Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this matter. I was very impressed to see everything from general ideology to specific war scenarios in the 20 and some odd posts. Needles to say I can not agree with some of the opinions I have seen, but (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Geordan, Somehow I missed this one. I just saw it on the recent page on Brickshelf and came looking for you post. First off I agree with Kyle; you've got to resize your pictures.

Hi all, Rather than dip into the very icy waters of military might discussions ( in which I'm sure I couldn't hold up my end) , I thought I'd try to limit my comments to weapons, lego and mecha as they relate to each other, and maybe I'll have some (...)

I agree 110% with James! Look at the Cold War for example, both the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. had enough nuclear weapons to annihilate the world, but did they? Deterrence is what prevented both nations from even thinking about launching their arsenals. To (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
