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).

Re: Body Armour
 

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.

It would be super cool, wouldn't it?

Steel Panthers: Clone Wars? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Body Armour
 

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

Re: Body Armour
 

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.

Re: Body Armour
 

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?
