Parsecs From Home. So, I've picked up a new table, sized it out to see what kind of space and terrain I'm working with (specifically in 15mm) and rolled up a crew. I'll be working in 15mm for two reasons. One; I'm still unemployed so 15mm is as ever a nice economic solution with still a lot of character (and I have a good few minis in that scale already). Two; while I could fit a 3 foot by 3 foot table in my space, it would be a LITTLE too big to keep set up comfortably, and a 2x2 board feels a lot le...

 Haven't posted in awhile, but I also! Don't have new minis painted, oops. I do have a good chunk of terrain worked on though, and have started posting over on  Lead Adventure  too! A lot of the terrain is in various half finished states, but between the urban stuff, the trees and some (garden) rocks I currently have drying off to make (wargame) rocks, I feel like I'm in a pretty solid position terrain wise.  The urban board needs more styrene ordering to continue work on the pavement too whoops. As for my talk of starting a 5PFH campaign....well that session 0 I posted about may get put on hold. Turns out Nordic Weasel released their Planetfall colony running game in the same universe, and I got the idea of using that to develop a planet from its early days and use 5 Parsecs and 5 Leagues travel rules to play around in a one planet sandbox of landship RV roadtripping mercs more in the style of Borderlands. So will have to see how that goes. Anyway, time for pictures...

Five Parsecs Planetfall- Scout Recruitment

Image
 Finally motivated myself to doing a bit more! And by a bit more, I mean a spready of various...stuff. I got a decent supply of new terrain done, which I'm hoping to get some pictures of up when I can start my first tutorial game involving the Scouts as written in the Planetfall book. Until then, here's some pictures of said scouts and how the Journal for the game is shaping up! The raptor alien had a little accident unfortunately, those ankles are very thin. I tried gluing it back in (and an edge of its armour got a little chipped and needs a dot of paint), but I'm not too confident in that glue job. If it breaks again, I might just brute force glue it down and just hide the messy joints with a bunch of tall grass. The handouts were made using  this template.  Also I'll post the employee bios in raw text beneath. Enjoy!
