  1. What are you on about? When I was seven (60 years ago) I thought that what you say might be a good idea, hoevever my father, a captain in the British army, soon set my mind right on just how bad an idea yours is. A tower defence system? You have been playing far to many games on line!! Docks as you talk about (safe havens) are beneath hundreds of feet of rock today, not one flimsy wind turbine!

  2.  @RonLWilson  OK lets play your game for a time shall we? Tower defence relies on the opponents ahving NO marines at all either US, Portuguese, or the Royal marines. These guys would obliterate your tower without blinking. Next the missile defenses.... So we start with how much range they have, then what they do. How far would the protective umbrella stretch? 50 miles 100 miles, or to balistic range like the US base on an island near Alaska AKA GMD Ground based Midcourse Defence? How many missiles? Next what combinations do you have on this magic tower, ship to ship (tower to ship) anti air, and anti crusie missiles? That is maybe one of each that the structure can hold. Not a very strong defensive structure is it? Or are we going to use the multiple towers of the world's largest wind turbine farm off the north coast of England? Then you are talking literally thousands of these things, but so, so, fragile even the wind can destroy them if it is from the wrong direction.
