IIRC, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

There was some I believe German-made (I specifically recall unit names in German) mod for mebbe even good ole' Steel Panthers 2 themed on War of the Worlds, generally WotW redux with more Martian units (not just tripods) and also nice steampunk Terran units (steam tanks etc).

Ha ha! The question I was too scared to ask!

It was that thought that made me ask about body armour in the first place, as I was half tempted to have ago at a mod myself.

Stars Wars and Steel Panthers would be very interesting. But themClone soldiers (and Stormtroopers) wear armour, dammit!

If any of you have read Harry Turtledove's The Worldwar series he does a very nice alien invasion series.
basically he gives the aliens modern weapons and sets the scene in 1942.
PzKw IIIh VS M1A1HC isn't much of a fight, but compared to the invaders there are of course LOTS of them.
And tho we can't model air-to-air combat Spitfires don't handle radar guided missles very well.
Infantry wise it's not too bad a match up but fire support (counter battery fire, attack helos, etc) give the aliens a good many edges.

Sounds good, but I'd really want to be able to have significant differances in infantry. I know its meant for vehicles, but I wonder if the 'survivability' field affects infantry as well?
