I cannot end an ATOW campaign by hiring a Tech named Tim Taylor.

But every Battlemech needs more power!

Fallen_Raven · « **Reply #182 on:** 09 May 2012, 19:47:21 »

True, but not every 'mech should have a Supercharger added.

You really do not want to tell that to my groups Alpha Trinary Commander...that is actually a standard order from him!

But..they are slate grey with a slightly darker grey Delta painted on them! There is no red!

It is not a war crime if I do it. It is a crime against humanity at large.

Falchion: the only individual capable of being charged with crimes against humanity for making a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.

I cannot freeze the MechWarriors' neurohelmets in blocks of ice in retaliation for a perceived slight.

Sure you can. As long as they're not wearing them at the time...

I cannot run a jungle adventure called "Mutual of Omaha's Wild City Slicker Buffet."

"Because it'll hurt more..."?

On a similar note, I am not allowed to go fishing with a melon baller and then yell "SPEAK!" at the removed parts...

Actually, the response involves making eating certain areas easier... :-X

I cannot use fog machines as part of a psyops program again.

I am not to distribute rubber chickens and "Bacos" _tm to midshipmen on their first leave overshores. I'm most definitely not allowed to explain what their for.

I cannot detonate meth labs.

Yeah, they really just tend to fast burn.

Yes, I can. War is about making the other side submit to your will. Sherman chose to do it in the most emphatic method possible.

Aff, and, of course, Sherman understood that war can only continue as long as the population is willing to support the war.
Thus, his actions, brutal as they were, were justified at the time. They are similar to tactics used in Germany in WW2 with
where we would bomb(see: Dresden). The only difference, really, between a War Crime and a Viable Military Tactic is:
Which side won?

Fixed that for you.

My character cannot draw inspiration for strategies from reading vintage Superman comics again.

I can not inflict a country song upon someones life.

I cannot resort to suicide bombers to get the party moving again.

Once again, i am no longer allowed to roll up a Rogue for a Dungeons and Dragons game, seeing that no one gaming group is truly prepared for the malicious, manipulative, riddle speaking character that he normally turns into.

At least....not in BattleTech. Inshadowrun, however, especially when it loaded with Stick n Shock, it is perfectly
acceptable!

Actually, the issue was with the other players and not me. I was happy to zig-zag my fire through the walls since drywall is nothing against .30-caliber AP rounds. But then they started fussing about things like "civilian casualties" and "unacceptable use of firepower."

Civilians should no better then to be in a Warzone...especially in the BattleTech Universe.
