Anyways, Canadian superpower aside, the UK can't hurt 'Merika. But they can make it bloody. Bull and BULL! The UK can certainly hurt 'Merika. In fact, if the war was going badly and we had our backs to the wall, well then we might just supply each of 'Merika's great cities with their own personal s...

The United Kingdom AND THE COMMONWEALTH you say? Well then the US is going to be majorly distracted at the Start with Canada getting going right on its doorstep. The Canadians should be able to buy enough time for the UK to militrise massively and begin mass armament production, production of aircra...

Just read in the paper today about this volcanic island in the Mediteranean that is rising to the surface. It first rose about 200 years ago and was claimed by Britain, France, and Spain simultaneously. Britain was the first to plant the flag on it though. However, some spanish subsequently landed a...

And out the window goes the "Present day Earth armies would be powerless against stormtroopers because of their bulletproof armour" claim. You do realize that fighter-sized explosives in their book means direction fusion devices who's yields exceed our most powerful nukes and are smaller ...

Ammunition is also varied, as slugs are made of mteal, ceramic, and hardened plastics. Specialty rounds can release toxic or stun gases, or acid, or carry explosive heads. During the Galactic Civil War, several Rebel SpecForce units carried explosive-tipped rounds that were quite affective at blowi...

Could the Frogs have held off the Germans?

A MK.33 BOLO has been set loose on Coruscant. For some irrelevant reason it is utterly convinced that every person on Coruscant is a mortal enemy of the Human race (Coruscantian humans are no exception - it believes them to be alien beings masquerading as humans, and therefor enemies). Thus it goes ...

Before the Jedi Council will accept them for training to become a Jedi? I mean how would they even measure/decide? Would they need to have a certain minimum midi-chlorian count? Or would experienced Jedi masters go by how strong they "felt" the person to be in the Force? Just wondering abo...

Potentially one, if the shooter is using a dispersal weapon, such as a shotgun.

Americans think the UK is in the middle east.

Maybe he's not xenophobic at all. The alleged xenophobia of Palpatine is metioned only in the EU. There's no hint of it at all in the movies, with the possible exception of "Wipe them out, all of them" (Although even there it's unclear if he's referring to the Gungans or to Amidala's gang)...

Many people have attributed Jango superb, great skill on account of his slaying of Jedi Knight Coleman Trebor. Other people have claimed that this merely shows that Trebor was a clumsy wothless Jedi not worthy of the title. However, having re-watched this scene in detail on the DVD, I believe that I...

One thousand All Terrain Armoured Transports vs one BOLO Mk.33, battlefield is gently rolling grassy plain with patches of forest here and there. They start off 100 miles apart, moving towards eachother.

In this scenario, the Rebels have a Mk.XXXIII defending them.

What would happen then?

A load of D&D (Advanced) dragons are flying about, about 15 of them. They then get attacked by an A-10 Thunderbolt II which was ordered to attack them after the dragons were detected heading for its base. The Hawg is fully loaded with missiles and a full load of ammo for the Avenger cannon. What...

I AM AWARE THAT NOVELS ARE NON CANON YOU FOOL. I'm aware that therefore these books cannot influence Trek vs debates in general. However I'm looking at them anyway out of interest.

SCENARIO: A single Iowa WWII battleship is patrolling 10 miles just off a coast somewhere in Europe. Its moving at a cruising speed of 15 knots. On the coast, moving towards the shore line in search of American landing boats, 8 AT-AT's patrol. Both see each other at the exact same time, and begin ev...

Right?

Right.

Sometimes Ocean uses Chinooks instead of Sea Kings though. I'm not sure what it's Chinook complement is though if it's carrying them.
