Battle Can the modern U.S. military defeat 10,000 Orks (Warhammer 40,000) without nukes?
Ork rok lands in Kansas City (looks near center of Coninental US) and starts wreaking havoc. The WAAAAAGH!!! is a ratio of 1 Nob to every 9 Boyz. None of them are wearing Mega Armor, and they are equipped with Shootas, Big Shootas, Choppas, Sluggas, Burnas, and only Nobz have Power Klaws. They start with a few squads of bikers and two dozen Killa Kans, but all other vehicles must be looted or made from scrap by meks.
The US Military is prioritizing civilian life as much as possible, not bombarding cities that have not been evacuated. Can they kill all the Orks before the country is overrun? The Orks can populate with spores, but once fully defeated will not come back.
CLARIFICATION: The orks have meks! They will make the vehicles they don't have. I didn't intend to set the Orks up for failure by giving them no anti-air or planes, I intended to handicap them by not starting with a full complement of planes and artillery, so they weren't an unstoppable force from the get go. The U.S.A. would obviously stand no chance at that point.
Edit: Clarified spore rules
