Could have been worse, he could have called you an American P) :D

USA! USA! USA! USA!

but, in all semi-serouiniss, i want to do something like day after tomorrow. But, it woul be that surviors are fighting over whatever is left of the earth. Like, a 2nd Ice Age. Mayb 3 factions. One can be the primatve faction, based in the snowy wastes, while we have a more techy faction, bsaed underground somehwere, or in south amercia, and a 3rd faction...maybe local milita.

That'd be awesomely visual! Guess with snow you'd be able to hide/mask any mistakes/accidents in the terrain features.
If you're doing 28mm, I'd recommend Eureka's Russians, they always said "bugger, it's cold" to me.

Well...... don't just sit there, get a wriggle on ;)

Nerd? Me? Ha!

I will have you know sir that EMP is of interest to me as I work in the field of military grade electronics :P Plus I also need to figure out just how to keep my bikes/cars/home made battle wagons rolling after a nuke hit. Sadly my friend - whilst you are walking I am the dude screaming past in a spikey vehicle! :D

As Ross mentioned it would take a while to steer a big rock at earth (current plans to deflect them include nuke hits so its possbile to use nukes to steer them into a collision). Give the amount of "near" misses earth has it can be only time.

On the flip side - Nato Military grade kit should be EMP proof - however they might not work too well in a constant pulseing field. After all thats what the basis of low level electronic warfare is based on. I should mention that a nuke EMP will hit mainly electronically controlled stuff. Electronics would not survive the pulse and the rest of your electrical stuff will suffer lots of blown fuses and electronics is used to control even our National Grid (man some powerstation will get a HUGE power surge causing a meltdown) so we are screwed.

Older Russian kit and military grade stuff should also function - the Russians are big on Valves which are more robust than electronics and should function after a EMP.

Most modern vehicles - despite not being earthed will suffer. Dead throughout the looms. Older coil and condneser systems may survive - but the condensers will need replacing.

Diesel engines are a good bet as they do not use sparks to cause ignition and as we have seen recently - veg oil can be used to run them.

Of course in a EMP cursed world steam or natural motion would be the big ways of propulsion.

Nah! You must be getting me mixed up with that cabbage patch doll you beat up.

I didnt attack anyones merchant ship....I found it like that. :D

I am not that familar with the war of independance (I am more of a post 1871 kind of man) other than the second rate colonial troops we used. After all our real army war busy beating seven kinds of stuff out of the French and keeping India in our grasp. So Americans beat other Americans who wanted to be British. :D As for the seas - any emeny vessle even a civilian or merchant one is fare game in war.
