I have never engaged in a discussion about modern airpower versus modern armour. You are the one having that discussion with yourself when you're not taking the trouble to tell everyone they are wrong whenever they post anything on this forum. Unbelievable. Do you behave like this when face to...

Huh? If something gets destroyed then it must have existed beforehand.

Well how do you know what I have studied? Anyway you keep using the present tense but the original question was about the future, no? I'm not sure how you have so much factual information about battlefields of the future. I told you how tanks die in the future I visited - by artillery directed...

So am I. Flat belly means lower silhouette and no need to use up valuable hull space with landing gear. In a high tech galaxy, not every soldier in every battle will be equipped with high tech I would say so being harder to spot with the Mark 1 Eyeball and hit with a point and shoot weapon are...

OK but without the benefit of a time machine and if I'm not allowed to refer to the CT rules especially designed for the issue it all comes down to guesswork and my guess as pretty much as I outlined a couple of posts above at least for a few TLs above our present. Reasons: the need to have...

Sorry I thought this was the Traveller role playing game sub-forum :mrgreen:

I did a lot of wargaming with Striker (well a Striker/Advanced Squad Leader hybrid in fact) at different tech levels back in the day and this is exactly how things worked out. Heavy tanks were just like MBTs with the added strategic and operational mobility you mentioned and the tactical...

Hmm. Seems I read what I thought that section should say, not what it actually does say. I agree this is a bit consequence-free for my liking. I think in MTU I'll go with Shawn's approach and say an effect of 6 is needed for a super-duper accurate jump and anything less means some error has...

Wow. Only had a brief look over so far but very impressed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the review. $2.99 ??? You could (almost) get the left arm of a Games Workshop 28mm figure for that kind of money :shock:

Hi, Anyone have any guidelines on inaccurate jumps? There seems to be 2 parts to this: 1) The time part. If say you are in jump space 6 hours longer than planned that means the destination world will have moved on I suppose. I think I read the orbital velocity of the Earth is roughly...

For a ship that might have a lifespan of 80 years or more I reckon inherent flexibility would be a desirable design feature and 'fitted for but not necessarily with' fits the bill (here in the UK we'll soon be getting a new aircraft carrier...with no aircraft, for a pretty extreme example of...

Hi, Long time lurker, first time poster, etc. I found a nifty online free vector drawing program at: https://www.youidraw.com/ I'm completely new to this kind of thing but after a bit of mucking around (grasping the idea of layers was a key breakthrough!) I knocked out this sample deckplan...
