Microbrits Army Increasing

21-12-2003, 19:32
We now have 15 million in our Army, 1 Million in our Navy and 125,000 in our Air force

And we have 25,000 in the Sas and Marines

We have changed our stance and do not want war.......... But after the success against Nibbleton it would be wise to attack them again

Doujin - he has 16 million people in his military (rounded down) and 200 million people (also rounded down for the purpose of easier math).

That would be 16% if he had 100 million people, but since he has twice that amount, the 16% is halved. Closer to 8% :)

Even so, it's way too much. I'll be happy to whittle them down to a more acceptable size so you won't be IGNORE CANNONed, though, if you wish.

We have 5% of our military on a red draft.And even that is pushing it.8-10% of your population of your military is completely insane.

...so you want me to kill a bunch of your RP population, and you know that you can't really fight back, because you agreed, right?
Just making sure before I drop the harbingers, assuming you still want me to.

Wow, that was rude... why such hostility over such a thing as army size?

I just opened myself for a serious flaming, I'm sure... *Gulp*

What is wrong with having 15% of your population in the army? During WWII Germany mobilized 10.2 million for the war while its national population was 70.1 million.

10.2 / 70.1 = 14.55%.

Thats a war-time army, peace time should be 5% or less

That's meaningless since no one will be fighting a war with a peace-time army. Everyone would fight at maximum capability.

That was in wartime, it is realistic because they were recruiting everyone who could, young men were even forced. But in a peacefull state...

you have a 34 yearold general?
I guess the low standards and fast promotions would explain everyones desire to join your armed forces.
A 34 year old general, at that rate wow you must nearly an equal Officer to enlisted ratio.
Too many cheifs not enough indians, you better make your infantry BIGGER.

10 million man armies are getting more and more moot. My largest deployment (and a "End Game" move at that) was 200,000 and that was with peace time forces.

I assume by "victory," you mean "forced retreat". Other than bombing our tourists and getting your planes shot down when you tried to bomb our capital city, you weren't "victorious" in anything.

Our national currency is human blood and even we think that military force is insane. At a population of roughly five million, we have ten thousand in our air force, ninty thousand in our infantry force, and one hundred fifty thousand in our militia. That totals to two hundred and fifty thousand, five percent of our population. Due to the fact hunting is popular in our borders, the militia match most professional soldiers abound for skill, and our standard troops are seasoned veterans. We aim for skill, not numbers.
