Ok, so Einhauser doesnt really have a military. I mean, I say it does, and it does have troops, but they aren't divided into divisions or amies or anything. Hell, I dont even have a list of what number of such and such equipment I have.

I need help form some1 with a winning military to divide my soldiers, tell me what tanks I should use, what planes, what boats, so on and so forth. You can read about what I have so far in my factbook. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=8363220#post8363220)

supply lines are key...

...which is a problem because I only have 13 destroyers to protect my massive coastline (granted, a series of seabases help protect them, but still...).

I have the perfect aircraft for a small, growing nation. All of my prices are bellow $1 million. Check us out today!

Thats kind of you, but Einhauser has its own line of aircraft.

Depends on what your military is good in. For example, you might stock up or emphasize on aircraft if you are particularly lethal with bombing runs. Or light tanks are nice if you are good at raids, etc.

for example, me, I'm effective in Surprise attacks, but it's hard to Rp that without Godmoding. :(

Getting the jump on someone without godmodding is easy. Just contact the person ahead of time and discuss OOCly to get realistic results with the person's approval.

Back on topic, might I suggest you select forces that are versatile. Armored troops with shotguns and machetes are good at what they do, but won't go far in trench warfare. For example, Muktar's infantry is armed with AK-47s, smoke grenades, and a machete. They also have kevlar on their torso and legs, plus a helmet.

For vehicles, I would suggest a treaded tank, with dual treads on each side (essentially like a car has its wheels) for maximum ability to handle tough terrain. A heavy main gun is prefered that can function as either anti-vehicle or artillary, but you're also going to want crews to defend it from being stormed.

As for air and naval, I take too specialized of an approach to help there.

you do know a vz.61 is considered an automatic pistol.

if you want more help you can tg me otherwise ill rot and die

I don't either. The worst thing someone can do as a declaration of war is to say, "Okay, I send ____ soldiers, ____ F-16s, ____ destroyers, etc, etc, etc." Know your limits with regards to the population. North Korea has the world's largest proportional military, and 5.05% of their population is in the military. Naturally, there's logistics personell and the number would have to be less anyways to keep your economy healthy.

The US is generally a good measuring stick. Take your population and divide it by the US government, and use this number as a multiplier. If you've got an economy thriving or below, you might want to use another country as a measuring stick, but having a general idea usually suffices. RP is concerned with the story, not with the numbers. As long as you don't violate the numbers flagrantly (stat-wanking), you're all set.

I guess id specialize in urban warfare. i mean, I have never RPed urban before, but my entire country is pretty much a giant city.

Not according to http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm. They classify it as a submachine gun.
