- Robot Revolt - An "Act of War" mission by Alex Wingrove
- ------------
-
- Contact has been lost with a small, remote colony base (it has been
- scientifically proven that sods law applies to small, remote colony bases.
- No matter how well armed and equiped small, remote colony bases can be,
- they will at some time be attacked by strange cosmic rays, wierd
- trans-dimensional beings or just plain old aliens. This, of course, is very
- handy for sci-fi writters who are hard up for a story line. Indeed, it's
- also pretty good for those making up sci-fi related missions for AoW, like
- me). It is believed that that some strange cosmic ray has sent the robots
- in the colony wild. They have taken up weapons and killed all the
- colonists. Your pitifully small squad must summount all the odds and wipe
- out the evil that threatens this fine non-terraformed moon, all the time
- upholding truth, justice and the american way (sorry, that bit slipped in
- from the most well-known alien invader, Superman :-).
-
- Playing the Mission:
- Well, you sort of load the game and, erm, play it.
- It was designed as a mission to just have a quick bash at when you do not
- feel like battling 30 of the most vile, nasty and down right despicable
- aliens that ever showed their ugly, foul heads in a computer game. For this
- reason, it is not terribly difficult in one-player and could be alright for
- two players.
-
- Designers Notes:
- As you may be able to tell, this is not a 'serious' mission as most of my
- others have been. I started out doing it several weeks ago as a proper
- mission, but now that I have gotten around to finishing it, I wanted to do
- something that did not involved much typing in on the character editor.
-
- For future missions, I hope to do something other than sci-fi, that way I
- can use a plot not even slightly connected with small, remote colony
- outposts.
