Quote:Well, I think it's fairly simple, actually - all of the technological options for getting through these magical protections that don't require taking massive casualties (ie, infantry, armor, helicopters, etc. - I'm quite willing to acknowledge that a sufficiently skilled combat mage can produce bullet-proof shields and fire levinbolts sufficient to kill an MBT), er, don't leave much left of the landscape.
...The object of this exercise is to, not neutralize Earth's armed forces, but to reduce their effectiveness to the point where they're more like heavy backup for the Genjuu Senshi. Any ideas saner than my own would be welcome.
Since, one, this is taking place in the middle of the capital city of a major nation and, two, the Genjuu Senshi will have established fairly early on that they can fight the close-range battle effectively, I think that a professional military force would be more than happy to leave that part of the equation up to an already proven option. Coordination, and the empire-builder's (or even simply cautious commander's) desire for control will be tricky, but doable, I think.
