Hate to see such a weapon used on a humid day...

TLAM Strike, but does that tripod walk across trees and crush them like matchsticks and is it 'taller than the tallest steeple'?

An M-1 Abrams could easily knock most trees. A Minuteman ICBM about the size of most steeples.

But then War of the Worlds was a product of the time, such things existed only in the Imagination. Today such a invasion is hard to fathom with out it destroying the planet. Oberon have you ever read Footfall? As a War of the Worlds fan I think you would like it, its probably the best most realistic Alien Invasion story ever written.
