@WraithUV, sorry about that dude, I misunderstood your position and thought you were trying to say no missiles because the bombs were too big. :oops: But those images you are talking about are of WW2 bombers, not post war bombers. So that is not a truly valid argument for what a Fallout...

What I was thinking was since they used magnetized disks as the active memory for the rockets and without transistors they concentrated on increasing the strength of the magnetic fields on the disks to reduce the CEP for future rockets. Now continuing that train of thought they could have...

Rosh, I certainly agree, the evidence for both is there. And I also think it would have been both, since you are correct in your statement of ICBM's not coming to the fore till the transistor was invented. So I would imagine them launching ICBM's at the far off targets and letting the bombers...

Actually Missiles were more prevelant in this time than most folks know. The Thor, while not an ICBM, was an IRBM with a range of 1,500 miles (2400km) and carried a W49 Warhead with a yield of 1.44 MT. The first flight of the Thor was on 25 January 1957 and the first active unit to use it was...

Thorgrimm@comcast.net I will add it to the collection as soon as I recieve it. :D Cheers, Thorgrimm

NP Welsh, Always willing to share any Fallout goodies I come across. :D Cheers, Thorgrimm

If you send me a copy I will host it on my site along with all of the other Fallout PnP items I have. :D Cheers, Thorgrimm

Welsh, I just thought you all would like to know one of my forum members made some paper minitures for Fallout PnP or Fallout: Warfare. They are quite nice and use the actual characters and critters out of Fallout 1 & 2. They are double sided with both a front and back to them. :D...

I admit most of the narration is not needed, but there was, IIRC, two spots where I think it was needed. The biggie to me was when Deckard was watching Roy die, and then when he does you get the guilt trip narration. Without it, to me at least, he just looks relieved at not dying and not having...

I would be interested in what you think when you get the theatrical release version. BTW, I saw the original in the theaters in 82 and have loved the movie ever since, so to me, it is the definitive one. :wink: But to each his own. :D Cheers, Thorgrimm

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have the theatrical release version. It is possible they touched up other things besides removing the narration. Since, at least to me, it just sounds like a gunshot. But who knows. :D Cheers, Thorgrimm

Suaside wrote: Point taken. :D As for the exit wound I was watching it on DVD just to make sure I was not talking out my backside, but I will maintain it is a bullet exit wound. Then again, I am no expert either. Since most laser wounds in other sci fi shows and movies are just burn...

Sua, good article. But I think saying that a laser was added and used in BR may be a bit of a stretch. :D To me, the lower barrel of the pistol, the pic in your article, looks to be a heavy barrel on the order of one possibly used in a shotgun. Maybe the idea was that when a normal round...

@Sorrow, I will see what I can dig up, the .Gov sites are wonderful for this type of minutia. :D @A.S.S.R. You bet thats what I am saying, to me it is no more accurate in their depiction of combat than a ISO perspective. But since a FPS limits your vision to an extremely narrow field of...

Well Jeff I usually do not post here but when I see remarks like these it just have to comment. Now we will set the way back machine to the old west, to October 26th, 1881, the place Tombstone Arizona. Now remember that the the gunfight was fought in a vacant lot about 18 feet wide, but...

Yeah The Japanese only got hit by two nukes, and not that big either. And if not for American food and medical intervention, the Japanese casualties would have been far worse. One misperception you are operating under is the idea that the nukes used on Japan were all encompassing, they are toys...

Sua, good points. :D Off Topic, you get a chance to look at those docs yet? :D Cheers, Þórgrímr

I have always been of the opinion that Fallout was way too optimistic in its appraisal on how long it would take man to begin rebuilding his society and reclaim the wastelands that was his former home. Below are my reasons why I think Fallout is too optimistic. 1. Most survivors would be...

I would not put too much faith in that statement since Fargo and Inxile are too enamored with the 'next gen' gameplay to try anything 'old school' such as ISO/TB. Cheers, Thorgrimm

Lets just say at one time Flamescreen was part of my team and he had a falling out with a simple-minded poster and quit. Was saddened really, since he was a valuable member of the team. And Sorrow, As far as I can tell, I only use one RL weapon in my mod, the hummer has been removed in the...
