Maybe some Mark IV tank variants. A tank with a Tripod gun.
Martian infantry, yes infantry!! Be they human slaves/followers, a sub species, or something sent by Mars.
More cool background history. Mr. Scott's version hopefully.

I would like to see a good game system attached to the rich storyline we already have. I would like to see that storyline expanded in areas that weren't covered as much in the original release. I would like to see new units to add to the extensive collection I already have - updated to put the new owner's stamp on it, but not so different that mixing old and new would look odd.
What I don't want to see is the game go down the steampunk route... NO HUMAN TRIPODS! Yes, the Humans would try to investigate, adapt and use captured Martian technology, and we should see some small advancements, but nothing major. But in time, if the Humans survived, they might make some more major advances, but not for this game. Look at what happened to Liverpool when they tried to investigate the Martian engines.
One of the big joys of this game for me is the believability of the setting. Humans can never match the Martian technology, but they are fighting for their lives and have superior numbers on their side. They are doing all they can with what they have to fight for their continued existence.

I'd like to see my Punt Gun and "Martian Ghost" ideas used   (actually willing to talk with devs about these if they are interested just a credit would be cool... and maybe some swag) But on a more serious note i would like to see variety in stats on the weapons between human factions, like maybe German cannons use larger shells so hit harder but have shorter range. and on the note about humans not wanting to mess with tripod power systems, i would agree to an extent, i think humanity would see too much potential NOT to try and figure them out but they would likely take them off the mainland and use islands to run their tests that way if it blew up it would "only destroy an island." that said, i think they WOULD try and figure out how to use drone power systems and while of course they couldn't manufacture them i feel they might be able to use them to power human weapons not knowing the exact timeframe for the new edition id think at best there might be field trial weapons about, although these "field trial" weapons would be exceedingly rare. |

Yes. Something to make human infantry fight on a more even terms.

The Lobototons (Blasters and Slicers) are still in 2nd Edition as well as the Drones. The new rules make them more fun to use and not as restrained. But infantry if ignored by Scouts and Assaults can be taken down by Infantry. I have had a few games where they were down to half strength and the Infantry assaulted and shot at them and killed them. Infantry are great to delay the Tripods or if they ignore them they sometimes find out the hard way. |
