All Quiet On The Martian Front

I have always been interested in HG Wells book War of the Worlds. I grew up reading that book and seeing the 50's movie and have always been fascinated with what would happen if Martians really attacked us.

I saw this game "All Quiet on the Martian Front" when it was on Kickstarter a few years ago. I won't go into detail on how that KS went, as I didn't participate in it. After reading lots of postings about people playing the game, and seeing pictures, I grew more and more curious about this game. Sadly it was out of print when I started looking at getting into the game. then I had the opportunity to buy a LARGE lot from someone who went in on the KS really heavy. He just wanted what he paid for the stuff and very little of the stuff was assembled. Needless to say I started hoarding money away for this and made the purchase.


Now you're thinking, why would you do that if it's out of print Jason? Well, its not anymore, another company bought all the rights to the IP and has started to produce the models again! So now I'm going to be involved in both Flames of War and AQMF.
