All of the pictures of all my stuff is now set up. If your REALLY interested on the actual info of these, go to www.fas.org and you will find them all.

There is now. :) I plan on putting a link next to each one on for info and pictures.

:cool:

Weapons would be a start. (joking)
(serious now) I say that you should probably choose a branch (army, navy, air force) to build up as much as possible while you update your other forces as well. Just not as extensively. That way you have all the bases covered and you also have one "strong arm" branch that you can fall back on in a crisis. You should probably buy things like package deals, so that you get a lot of weapons for a lower cost than if you bought them separately when you're just starting.
Pretty good start though.

So far, thats what I've been doing (buying packages). In one of my issues, i chose to raise my airforce spending. Maybe i should work on my air force?

Go to Hallad, I got all alot of stuff from him when i was starting a military.

Thanks. I'll check it out. But, so far, Kyanges has supplied me with all I've needed.

Sounds good, that's what I did myself.

:) What else do you think I should purchase besides what I already have?

I know I'm going against what I said, but you should do something with your navy, it is a bit lacking in variety and that would make vulnerable so I'd get some different ships also.

That sounds goo too.. Seeing as my country is an "island," I should.

You know, although I value you as a customer, as a player, I suggest that you do look around for other deals from other store fronts. For my store front, I tried to offer the most varied equipment, but in doing that, I lacked greatly in variety within those equipment classes.

In other words, while I offer everything from guns to a few ships, if you really want variety when choosing a ship that's the best for your Navy, you would far better off looking at a store front that is dedicated towards ships.

Besides, even though you did make me you main military provider, that doesn't mean that must buy exclusively from me. Shop around, that's your best choice.

Don't worry, you'll still get that discount. ^_^

Thank you. I will keep that in mind. ^_^

Half those links can't be found, might wanna check them.

Hmm... thats really weird... I'll fix it tomarrow.... -_- zzzz or sometime... They worked before... now im going to have to go back and edit AAAALL of them.... >_< oh well...

Ok. I fixed most, if not all of them except for the XM-8 Battle Rifles. I couldnt find that link again. >_<

Permit me to assist you Althis, I have the images you need.

Thank you. I appreciate it. :)

Always a pleasure to be of service.

If anyone else has any sugestions (even "You should buy ___ gun!!), PLEASE, by all means tell me. Im open to all.

entertaining

What does entertaining have to do with anything? O.o

I'd suggest not starting with the XM8 as your standard rifle. You don't have the worst economy, but your economy is only "Strong". Strong, is basically in the middle. It's a mediocre rating. So, really expensive equipment would be difficult to maintain. It would be better for the XM8 to be a secondary rifle, only for special forces or your elite divisions. If your sticking with American weapons, use either the M16A2 or M4A1 as your standard weapon. If not, go with the AK-74 or AK-47. The AK-47 may be out-of-date, but it is still easy to build, use, maintain, ect.

As you build your army you want to do either of the following:

1. Use American Equipment
2. Use Russian Equipment
3. Use Your Own Equipment

Mixing can get confuzing. With making your own stuff, you can make it similar to the American or Russian stuff and mix them. However, don't mix American or Russian stuff. The logisitics is horrible.

Of course, these arn't the only choices. They're simply the most common. The Brits and French and Germans have plenty of top-notch equipment that you could use as well.

Ok. I fixed most, if not all of them except for the XM-8 Battle Rifles. I couldnt find that link again. >_<

Hey Althis You should look more into your infantry if you want to have a great war machine such as my grand army. Remember you can have all the bombs and all the ships but you still have to have that little guy that goes into the other guys fox hole and makes them surrender.

I officially have 8 million troops

I come from a naval family, so call me bias, but that navy needs to be a lot bigger. A suggest at least 10 battleships, and 5 carriers. If you need help, I can hook you up. If you're interested, TG me.

Just letting you know, you have the Su-36 and MiG-28 listed as carrier aircraft - unfortunatly these models don't have naval variants.

When I ordered them, I asked if you could modify them for me..

"Most MiG's and Sukhoi's available in K model. This adjustment allows them to be carrier based. Please ask about this if you wish to purchase any K models."

Yes, it says this in my storefront. It says most.

Ooooh... IS there a way to convert them? If not, which ones SHOULD I buy?

Bump JUST TO GET PEOPLE TO REPLY!! xD

Bumpety Bump!!!

I've decided to cut the amount of soldiers to 5 million. The extra 3 million will be given jobs producing goods for the army.

If you ever need any cheap rifles, tanks, planes, or even frigates, Nueve Italia has a surplus amount from our Civil War. Of course, most of this weaponry is our own homemade brand, so it's relatively easy to produce. If your interested, let me know

Also, I suggest organizing your soldiers into combat groups now. Makes them efficient to manage, easy to deploy, and all-around a better fighting unit

That is a great idea. The Federation of Althis is seeking someone to organize our army. We are willing to pay a fair price for this (preset, and prepaid).
