War Of The Worlds Wargaming? All Quiet On The Martian Front Returns! | Designer Interview

Gerry sat down with one of the Abby Normal Media team behind Return Of The Tripods: All Quiet On The Martian Front. Could this new edition be a new breath of fresh air for this awesome 15mm Sci-Fi wargame inspired by the War Of The Worlds and alien invasions from Mars?

Moving the timeline on, the Martians, having been thwarted during their previous invasion of Earth have returned during World War I where humanity has reversed engineered some of the technology to create new and more powerful war machines.

As well as a new set of quick and easy-to-learn rules for playing out your 15mm wargames, Abby Normal Media are also working on some brilliant miniatures for Mankind (the Germans) and the Martians. More is yet to come and this feels like a great passion project from David Pearce and the team.

Will you be checking out Return Of The Tripods?

I was sad to see the original game die off, its great to see it reborn. I'll have to dig out my old minis and add some new germans. Between this and A War Transformed I'm unexpectedly getting heavily into alt-WW1 games, not that I'm complaining as its quite a cool, previously underutilized setting.

They got me! Just pledged for some Martians vs. Pickelhaube.

A FEW WKS ago I got quite excited as Little Wars TV did a video: called: Fall in 2023 Convention Recap, about half way through - ish they showed off a game table of David Hill a veteran GM who had a little game going on, Called: All Quiet on the Martian Front. Holy Moley, talk about coincidences. Tripods, LAND DREADNAUGHT’S tanks & small soldiers in 15mm scale. After further research, I found out this game has been around for at least 10 yrs.
I even watched a video of a guy who made a Tripod from a spray bottle nozzle & reinforced bendy straws for legs 👍 Trouble is I couldn’t find any 15mm ww1 miniatures, only ww2 flames of war 🤔 UNLESS Gerry knows who makes ww1 15mm miniatures & tanks 🤔🤔🤔

Oh Wow! Panzer Leader and Panzer Blitz

Very cool game! Love the idea of the tripods.
Sadly nobody plays it in my area of Scotland so $300+ shipping is just too steep of an investment. It is great to see the game has fulfilled. Maybe get into it one day

[MrSkabrus]

I hope we see the factions we couldn" t see in the original game

[leesweeney]

Nope.
All I see is someone who bought stolen goods and is reselling it.
Too many folks lost money last time this was on KS.

It screams TRAP.
