Spearhead from Space Part 1

Inspired by Forces TV replaying old episodes of Doctor Who, I dug out some figures and created some crews to recreate a game inspired by the 3rd Doctors era.

The premise was simple, a crystal containing a fragment of the Nestene Consciousness had landed in the vicinity of an old farm. Both UNIT and the Autons knew the rough whereabouts of the crystal and sought to acquire it.

Possible locations for the crystal were represented by a green token. The token would require a hard task search for any non-alien and an easy task search for any alien.

An Auton inflicts a wound on Captain Yates.
The first turn was spent moving around the board.

Autons come under fire from UNIT.
With the opposing crews coming within sight of each other, shots were exchanged. UNIT troops inflicting some early wounds.

The Brigadier discovered the missing crystal. This alerted the Autons, and they headed in his general direction.

The Brigadier raced out of the farm building, grasping the crystal. It looked like UNIT would be the early victors. However, UNIT joy turned to dismay as the Autons managed to shoot and knock the Brigadier 'Out of the Fight'. The crystal was up for grabs again!

The loss of the Brigadier incensed UNIT. Sergeant Benton ran towards the crystal, only to be shot down by the Autons.
 
The Doctor rushed to the scene. An Auton shot at the Doctor, inflicting an 'Out of the Fight' result, which got downgraded to a wound. Unfortunately, the Auton's second action was another successful shot which did send the Doctor 'Out of the Fight' this time.

Elsewhere, Sergeant Benton fought the Auton Leader for ownership of the crystal, eventually winning in close combat.
 
UNIT formed a human barrier between the Autons and the crystal. Both sides exchanging shots and inflicting wounds.


At the 3rd attempt, Captain Yates managed to grab and secure the crystal. The remaining UNIT troopers managed to see off the last Auton, securing a win for UNIT.
