I've been on NS for about a month, and I've been building up an army, but I don't know where to go from here. I figured I can't get to much bigger. Any help?
Also I'm looking to get into a RP with someone. I'm kinda new to the whole thing.

OOC:

A hint standardise everything at the moment that just reads like a list of 'look what I have got'.

Split your forces up into units/divisions/regiments etc and then state, what a standard Regiment has, it makes for easier reading.

Also, your small you want a few Multi-Use Fighters to act as your airforce. Bombers come much later when you get to 200-300 Million then you can consider a bomber arm even if it's quite small.

OOC: Your ground forces (combat) consist of 6,000 Marines, 120 Humvees, thirty-two LAVs, and eight Main Battle Tanks, plus some other stuff. It might just be me, but that seems rather small. In other words, a couple of standard regiments would outnumber you. I don't know if you wanted it that way, but I thought I'd point it out.

I'd go for a larger army, and a larger fighter wing for your air force. Navy is fine, though. Might want to standardise it into regiments.

OOC: One suggestion - go space tech. ^.^

Hey, it works!

Blacktick suggests a much larger land force in terms of manpower. In a war, you would never outlast an oppenent.

OOC: Yeah, use percentage, divide your population by 100, then times it by 2 of 3... That should give you troop amounts.
Ramissle

OOC: Or you could just multiply by .02 for two percent, .015 for 1.5% etc. etc.....
I'd personally suggest you just redo it from there.

Your concentration on bombers is expected but, as mentioned, quite unnecessary. I suggest you start purchasing for yourself some of the hi-tech fighters (At least F-22 Raptors) as soon as possible. Those F-14 Tomcats are not suitable for combat given NS's air force standards.

If you are desperately short of cash, telegram me. I have a large number of aircraft already, and some of my fighters are expendable.

OOC: I know, I just like making peoples' lives that much more difficult :)

I'm impressed by the level of detail you put into your marine expeditionary force. Some of the numbers at the other levels need to be worked upon, though.

OOC: Lol... Now lets stop hijacking this thread and give him some genuine help.
I suggest you just try to increase your economy, its the only way you can afford much more.

Don't worry. If somebody invades you for no reason, you can always ignore him.

Or you can be a Protectorate [/land whore mode]

Either way, I don't have advise for your army. Due to the fact that I did the same to do my Armed Forces. And keep your army small if you want, I have a small ass army, but with elite training.

Big armies, bah.
