Well even at his worst Dr. Snart did put in great effort to avoid casualties.
Oh yes, definitely! The musical episode! He can make this be the obligatory musical episode! And he has the perfect ally to help with this: Eris.
Anything that large-scale would have to be done either as a staff-level "paper" exercise (where you're doing the exercise as, essentially, a tabletop strategic- or operational-level wargame without actually involving physical forces--a fine example that almost spiralled out of control would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Able_Archer_83 ), or, if done as an actual force-on-force exercise, would be of such large scale that it would have to A) be heavily advertised in the media, and B) feature a great deal of coordination with the population in the exercise area (as it would not be feasible to simply use an unpopulated area for the exercise, particularly with the need to conduct exercises in urban defense). Indeed, B) would probably require civilian cooperation on a par with some of the US Army's largest-scale exercises that involve pretty much half of North Carolina as exercise grounds... complete with the local civilian population taking on a task of being role-players who represent various civilian groups, from the media to law enforcement to even irregular forces who operate on each side of the exercise. (Ask anyone who's ever done a rotation at the US's major MOUT facility at... I want to say it's Fort Polk... well, ask them about "Granny Truckbomb" sometime and watch them shudder...)
Shout out to Maxx!

I was hoping that song was going to come up.
Pun intended?
I don't think that the Justice League would get much out of a staff-level exercise like Able Archer 83. I think that it'd probably start with something like OL taking a few high-ranking members of the Justice League, NATO, Chinese, and Russian militaries to visit Maltus to meet with the Controllers to work out the rules for the wargame, or alternately OL being given authority to do so in the Controller's stead - to work out logistical issues for things like "what is required to be performed to count a alien spaceship as being 'killed'".
Well done!
I've been assuming they were something that fit in the palm of your hand, circle or maybe oval shaped, and somewhere between a quarter and a 50 cent piece (American coinage) in size (and probably closer to the 50 cent piece, ~30mm). Something that can be worn around the wrist (even without redesigning it to be longer and narrower) by simply by attaching an elastic band to opposing ends.
Sounds like a good opportunity for a OLC training exercise. Maybe he could even bring in the Vega alliance who ticked him off earlier. Justice League VS. Conquering Alien Invasion. And hopefully the Justice League gets their ass handed to them hard enough they stop making objection to proper defenses being made against it.
Thank you, corrected.
If it is, then that's a kick up the bottom for the League. If it's anything less than totally one sided in the other direction, the League will learn something.
A ring, eight centimetres across and two thick with a two centimetre hole in the middle.
This version is somewhat modified, but recognisably similar. Or will be, if the team doesn't get there in time.
That was a good Paul.
