When are you making the map for CC tgd?

[Gillipig]

Seriously, the Swiss are the only country in western Europe who seem to think that it is even a theoretical possibility that the current stability and peace we enjoy might one day come to an end. More wars have taken place in Europe than in all other continents combined, to boot, Europe is an incredibly small continent, so the "wars per square inch" here is ridiculously high.
I think the rest of us are being very naive when we assume that nothing bad is ever going to happen here again.

When are you making the map for CC tgd?

Who cares about maps anymore? That's so 2011.

[MeDeFe]

so the "wars per square inch" here is ridiculously high

How high exactly?

Higher than Dave Chappelle!

[betiko]

lol, so switzerland, the country that is always neutral even on CC maps thinks that it could be invaded?

and no gilipig, that's why we have the EU. Not in our lifetime. I don't know about afterwards what can happen, but I think it's impossible to have an armed conflict involving a big european nation with another in the next 50-100 years (even if switzerland isn't a big european nation..)

how about we nuke the swiss in their simulation, how long would they last? if it's about a real simulation, they could give their opponent their actual weapons.

I've seen some stuff about swiss army bases thought, it was pretty bad ass. they have a huge mountain that is actually an air base. some rocks around it are actually fake and are some AA guns. Swiss people still have to do their military service a few weeks a year, they take this shit pretty seriously for a country that has no unity and that has never been in a real conflict.

Nobody is stupid enough to invade Switzerland. At any of the numerous strategic passes, the Swiss could hold off whole armies forever with just small numbers of troops.

And lemme tell ya, fighting high up in the mountains is no easy fight either. Just ask the Pakistani and Indian high altitude troops just how bad it is fighting that high up.
The Swiss are good troops in Switzerland protecting their own land, I don't know how effective they would be trying to fight an offensive war across plains and such, but in their mountains, they are a tough nut to crack. It wouldn't even be worth the effort it would take to beat them at that game.
Besides, there has to be some third party that can mediate financials for warring parties. Might as well be the Swiss.

I love this thread.

Bollocks.

Even if Switzerland wasn't a small country that shares a land border with France, there are a bunch of political reasons why France wouldn't nuke a militarily-neutral fellow European nation. Not least because in the Swiss army's training fantasy French soldiers are trying to reclaim French assets from Switzerland, not burn them to a cinder.

they take this shit pretty seriously for a country that has no unity and that has never been in a real conflict.

Never?

There are a bunch of political reasons why france would/has never tried to invade switzerland, so moot point. We are in a lalaland simulation, and in lalaland we would nuke the swiss for fun even if we get radiations. Reclaiming assets by invading your neighbour isn t very likely in a 21st century democracy. Not like we will ever have a saddam hussein vs koweit situation ever there. So i want the french army to go batshit crazy and nuke the hell out of the swiss please. Oh, and that mountain air base i was talking about is actually a nuclear shelter too for 20000+ people. So if they created a nuclear shelter, why not got a bit further in their simulation and check what they would do with their assets.

so Swiss Army Bunkers work a lot like Swiss Army Knives then?

If fiat currencies are failing--say from hyperinflation, then the government will grow very interested in hard currencies (like gold, silver, etc.). If Switzerland possesses large amounts, then it may be worth invading. Nuking them doesn't help.

Indefinite deficit-spending, further tax increases, and greater regulation won't lead France to greater prosperity. In the long-run, it's unsustainable, so something is going to give--unless of course changes in technology and markets can make up for the slack from government. It's just a question of when.

In what world are you living? we are civilized. We steal from thrid world countries in those cases like any western county does ffs! not from our next door banker that is everyone's banker!!! Let's freaking nuke them in the simulation for f*ck SAKE!!!

i found a thing I saw from the swiss army many years ago.. it's in french though, but pretty cool. They also have some underground hospitals and everything ready for a nuclear attack. They built all this in the 70s because they were scared of the mighty communists from the USSR. They haven't been in any conflict for 200 years though. There are hundreds of fake house bunkers everywhere in switzerland as you can see in this footage.

That's a good film but I don't understand one thing ... the narrator said that is the first time a camera has filmed the Swiss secret base. So now what happens, do they have to blow it up and build a new one? Sounds like Switzerland is acting like BBS at Mardi Gras. If they're worried about getting kicked in the junk, they should zip up their pants.

CZECH IT OUT -

SWITZERLAND maintained the option to develop its own nuclear weapons until 1988, according to a detailed account released by the Swiss government. The country's atomic bomb programme, which ran for 43 years, included a secret stockpile of uranium, an attempt to buy weapons-grade plutonium and plans for 400 nuclear warheads.

A report was prepared in response to media speculation by Jurg Stussi, the Swiss government's senior military historian. It confirms that Switzerland seriously considered acquiring the bomb in order to deter perceived threats from Germany and the Soviet Union. "In an anarchic world we were prepared in case we needed it," he says.

Stussi, who was given free access to the government's internal documents on the weapons programme, reveals that until 1981 the Swiss maintained a military store of uranium ore in Wimmis, 35 kilometres southeast of Bern. It was not covered by the international safeguards meant to prevent ...
