A DM ain't bad. Another option is a semi-random branching path of "events"
Something like:
Start of round: "Martians" are picked randomly from a list of round antagonists
Act 1: "Invasion" is randomly from a list of act 1 events associated with Martians. There is a win condition
Act 2: Another event is chosen based on the Martian invasion plot. It'll be picked from a win or lose list, based on the end result from the last round
Act 3: Same as before
So then it's a matter of setting up all these scenarios and letting them play out. Probably more work than just a simple DM, but more autonomous in the long run
