War of the Worlds II

Following the failed Martian invasion of Earth the great powers were able to harness some of the new technology and fearing another invasion from the Red planet set upon taking the initiative and attacking Mars itself.

The Martians were devastated by their defeat and had expended vast amounts of resources in both material and personnell in the failed attack. So depleted was their strength that when the Human forces landed on Mars they were in no shape to mount a defence and instead retreated into their underground cities to regroup.

The Great nations of Earth, finding Mars undefended set about colonising the red planet. While initially cooperating, old tensions soon resurfaced and very soon Mars was carved up as each power sought to establish their own colonies and sometimes this resulted in conflict.

The Battle of Ankut un Parram.

The British Martian Expeditionary forces that arrived on Mars, also brought along a number of scientists including,
archaeologists and botanists.

The Famed Eygptologist Dr Nathaniel "Digger" Ellinsworth and his daughter Natalie escorted by a detachment of the BMEF including the Landship HMLS Dauntless have discovered an abandoned Martain City near the valley of Ankut un Parram. Their investigations into this city have discovered a Martian power device which luckily is intact and operational. They hope that this power device will prove useful in providing energy to the new British settlement and may also enable the British to use some of the captured Martian Heat ray weapons captured in the failed invasion.

However the British discovery has been leaked to Prussian forces and the small British Camp is attacked by overwhelming Prussian troops lead by their Charismatic leader Count Otto von Stafflen.

While the British and Prussians fight over the power device the Martians have now chosen this moment to recommence offensive operations. Two Tripods that had not been ready in time to take part in the Earth invasion have been completed and they intend to recapture the power device and eliminate both British and Prussian forces.

The Second War of the Worlds is about to begin...

The storyline sounds very cool. I have never gamed this type of Genre before, but it sure sounds like a lot of fun!!  Good luck and hopefully we'll see some pictures from the game in the not too distant future.
