Or how about a fleet of Korsars (Pirates)? Yes. My brain is dreaming up some way to mix the captain and crew of the Nautilus, a Jules Verne creation, with Edgar Rice Burroughs' world Pellucidar. Is that too crazy an idea? Come on, don't be shy, you can say it. :) Dan
PS. And I have just the 15mm crew for it, from Rebel Minis.

I don't see why not – that electrical charge system plus other weapons could do a lot of damage, and a pleiseosaur is no tougher than any living whale.
Arguably, squid are hardier opponents with no bones to break and a simpler biology, and we know that was a difficult but beatable opponent for the Nautilus. :) |

It seems perfectly reasonable and plausible to me. |

Lol. You guys are just as crazy as I am! I love it. Dan |

Well, where else do you think Nautilus went after the end of Twenty Thousand Leagues? Pellucidar is a completely reasonable candidate to explain that remarkable vessel's sudden disappearance.  Ron |

It just sailed due north and ended up in Pellucidar. Everyone knows that NASA and the Soviets have covered up the huge hole up there since Sputnik was sent up. |

Depends on which Nautilus. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen version was so over-the-top implausible, yet that IS a version, and it would win hands down. |

If Doug McLure and some WWI Germans can take on a plesiosaur, then I'm certain Captain Nemo would have no problem doing the same.

Don't you mean Mosasaur ? Plesiosaur had small heads and long necks and mostly ate fish and squids they could swaller whole. Now a nice big kronosaur would be a fight !  |

Long necks are good for attacking high up, say, the bridge of one of those subs, and you don't have to model the whole body. ;->= For beasts without, I'd probably go with a mosasaur. THAT has been close to giving me nightmares. Doug |

Mosasaur, nightmares for sure! Dan
PS. The one in Jurassic World was way bigger than the real ones, of course.
