Prawns versus Xenos...

I love when you make a fool of yourself like that.

You just said about half (of the million) are fighting worthy, dude.

Though I'm not sure why you implied the females couldn't/wouldn't fight, I'd suspect that a mother watching over a nest or spawnlings would be ready to wield one of their weapons and hold her place.

No, no, no, read again. When I said "I'd say roughly half/half", we were talking about how many of the million Prawn fighters will not lose their cool and scatter. I never, not once, cut their numbers.

Yeah, I said as much, "fighting worthy".

Same thing in the end though, they have 500k fighters now.

No, they are a million strong to begin with. What happens after is what we are talking about.

Yeah, I know. Who cares if they're 1mil to begin with when half the force is going to run shitless before or soon after the battle begins, it's essentially 500K Vs 1Mil.

That's just my opinion, bro, you disagree?

I don't think that many would scatter considering they're defending their home. But who the **** knows considering it's a fictional race.

But the point is, why make it 1mil vs 1mil, when half aren't really fighting. It's like me making an 'Hulk Vs The X-Men' thread, then saying all but Wolverine and the kid with the TV-changer eyes aren't running when the Hulk starts to flex his pecks.

No, *****, there are one million fighters, just saying that the one million fighters must not only defend themselves, but them too.

You're adding variables into it that you can't exactly say are true. Regardless of what you may think if they're fighters, they aren't running.

OK, so we need to address characteristics that make a soldier stand his ground and fight.

No, we really don't. It's impossible to come to any sort of conclusion about how a group of bugs will act when under attack by other bugs, or even what is most "likely", because that's how psychology works; it's unpredictable by it's very nature, that's why it's not considered a science*. There is a reason why personalities are not usually considered in fights on KMC, and trying to figure out the personalites of hundreds of bugs in a war would be completely... blah. So unless you want this thread to go for another 20 pages and end with you posting a bunch of similes and saying yuh huh while everyone else says nuh uh and everyone gets agitated and Impediment eventually comes in and closes the thread, then no, we really don't need to discuss that.

*Meh

Here's the thing. I definitely am not denying that the Xenomorphs have a good chance of getting past the first lines of defense. But the Prawns have a tactical advantage, and the way the Xenomorphs fight they're better in dark places, which they can be stealthy in slim numbers.

There are many things that can happen here. I have a problem with saying "Prawn tech >>>Xenos."

That's a pretty linear way of thinking.

Mhm. Coupla Xenos get to the Prawns, attack a Prawn, the Prawns around them fire on the attackers, then BAM four or five Xenos attack when their back is turned.

I believe you misread what I was trying to tell you lol.

You were clarifying that the Xenos could potentially have a good chance of getting to the Prawns, up close and personal. And when you said the Prawns have a tactical advantage, I was saying that I have a problem with saying that Prawn tech pwns the Xenos. I should have also stated that the Prawns showed no aptitude for tactics.

What did I miss?

I'm saying although a few Xenomorphs have the potential to do so, it's not going to exactly matter when you have other Prawns in a better tactical situation the said Xenomorphs. Where you may have a problem saying that they have no aptitude for tactics, I have a hard time saying they don't.
