The Terran Dominion believes that its forces are capable of defeating any numerically comparable force sent against it, to prove it we challenge any and all comers to meet us for wargames that will begin at the end of this(RL) week, we will field these forces against any force that does not outnumber us by more than tenthousand. These are virtual wargames and are to prove that we do indeed have the most powerful ground forces in existence.(Do not be pissed by my numbers, if you play SC you know how easily Marines die, just like everything else in that game)

Initial deployment

Infantry:

300,000 Dominion Marines
30,000 Firebats
30,000 Dominion Medics
500 SpecOps(Ghosts, EMP grenades instead of lockdown, 3 each)
5,000 SCVs

Armor:

30,000 Vulture Scout Bikes
30,000 Goliath Walkers
20,000 Arclite Siege Tanks

Airforce:

5,000 Valkyries
1,000 Wraiths


EDIT: I guess I should note that this ismost of the army here, not a single corps or anything.

I may join, what's the 'upper limit' on tech?

Very well.

The sovereign Realm of Hyperspatial Travel believes it can beat you, without breaking a sweat.

Infantry:

25 000 Elite All-Situation Combat Troops (Quality over quantity)
2500 Constructor Vehicles
Armor:
1700 Prototype Hover Tanks
350 Prototype Hover Bombardment Units
15 000 Light Armor Speeder Craft (For troop transport)

Air:
1 Tyon Cruiser
2 Nalashe Destroyers
750 Orit Interceptors
225 Hyon Fighters
(I traded in about 20 000 armor units and 150 000 infantry for my kickass destroyers. Quality over quantity.)

exactly what would be semi-ft? I'm farily extreme Star Wars ft.

I use clones, at-at's, and my own version of the sith. I'd list everything down, but I need to be sure.

Ok, I'll just clarify a few things.

My Elite All-Situation Combat Troops are essentially 3x better than your average marine. They have utility paks, can climb with an anti-grav generator, but their weapons aren't significantly better. They have medic-style healing units, which kick in whenever they're hurt. Not very tactical, but great for a prolonged campaign.

My Constructor Vehicles are pretty much the same as an SCV, (If we're on the ground, are they still called SCVs?) and construct stuff, mainly moving dirt and the like quickly to form makeshift forts.

The Hover Tanks are like Siege Tanks, except better protected, easy to repair, and carry twin turrets, one which fires explosive matter, another which fires volatile plasma.

The Bombardment Units fire huge long-range minor-nuclear fire, but mainly fire a standard bomb, great for destroying fortifications.

The Speeder Craft carry a single mounted high-powered bio-rifle, a bullet which contains deadly substances. It moves extraordinarily quick, and is mainly used as transports.

The Tyon carries laser turrets, missiles, and every type of weapon open to the mind, as well as heavy shields. It's the mainstay of HT Invasion Force, used primarily for ultra-quick transport and deployment. The weaponry is usually partially discarded in favour for heavier protection.

Nalashe Destroyers are small, and carry a kinetic repulsion shield, as well as 24 turrets, and carry mainly interceptors and fighters. Most craft in the HT fleet are modified to carry fighters and troops, anticipating a drawn-out ground campaign.

Orit Interceptors are extrodinarily fast, have a distortion devices, making it nearly invisible to the unseen eye, and almost totally invisible to sensors. It carries twin missile launchers, and is made simply to drop in behind an enemy craft and fire into it's engine ports.

Hyon fighters carry bombs, lasers, and a heavy shield device. These things are made to destroy infantry fortifications, and carry minor armaments on the off-chance they come up against enemy air craft.

I may join, what's the 'upper limit' on tech?

No major FT, nothing past Terran Dominion level, preferably, although a little past is acceptable.

That's probably acceptable, as long as you're okay with the ghosts and wraiths doing their thing.

So limited to projectile weapons, basically PMT, correct?

I know how Ghosts and Wraiths opporate considering I typically play as Terrans in SC as well.

Anyways, here's what I'm thinking of using for my army:

(I'm quantity over quality BTW)

Infantry:
350,000 ]Huntarian Clone Troopers (http://rpggamer.org/shippics/stormrider.jpg)
40,000 Space Marines
20,000 Terminator Droids
20,000 Space Marine Terminators (elite troops)
1,000 Kirtir Warriors (Huntaer's version of a Sith Warrior)

Armory:

5000 AT-STs
6000 Speeder Bikes

20 Land Raider Crusaiders
10 Vindicators

Air Support:

1000 Tie Darts (more advanced than Tie Fighter)
100 Tie Phantoms mk 2
100 Lambda Class Shuttles

You can have lasers and such, just not uber 14z3rs of deth, or anything like that, powered armor is also acceptable, although the ACS is a no-no.

You realise that in "calling our bluff" you are horribly outnumbered, I alone am moere than twice your strength, and there are others with more men than I have, but if you wish to face us with such a small force we will not stop you.

The Games will begin tomorrow, at approxomitely 1:00 EST, others may still apply, although all applications for the first round must be in by the beginning of the games tomorrow.

OOC: Hmmm....maybe I should scale up my troops. Added more raw infantry and more Jedi and Powered Armor support.

Well, I'm deploying 300K Marines, so you might want to do that little thing.


EDIT: Ok, that's lot better than what you had previously, since I'm deploying most of an army...

OOC: Scaled up the shuttles they'll be transported in, too, and the air forces. This is a virtual wargame, right?

Yes, it is, all losses will be "resurrected" at the end of each round.

Ok, upon noting the amount of opposition I'm upgrading my armored contingents, as well as my airforce, and I may add some battlecruisers if necessary.

Is my "army" a good size for this RP? My actual army is like, 12x the size of this, even bigger. This is just a war game after all.

I've decided to pull out on account of there are too many people involved and I remember what happened last time.

It's good size, a little big, but so is mine.

Ok, this is everybodies last chance to sign up for round one. After 12:00 EDT today the round one signups will be closed and round two signups will begin, while the RP will begin at the same time.
