Re: War of the Worlds

I've always found it interesting that each generation
of Martians would be destroyed by the next generation
of Humans.

1890's Martians vs 1930's Radio show Humans
Original Martians walkers would have been wiped out
by light anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns. Martian
nest would have been devistated by indirect artilery
fire.

1930's Radio show Martians vs 1950's Movie Humans
Nukes would have destroyed any Martian nests while
tanks and hand carried anti-tamk weapons from 1950's
should have been able to take out the walkers.

1950's Movie Martians vs 2000's Humans
Neutron weapons (nukes) should be able to take the
nests force fields and if not then random fired
tactical nukes should be able to get past the
force fields.
Remote fired anti-tank weapons could fire up as soon
as glider (walker replacement) was passing over. 
Alternate is to repalce AT weapon with a thousand
pound bomb (oe equivalant in explosives).
