crackle-crackle..."Science Division observed several meteorite impacts this evening in Sector 13. One meteor exhibited an erratic flight path upon entry. Dispatch Assault Zepplin Von Seydlitz to investigate. End transmission"....
With this ominous message, the players were tasked with checking out all the impact craters on the table, and returning with anything significant.
The German players got the speed, while the Anglo-French players got the firepower. Both tried to send most of their forces around the flanks. The Germans marched one unit right down the middle of town, supported by a Nightshade created Land Monitor, while the unicycle Uhlans and velocipede swung wide.
The Anglo-French hugged the flanks, only sending Impervious Suits and a lone tricycle rocket battery up he middle.

Unicycle uhlans investigate a crater. Nothing here, sir.

The pilot of a Killenkanner finds a strange craft crashed in the field. An even stranger creature emerges. The Killenkanner pilot "hears" inside his head, "Take me to your leader".

The Empress's Lady Hussars greet the Visitor.

Rokkitruppen mop up.

The ladies blast away at some British troops assaulting the Killenkanner.
With evening waning, the Anglo-French called it quits. Their forces were down to a few contraptions and the Tricycle Rocket team who had only moved 6 inches the whole game.
The Germans escaped with the wreckage of the ship and the strange new Visitor form the sky. What secrets would he bring, and could it turn the tide of the war?
Once again, GASLIGHT, with some of our own tweaks, provided a fun game. It has inspired to work on some new troops and some new weapons......

Nice AAR. When you get to play as little as I do you look forward to other people's AARs.
-
Very impressive!
Which figure is the alien...?
-
Some sort of Heroclix guy I got at a con. He doubles as "Eggsterminator" in our SuperSystem games.

Great report and photos. Thanks for sharing!
-
The Heroclix model is Chang Tzu, who I believe is from the Arkham Asylum set. A lovely use of an odd figure; he fits perfectly into the game!
-
I always like to see Hinterland blasting away in a game. :)

Where did the Brute class come from?
-
Great battle report. :-*
Some really great miniatures showed up to do battle. :D

Where did the Brute class come from?
Looks like a conversion of that Indiana Jones tank that was sold at Disney parks. probably a plasticard box glued on top with a smokestack. Looks the part very well.
-
Good AAR and a nice collection of minatures you've got there.
-
Cracking stuff (pun intended). Some good old fashioned VSF there, lovely eye candy.

Yep I have to agree VSF at its finest. :)

Looks excellent - having never visited a Disney park I hadn't realised they did them.
I'll have to see if there are any on ebay
-
I really like the look of the game with the halftimbered houses and all. Very nice!
-
Very nice AAR. Great table and figures.
-
Are those Prussians from Eureka? The ones that come with a whirrly-gig option?
-
Really great AAR.
Cool story.
Finely painted figures.
What more could one ask for?

Nothing. I couldn't put it better myself. Thank you!
-
I find the steel and grit of the Empress's Lady Hussars truly amazing; if confronted with a face like that, I'm sure my 'welcome' would involve heavy artillery! lol
REALLY lovely work!

Few answers:
Yes, those Rokkittruppen are Eureka
Yes, the Brute is an Indiana Jones tank with plasticard/foamcore build up, but it didn't come from Disneyland.
Most of vehicles are conversions from the Disney Atlantis toys.

Thanks for all the kind words.
As always,

killenkannen! genius. Lovely mini's and scenery. Great report. :D

Since the Visitor looks like an egg, I suppose its flying vehicle was bell-shaped?
(At least in Catholic countries Easter eggs are dropped by the church bells on their flight back from Rome)
