Emphasis on cold. No one died. No battles were fought... That sort of uneasy yet boring peace just doesn't happen when no1 has to worry about radiation sickness. See, pre-WWI there was an arms race and it led to glorious battle and destruction with tanks and aircraft and submarines and everything. The Cold War? BBBBOOOORRRRIIIIINNNGG

Agreed. The Cold War was the lamest war/arms race in the history of the world. It shouldn't even be considered an arms race, it was just a time of developing technologies.

An arms race with nukes are no fun, because it's boring and everyone loses. (also not that creative)

Meh, screw the nuke idea and just call them ballistic missiles. That way those of us without supplies for tank battalions and armored cores can back up our armies without being cheap or boring.

I assume you meant to say "Yea, tell that to the number of missiles made in the Cold War." If not, ignore this.

The Cold War was the lamest war in history because it wasn't even a war. There was no battle between the two major superpowers. Lame. It was all psychological and things. Not a war.

It was also the lamest arms race because we didn't even attack eachother. We were all "hey, lets out-do the other guy," and then we didn't even get to use our crap, it just ended up in other people's hands and caused us more problems down the road.

Therefore The Cold War = Lame.

if were going off maximum death potential there's two

1.the prototype 'hellbent' class cruiser i made. 24 small missiles 6 larger missiles.....there nothing compared to the power source. its a unstableised white hole drive system it needs a time shield round to stop it going out of existence and screwing up time. if it goes then bye bye exitence. (no it isn't the battle for earth cruiser)

2.the behemoth killer-er one use proton excelleration cannon it's so big it has to fold up to fit the 2005 rules.

photos? sorry none at the moment there both possibles for a forum battle so there secret.....so why am i telling you this?.....*shotgun cocking sound* well i couldn't resist the urge.

BREAKING NEWS:
-The new nuclear weapon developped by LEGOdovian scientists is nothing more than an April's 1st joke that came out a bit late. Pedro Godinho, the LEGOdovian president, sent his apologies to the Brickworld.
