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! :)
