Dropship Rebooted: The Pipes Are Calling

.

The Duke of Cumberland marched through here during the '45, burnt the Episcopalian Church and subsequently General Wade built a military road into the 'Highlands' going over Cairn O' Mount behind us. Now, I've no interest in refighting the '45 or any other Highlander campaign but Jon at Khurasan Miniatures has just released these superb miniatures which are crying out to be used.

So here's a question for you. Why do aliens always have to invade Earth during the latter half of the C20th and early C21st? Why can't our plucky C18th Heilan' laddies take on an alien scout force of say, Greys? And why do Alien overlords only have primitive alien allies/thralls? Why can't those primitive 'aliens' just be humans from a pre-industrial era? 

There's also opportunity for gaming a time slip. Think Dog Soldiers (2002) but with our erstwhile Toms or even UNIT facing a Brigadoon or 'clan that time forgot' style time anomaly.

Cheers

Mark
