The evil and vile Earthmen, Terry's Glatz-Leuthans & Bob's new Germans, had to enter from the South and Western road ends and exit the North road with a decent amount of troops. The Martians would enter from the North and the Eastern desert. 3 Martian players vs 4 European players. People kept showing so we happily shared the troops and vehicles.
Opening view from the West and my German Zeppelin.
Earth Forces in the South. Note the new german Walker. The Ironclad figures work well for this scale.
Terry's mythical state of Glatz-Leuthen, a carry over from his Charge games.
A modge podge of Austrians and exiles mixing for over 2 centuries.
Martian Forces on the North edge.
Martian Horde entering from the East. Plenty of big Green tribesmen and Bob's newest lancers.
The Green Tribes were out to wreck revenge on the Glatz military order cav for previous wrongs. They even took tim out to take trophies.
Ah the cav in all it's glory!
Dan wasted no time pushing the walker and the Glatz Highlanders to the front.
This small village would trade hands several times before German Rocket troops, on the left, finally decided to give it up.
We used the slightly larger March or Die German gasmask troops as rocket troopers.
They were quite effective but eventually numbers told.
Never fun being charged by Green Tribal Cavalry! The Zeppelin also took a lot of fire from the Martian Airships this turn and lost rudder control. Ended up moving in random directions for the rest of the game.
This powerful but slow moving force of Martians managed to break most everything in it's way, the askari taking major punishment. But being newly painted figs we expected their certain doom.
Dan and Doug reach the North road but with too few troops as airships and cav continue to harass their troops.
It was a very fun game! Bob and I keep painting more stuff and now it looks as if Doug will be raising some Japanese for Mars. I also feel the need to add even more terrain! Everyone keeps asking about the canal, it's coming!
