Wargame Vault announces the availability of:

For Queen & Planet – The Martian Punitive Expedition – 1901

For Queen & Planet – The Martian Punitive Expedition – 1901

Publisher: First Command Wargames

Supplemental Scenario Book

A planet to be conquered, vengeance to be wreaked and glory to be won. That is the motivation of the commander of the Martian Punitive Expedition of 1901.

With these rules, you can take the role of the British commander tasked by the Queen with taking the fight to the Cephalopod invaders of Earth. You have been given three Ether flyers and the best soldiers the British Empire could muster, and you are headed to Mars to do the Queen's bidding.

Q&P is designed to balance the mass and ferocity of the local races of Mars against the technology and training of the Colonial powers, and to provide a fair and reasonable struggle for both Imperial General and Martian Odwar.

This is not a stand-alone ruleset and requires:

For Queen & Planet: The Imperial Wars of Earth & Mars – 1845 – 1930

This ruleset does include the following:

  • All rules necessary to play a VSF version of the game
  • An alternative timeline for VSF genre play
  • Unit lists detailing British, Imperial Red Martian, Black Martian, Green Martian, and Cephalopod forces
  • A eight-scenario campaign that will allow you to play your way through the British Punitive Expedition to Mars in 1901, from the initial encounters with Red Martian militia forces all the way through to the final destruction of the British forces on Mars
  • A blank unit command sheet

Campaign Scenarios:

Each of the scenarios in this rulebook is written to be fought as a pure VSF battle. The theme for this scenario book is fairly light-hearted, and many of the scenarios are spun out from scenes from movies that you will likely recognize. So enjoy and have fun, and do not be afraid to develop your own scenarios and share them with us on our Facebook page.
