Nork Nukes Nearing Nuisance?

[bayonetbrant]

I'm guessing their ordinance would be in working condition, yes?

Yes, their laws are in working condition.  Their ordnance probably is, too.

I mean, they didn't manufacture it themselves, and possibly got it from the Russians or more likely, Chinese.

Basic arty shells aren't tough to build yourself.  Even variable timing fuses aren't too difficult.  Making big bullets and having a competent military logistics system capable of delivering it when/where you need it without just creating giant piles of rounds begging for counter-battery fire.

I admit utter ignorance of this, but is there a failure rate in artillery shells?

The shells themselves tend to shoot out of the tubes just fine regardless of manufacture.  If they explode in the tube, it's usually a faulty tube, not the shell.  The 'dud' rounds are those whose fuses didn't work properly for them to explode at the other end.  Those failure rates are very, very low (<1%) with normal manufacture, but no one has gotten their hands on a Nork one to examine it.  If there was a Nork dud over the past 15-20 years (based on arty duels with the Southies) no one has publicly acknowledged it.

"Look at page 17 of the rules. Section 21.1.25 paragraph 3, "The player who enters Thunderdome shall be considered first ...."

"Ah ha! Did you see the errata posted on the Thunderdome website?"

Rules are only for the 'Cool Kids'.

"That errata was released two days before version 2.0 was posted, so it doesn't count in the main canon. Only a total newb would consider including it in their game, like Psionics. Pfft."  :nerd: :nerd: :nerd:

The only rules for Grogheads are the same ones for Fight Club.  :-X
