Eggs from the sky. Not so far fetched. Heinlen's immortal Starship Troopers used an "egg" to get the MI from orbit to planet. Multiple layers, self ablating to take care of heat issues. Yours are probably a little bit bigger...so what. Idea works for me.
Depending on size of invasion force, Earth is pretty much screwed based on your scenario. Sounds a lot like the movie Independance Day. Except bad guys use nukes and kinetic warheads vs. ray guns.
Earth is going to need some kind of "Ace up the sleeve" to survive this....
A group I played with toyed with an idea of invaders in TMP universe...Morrow was one of the last, organized forces left. And it is not truly military in nature....
Any Who.....
I want to see more!!!

I read Starship Troopers but it was so long ago I can't remember the details. That egg detail may have just stuck in my mind.
I never figured the exact size of the invasion force but that's why they drop nukes and KEWs, to reduce the population to a more managable level.
There was never an "Ace in the Hole" for earth, I never got that far in the planning. It's even worse than I posted earlier, I'm a hard corps conservative, I was going to poke at the liberals. In my America, private ownership of firearms have been illegalized except for reproduction black powder weapons and single shot cartridge weapons. Ammo is regulated to 20 rounds purchased per year. Not only would the civilians who would take up arms to defend themselves from alien invaders, they would have to deal with "a civilian police force as well trained and as well armed as the US Army" reporting to a radical liberal president.
Maybe a rebellion by the orcish grunts. Hmmmm.
Thanks for the kind words for my strange ideas.
