[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 8092908, member: 6803337"] If your plan includes the assumption(s) "the enemy is blind and deaf to his surroundings and to our activity; he is too stupid / foolish to think of doing what we are going to do; even if he does notice he won't do anything effective about it" then it is going to go for you like it went for the Japanese at the Battle of Midway. The US [I]did[/I] notice, in good time, and took counter-action. And if I am going to fight somebody with spacefaring capability, the first thing I do is put telescopes with recorders all over everywhere so I can see things that aren't where I expect them to be, or are heading where I don't want them to be. Starting with one watching the exit from the nearest Stargate(s) Food water and air don't make a starfaring civilization (necessary but not sufficient). Industrial capacity [I]is[/I] needed. Drop washing-machine-sized chunks of nickle-iron asteroids on specific factories and facilities until they cannot build anything that can get off the ground and into orbit. If the enemy is stubborn, rip up his transport networks (target bridges, hit the ocean and push a tsunami into a port) so grain in the fields cannot reach the hungry mouths in cities. The historical example would be 1945 Japan. [/QUOTE]
