Mercenariess For Hire

We are mercenaries to put it plainly and we sell soldier who will do whatever is nessesary to make money for their Clans. If you would like to know a little bit of background information about Mercenariess see our Factbook Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9111538#post9111538). As you can see from the overall description we are a quasi-nation devoted to bringing mlitary forces to any, for a price. You can either pay for quality, quantity or a combination thereof. There is three types of pricing, they are listed below with price modifiers. However we would note that our own generals do have preference when it comes to command, thus most of our troops will be under their own leadership with the general recieving instructions from the hiring nation(so I can RP my own people). All hiring nations must make avaliable logistical support unless the nondisclosure option is chosen. Be sure to note that you are not buying the equipment listed, just its use. Also note that most equipment is second or third hand to keep prices down and that it may not be up to original specification. We require the hiring nation to give us some stats about the target nation before we begin any military operations. Please do you own math, this is a feature at all storefronts so you should be used to it by now. Beside standard armament each mercenary carries his or her own personalized mix of grenades and other sundry weapons of war.

Supported by hiring nation: 1x
This means that our mercenaries will be added to a larger army supplied by the nation that is hiring us, bolstering thier own forces with our own.

Unsupported by hiring nation: 3x
The hiring nation has decided that we are going to go this one alone. They give us a target and unleash us on the world, this only works if the nation has bought amphibious asssault packages or the nation has borders with another nation. This will result in heavy mercenary causulaties and thus costs much more.

Unsupported with non-disclosure: 5x
In the other two options we make no claim that we won't sell who paid us and supplied logistics, and the going rate for that sort of information is very high. Not only do we have to supply our own logistics but you are buying our silence with this option. It is perfect if you want to settle some old scores or simply hurt another nation for what they did. Perfect for humanitarians that want to punish small totalitarian governments or small nations who want to lash out a large ones secretly.

OOC: Do you have assassins for hit jobs?

OOC: Not really, if you really wanted we could do a special job but mostly be sell large military forces not individuals. Of course you could hire a division to do an assasination but that would depend on the the defences of the country whose leader you want assasinated.

Bump!

Now even cheaper for unsupported and non-disclosure operations!

OOC: Dude. You should do a specialist section. Y'know, when you need a single Ubersniper, or other such rather than a whole Division. I reckon people would use that more, as most everyone has their own army and doesn't think beyond it's capabilities.

OOC: Mostly I thought that people would want either unsupported divisions because that way they don't risk their own troops or non-disclosure because then they can attack whomever they want to and not have any reprecussions. After all they can easily get thier own sniper etc. but anonymus divisions are harder.

OOC: I might have a job for one or more of your Elite Amphibious Assault Division(s), once I see what the specs for one are. Of course, if I do hire a division, I'll be buying the Unsupported & Non-Disclosure option with them. We'll see.

I added the Elite Amphibious Assault Division, remember if a successful landing is made then the ships can land Infantry Divisions if they are purchased.

More updates including new weapons for other divisions and a artillery division.

Helicopter and Aircraft now included, made it even cheaper for unsupported and nondisclosure. Now only x3 and x5 respectively.

ooc: :P I bet I could offer a better Merc. Service, and they would kick your merc's ass. Yea I have better equipment then actual modern tech stuff...but it would be considered 2010 or around there abouts.

OOC: I'm sure you could :p , but it would cost more then 10 times as much. You're also a true nation and thus open for reprisal attacks.

ooc: Actually...no that's where you're wrong. Mine would be much cheaper, you over charge way way way to much.

OOC: Not if you assume that all equipment will be lost in the conflict. Then you get a net loss if no one comes home. Most people will use merc forces as cannon fodder, so you will have 70-90% causualties.

ooc: No no that's where you're wrong again. First of all I wouldn't offer merc. services in such large numbers as you have done, no one needs an entire army. I would offer a small force that would carry out a wide range of missions. Also psst things are cheaper for me to produce since I have a government controled economy, thus I don't have to "buy" the weapons. Only expense being used would be the materials, that already come from my country.

OOC: Thats the second thing, if you attack someone they will attack you back. So essentially you are declaring war as a nation for money, whereas I'm essentially beyond reprisal but hold practically no power as a nation. Also mines second hand stuff and priced that way, even government produced stuff of equal quality will be only slightly less expensive. Government good produced that are higher tech will be equally more expensive.

ooc: No that's where you're wrong...again. I wouldn't send my troops in battle waving Nano Soft flags all around screaming that Nano soft has pwnzr you. It would all be done secretly...

Besides any losses I would take can easily be paid for.

That is where you assume that whomever you are attacking is an idiot. If the nation that you attacked had an intelligence bureu of any kind they could easily figure out it was you, especially if any of your troops are captured. Since you will be using your citizens it will be hard to explain how you suddenly misplaced a few divisions. Especially if your government is churning out weapons this means that the troops will be easily traceable to you. You can't just switch out uniforms and pretend that no one will recognize your troops and where they are from. Of curse you could pay for the losses, but thats the point, your losses will cost you money giving you a negative income off the operation. Sure you could sustain it for a little whle but if anyone ordered large numbers of troops for major operations it could practically bankrupt your nation. It might not go that far but why give away troops to random nations for no profit to you?

ooc: Having mercs wear the same uniform as you national army is the samething as waving a nano soft flag in the air. That's why you take your merc group, make it an another branch all together, and you have diffrent uniforms and everything.

OOC: Thats what I said, simply changing the uniform won't make people not realize who the troops belong to. They might have to RP it a little but it would be easy to identify whose troops they are.
