This includes structures, everything the player can biuld. The maxium number of units ingame at that time was 200 units max per side.But it was intersepted, so it doesnt count. The Galactic Battleground's report describes a game of Total Annihilation that was actually played.The calcs Alyeska provided give 500 KT per 41 points of ingame damage Or 12 KT per point of ingame damage. It takes a given total firepower for a battle, then applies some basic logic to derive a firepower fiqure for each unit. You have to choose on or the other, and the battlegrounds number does not stand on its own. In other words, you can't take the unit numbers from the actual game and the firepower from battlegrounds. This doesn't really make sense because it's easy to prove, based on the game alone, that the firepower of TA units is nowhere near enough to give gigatons of firepower.Īnd if you're going by the battlegrounds report (assuming it's literal), then there's no way to tell how many units, nukes, etc, were involved. The problem here is that you are taking the battlegrounds report and then looking in the game to see how many units were supposedly there. You want a copy of the game? Ask Grumble. Then you can find the exact firepower per unit in the game. Then you can take the total points and assign it as equal to 2 gigatons. Then you can multiply the number of shots from each type of weapon by their damage points. You can count the exact number of shots from each unit. There is a recording of the game in question floating around the internet. You can of course get more accurate with this. That is an average shot firepower of 500 KT per unit. Assuming 2 gigatons of firepower, lets do the math.Ģ,000,000 KT divided by 200 units gives 10,000 KTġ0,000 KT divided by 20 shots gives 500 KT. No more then 200 units were used in this assault and they fired no more then an average of 20 shots. Does that mean the M2's chain gun has 500-kiloton shots or that M1A2 can spew out 5 megatons per second as many claime the Core AK or the Korgoth can? No it doesnt.Īctually they said Gigatons of firepower was used by a single side in the final assault. Guess what? The USSR and US could throw around Gigatons of firepower in a half hour. They don't give timeframes, the number of units involved or anything else needed for a comparison moron. These are explicetly (sp? sorry i am a bad speller) canon.Īll they say is Gigatons of firepower got used in a large battle.
Fuck off if thats all the better you can contribute.Īnd almost all calculation is done off of Galactic War Reports anyway. Only Fan Fiction that falls in the vision of the Galactic War Reports is Canon.
