The Royal Navy confronts a Martian invasion in 1913

What should the Royal Navy do if the Martian invasion begins in Bohemia in 1913?

Mobilize and build ships, prepare for the invaders to reach the navy, consider heavy artillery support and send parties to capture Martian technology before Germany takes it all.

With the invasion beginning inland in Bohemia, the Royal Navy would mobilize its dreadnoughts and older ships, expand construction and prepare for the Martians to reach it. Sending the army into Europe is treated as a potentially disastrous prospect, while disease is suggested as another possible limit on the invasion. An alternative proposal calls for earlier introduction of 7.2-inch heavy artillery to attack the tripods. Capturing Martian technology is a separate priority because Germany must not acquire it all. Marines and sailors ashore would help secure that equipment as the fleet supported operations.
