    Speaking hypothetically, i think adresses of members would be more useful.

      Problem I have with that, is that ICE personell can be replaced easier than ICE facilities.

        If a 4 goon squad kicks in a door and 2 or 3 come out alive after meeting a 12 gauge, eventually they’re gonna have to try a lot harder to recruit.

        Problem is, that tipping point means immediate bloodshed all over. I honestly don’t know of any other way to beat a Nazi than with a bullet to the head.

          Oh, there’s a lot of ways to beat Nazis without bullets to the head. Bullets to major organs and vessels will do it. Fire is pretty effective, more so if you use thermite (I fucking love thermite). Carbon monoxide, compressed nitrogen, chlorine gas.

          Rapid percussive force. Blood loss in general. A baseball bat. Hell the katana you’ve been saving for situations like this. Bows. Not crossbows, interestingly.

          Yeah. Nazis are just squishy monsters with a crunchy interior.

            Hmm, sounds like a solvable problem, why not crossbows?

              I have to dig that back up. I think it ended up being that the size of a crossbow capable of bear hunting vs a compound bow was significant.

                Fair enough, slow to reload and all that. My personal favorite is the tried and true 1911 but thermite is also fucking awesome and a quick death should not be the end of a Nazis life

              Crossbows are clunky and slow operate.

              Their plus is that untrained people can use them.

              An expert bowman could outmatch a group of 12 crossbowmen.

              But if you had a group of 50+ men to arm with bows or crossbows (hundereds and thousands weren’t uncommon historically), a crossbow was more effective because there’s no way in hell you’d get, say, 10.000 expert bowmen. If you were to arm such a legion with bows, you’d most likely suffer more damage from friendly fire than from enemy fire.

        True but this is why you hypothetically look at the administrative staff not the field agents: field agents signed up for conflict, administrative staff didn’t and therefore they want to avoid any sort of confrontation.

        And a large organisation cannot function without administrators.
