As members of the Portable Wargame Facebook page will know, old friend Nick Huband has devised a variant of the PORTABLE WARGAME rules for refighting battles from H G Wells' WAR OF THE WORLDS and has already been playtesting them.
The might of the British Army take on two Martian War Machines.
The Martian War Machines.
After my recent blog post about HDMS Tordenskjold being the possible source of the design of Wells' HMS Thunder Child, Nick has sent me some photos of the models he has for refighting the battle between the Martians and HMS Thunder Child, and these are shown below:
The Royal Navy begins its attack on the Martian War Machines.
A paddle steamer full of civilians attempts to get past the Martian War Machines.
HMS Polyphemus ... or is it HMS Thunder Child?.
A Cyclops-class Coastal Defence Ironclad ... or is it HMS Thunder Child?
A closeup of a Martian War Machine..
I understand that Nick is now looking for a suitable model of HDMS Tordenskjold to add to his collection ... and perhaps she will be the definitive HMS Thunder Child!
