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.

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 
Transcontainer
Cago hauler carries a removable container and to help balance it has an unusual angled stand
Company patrol boat
The patrol boar comes in three sections and a gun turret. I went for a battleship grey scheme but a flash of company blue.Scenario two. That's mine
Following from the last scenario our captain users his stolen work shuttle to pursue his impounded tugboat. With the help of a pirate bike scout they track the ship down and attempt to win it back.
With its faster speed the bike race's ahead to distract the company men on the tug boat which takes evasive action
Getting within pishol range the bike aims at the pilot. In the game the pilot goes first before the rest of the crew. Everyone is Individual and if the pilot is killed he needs replacing otherwise the boat will drift
The captain attempts to board his old vessel but thanks to the bikes compulsory move it slams into the shuttle and is destroyed. This doesn't stop the blades lady leaping aboard the tugboat and begin chopping up the company officers. However two company patrol bikes arrive on the scene 
As the crew take their tugboat back they come under fire from the bikes. Using the stolen shuttles tesla cannon they immobilise the bike that flues forward uncontrollably forcing the pilot to restart the engine.
Despite being harassed by the bikes the pirates leave the table after reclaiming their boat. This scenario was all about learning how the ships move and how to conduct a boarding action. I like that pilots are separate go their ships. If they want to abandon ship they can and crew have to occupy gun stations to use them Scenario one
Down in the under docks of the city our fearless crew have become the victims of a sting operation. Their tug boat has been impounded and the company officers are moving in. Spotting a shuttle locked at the end of the pier the crew decide to grab it
Chased by officers the captain lays down some fire at the company men who are only armed with melee weapons. Hardly seems fair but they are pirates
Leading the way the blades lady finds progress blocked by more company men including a soldier who can shoot back.
She cuts up the officer while the pursing company men begin to catch up with the crew at the rear
A melee erupts but the blue coats are defeated. Time to push on
The blades lady falls on the soldier and strikes him down. With no one to shop them the crew head to the shuttle 
More company officers charge fown the pier but they may be too late 
As the blades lady approaches the shuttle she spots an unaware pilot doing some maintenance work 
She sneaks on board and slits his throat 
Yhe captain and surviving crew climb aboard and after a mechanical roll get the vehicle started. They make their escape but now need to find their impounded tug boat
The troubled skies campaign is designed to get you learning the rules. This starter is clearly how to use individual crew on foot a d their combat mechanics. Next mission is piloting skillsBikes
Started on the smaller vehicles with some company jet bikes. They ate on smaller stands and in the rules can pass over the dock terrain.
They have a compulsory move forwards at the start of their movement so you have to careful with your positioning unless you want a collision 
I still have more to do including a sidecar variant
