Preparations: "Let's Kill Hitler" Scenario for Doctor Who the Miniatures Game
Update: April 3, 2020
Sadly due to the Covid-19 Virus (Coronavirus) Cangames 2020 has been cancelled and will not be held again until next year in May 2021. I have been informed the theme of "Portals / Lets Get Hitler" will remain the same for Cangames 2010 so my scenario will also remain the same with a new target date for mid-May 2021. On the bright side it gives me more time to work on the buildings.

Cangames 2020 - Let's Kill Hitler Game plans: March 16, 2020
My original plan for Cangames 2020 (May 15-17, 2020) Doctor Who game,was to run a continuation of my game from the 2019 Convention where the Sea Devils captured the Naval base, this year the Human forces would attempt to retake base from the Sea Devils. However my plans have changed, and I will join in with other members of the Ottawa Miniature Gamers Club to run a series of connected games with the themes "Get Hitler" and "Portal".
The game will be very loosely based / inspired by the Doctor Who episode "Let's Kill Hitler" featuring the 11th Doctor, Amie, Rory, River Song and Hitler.

The Let's Kill Hitler scenario will be set in Berlin in the spring or summer of 1945, the Master has attempted to alter History by helping the Nazis, including creating lizard troops for them and extending the war. His latest intervention is restoring a time portal recovered from a Polynesian Archeological expedition that Hitler could use to escape his defeat and restore the Third Reich. But the portal is unstable and up for grabs in the game as the Allies close in on Hitler and the 11th Doctor attempts to foil the Master's plans. The portal might also allow things from other times and dimensions to enter Berlin. Tracking down Hitler will be challenging for the Allied side as there will likely be decoys, possibly 4 Hitler's with only one being the real Hitler..
I have a number of figures and scenery pieces that will work for this theme and a lot of painting to get done. Some examples below:
