ARMIES OF THE GREAT INTERPLANETARY WAR

T H E A R M I ES O F T H E M A R T I A N I N V A D E RS
Without a doub,t the Martian invaders laid their plans for Earth many years ago and what fate they have in store
for mankind is only now becoming apparent. The aliens undoubtedly learned a great deal from their first foray
against England at the end of the nineteenth century. The second invasion of Earth was infinitely better
prepared and when it came, it did so in great strength. As with the original Martian invasion, the main fighting
arm of the aliens takes the form of gigantic Tripod machines piloted by a single Martian. Tripods carry a variety
of different armaments. The Heat Ray remains the most devastating of their weapons, but is supplemented by
new gases designed to exWHUPLQDWHKXPDQ¶SHVWV·DQGGULYHWKHPIURPWKHLUUHIXJHV All Martian forces operate
from huge crater-like settlements, called Redoubts. Redoubts are protected by static defenses of different kinds.
The exact nature and extent of these defenses are still uncertain. That the Martians are able to learn and adapt is
evidenced by the appearance of Zombie Slave troops. This is a ghoulish and terrifying development that
threatens to counter the advantage humans have in the close confines of urban warfare.

TRIPODS

The most feared and hated of all the Martian machines of war are the towering Tripods. These vast machines
stand fully forty feet tall and each carries a single Martian pilot. The alien occupies a sealed cabin covered by an
armored hood, from which hangs a number of coiling metallic tentacles that are incredibly strong and dextrous.
With these tentacles, the Martian pilot can direct the Tripod to pick up objects or push aside obstructions in its
path. Beside these appendages, the Tripod has two larger arms that carry weapons of one sort or another, most
commonly the Heat Ray Projector, but sometimes the Black Dust Dispenser or Green Gas Emitter. The whole
machine is carried along upon three tall legs. vTripods are superbly balanced machines that move with great
speed and surety ² they are not lumbering monsters as many who have never seen one in action often imagine.

The Black Dust Dispenser and Green Gas Grenades are alternative weapons that the Martians use to winkle out
infantry from amongst ruins and bolt-holes. They are both Barrage weapons ²so they use the Barrage template ²
and they both have the Miasma special rule, which means the shooter ignores the usual cover modifiers where
the target is in hard or soft cover. The Black Dust is a choking dust cloud, which has the advantage of covering
a larger area. The Green Gas is an extremely corrosive green fog that dissolves flesh and organic tissue, which
has the advantage of a high Power bonus.

When damage is inflicted upon a Tripod, roll on the Tripod damage table to determine what happens to it. A
Tripod may be destroyed, incrementally damaged or disabled as described on the table ² see pXX. If a Tripod
suffers a reduction of its Armor stat, it is necessary to record this in some way; you can either note it down or
place a suitable marker by the Tripod to indicate that its armor is weakened.

SPECIAL RULES

Sweep - A Heat Ray can make a sweep attack using the Sweep template. This is positioned in the same way as a

A Heat Ray cannot sweep onto an element where the line of sight is blocked for whatever reason. For example,
it will not sweep through a hill to reach an element on the other side ² the hill blocks the line of sight and
therefore also blocks the Heat Ray. If the line of sight to an element is blocked in this way, then the Heat Ray
cannot harm it even where the template passes over it.
SCOUT TRIPOD

Not long after the initial Martian attacks, observers began to notice the appearance of a smaller, more lightly
built Tripod. These nimbler machines were often to be encountered in the vanguard of the enemy forces,
ranging ahead of the main body to scout out defenses and identify targets. For this reason, these smaller Tripods

SPECIAL: Targeter Arm: A Martian Scout can be equipped with a Targeting arm. This device illuminates
targets for Martian Barrage Weapons like the Grenadier Tripod, making their Barrages more accurate and
therefore more effective. (FINAL RULES IN TESTING)
HARVESTER TRIPOD

It was not long after the first Martian attacks that it became apparent what fate the invaders had planned for the
human race: humanity would be enslaved as mere food animals. Soon, the Martians began to actively gather up
human captives and herd them into their redoubts where the aliens sucked their bodies dry. Ghastly as this is,
worse things were to come, for plainly the Martians studied their captives in order to discover what further uses
WKH\FRXOGPDNHRIWKH(DUWK·VQDWLYHLQKDELWDQWV These studies were to lead to the development of Zombie
Slave troops. Today, the Martians herd human captives towards the great pits to be rendered into sustenance,
turned into Zombie Slave WURRSHUVRUHOVHVXEMHFWHGWRWKHSHUYHUVHH[SHULPHQWVRI(DUWK·VQHZPDVWHUV

The Harvester Tripods gather up human captives and grinds them into pulp. This pulp is then processed within
the Harvester itself creating the nutrient fluid that is the sole form of food for the Martians. They carry a less
powerful version of the Heat Ray for self defense. They are usually accompanied by other kinds of Tripods for
protection.

FOUNDER TRIPOD

It is only recently that human reconnaissance units first spotted this heavy, bulky Tripod and some doubt exists
as to what role it plays in the Martian war effort. It carries no weapons and is always escorted by other Martian
machines, which gather around it, protecting the larger Tripod from attack and hiding it from prying eyes.
Many human scientists maintain that these Tripods transport the means to establish a new Martian colony, and
hence the name Founder Tripod. Whether these Founder Tripods are WUDQVSRUWLQJDVLQJOH0DUWLDQ¶PRWKHU·
creature, or clutches of immature Martians, or some other means of establishing a new Martian population, is
unknown at this time.

SLAVE DRIVER TRIPOD

Martian Zombie Slave troopers are directed by Martian Slavers. Slavers control machines that resemble the
carapace portion of a Tripod, but which are carried along upon six short legs. Although not especially rapid,
these machines are quite as fast as the Zombie Slave troopers they herd into battle. It is unclear how the Slave
Driver controls their Zombie Slaves ² and common talk is of some kind of mind-control ray that enables a
Martian to move his troopers as if they were puppets. Slave Driver machines are used to drive Zombies Slaves
into cover to root out hidden human troops and ambushers. For this reason, they are armed with short ranged
blasters, which are especially effective against unarmored targets.

ZOMBIE SLAVE SQUAD

Zombie Slaves are the latest and most horrifying development of the alien invader: human captives cruelly
turned to living corpses controlled by their Martian masters. These ghastly creations have been developed to
counter human infantry, which the Martians find practically impossible to identify amongst the rubble and ruin
of the urban battlefield. +RZHYHULIWKDWLVLQGHHGWKHDOLHQV·LQWHQWLRQ=RPELH Slaves are little more than
shuffling automatons, lacking even the basic instincts of the human soldier to keep to cover and avoid detection.
Slow and cumbersome, Zombie Slaves are easily dealt with except in overwhelming numbers and rely upon the
instructions of a Martian Slave Driver in order to perform even the most basic tasks.

Although some Zombie Slaves appear to be entirely unarmed, most carry a simple, short-ranged weapon, which
fires a hail of energy blasts ² though usually not very accurately. 7KHVHZHDSRQVDUHVLPSO\FDOOHG¶EODVWHUV·E\

As well as their war machines, the Martian cylinders brought other and even stranger machinery to Earth.
Unlike Tripods, which commonly appear at the forefront of battle, these machines are rarely seen amidst the

that given by humans to these kinds of machines. Though sharing a common appearance in general terms,
Constructor Engines are readily adapted to serve a variety of purposes. What exactly these are only the
Martians know for sure, but without doubt, it is these machines that enable to Martians to raise their formidable
redoubts, to tunnel beneath the ground, to mine and fashion the metal they need and to build other machines
including the mighty Tripods.

Constructor Engine - When damage is inflicted upon a Constructor Engine, it is not automatically destroyed,
instead roll a die and consult the following chart. As with other damage tables, add the power of the weapon to
the roll on this chart.

9 1-3 - The Constructor Engine is damaged and its Armor stat is reduced by 1.
9 4-9 - The Constructor Engine bursts apart leaving a pile of twisted metal and a cloud of pinkish vapour,
it is destroyed!
9 10+ - The Constructor Engine is destroyed. Any construction or element it is currently working upon is
also destroyed unless several Constructor Engines are working on the same construction, in which case
all the participating Constructor Engines must be destroyed to also destroy a partly built construction.

SPECIAL RULES

Repair - During its combat phase, a constructor engine can attempt to repair any single damaged Martian
Tripod or Martian machine it is touching. It cannot do this and do anything else in the Combat Phase. Roll a
die. On the score of 6-10 the repair is successful and 1 point of Armor is restored to the damaged
Tripod/machine. On a score of 1-5 the repair is not complete and there is no effect. Repairs over several turns
can potentially restore a badly damaged Tripod/machine to its original Armor value. A Constructor Engine can
attempt to repair itself if it is damaged, but it cannot then repair any other damaged Tripod/machine at the same
time. Several Constructor Engines can potentially work on the same damaged Tripod/machine at the same
time, enabling more than one point of Armor to be restored in a turn. Martian constructions, including those
described as exceptional units, can also be repaired in the same way if they have an Armor value that can be
reduced as a result of damage. No Tripod, machine or construction can be repaired once it is destroyed!

Build/Mine - In some scenarios, Martian Constructor Engines are allowed to build during the game, mine for
resources or undertake other specific tasks. Depending on the game, they may be allowed to build static
defenses or machines of one kind or other. The rules for this vary depending upon the scenario being played ²

take time to recharge between blasts, giving the bravest a chance to counterattack during the power up gap ² if
they can overcome the multiple heat rays.
