Part two of the Maelstrom order came through yesterday: A second Dust Tactics starter set to bulk out both factions for the low low price of €79,91 instead of €100,-- Practically giving away a lot of stuff for free. With more infantry and tiles at our disposal we can finally do some of the bigger battles found in Operation Cyclone.

I don't believe you can use light for rape. That's just my opinion though. =P

light=/=good razz

...and I love to see something countering the impotent (erm, maybe wrong wording...) feel of 40k flashlights, erm, lasguns...

as for the Americans getting the bad end of the deal, I guess someone was cheering the Imperial Japanese Navy when watching the only watchable portion of the Pearl Harbor movie (namely after all the romance stuff)

Germans have lasers that re-roll a lot and kill stuff, leaving sliced pieces of meat everywhere. Americans have flame throwers and napalm cannons, which can instant kill infantry in one shot and in case of the napalm cannons can destroy most bot types in one shot.

How does napalm work against robots??

How does napalm work against robots??

The heat burns out and does a few things.
1) The heat will ******** up ANY hydraulics by damaging lines, warping pistons, etc.
2) Any electronics (even just wiring) will be absolutely obliterated by the heat, making any circuit boards or even things as simple as controls utterly useless.
3) The machine is still being piloted by a human. Unless it has inbuilt oxygen tanks and a hell of an atmospheric scrubber, the fire will pull the oxygen out of the cockpit and will keep the pilot from breathing. They die, machine becomes useless.
4) Fuel tanks and reactors react VERY poorly in the face of extreme heats. Even with heat shielding (which is pretty much a given along with the armor), that much constant heat will eventually translate to the power source, which will detonate.
5) Ammunition stores within, when heated, will self detonate. This one is self explanatory.


Also, my bank account feels considerably lighter. I am now the proud owner of the starter box.

even something as primitive and low volume like molotov cocktail was able to put WW2 tanks out of action, then imagine effects with dedicated incendiary (napalm) and in quantities spewn by tank-mounted flame canon...
note that modern tanks have much greater resilience, notably due to having much greater sources of heat onboard (turbines of M-1 Abrams and T-80)

They also have the ability to be totally sealed from outside elements (for the crew). A suitably large flame could still dead the turbines on an M-1, but it would take a giant ******** of a fire to do so.

Always good to see another soul join the cause. The question is though, are you ASOCOM or Blutkreuz?

Enlist with ASOCOM, we have flamethrowers, half-naked chicks who maintain our robots and suits of power armour with jet packs.
