After the Martians succeeded in crossing the Mississippi River 15 miles north of Memphis they began their turn south towards Memphis upon reaching Highway 51. The Wolf River ran west to the Mississippi River essentially forming the northern defense perimeter of Memphis. Wolf Crossing was the name provided to a fortified position on the north bank of the river. This position protected the bridges of Highway 51 and the Southern Railroad as they leave Memphis and run north just a few miles east of the Mississippi River. The position included trenches, 5 and 7 inch gun turrets, heavy machine gun towers, and a command communication tower with an elevated artillery observation tower. Unfortunately the usual infantry and artillery compliment was pulled out to face a Martian diversionary attack. What was left was three small squads of experimental heavy infantry in their new Westinghouse self contained anti gas-suits and armed with 50 caliber rifles. link

A fantastic game and I feel honored that it was inspired by my book series, The Great Martian War. |
