Re: GURPS Mars Attacks
I think it's a fantastic book. It's what I want out of GURPS: settings, not crunch. My copies of Powers and Thaumatology can sit and gather dust for all I care; give me something I can excite players with!

Re: GURPS Mars Attacks
On the tanks vs. automaton thing, it also stands out that the latter weighs over twenty times what any real-world tank weighs—reinforcing that they're going to be badly, badly outnumbered unless Martian industrial capacity greatly exceeds Earth's.
On the other hand... is there a limit on how many times the automaton can "rocket jump" before needing to refuel? That actually goes a good way towards letting them close distance faster and generally outmaneuver tanks. |

Re: GURPS Mars Attacks
Wrote a review of the book on my blog:
http://blindmapmaker.wordpress.com/2...-mars-attacks/ I know I am late to the party, but I only got my copy last month here in Germany. Short version: A very good setting book - something GURPS desperately needs. It's not quite on the same ready-to-play level as Dungeon Fantasy, but it comes close. Don't make the mistake of thinking this is GURPS Alien Invasions. It deals with one specific setting and most of the crunch and GM advice is there in support of that setting and its style of play. Quite a few bits are useful for other campaigns, though.
