Okay. This is shameless thread-pimping, yes. I'm sorry in advance.

<OOC:>Here's my problem. I'm currently RP'ing a war against my socialist neighbor (Kilean is pseudo-fascist). I along with another nations (Etronia, with some help from the African Commonwealth and Promise of Joshua) have blockaded and invaded Dibujante (my commie neighbor)

See, I want a big war. A massive, all-out sorta war, y'know? Sadly, due to a busy RL schedlue, Dibujante can't post often. So, I need more reds.

What I'm looking for is a few smart socialist/communist nations (with naval capability- breaking the blockade will be a crucial goal of any attempt to assist Dibujante) to come to the aid of the revolution.

I'd gladly summarize the events of the thread so far for anybody who wants to jump in. A high degree of military realisim is expected, however.

<OOC>Sorry to do this....I'm not sure how badly this is frowned upon.<OOC>

well i looked at the topic, and i saw molotov coctail, and i like it already... you can expect help from the KE (Kwaswhakistan, Kwaswhakistan2, Kwaswhakistanni Empire, Space Hobo, and an undisclosed number on operations). We have naval capabilities and such. but I must sleep now, be back on 2morrow this time or earlier.

Uuuh....sorry. Given the level of conduct I've seen from Kwaswhakistan2, I'm gonna use the semi-invite-only veto. Stop trying to buy nukes when I say I won't sell them. And stop using ethnic slurs.

I'm interested, I've been wanting to join in a good war RP for a long time. Plus with my nation being pretty large and having a powerful armed forces, breaking a blockade should be a piece of cake for me.

Can I get a quick summary of the actions so far?

EDIT: Damn, I just realized that I did post in that thread, the second post of all places. But anyway, I'd like to jump in now if it gets me the chance to crush some fascists.

well......breaking the blockade could be harder than you may think....

But, yeah, you're in.

What's happened so far is that Kilean/Etronia have invaded the south of dibujante, and are advancing despite supply problems caused by dibujantean airstrikes on the bridges over the santander river. Etronian troops have landed on the coast, taking a coastal city.

Over 6 million dibujantean troops just came screaming over the border into kilean in the north. Faced with the meltdown of the northern front and the immient capture of a major Kilean city, Kilean has just hit Dibujantean forces with a chemical weapon attack.



Just a side note: you're larger than Kilean and Etronia combined, and we're swamped by numbers already. It'll be tough, but we're up for it. Just remember, when you send your fleet at the blockade- you're facing the home fleets of Kilean&Etronia, plus a large Promise of Joshuan task force. Kilean has also mined the dibujante coast.

(just a word of warning)


But, yeah....welcome aboard!

Just a note, I have more to fight your fleets with than just ships, a while back I developed a Space-Based Kinetic Energy Bombardment Weapon... "Rods from God" weapon. Normally I'd use it for taking out bunkers, but it'd work just as good as a weapon to take out enemy capital ships.

But what all am I going to be up against, is there a list of the number of ships being used in each fleet. I don't want to send a single fleet of my own and find out I'm grossely outnumbered and outgunned.

As well, is there a list of military forces being used in the conflict? Should I get involved in ground fighting.
Kilean

all nations involved have posted their total military forces. it's on about page 2/3 of the thread.

Rods from god? Awesome. Kilean has the "tacit angle" ASAT, so....SPACE WAR!

(this is shaping up to be awesome, btw)

Oh man, dealing with upwards of a mil or two on each side, it's been a while since I last had an involvement in such a large war. I think I'll just start with breaking the blockade and move up from there.

I don't even have organization charts for my forces larger than 20,000 troops!

I'll work on it though and I'll post in the other thread when I've got it all figured out.

OOC: Dont mind me joing in? im kind of pseudo-modern tech, think beam cannons, but thats about it. i would be on your side Kilean. info on my forces is at http://users.tpg.com.au/hibbs/stellvia/xdf.htm

Hey, do you mind if i join (I use near future tech, but think gaussrifles and very weedy Lasers {they take out bullets and not much else} with the occasional hovertank).
Oh, and i dont see the blockade being all that hard to break what with my huge naval capability, oh well.

sorry, but thread is closed not. been joined by a socialist nation larger than me and my closest ally combined. we've got our hands full, so to speak.

it's also strict modern tech......

I'm bumping this. I'm bumping it beacuse this RP is awesome, frankly, and it needs more participants. I'm gonna be picky here, but also honest: please, please know your shit about military organization.

I would be interested... my biggest power is my Navy..

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=130698&highlight=

Just a little example of my naval power... and that isnt' all of it...
Kilean
13-03-2004, 05:23
Well, ideally, I'd like to RP a naval war, not a naval "my entire fleet is sunk by a combined carrier air group larger than my air force"
Doujin
13-03-2004, 05:27
lmfao... air power in navy battles is a major thing, but my other vessels far outnumber my carriers.. :p
Kilean
13-03-2004, 05:32
Yes. Yes they do. :cry:

It's not like I have anything against fighting superior forces but...that's be like a 10 mil pop nation against me.
Doujin
13-03-2004, 05:34
my forces is likt a 10 mil pop nation against you? how so? youd squash a 10 mil pop nation... :P
Kilean
13-03-2004, 05:37
I mean me fighting you would be like a 10 mil pop nation against kilean....


Although, actually, when you look past the HUGE numbers of ship names, you navy isn't that insane. Lots of light units, yes, but only....what? 12 carriers? That's about a US-sized navy. So, actually.....uuh, if you care to. I've got a pretty small navy, but my ally etronia has a pretty decent navy.

This is a very, very modern-tech war. There are space weapons, but they are just recon sats, ground-based lasers to blind recon stats, and crude ASATs- stuff that could have been built in the 80's. So, future tech seems like a no-no

eeh, I kid. Bring it. If you want, i could fill you in on the situation. when you post, all countries will post their navies again.

ASATs- Anti-satillite satillite. Basically, a small satillite that is an engine, a sensor package, fuel, and not a lot else. Used to destroy enemy satillities.

oh well everything i use could have been built in the eighties...lol no joke i am not kidding we are totally primitive compared to what we could use totally based on our dependancey on fossil fuels [only reason our armed forces and space programs are so......1950's lol] but yes i understand....i mean i would almost do it, if i could use power armour [ first designed and tested in kangaroo program 1943 was looked over for a RAM 2 converted in to APC worlds first true APC] which by the way some guy made in the woods in B.C. lol but yes thats ok not a problem. oh well no war for me lol ooc
