Aren't LRADs really really loud loud speakers? Or is the problem that they are focused in a narrow beam?

A small Neutron warhead using an airburst. It only kills but does little damage to buildings and vehicles.

They were designed to be used on ships in response to the USS Cole incident. They work ok in that arena, but on land they suck. Trust me, I stood in front of one and at the range they were designed for, all I would need to do is go around a corner or duck behind something and they would be completely unusable. Not as advertised for land based operations.

PSYOPS

Print false articles in the local paper to discredit them.

Thankyou. Somebody else who supports the PSYOPS option. You don't have to destroy the enemy to defeat them.

That's my J.O.B..... but not PSYOPS... taking away the will to fight. Influence the enemy.

i would just go the route used most often for taking a heavily fortified position-lay on a seige, seal them off from outside contact, eventually they can either surrender or starve (see the battle of stalingrad for example).

If it was me. Napalm would be good. Or surrounding the castle. Using my sniper's target is the King or Queen or anybody in the open target.
