Andromeda's Magog are described as an overwhelming numerical threat that reproduces through its enemies. Their reliance on mass also suggests a response: large numbers of rapid-firing weapons and abundant high explosive. The argument compares that response with artillery used against mass attacks in the Korean War, particularly by the US Marine Corps. The fictional threat and the historical comparison remain distinct, with concentrated firepower supplying the link between them.
