Old Glory has (finally) posted production of the various long promised figures for WW1. Visit their site for costs and configurations of the units for the following types.
Causalties (12); Listening Party w/Periscope lookout (4); Stretcher Bears/Doctors/Nurses - two types, one for USA & Brits, the other for French & Germans; 37 mm Light Support Gun and crew (2 guns & 6 crew each) - only for the USA.
Except for the 37mm gun, most of these are 'accent' figures, but I could see the importance of the LPs for adding a +1 or so to the To Hit of a battery and/or early warning (read displaying off board reinforcements of Martians units) on advancing enemy.
37mm Infantry Gun 1 Element Cost 10pts Move 4" Def 5 Arm 4 Rng 20" +1 Pow RF 1 AoE 1" Spec: n/a [cost might be debated, but note that a Heavy Inf. Squad gets three +1 shots]
LP - each turn, roll a d10 - with 6+ forcing Martian player(s) to reveal one unit of off-board reinforcements. This can be as small as a drone squad or a full Tripod unit or specialty tripod (Scientist, Dominator, etc). Used in conjunction with a single artillery battery within 6", add +1 to the To Hit of designated battery. This affect could be extended by adding a radio unit or signals to the spotters (either one in a tank or a command post flag signals unit)
