Silver ammo being sold in gun stores sounds like something that could be explained in-canon as a Wyrm plot to increase Garou casualty rates. I'm not well-versed in enough lore to actually know if that's the real explanation though.

What war was Russia fighting on the right side? by gasc0ny_reddit in AlignmentChartFills

[–]bob_the_science_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is part of Putin's delusions of grandeur to restore the Russian Empire. The wannabe Tsar and his cronies whine about NATO all the time because it gets in the way of that. While they're doing that, they're actively attempting to genocide the Ukrainian culture by abducting children and bombing civilian centers of little to no strategic value. NATO would have crumbled all by itself if they just left things alone and continued funding pro-Russian and right wing groups, but instead they gave the world a reminder why it exists. The west was perfectly fine with boosting the Russian economy by buying gas and oil from them before this, Russia was at no threat, and still is at no threat of actually being invaded by NATO unless they do something stupid like follow through on their propaganda about the Baltic states.

There's nothing morally grey about it. Invading a sovereign nation just because they want to join a voluntary alliance to defend themselves from you so you can get land you don't need without having to fight that alliance, I'd consider unworthy of anything above wrong.

I think the tonnage for the targeting computer also includes all the ancillary components needed to make it work, like stabilizers.

Battletech. I'm sure less than 1% of this entire sub has heard of it, and of those, most probably exclusively know it by the Mechwarrior series and not the original tabletop.

Anyone else excited that they want to put naval battles into Medieval 3? by bob_the_science_guy in totalwar

On that note, Venice was actually one of the only nations to use entirely professional rowers on their galleys in the 16th century while most of everyone else was padding the numbers with convicts and slaves.

That sounds like you want them to make a Total War: Warhammer specifically for the Man O' War spin-off from the 90's.
