Our first HotT games in a while, and Andy brings along a new army - Martians. The figures are strictly 15mm, but .. hey.. maybe it';s just that Martians are shorter beings than the humans. We decide to pitch my Weird World War 2 Soviet army against them.
The Soviets are:
1 x God (artillery)
1 x Aerial Hero
1 x Flyer (Yak fighter)
2 x Horde
5 x Shooters (SMG troops)
I can't recall Andy's composition, but it included a behemoth in the form of a 'tripod' al la HG Wells, and a Hero.
|
Deployment, with the Soviets (nearest the camera) defending |
|
The Martian invaders, Andy mistakenly deploys the behemoth behind a shooter base locking it in place |
|
The Martian Hero |
|
Soviet Hordes |
|
The Aerial Hero swoops in behind the Martians |
|
And destroys a Marian Shooter base |
|
The two Soviet Horde bases had been s\destroyed, but are redeployed.. there's Hordes of the Things |
|
The Aerial Hero attacks the Martian line from the rear |
|
Hero vs Hero... |
|
They draw, with an odd number, and so both heroes (generals in both cases too) destroy each other |
|
It's getting messy in there |
|
The Soviet troops are getting chewed up.. Da, Tovarishch, but the Martian behemoth loses a combat, with no room to recoil |
|
The Soviet God finally appears |
Finally the Martian army defeats the Soviets.. description is a little thin as we played the game over a week ago, and the memory 'ain't what it used to be'... but what a battle..
Nice one love the new Aliens! :)
