Re: The Judgment of the Capital Wastelands
I'm mainly working from the Stallone movie so correct me if I'm wrong but The Long Walk means a Judge being kicked out for keeps, either because he got too old or because he/she seriously fucked up, whereas the OP seems to have a fully functioning police department dropped in the wasteland by ROB fiat so no Long Walk scenario, at least not by necessity.

Re: The Judgment of the Capital Wastelands
A long walk is where a judge is exiled to bring law to the lawless lands. So no return to megacity one, no using iso cells, they litterially are on a cleanse with fire type mission to make the surrounding area fit for settlement. Oh and they will enforce just about any infraction with lethal force.

Yet it look Liberty Prime to stop the Enclave.Skywalker_T-65 wrote:Okay then...look at other things that kill Enclave guys.
Deathclaws
I've seen Mirelurks do it
Brotherhood guys (Outcast and mainline)
Occasional lucky Merc
Really, it is possible to kill them (even without being the PC) with less advanced weapons. Just have to look around a bit in the cases aside from the BoS.

Because they've had forcefields and the Brotherhood lacked air support of any kind. Not the case for the Judges, who'll blow the vertibirds out of the sky and gain air superiority.
Have a very nice day.

I dont remember seeing too much about the Vertibirds to show how they handle air to air combat so not sure how we can say for sure that the Law will win.
Also does not do anything for the forcefield edge.
Also does not the Enclave have access to orbital weapons? I thought that is how the destroy Liberty Prime in the expansion though I could be wrong.

They had only one and Bradley-Hercules can't really be adjusted to fire at anything. At the end of Broken Steel, you only had two options: Adams Air Force Base and the Citadel. The others could not be done because of the satellite's orbit.

Re: The Judgment of the Capital Wastelands
Orbital weapons? You know that the 2000ad Universe is spacefaring right? That they maintain off world colonies, prisons and a goddamn space navy.
The Judges run that btw. You have to remember, they are not only the law but also the army, navy and airforce for the mega cities.

Re: The Judgment of the Capital Wastelands
that may be because they don't have those forces in this senario, it's like 250 judge strong long walk. two most americans don't realize that the prison that Rico dredd broke out of was on TITAN, not Mt. Chyanne (purhaps he used the stargate), also has Rico's daughter ever been mentioned in any of the movies?

Your point would be what? The OP does not state that the Judge outpost includes any sort orbital assets.weemadando wrote:Orbital weapons? You know that the 2000ad Universe is spacefaring right? That they maintain off world colonies, prisons and a goddamn space navy.

A station generally includes a WHOLE SHITLOAD of assets, including anti-ballistic missile lasers and missile systems of it's own, in order to provide protection for it's own section of MegaCity1.Replicant wrote:Your point would be what?

250 judges might be a bit short staffed, but they're not going to be outgunned.
Everyone is doubleplus fucked, as I only just re-read the intro post and realised that fucking Dredd is one of the 250.Highlord Laan wrote:Everyone is fucked.The Yosemite Bear wrote:that may be because they don't have those forces in this senario, it's like 250 judge strong long walk. two most americans don't realize that the prison that Rico dredd broke out of was on TITAN, not Mt.

Re: The Judgment of the Capital Wastelands
Also, on the topic of it being a "Long Walk", let's not forget that the Judges aren't exactly the worst when it comes to dealing with Mutants and other outsiders. Some of the storylines in the past decade or so of 2000AD have been about the Judges creating multiple Mutant towns and cities in the Cursed Earth and Judges going there instead of on a traditional "Long Walk".
So a lot of the more esoteric Wasteland inhabitants may actually find a place here.
