Have you met the CA-32 USS New Orleans? Great ship my grandpap worked with during world war II. Shame it is not here today even though it survived the war.

Right. Now we have no choice but to do battle in this very thread, because your blatant breach of the rule of conduct cannot go unpunished.

Fisticuffs or swordsmanship? This really feels like it should be a tourney of honour, actually. Jousting.

How about we stop with the unoriginal humour. One rusty old warship is amusing. Several and it becomes trite.

Ostrich jousting.

A fierce clash of opposing forces during a game of BattleTech: Alpha Strike seems to be the more civilized alternative, if you ask me. Bring your own miniatures.

Given how the BattleTech universe contains thousands of worlds settled by humanity, it is inevitable that there is at least one low-tech world where ostrich cavalry is a thing.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
