It has been a while since the Martians have seen the table. Garth and I put together a quick, 100 point game, using both the new terrain rule placement, and a randomly rolled mission. link Using the beta test rules, which emphasizes the War against the Martian in Europe and Asia, with the German Army. Since I don't have any German tanks, we as substituting the American Mk IV's. |

Makes me want to get out all my old models from AQMF. I gave up on the rules, and instead have converted Battlefront WWII to cover the conflict. It took some fiddling to get the tripods and other Martians into the mechanics, but the core mechanics handle combined arms well. |

We still like the game, never saw why people poo-poo the rules. Simple, fun with much fist shaking and taunts all around…. |

All in all a good game. Humans need to be patient. Martians need to priorities targets. New edition is slow to market, losing followers every day. |

I've got a bunch of these guys painted, but never played. Are there still rumors of a version 2 of the rules? |

I wanted to get into this when it first came out. Played a few games and was dismayed at it, (I think more to the person running the game than the rules as it seemed very static) and then the game failed. I've been patiently waiting for the "New Rules" to be released but the feeling is that I'm just getting strung along. People who have been waiting for it are simply now getting tired of waiting…. |

The new owner has had the rules for several years, but there has been recent movement on them. Beta test versions 1.1 through 1.4 have been getting tested from Nov last year till last month. The current status is the rules are now locked down. But I have no information on publish date or new figures. |

Thanks for the update, PHGamer. And thanks for posting the game! |

The game owner is starting a new kickstarter at the end of October. Looks promising. |
