Having had a couple infantry based games with the Visitors, I thought it time for the them to crank it up and go on the offensive.
The militia player had to prepare for all round defence of the village from the Visitors and their cleansing and food hunt.

The game starts well for the human militia as the first Visitor APC is stopped in it's tracks by a well placed RPG round. The Visitor squad and Diana dive out of the pack of the APC as more RPG rounds land around the the stalled vehicle.
With their passage blocked the second APC flanks the village and enters into the village from the east. A messy fire fight was taking place as militia men popped up from various windows and door ways.
The Lizards are some evil so and so's they drive into the militia defending the outskirts of the village and catch one of the militia in the backyard of the outer shacks and crush him beneath the tracks of the APC.
The milita head for the high ground and catch the Visitors on the flank, once again Diana is caught in a hail of bullets and is knocked to the ground.
The Visitors push on, into the centre of the village the leader of the militia joins the fights but is forced to dive for cover as his Militia men are cut down by laser fire.
Hearing of Diana's wounding the Visitor APC changes his focus and heads towards their fallen leader.
The Visitors pulled all of their resources to the defence of the fallen leader, whilst the Visitor Shock Troopers held the cross roads they were unable to clear the village in the alloted time.
A cracking evenings gaming...
A near run thing for both sides...

I was just thinking the same thing about Diana, she seems to have been knocked down in every encounter so far....I would be checking who Lydia was communicating with after the final Visitor briefing....could be she is tipping the resistance off in an effort to get rid of her rival!
