It is 99 years since the start of the Battle of Caporetto (also known as the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, the Battle of Kobarid or the Battle of Karfreit), fought near the town of Kobarid (now in north-western Slovenia, then part of the Austrian Littoral), on the Austro-Italian front of World War I. The battle was named after the Italian name of the town.

Austro-Hungarian forces, reinforced by German units, were able to break into the Italian front line and rout the Italian army, which had practically no mobile reserves. The battle was a demonstration of the effectiveness of the use of stormtroopers and the infiltration tactics. The use of poison gas by the Germans also played a key role in the collapse of the Italian Second Army

In August 1917 von Hindenburg decided that to keep the Austro-Hungarians in the war, the Germans had to help them defeat the Italian army. Ludendorff was opposed to this but was overruled. In September three experts from the Imperial General Staff, led by the chemist Otto Hahn, went to the Isonzo front to find a site suitable for a gas attack. They proposed attacking the quiet Caporetto sector, where a good road ran west through a mountain valley to the Venetian plain.

The Austro-Hungarian Army Group Boroević, commanded by Svetozar Boroević, was prepared for the offensive. In addition, a new 14th Army was formed with nine Austrian and six German divisions, commanded by the German Otto von Below. The Italians inadvertently helped by providing weather information over their radio.

Foul weather delayed the attack for two days but on 24 October there was no wind and the front was misted over. At 02:00, 894 metal tubes dug into a reverse slope similar to Livens projectors (Gaswurfminen), were triggered electrically to simultaneously fire canisters containing 600 ml (21 imp fl oz; 20 US fl oz) of chlorine-arsenic agent and diphosgene, smothering the Italian trenches in the valley in a dense cloud of poison gas.

There's a lot of rape in the fields of my setting.

>>49964514
Nah, my campaigns are fairly lighthearted.
I shoot for Discworld levels of seriousness - while an important, dramatic plot can exist, there's still room for humor, and I'm not gonna throw around themes like rape beyond maybe a throwaway double entendre about concubines.

>>49964514
Well, I'm sure plenty of rape exists in my setting, but no, I've never shown it "on screen".

To continue the relatively non-shit discussion started in the previous thread, regarding whether Eclipse Phase misses the transhumanist mark or not in it's fervor to sell social anarchism, progressive liberalim and (post-) transhumanism as objectively moral and societal goods; is there any mentioned faction in Eclipse Phase that categorically or at least consistently reject the transhumanist ideal on a basis other than religion, or that isn't consistently described as regressive, reactionary conservatives acting generally like shitheads?

>>49963898
Depends on your transhumanist ideal. I feel like the writers are kind of close minded about the whole thing. It seems like

Cont. from last thread
>What sort of power range are lasers in battletech, gigawatts? 100s of gigwatts? Terawatts?

My personal headcanon is that battlemech reactors sit in the low gigawatt range, which is comparable to a modern nuclear fission reactor. My theory is that the rating is represents the power output in Gigawatts, 100-400 being 1.00-4.00 GW.

It makes sense for an advanced nuclear fusion reactor to generate 4 times as much power of a modern fission reactor while being 1/10th the size.

Lasers and other energy weapons in battletech are powered by super-capacitors that store power generated from the reactor over time, and then release it in an extremely high energy burst, sort of how a 240v wallsocket could power a 2000000v capacitor bank, so a cERLL could possibly be outputting 1000 times more energy per seconds then the reactor while it fires

>>49952390

Does anyone have any ship designs that are more tower-focused rather than naval deck layout?

Which is to say: down is towards the engines. Even if you have artificial gravity, unless down is toward the engines whenever your ship accelerates everything in your ship is going to be flung sideways. You would have to build all sorts of redundant extra gravitational systems just to counteract this force when, instead, you could just have your engines be 'down' and then vary your artificial gravity to account for how much, or how little, you are accelerating at a given time.

I feel i might want giants, but my setting is low fantasy.
is there a non-magic justification for their existance?

Otherwise I already have a species of spider monkeys acting as the dwarf/halfling/gnome equivalent, so I could just have intelligent gorillas they call giants but aren't necessarily giants to humans

>>49951169
Big things need a lot of food, and if their size is unnecessary for survival (and makes them need more food) it will slowly be decreased by natural selection or not evolve in the first place.

My giants evolved alongside humans in firm symbiosis throughout human history, humans grow food for the giants and the giants build walls and protect the humans. It was in the best interest of the humans to feed the giants well and help them to selectively breed to get them even larger.

There are quite a few ways to get giants to work:
>Other races help feed them, like what I did
>They hibernate or spend lots of time dormant and not using energy
>They have efficient metabolisms and can store huge amounts of energy for later use
>They have a vast and reliable source of food (you'll need to explain why humans don't use it)
>Magic (not recommended)

>>49951169
Do they really need to be justified if there's no magic?

The only thing one would know about giants is that they're big, eat a lot, and should be avoided.

Armageddon Should hold a significance to the Orks or their Croneworlder masters, hence why there have been 8 great wars to take the place independent of the Black Crusades.

Maybe the First Deamon Prince of Slaanesh, the equivalent in their culture of Eldrad, died there during the fledgling days of the Human/Eldar alliance.

Idea I had bouncing around: for the two lost legions, what do people think about having them be completely wiped out during the War of the Beast to emphasize how brutal the war was?

>powerful wizards and spellcasters.

This is a bit of a side tangent, but I never understood this part. Magic seems like something you need expensive and advanced institutions to teach, study, and research, and elves are all about living like hippies and generally NOT being modern or advanced. Why are they always good spellcasters in things like DnD?
