OOC: That's pretty much it. Comments and help would really be appreciated. Do I have too little or too much of something? I know it isn't perfect but I put a lot of effort into this so I'd like some response. Hopefully I can improve this.

UPDATED: I'm not certain how many logistical ships I need per group, if anyone could help me out, that would be great.

But in all seriousness, it's just a Defense Force right?

i thought i did give you prod rights?

(http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=356509 <--- i denied at first, then later sold them because i needed t3h money)

Defense... uhh Yeah. Except sometimes we need to take the fighting to other countries in order to defend ourselves you know?

Oh you did?

Eh, I adopted the HK G36 a few months after...

Anyway, so in order to defend yourself, you invade other countries, nice :P

Seriously, what's the tactical move behind this? How will you defend yourself against bigger nations, even though you claim they are well trained...

well, you know how the japanese always believe that the Kamikaze winds will blow invaders away? No sane person wants to invade Antarctica. Cold weather, electromagnetic conditions, not to mention that the other nations in Antarctica try to help each other out.

well, only those that aren't built for use in Antarctica. think about, being that close to the magnetic south pole causes a lot of trouble.

Just one thing I noticed. You say that you use the Type 97 with your tank divisions. That's a WWII tank.

Becuase, your army is so damn PUNY! Sry, I just had to say that...*crawls back into hole*

JA, that army is very small (but then I did just send 2 million attack helicopters and 24 million soldiers (in 2 million transport helicoptors) to support AMF!)

It might be an idea to beef that up a bit.

my army? There's 1.2 milion men in my army. Which is 0.564% i think, a little less than what the US uses. I think the US only has about 2 million in the military, I have 3.6 million.

i'll look into it. (realize that you have to multiply the numbers i give by the number of divisions, armies, etc.)

I guess since you do the way a lot of other people do it, just put the number of units in each big group under each section.

and i have a 3:1 advantage in airforce unit ratio.
