Players can build facilities that will extract these resources at a certain rate. Instead, each sector has three resources (Steel, Oil and Coal for the Humans and Heavy Elements, Copper and Human blood for the Martians), in certain levels of abundance. There are no gathering units that manually gather resources, and the resources are not used to build or purchase units. Resource usage is different from the trend of the time. The Martians can build a number of extremely specialised vehicles, varying from the Mind-reading and -manipulating Xeno-Telepath, to the Tempest, an extremely powerful machine that carries two heavy Heat-Rays and black smoke canister launcher.
The Humans can build water units, such as Ironclads, which can devastate Martian defences, while requiring the Martian ground forces to wade out into the ocean to retaliate. Playing on the Martian side, players can expect to be attacked by more than a hundred human vehicles in a single battle, on some occasions.
The humans rely mostly on mobile artillery, WWI-style tanks, and ironclad warships. The Humans have smaller, weaker vehicles, but have more per unit, and quicker build times. The Martians use large vehicles with powerful weapons, which can take a lot of damage. Unlike most RTS computer games, units typically consist of multiple vehicles, except for highly specialised or utility units. Research tasks are set on the War map as well. The player can set up unit and structure building tasks and queues here. Each sector held by the players forces can be examined in detail in a separate "Battle map". The map of Britain (the "War map") is divided into approximately 30 sectors. The game is set in Great Britain and starts in the late 19th century. In this respect, it is somewhat similar to the computer game "North & South". Unit building and the inter-sector movement of forces is done between battles. It was unusual at the time, as instead of having pre-set missions, battles only take place when one sides' forces are sent to a sector occupied by the other. The player chooses to play as either the defending Humans or the invading Martians. It is based on " Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds" - which is itself based on H.
