	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Starve them out.
Hopefully, they'll munity before they starve to death, so nobody's going to be too pissed off.

That would work. Allow food or medicine to pass through, but nothing else.

	Got spare money?

OOC: I could always just 'accidentally sell military surplus equipment' to 'an unidentified terrorist organisation', if you're going to get all pathetic.
Oh, and leave this discussion to the OTHER thread, please.

this may not work, if the soldiers still eating all they have t odo is not fire or drive and they can hold city indefinatly withall those hostages...


This reaaly opens a can of worms of how to remove a force from a city in a humane way...

if we cut of food then the hostages starve too, if we dont cut off food why would they leave.??

	Increase the size of your Attachments

The thing is, of course, that if they don't fire or drive, then they really have no way to maintain control of the city, especially when the local population doesn't want them there. Depending on the situation, they may not need to shoot much, but if they can't use their vehicles, they're already at a severe disadvantage.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

true, but then also the locals wont be driving so no movement of food stuffs so once again any seige will severly impact the locals too.

the consequence of this is of course dependant on your government type, but any democracy is likely to get upset that innocents are starving/freezing. but then again maybe not.
