Rescuing livestock RE: Re: [OT ALERT] Coalition Warfare at it's finest <grin>

Foolishly, on my part, I forgot the other possibilities of an OT

nationality sensitivity. Agree to kill.

However, I think the idea of a scenerio wasn't too far astray.

The ancients(refering to the rule systems, not the posters ;->= )
wargaming
memories not withstanding, I have some doubts that regular livestock
would
be worth anyone risking their necks. Sustenance food production would
seem
to be available by non-traditional methods (alga-hydroponics and the
like)
at this point, and I'd assume that the livestock was originally brought
as
gene-stock, decanted and grown at the colony.

Not a simple or easily surrendered task result, but 'worth dying for'?
Ok,
might be.

Now, herds of specially-bred-to-local conditions stock, and highly
prized
and expensive products of local conditions might be worth the attempt.
I'm
reminded of Traveller's Trockenberenauslise (sp?), wine so rare that an
assault on a military cruiser was a reasonable attempt.

Obviously, the authors saw the same German commercial documentary film,
before the term infomercial was coined, that I did SOOOO many years ago.
