It's 1898. Clouds of luminous green gas are seen coming from the planet Mars. Earth astronomers are baffled by them as they draw closer over a 10 day period. Then one night the first reaches Earth. A large cylinder impacts in the English countryside outside of Woking and a crowd surrounds it, curious as to what might be inside. Suddenly the end begins slowly unscrewing. After several minutes, the end drops to the ground with a thud and a slimy quivering mass exits. The repulsive creature surveys the crowd then retreats back inside. A moment later something more sinister exits the cylinder and a heat ray is fired into the spectators that have gathered around the crash site. The crowd flees in terror as the Martians have shown their intentions. Later that day, a unit of British artillery arrives and surrounds the cylinder. Little do they know that the Martians were hard at work inside assembling their war machines when a tall tripod crawls from the cylinder and rises up tall above them. The artillery fires! Most of their shots bounce on the armor of these engines of death that are emerging. By that night the troops deployed to deal with the cylinder are decimated and 4 tripods are destroyed. The following day, another cylinder lands in Scotland, presumably in response to their initial defeat. It appears they will fortify here then push down on London after they get their feet under them and amass a larger force. Our forces in England and Wales are being mobilized to deal with this new threat. If our great empire is defeated, the rest of the world will surely follow.
