The Titan-Destroyers are really beautiful. I was really frightened when the Imperieuse shows up and destroyed the Indus....

You mean the Katana and Altan Orde (and Yangtze).

WHY YOU FORGET KYOTO AND INSUPERABLE  

THEY FIRED THEIR SIGNAL LASERS AT THE IMPERIEUSE'S SENSORS SO YOU COULD LIVE

Sorry, fixed that.

@ General Battuta

SORRY!

Long time since I played Delenda Est because performance problems, when I have Antipodes 6 downloaded i replay that mission.

In Memory of the Kyoto and Insperable. They fight to the last in their finest hour, to save the lifes of the Wargods...

Isn't it a war crime to pretend to surrender?

Who cares?

And afterwards nobody will remember 'cause history is written by the victors... if you win

[Droid803]

And if you lose it hardly matters, since stuff are gonna be pinned on you anyway!
And you'll have to account for all the other atrocities you committed, so what's one more to the list?

I'd say it's a far bigger crime to not do everything in the book and then some to save your mates, especially when you have the power to do so. And besides, they'll only see the consequences if they get caught.

I'm not even sure it is today and who knows what kind of rules the UEF has down the road. I'm pretty sure they aren't using the 100% same genf convention we have in place today.
Besides the GTVA bombarded civilian population centers with nuklear weapons and blew up plenty of civilian ships and stations. Compared to all that a pretended surrender is a very minor thing.

If they would have succeded (probably meaning taking out the Imperieuse beams), Byrne would probably have raged a bit about such dishonorable tactics, but that's pretty much the worst they would have incured (their comrades anyway, since they would have been dead from the ramming or course), since they were not under Byrnes command. The other two Admirals would probably have given them postumous promotions and medals.

Yeah, I do realise that in the scheme of things it's not very important.

True. It's just that it bugged me a bit before.

Yeah, but it's an ugly war.

All war is ugly. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't experienced it or has never talked to anyone who has experienced it.

The thing about pretending to surrender isn't that it's a war crime as much as you've now ****ed over the next few thousand guys who try to surrender on both sides. It's essentially mass-murder by fiat.

Yeah it's not exactly a wise move. Rather like painting red crosses on your troop transports.

Well given the situation, any action was better than inaction.
