Thread: My First Encounter with Martians

  1. #1

    Default My First Encounter with Martians

    Having just finished reading H G Wells's War of the Worlds I was very aware of how dangerous and difficult to kill Martians really are. Zoe Had managed to score a demo copy of the upcoming game of Tripods and Triplanes so I thought it would be a good opportunity to chance my arm against those mechanical monsters. Not exactly pin up girls are they!

    Zoe was in command of a Tripod Mark I and the two humans were flying an N17 Triplane and a Sopwith Triplane.

    My first impression was encouraging as the Martian fired and missed. She then managed to topple over! How easy is this going to be I asked myself as we took advantage to hit the helpless machine.

    Life was not meant to be easy we discovered as the Martian recovered and hit us both with a burst of toxic smoke.

    The Triplane still managed to get off a shot against the metal monster.

    With deadly cold precision the Alien turns her attention to the British plane and hits it hard.

    Looks like some co-op between pilots will be required to subdue the alien.
