We have two treads on chemical warfare. One about Serbs, the other about Hitler. I have a follow up question to both and neither.

The effect of gas bombs can roughly be acchived by use of conventional munnition. A barrage will kill the people in the way weather it's conventional or not. Another use of gas is the type that stay where it is shot over a period of time. That can be acchived with mines.

The difference in my mind is that less chemical munnition is needed to get the same effect as conventional. This suggest that gas is useful when logistics is strained.

So would chemical warfare used when things would be desperate?
