5150 New Beginnings AAR: COPS: New Hope City Edition

This is a solo game using the current incarnation of 5150: New Beginnings. For this game I am taking on the role of the New Hope PD in the persons of officers Bain and Suerte as they attempt to arrest a known villain, Raven. Raven is wanted for robbery and we received a tip that she is currently in the local Terracreds ordering a latte.

Turn One

The officers crossed the street and approached Terracreds. I planned to send Suerte around to the back door and then have Bain enter by the front door and effect the arrest.

The PEF from section 7 exited the building and headed our way.

Turn Two

The PEF activated first and continued towards us. It was revealed to be a couple of shoppers. However as this was our first PEF revelation of the game we had to see if our Intel was good.

It was not. Well it was almost good.

Raven made us and exited the front door of Terracreds, MP's blazing!

This generated an In Sight test with my boys counting as the active figures. Dice were rolled and Raven scored best passing 3 dice. Bain passed 2 and Suerte none, meaning he would not be able to fire.

Fortunately Raven fired wildly missing one and all. Bain shot so well I was able to pick the impact point, hitting Raven in the chest and putting her Out of the Fight.

It was all over.

Bain acquired 10 fame points and Suerte 5 from this escapade.

Raven recovered from her wounds and faced trial for Attempted Murder, Resisting Arrest, and Robbery. 

She managed to cough up the funds for respectable representation and beat the charges of Attempted Murder and Robbery.

Unfortunately for her, she was convicted of first degree Resisting Arrest and sentenced to Death...

Sentence to be carried out in 3 months. She may attempt an appeal.

She fought the Law and the Law won.

Fun game. Fast playing.  I'm sure you all will love it when it is released.
