The citizenry of the US is more heavily armed than most countries armies. I wouldn't try attacking us like that. :smug:

Wyoming and Colorado are the only "Square" states.

I have an anti tank gun in my back yard, I generally use it for shooting squirrels so I should be set for hitting tanks. My neighbor has an AAA piece, too.
[QUOTE=orbitrek;17455271]Yep, Americas citizens can totally launch assaults on other countries.[/QUOTE]
Well, they could, it just has a low chance of accomplishing anything. Still, something I'd like to see.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;17455207]Rome is roughly 3,700 years old actually. And we're not talking about the existance of the city, we're talking about the empire.
Rome's internal struggle with Caesar never destroyed it, what history books are you reading?[/QUOTE]
Rome is a city.
The Roman Empire is the Empire.
Rome the city was founded in 750 BC. The Roman Empire begun in 27 BC.
If, through some insane occurrence we were invaded and our military was defeated, it would pretty much be the same thing that's happening in Iraq.

I mean in terms of total firepower.
Not tech level.

How many hunting rifles and AKs are equivalent to a single tank on your scale of firepower? Or an attack helicopter?

Quick! Google "Michigan Militia"! Michigan will never fall! :patriotic:

What use is firepower without the proper tech, against a decent of firepower with tech?? And I doubt that it would be more than any country even considering invading America.

Not really what you have that counts so much as how you use it.

What are you talking about? What does 'tech level' have to do with C&C?

Guns are completely mechanically, what tech are you talking about?

It's not hard to make Molotov Cocktails.
Or IED's. Look at the insurgents in Iraq.
[QUOTE={FP}ST;17455337]What are you talking about? What does 'tech level' have to do with C&C?[/QUOTE]
If a player reaches a higher tech level in C&C they get access to better but more expensive units.
It's a common tactic, which is known as rushing, to instead create more of the weaker units.
[QUOTE=orbitrek;17455042]Did Rome look like it could fall at its height in power?? No. But it fell eventually, whats to say America won't??[/QUOTE]
Rome didn't have the threat of mutually assured destruction at their disposal.

Honestly I think he's talking about tanks/attack choppers etc.

Although it was brought up patrolling built up areas with a tank or attack chopper is a bad idea or rather difficult. You have to assume they won't use those copters and tanks to just wreck your city, and try killing enough of the grunts on the ground the invading nation's public becomes tired of the war... Or something like that.
[QUOTE=orbitrek;17455439]They're not the only country with that threat.[/QUOTE]
Yes that would be why it's called [b]mutually[/b] assured destruction.
Does not in any way change my point.
