SKy Martians Attack!
« on: 09 March 2013, 06:16:50 PM »
We are currently playtesting our VSF rules mash up (based on Sharp Practice) entitled Red Planet Rumpus/Fifty Shades of Red which we intend to use at Salute where we will be displaying Jim Bibbly's Oshiro Models splendid terrain and our Red Planet Miniatures.

Here are a few photos from a recent encounter between  Japanese infantry (with steam support in the guise of a tank and Impervious suit) tasked with defending a Martian farmstead from attack by the indigenous Sky Martians.















Did the Japanese manage to hold the farmstead ???

But they're only Japanese.

After all, they don't play cricket.
