In the spirit of keeping a discussion going on these forums I would like to post the question of what is everyone's favorite unit in the AQOtMF game? This could be by design, or usefulness, or uniqueness? For me personally, it has to be the steamer tanks, particularly the Mark 2 and 3, I love World War One history and I love that this game breathed new life into these cool designs. I really love how the developer gave the appearance that a base model was improved upon and utilized for several weapons platforms, something many countries have done in the past and are continuing to do today.

Not sure I could choose one thing. But I do like the steamer tanks , the imperial tanks, heavy guns and the standard tripod

I definitely agree on the original Assault Tripods. The British vehicles were a bit too sci-fi for me at first, but the great 'fluff' really helped explain the progressive tech that the BEF could field since they had captured Martian tech!

Steam tanks are a cool alternate history item. Unexpected precursor to the WW-1 tanks.. For the Martians, I agree that the Harvester tripod is the creepiest item. It makes the Martian use of humans for food more believable.

I agree about the harvester, truly terrifying to think it would just nab up people and process them like a crop. Only issue I ever had was that the model eventually destroyed itself. Mine is now a neat piece of terrain.

I really like the MkII steam tank design specifically.
I am also a big fan of the original Assault Tripods. I still use them in other generic sci-fi games too!
Those two units along with the asymmetrical nature of the battles really drew me into the game.

Mark IV for me. Guns everywhere. Can't afford a Land Dreadnought.
For the Martians agree, Harvester tripod!

The MK IV is a beast for sure, I just wish it had a Damage chart or could take two hits, nothing more frustrating than a tripod wasting your 7 inch gun before you get to cook off a killer shot on one.

The Models are what got me interested in All Quiet. I sell my PaperTerrain models at HMGS conventions and when Ernie Baker announced the kickstarter, he was also selling stuff at those conventions and had the prototypes on display and I fell in love at first site. But my favorites? Well, the tripods, of course. What’s not to like? And the models themselves are so open to modifications like putting in lights.
Or turning into wrecks. Still, I think I like the humans’ stuff the best. I always like masses of infantry.
Or masses of tanks!
And who couldn’t like a huge, clanking land ironclad?
Still, my favorite modeling project was the Heavy Field Battery.

It's the background for me and Scott's novels. My favorite unit is the Scout Tripod. I like It's speed and I like using it as a spotter for the Grenadier Tripods.

Scott, those look amazing. I wish I could build my models half as well as you do! There is a real mystic to the designs though!

I love just about all of them. Mk 2's and Mk3's I love, the Infantry and the field artillery. With the Assault and Scout Tripods for the Good Guys.
To be honest, I'm not real fussed with the British Tanks and the ? Mk4 due to the almost WW2 Vibe, For the Martians I think my least Fav is the Dominator.
