Has anyone thought about taking the Martian Wars to the enemy on Mars?
No idea how that would work, but it seems like it could be a fun game twist in and of itself.
Thoughts on what it would look like, and how things would have to change rules wise to fight on Mars?

Well we would have to get there first. I just don't see that happening in 1910. Maybe with German scientists in say the late 40's or 50's.
If it is in the 50's I think we would fire rockets with nukes, but landing on Mars even nowadays is not going to happen. Unless we figure out how they are doing it!

That’s what the game Martian Empires does

Is it possible to get a concise backstory on the Martian Empires storyline? I am late to the ME party,

That’s what the game Martian Empires does Yes, that was my initial thought as well, except that game is more of a Colonial style wargame. I was thinking more along the lines of porting AQMF to Mars...... |

Quite a bit has already been done using the AQMF infantry rules. Infantry is still infantry and SMGs/MGs and artillery are pretty much the same, just more of them. Motorized vehicles underwent the greatest evolutionary changes.. Probably the biggest changes for vehicles would be larger intake and exhaust to accommodate the lower density "air" and reduced oxygen content.
All of that is a long way of saying motorized warfare would likely be very similar enough to AQMF to use those figures. Aircraft would need wings about 3 times the size of ones for Earth.
Correction on atmosphere density: Martian atmospheric pressure at the surface is about 6 millibars versus about 1000 millibars at earth's surface. That is about 6/1000 of earth.
This would make it necessary to have wings about 166 times the area of earth or dimensionally about 13 times larger in all dimensions. This is where some "literary license" might be needed.

If would be kind of neat to find out that the Martian Tripods were not the only civilization on Mars. I believe this is the case with Martian Empires as well.
