No one would have believed in this century that the world was
being watched keenly and closely by an intelligence greater than man; and
that while men busy themselves about their various concerns they
were scrutinized and studied...
..yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours
are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and
unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and
surely drew their plans against us... -H.G.Wells

It
started just like any other day... The sun came up,
people showed up to play, and the alien invasion force
landed.
The Invasion force was comprised of two units of the most
feared alien species in the galaxy - the Earth Annihilators
and the 3rd Rock Rollers.
Earth was represented by the National Guard, 158th Regiment
(Bushmasters), and a specialized Counter ET Unit. |

As
late as the middle of Game One (around 10:30 am) Pentagon
officials were still in denial over the existence of alien
life. So the mission was to gather soil samples from
crop circle landing sites and photograph newly discovered
ruins with alien hieroglyphs.
The need to go on a mission to prove the existence of the
aliens seemed pointless to many of the humans, however,
since they were under fire from alien invaders! |

In
Game Two, a massive radiation leak at Roswell Air Force Base
awakened hordes of hibernating (presumed to be dead) aliens
buried under the desert. They took over the Base and
using the tank, captured most of the strongholds held by the
Earth Resistance.
By Game Four, the Aliens had gained momentum and for the
first time had a higher score than the Earth team.
And then a deranged scientist escaped from a military mental
ward, and hid in the tower at Roswell. He carried a
computer disk with the genetic sequence for a virus lethat
to aliens. Armed and dangerous, he took out many
players before successfully being apprehended.

In
Game Five the Earth prevailed in the last great battle
between humanity and the aliens. Although we credit
the humans with banding together and making a convincing
comeback, lets not forget that the aliens had lost many
players and were outnumbered (must have been the alien flu).
151 played in the Alien Invasion, with a final score of 100
- 67. |
