Last evening the forces of Her Majesty Queen Victoria (Gaud Bless 'Er) Empress of India, Venus and Mars came under attack from native Sky Martians at an encampment 40 miles due west of New Victoria on the plains of Kaa-Nas-Ookta.

Unfortunately the garrison was mostly put to the sword. The only survivors able to escape the massacre were the driver and remaining crew of the Belborough Industries transport vehicle Matilda and Captain Roger Boyes, 1st Btn Grenadier Guards Impervious Suits Division. Although gravely wounded Captain Boyes was able to hide inside the wreckage of his Impervious Suit until the Martians had looted the camp.

Captain Reginald Auffley-Keene of the 10th Bhurpa Rifles, along with a few of his brave Sikhs, were last seen retiring from the fighting in a rallying square apparently making for high ground towards the north of the camp. Their whereabouts is still unknown..

The camp at Kaa-Nas-Ookta

The feared Raas Ak Naa clan move at a frightening speed across the plain towards the camp.

Another as yet unknown clan follows closely behind them.

The alarm is raised and the Naval Brigade rush from their tents.

Captain Roger Boyes struggles to get his Impervious suit started as the Martians rush the barricades.

The Martians hurl themselves upon the Captain, despite the onslaught he manages to throw them off.

But they come again, this time he is wounded as his suit crashes to the ground.

Captain Auffley-Keene orders the Bhurpa rifles into action

They pour volley after volley of disciplined rifle fire into the Martians but they cannot stop the onslaught

They are forced to retire through the tent lines and make a fighting withdrawl from the field

The Martians now turn their attention towards the Naval Brigade.

Surrounded they fix bayonets and are eventually cut down

The effectiveness of Britsih rifle fire.

Ten hits from one volley! Sadly it wasnt enough...

Rather spiffing pictures, old chap!

It appears those dastardly Martian types dont play by the rules.
It seems to me that the buggers just wont lay down and die, the rotters!

It's just not cricket, I tell you!

Now where did I put my fighting trousers.....?

Sharp Practice with suitable modifications.

It's now our rules set of choice, soon to be adapted for Robin Hood as well.

And the mods for steam tech etc worked rather smoothly even though there was only one transport and a suit.

Lovely terrain and miniatures. May the brave lads of the Naval Brigade rest in peace *sob*

Maybe the Sky Martians cam learn to chant "Sic semper tyrannis" as they go into battle!

The colonial types are 0 for "a bunch" right now it seems.

Wow, bad news for the "oppressors" of everything right and red!

Gracias,

Glenn
