Yes, but can it battle Martian tripods?

Check out the name of this boat design. Those of you that are familiar with the H.G. Wells novel "The War of the Worlds" will get it immediately.

Shoot, now I need to go find my book. Wait, didn't they rewrite that book a couple of times?

Still my favorite version:  (and yes I know that F-100s weren't the movie...I took some artistic license building this    )

I do believe that Thunderchild eventually rammed one of the Martian Tripods before it was itself destroyed.

something like this, perhaps?

Heinous.

We need faster acting germs.

Armor piercing, HE, and fragmentation.

Damn you guys. I really want to dig out my copy of the JWWOTW game from '98 now, but I don't have functioning CD drive. :(

Really wish they'd make a movie of this but set at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, not these bloody 'modern era' ones, and especially without any annoying AF emo teens like the 2005 one.

Yes exactly what I had envisioned, sadly in the story-line we lost one good warship for only one enemy tripod taken out. A brave and valiant effort by Thunderchild but also a costly one.!!!!!!

there is an English version, set in the proper 1898/99 time frame.

iirc, it's a straight to DVD release. I own, and it's "OK"; the CGI leaves a lot to be desired...but, as a period piece,......

You guys might want to have a look at the BBC's mockumentary "The Great Martian War".

[Skyviper]

Interesting.
