Would Jes Goodwin have won the Medal of Honor?

No.

And we'd have a Forge World Normandy Campaign Book.

…but couldn't afford to buy it.

…..which would be ok because it would be obsolete in a year anyway.

No, it is an illogical design that would not work outside of sci fi!

Tally Ho!

Then the Germans would have had Gargants, only made by Forge World for $ 799,99 apiece.

The Beast Rampant22 Feb 2015 8:52 a.m. PST

Then the Germans would have had Warlords, because, come on, bigger is better.

But a lot fewer of them, and they'd be mechanically finicky.

Sad we even brought up and answered such an analogy … wink LOL ! evil grin B-52 at Waterloo anyone ? laugh

What if Pamela Anderson was running along Omaha Beach just before the landing craft started disembarking?

What if Ming the Merciless started a orbital barrage over Normandy.

What if all the famous bank robbers and mobsters of the thirties were formed into a commando unit and dropped on the chateau where the German High Command wargamed the Invasion…wait, that's a good idea…

"But a lot fewer of them, and they'd be mechanically finicky."

They've have much more interesting colour schemes though.

My guess is a B-52 at Waterloo would be more effective there, than a Revere Titan would be at Normandy.

And to think I've had people tell me with a straight face that trolling never occurs on TMP….

I didn't mean to be a troll, I just wanted to gently poke fun of the OFM's D-Day "what if" threads.

Jo Jo the Idiot Circus Boy25 Feb 2015 6:10 a.m. PST

Trolling a troll is still trolling in my book.

Other's opinion may vary of course…

What if thered been a troll under Pegasus bridge then?

uglyfatbloke25 Feb 2015 8:15 a.m. PST

It would have been out-manoeuvred by a highly-trained team of Billy-Goats Gruff..or more specifically…..

Surely a B52 at Waterloo would have obliterated everybody!!
How tall are Titans supposed to be the scale varies wildly in the pictures.
Now seriously -would these things be able to wade ashore like Martian tripods. The Channel is around 150 feet deep between Dover and Calais -they could go across there and just stroll down to Normandy or they could even go straight for Berlin. The deepest part is around 600 feet so you have to be careful not to step in that bit.
I wonder how firm the seabed is -If they thought they'd have trouble with the Maus etc sinking into the ground imagine one of these sods.

I suspect that pretty soon on my table some of these things are going to be appearing on the Eastern Front…

Oh and why stop at Reavers -there are bigger ones than that grin

Shameful this thread has 20 posts.

Ivan DBA25 Feb 2015 9:12 p.m. PST

It is shameful.

I am deeply ashamed … That this thread has more posts than the Chuck Norris thread! Bill, please nuke this thread!!!

latto6plus226 Feb 2015 5:16 a.m. PST

Safer than trying to nuke anythng related to chuck norris…
