The War of the Worlds is directly based on the famous novel by H.G. Wells!
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire game. You take on the role of commanding the Japans military forces in a desperate attempt to defeat the invading Martian Tripods, while the game system controls the Martian forces!
Japan possessed a small but well-trained military at the time. To reflect this, their Units cost a little more, but also have a better chance to carry out their orders. Their smaller geographical area makes for more intense combat with fewer movement options. The Martians have 3 Tripods in each Wave. Japan only pays 3 PP to build Harbors, and only pay 1 PP to move Units during the Production step. Battles in Japan will be close-in, intense, and highly mobile. Overall, the game will have a frantic feel.
The War of the Worlds is played on a strategic map of Japan. When Martian Tripods and human military forces enter the same Zone, you resolve battle on a tactical map. Deploy your guns, infantry, and cavalry to hold back the Tripods before they devastate all of Japan!
Unique to Japan is smaller-scale, more tactical battles that occur. Waves have fewer Tripods, you produce fewer resources, and every die roll and move must be done with care. To help, Japan has Futabatel, Emperor Mutsuhito, and Shigenobu Okuma. Unfortunately, you must also contend with earthquakes and cholera!
