About the Project
After spotting sector Alix on the indie of the week i was immediately hooked. I was a big fan of bioshock Infinite and so I've jumped in to give this game a go.

Scenario Three. Convoy attack
Down in the under docks a company patrol boat guards a gateway where traffic passers through. Our pirates have learned of a company convoy heading this way. They have some time to spring the ambush in this much more involved scenario which contains scheduled events and options for our crews
A pirate boat heads towards the docks but the company won't turn hostile unless we get too close
The boat drops off one of the crew at a dock where he borrows a shipment of fuel.
Meanwhile a civilian transcontainer passers the watchful eye of the patrol boat 
Unable to resist the plunder our pirates try to intercept 
More civilian traffic enters the area as our lone docker with his borrowed fuel heads to the company dock
The transcontainer slips away as the company forces turn their attention to what's going on
Shots are fired at the pirates as the fuel is rigged to blow
Out of no where the rest of the pirate fleet enters the area boarding a civilian truck while under fire from troops on the dock
With a bang the docker ignites the fuel and destroys the patrol boat and himself just as the convoy arrives 
The pirate tugboat tries to intercept and boards the barge seeking plunder. Unfortunately the plunder turned out to be on the small truck that slips past
Other pirate vessels block the company route and despite taking damage they Loot is recovered. This scenario had lots of special rules and events making it very narrative but also tactical. Do I take out the patrol boat before the convoy turns up and doing chase the civilian ships.
Boats
I've painted up everything for the troubled sky campaign, I just need to finish posting that progress. I never go into how I paint things because I'm not the best painter. But here are my boats. These are weaponless civilian vehicles that in game provide no real protection for anyone on board 
Two of the same model painted differently 
Mine launcher
For my mine layer I went for a more industrial rusty look. It drops balloon mines that drift about the table
I painted some messages on the balloons such as bang
Scenario three
Now our captain has his tug back he leads his crew to steal a transcontainer vessel from the docks. The vehicle is locked in place and can only be freed from the harbour masters office which is under guard and the area patrolled by company forces. So break into the office unlock the vessel and snatch it and any Loot on the way
The tug has been upgraded with weapon positions but the best gun for clearing the enemy off the rooftops is on the wrong side so has no arc
Company and pirate bikes clash as the larger vehicles move in. A gunner users his gocket launcher to blow a hole in the harbour masters door
Docking the tug the crew skirmish with company officers while stealing loot
After seeing off the company bikes the pirates get too close to a truck which rams a bike out of the sky.ck 
Soldiers fire from the truck but are killed by the harassing pirates 
After releasing the transcontainer the pirates board their shuttle and evacuate, trading shots with the company truck 
The truck slams on hover mode knowing that the pursuing bikes have to take a compulsory move forward smashing into it's rear and both spin away taking damage
Despite freeing the transcontainer the pirates still had to board it and successfully start it up. If took three turns of bad rolls to finally take off with their prize before company reinforcements arrive.Trucks and landing barges
Finishing my company vehicles for the starter missions I have a small fleet of trucks and a couple of troop carriers
These bargers look great full of men ready to board a pirate vessel
