Gnufasur
12-11-2005, 23:26
Plans were laid out, materials, money, time and manpower alotted. Deep within the heart of Gnufasur, an artillery gun design was convieced. The Super Gun would be the biggest artillery gun ever constructed in Gnufasur, and perhaps in all the world.
The concept behind the weapon is that ballistics are next to impossible to defend against. Why bother with SCUDs and orbital reentry when a cannon can simply shoot a nuclear warhead directly at whatever needs to be destroyed. Be it infrastructure deep within enemy territory, or an advancing naval fleet.
The Super Gun would need massive support. Large swaths of the Okumuak Forest were cleaned out, and mobile SAM Sites and smaller artillery guns were moved into place to defend the site from incursion. Three whole detachment of the Gnufasurian Armed Forces were allotted to guard the supply lines(For all you crying logistics types) which would assist in the construction and upkeep of the massive cannon.
Construction is expected to be completed in two to three years time...
To the international community, the construction of the Super Gun is not announced. And the nearly automated responses to any inquire about the construction site is that it's a site for a rear fire base to defend the Gnufasur coast line. For the moment, the site did resemble something of that sort, although this was only the very first stage of construction, and at this stage they could very well say it was a new Mega Shopping Mall. Although once the gun began to take shape, the deception would become very thin...
((OOC: Okay. Some basics. I've never claimed to know anything about logistics, military tactics, or guns of any type. But, I wouldn't mind input from people who do. If anyone could say, supply me with a rough idea of how big a Super Gun should be, the size of its cannon, and any other useful information like that, I'd be greatly appreicated.
The idea I'm trying to make here is an artillery cannon capable of shelling *NEARLY* any location on the globe. I cannot put enough attention on nearly. I'm not saying it can shell ANY location, but it should have enough range that it could outshoot whatever else is out there.
Feel free to cry Godmod. If you don't like it, then don't interact with me and I'll do the same.
