Just to save Omz222 and Sniper Country the effort, this war has become off limits to anyone who were not in the original thread. Basically both sides have enough allies and any more would hamper the thread and make any war impossible to run.

If you still want to get involved then I would suggest you either telegram Omz or Sniper Country as they are running the thread, but I get the feeling the answer would be “no”.

If thats aimed at me i was involved. Pledged some support for Omz, and deployed a small naval force to the area. Also tried to offer a neutral ground for diplomatic negotiations.

Tech Check-
Just to make sure this stuff is OK with you.
Aiborne Laser
A B-1B with an ABL, not an uber laser, but good enough to take down bombers, but it will only be used against missiles and air targets.
Microwave Weapons-
A variable Microwave projector on a B-1B, used to take out electronics.
Will not be used a lot, as not even our President knows of the existence of such programs.
Sky Eye-Redeployable Satellite network that locates enemy units, and translates coordinates to guided weapons for targeting.
Adaptive Camoflauge- Run of the mill "smart camoflauge" for aircraft. Can be detected thru perhiperial vision.

Intresting numbers eh? Anyone else think its a bit...lopsided. Lets look at it this way->

Total posible number of Pro SC troops: 301,750,000 (Of course, SCs 100% SF army all count as five troops and are the best of the best, and a three billion man army couldnt stand against a single SC troop :roll: )

Total possible number of Anti SC troops: 153,600,000

If you don't mind SC, I think I'd like Omz to confirm this list. I was under the impression that anyone from the old thread could send military aid and those who were not were the ones limited to diplomatic and economic support.

Omz222
11-11-2003, 00:52
I can confirm the list.

Now, for those nation who got the wrong impression, I'm not saying that "You suck, screw off". I picked these people simply that these people could be suitable to assist in this operation (various reasons).

And of course, I also have a reason to choose these small numbered nation :P But I think people will know why later.

So TGS will mainly be specops and other small scale military operations?

Well, I can say 2/3. I believe that Remiesia will help with the "primary fores", and I think I can handle other of the "regular" forces myself, along with some help from Remiesia.

But for various defending puproses, I picked LF. Also, I have other reasons of picking CSJ...

Well, that's my explanation.

Ummm am I to assume that this was a pre-planned ass kicking of Omz & Friends before I even got involved?

I mean, come on - even though we're playing defense and have a big advantage over the attackers, these guys could wipe the floor with us with their combined strength.

Now, as far as what my troops will do: they're modeled after the US Army with slightly better equipment. Any regular troops SC's friends throw at us will have a hell of a time destroying my dug-in forces...but the problem is that they have the size to have a bigger casualty tolerance than I do. They can throw wave after wave at me and eventually they will obliterate my boys if this RP goes the way I think it will.

So let's be clear about this: if they attack with the usual fare, they'll have to blast their way through 3 divisions and an Airborne Brigade, not to mention the air force units I still have to send over.

But if this is going to focus on special forces......well let's just say it won't be much of a war.

The Gathering Storm will focus more on Special Forces infiltration, mounting pressure between the coalitions, and so forth. Then Friday night (I still have to come up with a cool name for the thing), the actual invasion will begin, with the taking of Honjaksgrad. Me and Omz222 have talked it over.To add to that, after Honjaksgrad is captured, the main SC forces (tanks, infantry, etc.) will flood in, and advance further.

Basically, the most RPing of SOFs will be in the Honjaksgrad capturing stage.

Also, my map:

OOC: Actually I’d rather keep away from war for a while, I need to do some number crunching over my navy, which is pretty messed up right now, I had to do a overhaul because I don’t actually know what the difference is between a cruiser, destroyer and a frigate is…

I know enough to be able to say that Battleships are pretty much obsolete these days though… though they make good flagships. Also know enough not to have too many expensive carriers…

Meh… I’ll do some research when I’ve got the time…


Oh, now it’s time for a unrelated rant… Scandavian States, next time you leap into a political situation like the one I had with Al Anbar, telegram me. Otherwise I’m just going to get really annoyed. I was dealing with it in my own way and then you have to come in and threaten his nation with bombing in order to get back my tourists who shouldn’t of been there. I don’t care if things went well… you undermined my political talks and made the situation potentially more dangerous. I do things my way… if they were your tourists them fine… bomb the poo out of them… but don’t do it with mine.

1) Sorry about that, but at the time I wasn't happy with Al-Anbar and your tourists being there was just the pretext I needed to blow off some steam. Again, I aplogize.

2) Where the hell did this come from and why was it not addressed earlier? God knows you've had plenty of chances to do so, like t-gramming me, or you could have said "thanks, but no thanks" in the thread itself. I'd appreciate it if the next time you feel like going off on a tangeant that you t-gram me to do so, okay?

I can help with you regarding that:

Cruisers = Your huge bombardment ships. Comes loaded with cruise missiles. Many battlecruiser also has large guns along with the missiles. The new American cruisers are also often installed with the AEGIS system, which allows the cruiser to act as an air defence platform.
Destroyers = Your average combat ship. A "normal" destroyer have many overall features, such as anti-submarine warfare capabilities, air defence, anti-ship/surface warfare, and even sometimes escort. Some destroyers also has the specific puprose of bombardment.
Frigates = The good old escort ship. Many frgiates has some overall capabilities, but generally is good at ASW and air defence.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Be it air support, I would send a couple wings, and some MEADs, SAM's andf various AA batteries. Ships, Ill send a fleet. Ground forces, and Armoed Division or two, Mech inf, maybe a BI.

Sorry, can't seem to find it :?

But I do have a good air defence coverage (systems that can defend against cruise missiles, fast-flying stealth bombers, ballistic missiles etc.) plus those regular systems for defence against tactical ballistic missiles and "normal" strike/fighter aircraft, with the good ol' Hawks and Patriots for my reserve units. I will consider the army portion (Mech Inf/Armored Division however (assuming SPH/Towed artillery are included, as with every division).

Overall, thanks.

A bit of elaboration.
All of these are escorts, and will either be specialized or multirole vessels. The primary difference is size and armament. Specialized units will either be bombardment, air defense, ASW, or ASuW (anti-surface warfare).

Cruisers generally have a displacement of 8000+ tons. These are usually multirole or air defense vessels. Bombardment vessels are also usually cruisers due to their higher weapons capacity.

Destroyers generally range from 4000 to 10,000 tons, and are, again, usually multirole vessels. However, larger ones may be primarily air defense ships and smaller ones can be specialized for ASW or ASuW.

Frigates are the smallest ocean-going escorts, and actually evolved from the small Destroyer-Escorts from WWII. They range from 2000 to 5000 tons, and are often specialized, usually for ASW operations. Still, there are multirole vessels in smaller navies where these may form the backbone.

Below that are Light Frigates and Corvettes (essentially the same thing). These are minor vessels that range from 800 to 2000 tons, and are again likely to be specialized, either as large missile boats or small ASW ships.
Anything smaller than that is classified as a patrol or missile boat.
