Meh, a hypothetical strategy which is a best guess from analysists used as a last resort is hardly going to be thier first up play in any event.

In my fairly limited understanding of the complex geoploticis at play in the middle east, I really dont think Israel would ever nuke an arabic/muslim neighbour in the event of any conflict, unless the unlikley scenario of it being a retaliatory nuclear strike. They would have far too much to lose by doing so, and would stand to gain more by being the plucky wounded underdog being ganged up on rather than the playground bully.

Werewolves can be facists too, you know. Stop pigeonholing them.

« on: December 28, 2013, 04:01:14 pm »Who the hell uses AA guns anymore? We have supersonic jets. They'd really only be useful for helicopters. Is the NK still rocking ww2-era military infrastructure? If that's the case, then still, holy shit, because those are large caliber rounds in any case. I'm going to guess there's almost nothing left of them.
Yes, NK is known/suspected to have plenty of ww2/cold war gear, mostly artillery pieces around the DMZ. As you correctly point out, they aint for shooting at jet fighters. One scene from Private Ryan springs to mind, as does the old Soviet ZSU (whick NK has at least a few hundred of, in different variants, either given by the old USSR or older turrets mounted on Chinese tank chassis), which would be a terrifying anti infantry platform.

However, that didnt end well for anyone involved, so go fish...The Mongols weren't known for abiding the Geneva convention. Given time, Imperial Japan would have become China.
Good point. Pesky Mongols.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What does the invention of the crossbow mean in dwarf fortress?
« on: December 28, 2013, 12:40:01 pm »
Clearly Humans invented crossbows, being the ingenious problem solvers that they are, as a means to get more armed soldiers on the battlefield with a minimum cost and time wasted on training. Dwarves simply copied thier design and application after seeing thier usefulness, what with being unable to use bows due to stubby fingers and the need for a ranged combat weapon to deal with pesky flying creatures and bow armed enemies.

I think peoples suprise is more down to how extreme it is to use a heavy AA gun as an execution tool rather than the fact it can be pointed wherever the user chooses.
