Invasion Earth! Armies for HOTT

Mainly inspired by the Harry Turtledove novels of lizard men invading the planet in the middle of WW2. Also by HG Wells and large numbers of 1950's B-pictures, in which the army always took on the monsters and flying saucers. They could also be used against traditional fantasy armies, for example in Kim Newman's short story 'D&D'.
