I'm beginning to tell that I'll have to put up with a lot of space bs in the foreseeable future, so what do you all think is the best MT way to deter le cliche orbital bombardment platform?

Pointing out they cost way more than any conventional way of delivering the same result.

If you are actually shooting them down, then ASAT weapons are around, and can be launched form aircraft and warships.

If you have ground launch facilities that can get something into the same orbit as the target satellite, then you can kill it by simply launching your own satellite to crash into it.

Satellites can't hide well, and have limited maneuverability so once you know what a particular satellite is for it is relatively easy to track, and in our case, kill.

The ASM-135 seems interesting... but for satellites in Low-Earth Orbit would (counter-(?))satellites and ICBMs be the only way to reach those targets?

Obviously the best anti-satellite weapon is the one that is there before the shooting starts.

If your soldier breaks the laws of the enemy (not your own laws) and is likely to be sentenced to death would exchanging all the enemy prisoners for his release he unpopular?

Unanswerable. It depends entirely on a myriad of factors including but not limited to what exactly he did, why he did it, who he did it to, your popular opinion about said enemy, propaganda from both sides etc. etc. etc.

Would surrendering because your enemy uses awful footwraps instead of normal socks and the stench of enemy platoons biouvacing outside your trenches is unbearable be unpopular? Would this be sensible? Also how many child waifus should each soldier have and should officers allowed to rape their girlfriends like in Wings of Honneamise without repercussion?

1.in terms of young adult women soldiers can have up to 6 legal wives at a time or 4 if their Muslim. They’re not children. The age of consent and majority in Ideal Britain are both 16 also “child” makes it sound like their pre-teens or at least underage (which they are in Northumbria but never mind)
2. No because rape is considered a vile crime and protectiveness of women is important to the Khan Labour government.

Depends on other factors such as how good the food is. Although I'd imagine that they'd be the ones surrendering to you and not the other way around.

Would this be sensible?

In a pre-modern era where combat is much closer up I could see it happening. Although I'd imagine drink would be involved as well.

Also how many child waifus should each soldier have

Not one less than is necessary and not one more than is required. Also potentially consider timesharing if demand outstrips supply.

and should officers allowed to rape their girlfriends like in Wings of Honneamise without repercussion?

Depends. Is the girlfriend in question one of your citizens or a foreigner he picked up on campaign? Also on the star sign and the color of the border of the most popular brand of trading cards at the time.

I got it. I just figured I might as well run with it and keep it going to see how long it would take for the original target to figure it out.

We should put some postings on ration tbqfh. Once a year sounds good to me.

But you never figured it out. ):

Cascade is pretty cool. I might draw a gold one for Dumbla. It'll probably be nuclear powered though.

For some reason I prefer bus pebble carriers over isolated BPs.

Maybe because it has more of a "space ship" vibe than the "integrated autonomous blockchain swarm attack network drone system" that BP does.

Is there any point attaching Kornet ATGM launchers onto the turret of a T-72 variant tank?

Is there any reason not to use Refleks ?

Tanks already have a perfectly good AT weapon in the shape of their gun, why would you add an additional AT weapon?

Counter satellite satellites are probably your best bet, yes.

Just do it already, after the first space war, Kessler syndrome will take care of the rest.

Too bad dry mass for interplanetary shuttles will have to double, but it is do-able.

[Cossack Peoples]

I might just antagonize the entirety of the globe by just having "an ineffectual space program" when in reality all launches were successful in distributing debris and its doubtful many will see it coming
