As some of you may know I invested in the Kickstarter of the game "All Quiet on the Martian Front". I've been painting my fingers off to get stuff to the table. On the July 21st Scott came to town, so I called Danny and after dinner with my wife we hit the basement for some Interplanetary Warfare. The war begins somewhere in SE Michigan........
 |
US Forces assemble near a farm
|
 |
The Martians approach.
Two Assault Tripods and a Scout
|
 |
MOVE OUT!!
|
 |
| The Martians sweep around a woods..... |
 |
| .....Advance on a farm..... |
 |
| And draw first blood!! The two Platoon Mates of the burning tank turn and run! |
 |
| The Martian Overlord gloats, "You puny Humans are no match for my Intellect or Warmachines!!" |
 |
| But the Humans came to fight. They line up and....... |
 |
| BOOM!!! |
 |
| KA-POW!!!! |
 |
| KA-BLEWIE!! |
 |
| Unphased by the destruction of the Scout, the Martians begin to flank the Humans Battle Line. |
 |
| The Infantry begin to pour out of the buildings |
 |
| REMEMBER MEMPHIS!! |
 |
| The Martians are relentless in their attack. They begin sweeping their Heat Rays across the Human tanks turning them into piles of melted steel. |
 |
| The Infantry tried a last ditch assault, but to no avail. The Martians finished off this delaying force and continued their advance on the nearby city...... |
Our first game of AQMF was in the can and we had a blast, I ran the game while Scott and Danny played. They both enjoyed it, made some mistakes, learned a few things and the battle actually swung momentum twice. When the Humans broke (3 of 5 units destroyed) the Martians were only one Tripod destroyed away from defeat. And Scott had a Tripod that was seriously beat up.
I plan on paining a few more units before our next game.
Stay tuned.......
Rad blog format -- it looks fantastic. Thanks for the battle report too, well done. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Central California.
