National Ruin is rebuliding her army after heavy losses were received from an ill concieved, not hopeless, war. She lost 10 million of her original 70 million. The remaining troops are mobilizing and they have formed ranks as follows.

3 armored tank divisions (10 tanks each)
35 million infantry units
20 million Air force pilots.
200,000 F-16 fighters
10,000 Advanced GCON11 modified bombers
60,000 Airships, Invincible Class
3 Ravager class ships (carrying remaing unused pilots), beam cannons equipped.
Naval Security Net of 2000 battleships of the Nicholas class surrounding Naitonal Ruin
11,000 Special Ops and Infantry remain at the capital.

Uhm, you DO realize that your infantry and airforce pilots take up 13% of your population? Your economy will collapse from the costs.

Yea, the max % you should have for your armed forces is either 5% or 2.5%, I forget i havent RPed a war in a while, but either way, using 5% you should only have 18million army. 70 million is wayyyyyyyyy to big for an army of your size.

I use 2.5% and my 3 nations combined armed forces is just under 90million people. So yea, lower your numbers or your godmodding.

He can have 70 million in his army if he has compulsory military but there would be something like 40 million too old. But there are too many pilots and aircrafts. I would think that something like 5 million in groundforces would be worth for something because it is powerhouse economy so many would be in bad shape.

20 million pilots :shock:

Stay away from me...

We would like to add that your air force is quite large.

To the country of Nation Ruin, HRH's governemnt has seen these figures and are alarmed, trade sanctions are still imposed upon your nation at end of the short but brutal Gcgon/Vulcan war, it is now considered that a limitation on your ground forces would have been a better compromise, however HRH's government does not wish to incite war again and takes a neutral stance on the matter

You have got to be kidding NR. An army that size is probably a conscript army. You have made a "little" mistake by posting this here and not using telegrams. I agree with Pwnica, a strictly militrized nation usually never lasted long. Throw this out the window. 60 million "soldiers" seem like enough.

Those numbers also do not take into account the number of support personnel that are required for every combatant. There are many more technicians, crew chiefs, and administrative personnel than pilots or tank commanders.

The United States Air Force doesn't even have 20,000 aircraft total... much less 200,000 F-16s.

If you attack the UN again (which will probably happen soon), your next surrender condition will be no more military.

AHAHAHAAH, THIS IS SO STUPID! :lol:

So how do we lose troops in combat. If you tell me this, I will know all the basics and more!

70 million soldiers? holy crap... please be a little more realistic next time

If only the SIRF could be used.

what purpose do these troops have?

If you compare your military to the present time, you have the largest air force in the world and probably the largest ground force. Yipes! The Soviet Union has near 20,000 tanks and that is almost unmatchable. You have 200,000 F-16's. No army could take you unless they used bio, chemically, or nuclear weapons.

OOC: 200,000 F-16's......You would need 1 million Technicians atleast to maintain them.... Remember for every 1 Aircraft you have atleast 3 or 4 techs, Same with tanks, Infantry men as far as logistics go about 3 men for every 1 combat troop. Also, You would need....400 Air bases (if each had 500 aircraft) to House all of them.
