Thing is, even without precise dimensions, we should be able to design some pretty long-ranged design if we want to and get some good rolls. Some designs of the 30s had effective bombing range of 1500km.

I think the treaty should include something to ban these. Namely, weapons that the operator cannot control whether its ordnance falls on civil or military targets, if operational and structural errors are taken into account.

In other words any delivery method that has a 95% probability circle larger than say 1km should be banned.


I think this should stop superguns or V2s which are honestly unfun.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Superguns and V2 aren't going to be used anyway, because they're not very effective. Unlike one side get a nuke somewhere.

Well we were planning a gun that would fire a 3 meters wide projectile.

Would that be a super gun?

Or was that a typo.

I guess that is out then!

Okay but we need to ban the use of trained bats that plant explosives.

No need to do that, since that project was hilariously ineffective. No need to waste resources on that :P

The bats weren't trained actually. They just did natural bat things, which is hiding when the sun comes up.

I once proposed we do an acoustic kitty using tigers, but that wouldn't really work pior to very small radios.

I enjoy the picture of anyone trying to stealthily smuggle your current 60 pound battery-and-radio assemblies near a conversation unnoticed.

Huh, guess since they already had partial, rolling a 1 didn't affect things too much(unless it doesn't work properly in the field and/or other things that come from rolling a one), as they still got it.
