What would alien invasion look like?
Not Independence Day, of course.
It's been too long (3 decades) since I last read HG Wells' story. I can't remember how the struggle went there, except the ending.

The war looks less like a war, but more like colonization. It is long and drawn out, with casualties on both sides. The course is twisty and full of coincidences and self-sabotaging stupid decisions on both sides (or only the Earth's side?).

I think the invading aliens would be less likely to make stupid mistakes than the humans. My assumption would be that you wouldn't invade another planet unless you had a pretty good idea why you were doing it and how to go about it (quite possibly from previous experience), whereas humans don't have a lot of experience of fighting off alien invasion. :-)
Good point, Stephen, especially the "previous experience" comment. I'll have to mull it over.
