re: #239 cenotaphium

I’m not discounting it— that’s what makes them good terror weapons. They definitely have a larger political influence, too.

To put it in WWII forms, chemical weapons are like the V1/V2 weapon programs. They were not militarily successful or useful, and the amount of resources poured into them could have been used for much better weapons. However, they did mean that the Allies had to react to their presence, since they were terror weapons, and politically they couldn’t ignore them, even though it would have made military sense, in many cases, to do so.
