The Martians are coming: on into Africa

The Martians were not to strike in England again, but struck deep in the heart of Africa, in the darkest misty jungles, the jungles where the unbelievable was real. The local population assembled what forces they could, dinosaur behemoth and the wildest of beasts, and began the wildest incantations in the hope that their God the great Kong would come to their aid.

The Lost Worlds army:

1 x warband general
3 x warband
1 x dinosaur behemoth
1 x magician
1 x God (they hoped)1 x beasts
2 x Lurkers

The Aliens mustered:

1 x hero general
2 x walker behemoth
4 x blades
2 x shooter

The view from behind the defensive deployment of the Lost Worlds defenders

Off the table were the mighty Kong, the God, and the two lurkers

In the second turn the defending magician managed to ensorcel the Martian hero general, a good start

The Lost Worlds stronghold.. soon to be in the centre of the action

The Alien blades advance to contact

Thew walkers advance to cross the river, threatening the magician, defended by the behemoth

The first lurker is deployed against the advancing Martian blade, caught in the forest

The Lurker is sent fleeing

Another blade enters the forest and the second lurker is deployed


However the Martian hero managed to emerge from ensorcellment, and found himself in contact with the enemy stronghold.

and the defenders' stronghold is taken. 

The mighty Kong had not answered their calls, had forsaken his worshippers, and the Martians had a foothold on earth. Now no-one was safe. 

This was not over .....
