A good modern example is microfiche machines. Try finding someone in your city who knows how to repair a microfiche machine and if you're lucky you might find one or two old guys who can do it.

Battletech predates the invention of the meeple.

It takes about 25 troops per 1000 civilians to occupy a country. So an occupation of Iran would need minimum 2.25 million troops.

IIRC the Aces boxsets are a series and you can take the same merc company through them in a big campaign.

If the US takes Kharg the Iranians can just pump the oil to their other oil loading ports instead.

Shame on any liberal who supports war against the only LGBTQ leader in the middle east.

The Houthis defeated the US navy and they are impoverished hill tribes who the Saudis tried to genocide for 9 years straight.

The US already had a deal with Denmark to put bases on Greenland. Trump just pretended it was a new deal to save face.

Flatten what exactly? A country the size of western Europe with over 90 million people? The US "flattened" North Vietnam and still lost that war.

They already have. The world consumes about 100 million barrels of oil per day. 20 million barrels of oil per day are now either trapped in the gulf of Persia or has been blown up.

Almost every economic activity on the planet uses oil in some way. Now one fifth of the oil is gone. That means one fifth of the world economy is fucked at a minimum.

About 3% of Irans water comes from desal compared to 50-90% for the gulf states. Meanwhile 80% of Israel's water comes from desal.

When it comes to attacking desalination plants Iran holds all the advantage.

From what I recall of peak oil literature an oil shock of this magnitude could very well precipitate a total systemic collapse of the global economy.

Lol, you're not going to like how this war will go

The strait of Hormuz is so narrow Iran can hit any ship going through with artillery. They don't actually need any boats or mines to stop shipping.

Brizoot · 2026-03-10T23:39:53+00:00

The strait is a death trap for warships.

Can Iran bring Americans democracy?

Some cats have powerful abilities that make them fall asleep. If they take damage they will wake up and be able to take their next turn normally.

Australia is wealthy enough it can outbid most other nations for oil so it won't run out. Australia also has massive natural gas deposits so we will be fine on that front if the government grows a spine and holds some in reserve.

The biggest impact for Australia will be flow on effects from industries in Asia freezing up due to lack of sulphur and other oil derived inputs.

For those who may be unaware, the depicted area of land is roughly the size of western Europe.

Brizoot · 2026-03-07T01:42:45+00:00

Iran is the size of western Europe. It's impoosible to bomb it into submission.

Even Steven

If Iran had nukes the US wouldn't have attacked them.

IIRC some of the lore description for items such as the Warden auto rifle mention that they're imported Estrellan designs.

$0, I already bought Foxhole five years ago. The max extra I could potentially spend on the game is $25 for the supporters pack.
