  1. EastFront, BattleTech, Centurian, Interceptor on Fun Tabletop Games? · · Score: 1

    Great wargames include the "block" series by Columbia Games including the venerable "EastFront". Relatively quick and easy (for wargames) they are a lot of fun.

    While usually considered a miniatures game, the boxed BattleTech set has Cardboard mechs that can be used on the hex maps. Simple and fun if you like the genre.

    Out of print but still available are the underrated Centurian future ground combat game and Interceptor space combat game.

    The games by Cranium are also a lot of fun.

  2. Alternate Methods on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about dropping the nodules into a mid-ocean subduction zone? They would be sucked into the mantle (which is pretty radioactive itself) to be recycled into new land long after the radiation has minimized. This seems less risky than a launch.
