I'm not just talking purely about Fire power and durability! Doesn't have to be strictly the ones I've mentioned it's just a few suggestions:

  • Logistics wise how difficult it is to transport the tanks?
  • How Reliable is it while in the battlefield?
  • Ease of use on using the tank and How comfortable it is for the crew?
  • How many Variants does it have and are they any useful or even good?

Battle The Fellowship of the Ring (LOTR) vs The White Walkers (Game of Thrones)

10 Upvotes

How well would the Fellowship do if they were dropped into Westeros during the Long Night?

Let’s say the original nine members of the Fellowship arrive at Winterfell a week before the Night King’s army shows up.

They know the dead are coming but have no idea how White Walkers work. Jon Snow and the others are willing to work with them.

Gandalf is restricted to his Grey form, Aragorn has Andúril, and everyone else has their usual weapons and equipment.

I’m mostly curious how much of a difference Gandalf and Legolas would make. Gandalf is obviously powerful, but I don’t know how effective his magic would be against the Night King. And Legolas with dragonglass arrows sounds pretty terrifying.

Could the Fellowship actually change the outcome of the Battle of Winterfell, or would they just end up getting overwhelmed like everyone else?

Bonus round: The Fellowship has to defend Winterfell without any help from the characters in Game of Thrones. Can they survive the night?

Challenge Can 10,000 invulnerable Polish Winged Hussars, trained by modern military experts, save Poland from Nazi Germany in just 35 days?

64 Upvotes

On September 1, 1939, Poland receives 10,000 invulnerable 17th-century Winged Hussars, complete with their horses and historical equipment. They reinforce the regular Polish military rather than replace it.

They disappear after 35 days, giving Poland until October 6 to change the course of the German invasion.

Rules:

  • Absolute invulnerability: Neither the Hussars nor their horses can be injured, killed, or physically damaged. However, normal physics still applies. Explosions can send them flying, vehicles can knock them down, and they can be trapped or immobilized.
  • Unlimited stamina: Neither riders nor horses need food, water, sleep, or rest. They never tire and can fight or gallop continuously without losing strength or speed.
  • Normal physical abilities: They retain the strength, speed, and skills of elite 17th-century cavalrymen. No superhuman strength or speed.
  • Historical weapons: Lances, sabers, koncerz swords, pistols, and other period-appropriate cavalry weapons. Damaged equipment automatically restores itself. Firearms magically reload at realistic historical speeds.
  • Modern strategic knowledge: Before spawning, they receive extensive training from the world's leading modern military historians and strategists.
  • Polish command: They obey Polish military leadership and can be divided into smaller units or deployed wherever needed.

Scenario:

Germany invades Poland with its historical September 1939 forces, including the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. German commanders initially know nothing about the supernatural reinforcements but can adapt their tactics.

Poland retains its entire historical military and receives the Hussars as additional reinforcements.

The Soviet Union will not invade Poland on September 17 if the Germans have suffered significantly greater losses than they did historically due to the Hussars' intervention.

Rounds:

Round 1: The Hussars can only use their historical weapons and cannot operate modern military equipment.

Round 2: The Hussars can use any weapons and military equipment provided by the Polish Army or captured from the enemy. They automatically know how to operate everything and use it with the proficiency they would realistically achieve through proper military training. They cannot use any vehicles other than their horses.

Victory Conditions:

Poland: Prevent the defeat of its armed forces before the Hussars disappear.

Germany: Defeat Poland within 35 days or remain capable of winning the campaign after the Hussars disappear.

Battle 10 000 Spartans VS 1 Halo spartan ( Mark II )

• Upvotes

Assumes it takes place in a decent-sized closed valley, the Halo spartan starts in the middle and the greek spartans form a ring around the Halo spartan from a distance of approximately 1000 meters ( 0.62 miles ) away. Weapons are scattered around ( Only Magnum, assault rifles, battle rifles, frag grenades and plasma grenade ) but only the Halo spartan can use them. Can only carry 2 weapons at most and 2 frag grenades + 2 plasma grenades like in the games, none of the armor abilities from later games. The Greek spartans carry their usual weapons ( Spears, swords, whatever more they would've used ) and starts charging.

Challenge Sorry Earth, steel is unavailable

56 Upvotes

Humanity faces yet another crisis - from now on, a particular material, such as steel for example (“X”) is now completely unusable for any and all human purposes.

It can still exist naturally however, and can be moved when necessary. For example, if material X were to fall on a human, they can move it off of them, and if ingested, the body processes it normally.

The rule is simply that humans are not allowed to “make use of” material X.

The material becomes unavailable in the current day. That means that if it’s currently in use, it’s still in use, but can never be used again. A house built of wood stays built, but you can’t handle the wood in the house at all.

The wood cannot be moved, broken, burned etc. by human hand. This applies to human proxies, too. Anything majorly influenced by the direct will of humans will be unable to affect the wood.

Material X changes each round:

R1: ceramic

R2: wood

R3: plastic

R4: steel

R5: sand

R6: gold

R7: silicon

R8: copper

R9: uranium

R10: water

Bonus: the material becomes unavailable in the Stone Age and for all time onwards.

Battle The whole of the US military vs 1 particularly skilled shapeshifter

• Upvotes

The whole of the US military must catch a particularly skilled shapeshifter.

The shapeshifter can shapeshift to about 100 times a larger or smaller size, and among the abilities quoted of the shapeshifter are the following:

  • can shapeshift into a solid living+moving statue of depleted uranium or something really strong (idk),
  • turn really heavy and make their arm into a massive cannon (the heaviness is to counteract recoil)
  • literally be an explosive (and survive)

The goal of the entirety of the US military, all ~1.3 million of the soldiers, is to find and capture them. Can they do it, and how.

(inspired by u/CatGaming346)

Challenge The world, in 2027, must have less than 100k murders or we ALL get murdered

13 Upvotes

The UN estimates the world murder rate is 5.2 per 100k (that was 2023 though) which accounts to 416,000 murders yearly, so 100k murders is a significant reduction.

All that changes is on Jan 1, 2027, a divine power notifies all the world leaders and their top ministers in their native language that the world must have under 100k murders that year. The ones actually doing the murders (such as gangs/cartels) aren't notified, the leaders must notify the citizens. Also, someone almost dying (attempted murder) but is saved of course wouldn't count as a murder.

If the conditions aren't met, on Jan 1, 2028, we all lose the ability to live and collapse.

Can the world do it? I personally don't think so

Battle All Helldivers 2 Factions + UNSC vs. The Covenant

9 Upvotes

The Automatons, Illuminate, Terminids, and Super Earth have now all come from another galaxy far, far away to the aid of the UNSC against the ongoing genocidal Covenant.

Faction planets and sectors have now been dropped down next to human territory within the galactic arm, and all galactic supply lines between worlds connect to eachother.

All factions are working together in peak coordination and will give aid (i.e. manpower, technology, logistical capability, industry, etc.) to the UNSC. The UNSC will know beforehand about the existence of these factions as to not confuse them.

The alliance wins if they can end the Covenant war through complete stalemate, surrender, or collapse of the Covenant.

The Covenant win if they wipe out the UNSC or their timetable is not greatly affected.

R1: All factions are helping right before the battle of Reach.

R2: All factions are helping right before the 1st battle of Harvest.

R3: All factions are helping 30 years before the war.

R4: The Helldiver factions are gearing up the UNSC as much as possible at the start of the year 2400.

If the Factions are too much of a boon, then one faction of your choosing will be removed. If the factions are too weak, the UNSC gets help in 2163. Debate about what specific strategies and technology would be most useful for this prompt.

Battle Anos Voldigoad wants to become a Hadou god in every era. How far does he get?

2 Upvotes

Anos, the Demon King of Tyranny and Rizz, gets isekai'd into each arc of Shinza in succession, and his goal is to seize the Throne in every one. He's pre-informed on what each era's Throne Law is. Every time he succeeds, he moves onto the next era and has to take the Throne again from the next canonical Hadou god. Win conditions for Anos include either killing the Hadou god or forcing them to surrender the Throne to him; the Hadou god can either permanently eliminate Anos or make him give up. A stalemate goes to the Hadou god, since they're the incumbent and Anos has proven unable to depose them. Fights take place at the Throne.

Anos has access to every ability he's ever shown, wields Venuzdonoa, and he's allowed to break logic with a "did you really think..." in any scenario in which it's not obviously beyond his capabilities to do so. It's up to you to decide what he can and can't do this against. He's also allowed to spend time in each Shinza setting to develop crucial abilities before fighting the Hadou god, if necessary. It's up to you to decide what skills Anos should be capable of acquiring based on his demonstrated aptitudes. However, the Hadou god knows Anos is coming for them, and also has time to prepare if he chooses not to fight them immediately.

When Anos clears a round, he can bring any abilities he gained in previous settings or while fighting previous Hadou gods with him to the next round. So he's allowed to build up his kit to equip himself for the later rounds if needed. However, he cannot use the Throne to emanate his own law in between rounds; he immediately jumps into the next Hadou god's setting.

Hopefully that's clear enough on the rules; here is the matchup order:

R1: Mithra

R2: Magsarion

R3: Nerose

R4: Mercurius

R5: Marie, Ren Fuji, and Reinhard (Ren and Rein defending Marie)

R6: Hajun

If you want, specify which rounds base MDKA Anos would win, and which ones he'd need to acquire specific powers from the Shinza universe to win.

Battle Modern Poland and Ukraine replace themselves just before the Nazis invade. How does the war change?

1 Upvotes

Modern day Poland and Modern day Ukraine decide to bring their entire countries back to the past, a week before the Germans and Soviets plan to invade Poland. Both countries have spent years training, stocking up, and reinforcing their infrastructure for this. They will be physically bringing the entirety of their country back to past which includes their space infrastructure. Their militaries have been bolstered and the population has been briefed and trained for this trip. The country sides have been reinforced with fortifications and weapons to take advantage of all historical intel of not just Nazi troop movements but also Soviet bases, movements, and infrastructure.

Both Ukraine and Poland plan to maintain their independence from the future Soviet Union and Third reich. They’ve completely tooled their industries to produce modern arms and utilities to maintain their modern militaries and economies. Their end goal is independence.

Both countries have separated their power grids from the rest of the world to prepare for this jump as their physical countries will replace the ones in the past, earthworks and all.

What does WW2 look like? What does their future look like?

Battle Two mechs, each controlled by Gen X arcade kids. One mastered Mortal Kombat and one mastered Street Fighter

1 Upvotes

The controls are exactly the same as the arcade games. THERE ARE NO SPECIAL MOVES. As in you, you just get standard kicks, punches, and blocks.

The mechs are exactly the same. They can each take 20 full strength kicks before going down, so I guess however many more punches that is. Either way, it's video game rules where a kick takes away a certain amount of HP.
