Israel and Iran
- Thread starter TLDR20
- Start date
From The Creative Assembly, the studio that brought you Rome: Total War, Medieval Total War, Warhammer: Total War, and all of the other Total Wars, a new conflict arises...
Gaza: Total War
Command your troops and a variety of weapons across history on a modern battlefield. Tanks, artillery, machine guns, the Iron Dome, trebuchets, slingshots, Molotov cocktails, stealth aircr...wait, a fucking trebuchet?
Coming to all platforms in 2024. Gaza: Total War. We have F-35's and trebuchets, bitch. Call of Duty doesn't have trebuchets, does it?
Im pretty sure a Call of Duty or MOH: Retake Europe from.the Jihads is in the future.
God damn it, I wanted it to be real.

Honestly that might be us in the near future too. Supposedly there are thousands of recently trained Jihadi's inside CONUS.
Maybe Israel can sell Canuckistan a few used trebuchet.

I don’t know.
Here's one of them using a bow and flaming arrow...so, why not?!
Israeli's on/near the Lebanese border using a bow and flaming arrow to decrease vegetation outside of their forward operating base.

Other footage showed them using a trebuchet for the same purpose. pic.twitter.com/9INZyvEqMA
Flaming arrow? If I wanted to start a fire I'd call in a nape strike or Willy Pete.

BTW, another statement indicating this is indeed awesome real.
NEW: Israel is using a Middle Ages-style catapult to launch flaming projectiles into Lebanon.

"This is a local initiative and not a tool that is widely used," the Israeli Defense Forces announced in a statement.
The reasoning behind the use of the catapult is to clear dense… pic.twitter.com/WUpwJfKpHe
Yes ^^^ But there's no substitute for the real thing...Nape and Willie Pete

US Navy getting after it.

US Navy faces its most intense combat since World War II against Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels

The Navy said they were gonna have a cost savings from the Pier...mother of god you would have saved money if you never built it.
The "famine" that wasn't"
Data used for Gaza famine claims changing as expert cautions 'no one seems to be trying to explain why'
Famines are typically not failures of supply, they're failures of distribution. It was the same in Somalia; there was plenty of food, it just wasn't getting to where it needed to be. Compound that with an active violent insurgency, and a terrorist organization that is perversely very interested in making things as hard as possible on their own people for the propaganda value, and you have... the mess that is Gaza.

Some people like to talk about the "universal draft" in Israel, but it's far from "universal." Arab-Israelis do not have to enlist. Druze men do not have to enlist, although many of them do. Same with bedouins. And, up until now, ultra-orthodox Israeli Jews did not have to enlist. Given the burgeoning demographics of Arabs and Ultra-Orthodox, a smaller and smaller percentage of Israel's population has had to bear the burden of national defense.
Some of that may be about to change:
Israel's Supreme Court rules ultra-Orthodox men must serve in military in unanimous decision
