We see you have old weapons.

Indeed we do- to fight with other races weapons is a great dishonour to our own and therefore toAnniken

bump..any more comments?

OOC: Yes, perhaps you should change up your military. Atleast make a modern military type also, there isn't that many "Ancient" battle style RP's going on.

OOC- I will in time, I wanna see what happens if a modern force invades my forest- I'm going for the long lost tribe feel, I reckon I could win a forest because I could use geurilla tactics

Once the Vargans see they can't fight in this era theyb will no doubt develop new weapons to match up to their foes- though they will not be conventional

OOC: Would you like me to invade your forest with modern tactics and weapons?

OOC-Depends if you plan to just napalm me or whether you want an actual war

OOC: Yes, perhaps you should change up your military. Atleast make a modern military type also, there isn't that many "Ancient" battle style RP's going on.

It can be far more rewarding playing with past tech besides you could have great fun ambushing tanks in deep forests and watching special forces getting butchered, because they aren't used to being attacked by a load of fanatics with axes, pikes etc...

As they say a crossbow is as deadly now in 2004 as it was in 1304.

OOC: I'd have to disagree that an army of melee wielding lunatics can defeat a modern army. Look at the Zulu-English war, I forget the battle but a small group of English head off the entire Zulu army. At that time they didn't have assault rifles, tanks, aircraft, and armored fighting vehicles.

Also, how is a group of axe-wielding lunatics going to do jack to a tank? If you want to open a tank hatch that is locked, your going to have to destroy that tank. Let me tell you how effective those iron blades will be against that.

Now, I wouldn't have used much airpower but I would have put a significant number of ground forces into that forest. I'm not saying i'm going to invade, but if you want me to - sure I will.

* Laughs himself to tears * Ok, i'll send in 5 tanks, and that outa' do it, lol.

OOC- I believe that diggin huge pits in the ground and covering them with leaves so tanks fell into them would be an interesting method

OOC: Agreed, but that'll be overwhelming work. This isn't an invasion, but just imagine the holes you'd have to dig for this:

Legion I:
-500,000 Men
--80 M102 105mm Lightweight Towed Howitzer
--40 M198 Towed Howitzer 155MM
--120 M-29 81mm mortar
--200 Javelin Antitank Missile Launchers
--120 FIM-92A Stinger
--200 TOW Missile Launchers
-600 M1A2 Abrams
-1,200 M151 “MUTT’s”
-1,200 LAV Fighting Vehicles
-600 M2A3 Bradleys
-40 Abul Abbas Cruise Missile Launchers
-60 MLRS
-240 AH-64 Apaches

OOC: You know, that might work..if all modern tanks didnt have Infared. Also, im gonna equipt them with Flame Throwers..just for the fun of it..

OOC: Agreed, but that'll be overwhelming work. This isn't an invasion, but just imagine the holes you'd have to dig for this:

I'll get the wilko shovels...

And you make a very good point- or they just jump from the trees onto the tanks and jam rocks down the turrets- then when the crew comes out to shift them they kill them and take over the tank

Heh!

Your so called axe-wielding loonies can do quite a lot to said tank... they can rip open said tanks hatchs (unless the tank has some sort of hatch protection) and kill said tanks crew. Locked tank hatchs so, i'm sure said people could find a way of opening said tanks hatch... never underestimate that... also they might use a primitive molotov cocktails, whick still are dead useful on tanks. You want real life examples of this try Eastern Front WWII and the Polish Campaign, tanks are not invincible to such tech, remeber that.

Remeber RPing rules, if you MT you can't declare war on PT nations, because thats unfair however they can do it to you if they really want to fight.

Also, remeber that the Zulus inflicted one of the worst ever defeats suffered by the British Army in the field. This was also on unfavourable terrain (to the Zulu's, perfect for the British)... and why? The British Army was over-confident much as you are...

Vargans pits if dug well enough and deep enough would work... again see Eastern Front WWII & Vietnam...

Also- your infantry wouls quickly be beaten by mine in the forest-0 the Berserkers would tear through you

I'll get the wilko shovels...

And you make a very good point- or they just jump from the trees onto the tanks and jam rocks down the turrets- then when the crew comes out to shift them they kill them and take over the tank


Take over the Tanks?! I thought you said its a great disgrace to Anniface to fight with other nations weapons.

Well I mean like moving the tank into a position to impede the enemy advance/fire arc
