I just saw the 'motorcycle' listed as a target - comic relief, that.
Can see the headlines, "Sub launched Tomahawk cruise missile
destroys 1978 Norton Commando! Shock and Awe!"

Good point on the list. I guess most of us were responding to the idea that the war was one against a western enemy. What if the enemy isn't that at all but something like a Al Quida?

Makes "Whole Country" look different. We all assume the enemy will surrender if incapacitated. What if they only go underground and pop up again? Whole City/Town/Country" may be an answer.

Well, if any of the moderators on here want to add on "insurgent, terrorist, resistance fighter, guerilla fighter, ect." option to the poll I would be quite happy and grateful.


You could even stick on "Five Star General" if you're in the mood.

I would take out all the media building as well. No media no false news getting out.

First i would gain complete air superiority, first by attacking radar stations, than the airfeilds, then i would shift to attacking communications and enemy HQ, after that i would attack the supply transports and shipping to starve the enemy front lines, then i would attack the front lines directly.
