This is a a national effort joke, Please take it seriously.

The Death Ball

What happens when you strap rockets and a gyroscope to a boulder? You get the death ball. The Death Ball is a giant boulder (about 3 stories tall) that is designed to roll over all Arztoskan infantry, and tanks, and trees, and landmines, and snipers, and officers, buildings,  and factories. The rockets propel it forward and then we just hope it works. The gyroscopes make sure that it keeps getting propelled forward as well as prevent it from sinking in the ground So about steering it? The answer is simple, fire another one; just more accurately.

The first Moskurg weapon that has no real life equivalent (except the Indiana Jones boulder trap). Desperation always breeds creative ingenuity.

I will be interested in seeing how effective it is. If it works, let's spend our expense credit on it.


On the bright side, this thing predominately uses oil rather than ore. It might not even be a national effort. If so, then definitely use our expense credit on it.

Dear god. This....this is genius.

It's absolutely beautiful.

[Sensei]

Historically, Germany Britain (I always assume it's Germany with the ridiculous wunderwaffe) actually tried to do that, but on a smaller scale.



So, it actually does have a real world equivalent.

"Not to be removed" indeed.

Edit: On the topic of ridiculous hailmary wunderwaffen, we could also try to build a helicopter. We'd only technically be ahead of the game by a single year, and we could totally mount a rhino/hippo or stallion/brumby on it.

I am sitting now in my chair, staring at a pair of dice on my desk which have a wry sense of humor. A one in thirty-six chance, and they use it on this? Truly, the random number god is fickle.

The Death Ball: A 30-foot boulder, on two equally large steel wheels, which themselves are lined with rockets to propel it. The boulder is hewn smooth and round, and hollowed by stoneworkers (in 1935!) to support a stabilizing gyroscope. It can reliably roll in something resembling a straight line thanks to its gyroscope, although large moguls or divots will send it wildly off course. For the ten seconds or so it keeps to speed, it can crush a tank hull. In fact the most difficult thing about its use is moving it around before firing it. It, or the boulder from it is constructed, is too large to move around on a truck, so it is instead dragged on a sled by several trucks, in a modern mechanized method which resembles the way in which ancient people moved stone megaliths. Once hewn into shape and given their gyro, chassis and rockets, they are generally not moved, but kept in place and rotated to aim. Costs 6 ore, 2 oil, and can only be deployed in areas with flat land access to a stone quarry.

Gained some ridiculous bullshit technology.

[Devastator]

Congratulations, you made a NE that happens to be as cheap as something can be while still being a NE.  It's entirely fitting with the performance of the team for the entire game.

Damn dude, lighten up. Didn't anyone ever tell you that losing is fun?

[Sheb]

This turn is the best turn yet. :p

[Kashyyk]

I'm curious, why is it 6 ore?

[Sheb]

Big rock?
