All Quiet on the Martian Front - USA Forces

I have hardly done any painting this year as have been far too busy with other projects.  But over the past few months I have managed to get a lot more of my USA forces painted.  Still some to paint but so far I now have a reasonable size force.

Turn 1 - Humans

Trucks race to get the crews to the vehicles, All fire and nearly everything misses apart from one MG team who manage to cripple an assault tripod.

Turn 2 - Humans win the initiative

The Trucks continue to race out of the martian path.  Everything fires causing a damage to assault tripods along with a weapons damage and another one with movement problems.  Two drones are also destroyed.

Turn 3 - Martians
