What artillery can fire 50 km "easily"?

The new railguns the USN is developing?

Seriously, you ought to know better than all of us save FBM that they have conventional arty emplaced where they can level Seoul if they want.

Ah, you're thinking of this...

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

As for USN carriers, we have one homeported on the Sagami Wan.

What about that crazy super gun thing that the Ruskis (I think) were developing? It was basically a gigantic canon/artillery/howitzer thingymajig. I'm sure that thing could shoot half way around the world.

The NK's need one of these - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M65_Atomic_Cannon

It was a holdover from WWI, when fortresses were key. The Heer expected to have to fight the Maginot Line, and wanted a nextgen "Big Bertha" to reduce the fortifications. The "blitzkrieg" was simply too successful for the monster to be set up, that taking up to six weeks depending on local conditions.

Any particular area you'd be looking at?

Norway, since that's where it'll be set mostly. And I would need to know about British Intelligence because the main character is the daughter of a WW1 operative and the father has a bit part.

I've read a few relevant books on the subject:




But there's always soo much more to learn as you know.

First feed "Norway Hyperwar" to Google. Some goodies in there.

With North Korea they are unpredictable and could easily do a cheap'n'easy dirty nuke vanbomb a few blocks from the NYSE which would inflict as much damage or more than a difficult exercise in full yield missiles.
