War of the Worlds 1938

Tanks moving forward.
Some infantry support.
Tanks get beat up even in training.
Infantry moving through the tanks while the tanks stop and provide long range fire support.

 The infantry are a mixture of Hat WWI US Army and Strelets Early WWII US Army for my 1938 US Army.  In 1938 Orsen Wells did a radio broadcast of an adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel War of the Worlds.  Some people actually thought the Martians had really landed in Grovers Mill, New Jersey.  So I thought it would be cool to build an army to fight those Martians using a combination of toys from 1938, and some new ones too.  You can listen to the broadcast for free here on youtube.  I like it.
