Our FUBAR VSF Christmas game, The Christmas Pudding Factory Incident has been played. Yeah!
Set in 1874 Two Martian Tripod Fighting Machines were pitted against the cream of the British Steam Powered fighting Units!
The Martians were heavily armoured and armed to their rubbery toothless lips with Lasers, Rockets and Black Smoke! Against this the British had Steam Power, Pluck and Courage (what could go wrong!?!)
The fighting was fast and furious, usually I let everyone know the result of our games but sorry this time you'll need to refer to Captain Darling's Blog!
Some pictures to whet your appetite!
Martian Tripods 'Red' and ' Green' on the the Move December 1874!

The situation at the end of Turn Three. The Martians had drawn level with Brunel's bridge and using their Lasers they knocked out an Armoured Wagon on the Human's right flank meanwhile the British Steam Powered Blimps launched their own attack on the Fighting Machines.

Well done.
Great stuff.

Crackin' good tussle!
Of course, damage to art in time of war is a tragedy, but sacrifices must be made.
Sorry, suh, but I don't recall seeing the bomb conveyances before, is there a blog post on construction?
Thanks again!
Doug

Thanks Doug!
The blimps were kits from the now defunct Tobsen77, here my post on them….
