The Visitor. A VSF battle (pic heavy)

[BaronVonJ]

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.

The battlefield

French Marines use the Spyder as cover

A British Brute Class Landship steams forward

Unicycle uhlans investigate a crater. Nothing here, sir.

German troops advance through town

The French line

A combined Uhlan-Rokkittruppen assault devastate the British Naval landing troops

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.

[Heldrak]

Very impressive!

Which figure is the alien...?

[BaronVonJ]

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!

[James Holloway]

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.

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.

[Dr DeAth]

Good AAR and a nice collection of minatures you've got there.

[Thunderchicken]

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!
