Details of Japanese Balloon Bomb.� Debris was found near my hometown after the war.� The weapon travelled further than 6000 miles.�

How many turns would you have to wait in SPWAW for these to show up?

Don't forget the bat bomb.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb

quote:

The bat bomb idea was conceived by dental surgeon Lytle S. Adams, who submitted it to the White House in January, 1942, where it was subsequently approved by President Roosevelt.[1] Adams was recruited to research and obtain a suitable supply of bats.

Leave it to a dentist to develop such a diabolical weapon.

Were'nt there schemes also toying with lice, fleas and beetles carrying virus to be released over enemy cities (both the axis and allies partook in these experiments), yes? I thought I remember a flea bomb with bubonic plague considered...

There's a new rifle being tested that can not only fire around corners, but fire a grenade around the corner as well. It uses cameras or something so that the operator doesn't have to stick their neck out (literally) to get a bead, though the recoil on the thing has got to be horrendous. Or the thing's underpowered, one.
