Modern figures in not so modern conflict.

Like the look of the Empress modern but don't want to game modern conflicts or battle aliens/zombies..well how about this up coming film?

Would make a fun film but...the actual technicalities of what happens with the future if you mess with the past?? who knows 
I´ve thought about this as a games scenario...legionaries against say a WWI army..

Wasn't the concept for that blockbuster 'Snakes on a Plane' brought about by suggestions on Blogs and Facebook too?

An interesting concept but what happens when the ammo runs out?

This was mentioned on TMP about a week ago.  I think the Marines would be hard put to carry enough bullets and fuel.  Sort of like The Man Who Would Be King.  It might make an interesting flick tho.

I considered like having a scenario where a few countries of today discover how to travel to parallel universes and end up fighting all sorts of 'stuff'. I considered a few things but then I remember that thing called 'Terra Nova' where they are in a different time zone fighting dinosaurs?

That could be quite cool.

You could also play around with it a bit on a sort of 'what if the asteroid had never hit earth?' perhaps some sentient dinosaurs would appear etc.

There was a Dr Who series several years ago (about 40 years?) which had an alien race transporting soldiers from different eras to  create something like "Westworld".
Zones included WWI, ACW, something Roman, Crimean War, ECW, etc.
One of the Troughton stories?
