When I was at Cold Wars, I managed to take a couple bad pictures of the models at the Alien Dungeon booth.
Martian Walker |
Baby Walkers? |
Tanks and Artillery |
The next thing to get me all in a dither were pictures and descriptions of the "Rough Riders on Early Harleys." The pics are pretty basic (and they are 15mm, so they can't get too crazy):
Rough Riders - or "Teddy's Own," as they like to call themselves - are some of the bravest (some say foolhardy) volunteers in the army. Operating in small squadrons, they are equipped with grappling launchers. They ride at breakneck speeds on their Harley motorcycles around the feet of the advancing tripods. Once a few grapnels have landed in the works of the Martian machines, the Rough Riders race around in circles, binding the thing's legs together, and getting it to topple, or at the very least be stuck immobile. The tactic does work on occasion, at least enough to inspire more volunteers for the heavy losses incurred by these units.
So essentially the Rough Riders have turned into Snow Speeders toppling AT-ATs in Empire Strikes Back?
Bully!
