Daylight, hands down I think Isaac Send a noteboard - 11/03/2013 07:22:26 PM

You can't hide an evac of a large city without detection, night or not.

Artillery accuracy isn't effected by daylight and it isn't just about daylight helping the evacuation, it is about how hard an unexpected evacuation would be if people had already gone to sleep. During winter you might do one at night if you felt it was easier to do the evacuation when most people would be at home but still awake but odds favor it would be easier to evacuate workplaces and schools, person for person, then homes. Most already have safety drills and I don't know but I am guessing in Korea those include 'WWAARR!!!' not just FIRE!!!. If I were them and if I had been doing school drills I'd want to do it during school hours on a school day. Even without the drills, far easier for a police officer or two and the teachers to coordinate several hundred kids then several hundred individual families.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Again? Didn't they "tear up the armistice" a few years ago? - 08/03/2013 10:49:59 PM 759 Views
They said they were "no longer obligated" after the second nuke test, and would resist attacks. - 09/03/2013 10:16:17 PM 845 Views
Not to diminish the role of China in this but you're bypassing the actual issue - 09/03/2013 11:26:18 PM 802 Views
I would like it noted I responded to you before you responded to me. - 09/03/2013 11:40:18 PM 876 Views

Seoul isn't the only urban location, refering to it simply saves time - 10/03/2013 04:38:40 PM 834 Views
Well, but one would assume that after an initial salvo the South Koreans would counterstrike. - 10/03/2013 06:51:34 PM 795 Views
Definitely, but you still get a high civilian body toll - 10/03/2013 08:14:26 PM 796 Views
Tactical question: Better by daylight to aid evacuation, or night to avoid detection? - 11/03/2013 06:48:21 PM 828 Views
Daylight, hands down I think - 11/03/2013 07:22:26 PM 800 Views
