    Research: optimal dismount number for infantry squads

    So, I've been doing some research for various settings, and one thing that shows up is the argument of just how large the dismount squad should be. One very old study indicates somewhere between 11-15, and an article -using 'ape politics' research- indicates that three teams of 5 (for a total of...

    Nintendo Front Mission 1st Remake (with the first Front Mission 2 foreign release planned) for the Nintendo Switch
    Threadmarks: OP, Reveal, and Full Trailer

    Nintendo. Recently. Revealed. This. I don't know how the fuck Nintendo managed to tell the Front Mission IP Holder to work with them for an international release (especially since the guy has a reputation of withdrawing money to screw projects over), but it's a mystery with good results. EDIT...

    PC Gaming Microprose Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age

    Yep... I'm getting some serious Harpoon and Naval War vibes here... ... with a touch of the good old PC Battleship (you know, the one with all the FMVs?) for good measure.

    Broken Arrow (RTS)

    Found this on my youtube/Reddit feed yesterday, looks like a modern Wargame, um, game. Interesting name given the duality of the phrase Broken Arrow (which means one of two things: loose nuke or 'we're getting overrun, we need immediate fire support'). Hopefully, the game won't get a cease and...

    Treaties and Treasuries Oppressing Awesome Fleet Building in History

    Given that the USN tried that back in the day and using ramjet 5" rounds and missiles was far more economical than just a modernized Mk16 (which the Mk71 was). You'll need to have a technological context that has guns to be far more feasible as a weapon in the naval context to have anything more...

    HUMINT vs. SIGINT and New Intel Avenues in the IC

    Not exactly, as Russia's HUMINT abilities are just stupid good. They're probably the best in that area and will be for the foreseeable future. The 'West' mostly focused on SIGINT and Cyberwar because most of the ICs in the 'West' didn't have the sheer institutional knowledge of HUMINT that the...

    No, part of the problem was before the public sector had unions, the various political machines (both Dem and Rep) would stock the precincts with their cronies in the case of the police. So actual police (and later teachers, firefighters, and other public sector jobs outside the military)...

    Today I found out that... the Sergeant York wasn't that bad...

    So, the subject of the Sergeant York SPAAG came up elsewhere and I remembered something from my original research onto SPAAG design (because popular consensus on the York is 'it is everything you must avoid for a SPAAG') for a few settings I'm working on. It was on Quora and, well, the guy who...

    Modern Naval Submarine Discussion

    Here's the thing, the future is looking like we're going to have railguns, lasers (likely some form of electron pulse laser), and hypersonic missiles out the literal ass. The old battlewagons aren't going to be useful anymore in that sort of environment, and thus useless. Then there is the fact...
