[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4448222, member: 19083"] Kmart, hm, that rings a bell... but in D&D style magic, nah... Western militaries are unparalleled in their destructive capabilities. However, they are focused on destroying other enemies effciently, not civilians etc, but they could certainly do that if wished. Western militaries work by extremely fast movement, co-ordination and precise use of force. So, traditional enemies get left with no one to fight and get an airstrike in their faces, and then when they're cut off, weakened, then you make them [I]surrender[/I]...because you don't WANT to fight man-o-emano, and slaughter isn't efficient or necessary in our kind of wars. However, D&D = capture an enemy soldier, charm + comprehend languages...teleport + invisibility, capture officers, fireball ammo dumps etc...very very bad news. Like Guerilla warfare from hell (literally perhaps, lol) Also add in undead and plagues etc. Don't dismiss the supernatural, we're not used ot it, undead and the like would cause terrible panic...and small calibre modern assualt rifles are not going to be much use against zombies. It's not stupid "wanna-be-scifi zombies", brains don't mean a thing to the undead so headshots are useless. You'd need heavy machine guns, mines artillery etc to take care of them. I odn't think it would be one sided at all. luck, cirumstances etc would have huge role. And there's many enemies guns aren't gonna be good for, as noted, like zombies. Not a concern in 4th ed perhaps, but definately in 3.5. [/QUOTE]
