Howdy!

The Fiefdom of Dunbarrow has been shopping heavily, and we got loads of good stuff.
But there are things that simply are not obtainable in any storefronts.

Combat ships, nukes, tanks, APC, IFV, planes... wonderful.

But what about:

Trucks.
Jeeps.
AVLB's.
ARV's.
Radios, radars, computers
fuel-trucks.
Food.
Boots...
Ambulances
Bulldozers.

All those items without which an Army is just a pretty collection of stuff for a parade?

I can sell you a complete BDU for $600 each. It comprises camo, boots, helmet, radio, and a three pocket vest.

The Israeli Arms Storefront has the Ram-2000, which is very simliar to a jeep.
Also, we have the Wolf LAV, which may suit your purposes, come and look if you want.

Some people just don't sell that stuff. I sell jeeps, though. Buy my jeeps.

What I am looking for is REAL OOB's... not just clumps of hardware.

When I see the average NS military, I see a machine that cannot move more than one hour's riding out of its barracks.

Hmm... I can sell you 100 T80 Heavy VTOL Ramjet transports for $120 million a piece, each transport is capable of speeds up to Mach 12, and is powered by a rechargeable plasma/fusion engine (just add water).

Ok.. my 'store' dont have food or boots. But, we sell radars, ambulances, and trucks. (and a lot of other things too of course! -s- )

As i sell Swedish military equipment/vehicles, i dont sell any jeeps, coz we dont use them. We instead use multi purpose vehicles, like the Bv 206D that can 'zoom' across the landscape in 52 km/h, (not THAT fast, i know) and be used as a cargo vehicle, ambulance, command vehicle etc, etc.. (same with the tgb 20)
And i think there are similar vehicles like that in other storefronts aswell..

But, i can somewhat agree with you, about uniforms etc. (hmm.. maybe i should add some?)
Food however, is something every nation can make for themselves, (or ask for in a thread, if there's a famine)

I see a lot of dosh being spend on things that go BOOM.
What I don't see... is people buyig the stuff that allows the things that go BOOM to be mainainted, supplied, fueled, ammo'd, or even just plain deployed.

What's the point of buying a tank... if you don't have anything to refuel or rearm it with?

Why? You ask. Because people don't like listing every last detail in a support division. That's why. We like tanks however.

Ghargonia manufactures our own kit for our troops. Though we won't sell you any; a standard Combat Kit would be too heavy for such a small creature as a human. We also manufacture our own logistical equipment, or hijack more ancient equipment from the ruins of our ancestors. We won't sell you any of that either, as it would give enemies insights into the way our technology functions.

OOC: Though I'm not a good example, I suppose, as Ghargonia is by nature isolationist, and has to be self-sufficient.
