You are king of a small sized island, what weapon systems do you use to defend it?

[Tenochtitlan]

Small volcanic island, includes some mountaneous and rugged terrains

Area: 369,76 km²
Mild weather: Low 16°C High 31°C

Maximum Airforce 30 planes
Naval fleet: Maximum number of large ships (battleship size) is 10

20,000 men available for service, divisible to medics, engineers, infantry...etc

You can fortify, build runways, ports...etc (show on the map if you want)
What types of weapons systems, planes, guns, tanks, ships... would you use?

Design how many each, and you can locate the forts, runways, and bunkers if you want on the map

 

[Mise]

Looks like the mountains defend it pretty well...

I'd booby trap the forests.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Spearmen, in enough numbers they can defeat tanks.
Amphibious war elephants too.

I'd probably spam caravels as well to deal with battleships.

 

[pau17]

Railguns on the tops of those hills, assuming there is a power source.

 

[Oruc]

Nuclear weapons

 

[Gilder]

A group of fifty or so others were using a combination of thier extensive knowledge of the island, previously installed installations, and otherwise a-hole behavior to screw with whoever's invading.


Points to whoever gets what I'm referencing.

 

[Luckymoose]

Land and Sea mines everywhere, with only 150 henchmen who are barely capable of feeding themselves guarding my fortress.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

An aircraft carrier with an airwing flying constant Barrier Combat Air Patrols, a few AEGIS missile cruisers, and destroyers hunting for submarines. Supply bases in the mountains and a shipyard in a natural/artificial rocky grotto. Automated machine gun turrets and missile turrets everywhere, and Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles and Unmanned Combat Ground Vehicles prowling on the island proper. If possible, a nuclear missile silo built into the mountains to deter nuclear attacks.

 

[salty mud]

A couple of thousand Brotherhood of Steel Paladins armed with Gatling Lasers should defend that place nicely.

 

[MobBoss]

You dont give us enough information.

What are you trying to defend against? What nation threatens you?

How much money do you have to expend?

And fwiw, it doesnt look like that island can support and airfield or a port able to service larger surface ships. So, inclusion of those would be hugely problematic if not entirely impossible.

 

[Irish Caesar]

I'm going Costa Rica style on this one.

 

[Shekwan]

I'd use the Archimedes death ray.

Why must smart people always ruint threads like these

I agree with Irish btw.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I'd build walls all the way around it, but with steps going up the outside only, just to confuse the hell out of people.

 

[Dachs]

If I were to make any sort of assessment I'd like to know about the proposed enemy and their capabilities. Also a topographical map would be nice.

 

[Catharsis]

I'd reroll until I got a better map.

 

[scherbchen]

sharks with friggin' laser beams attached to their heads...

You have to make do with seabass, dude.

 

[scherbchen]

You have to make do with seabass, dude.

good help is so hard to find....

 

[Till]

I'd detach the island from the ground and fling at the invading country, like a frisbee.
