Automagfreek VS Praetonia OOC thread

Here is the IC thread: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=439182

Now, both parties have agreed to keep this RP semi-closed. The 2 main parties, Praetonia and myself, will only be taking 1 or 2 allies each. Those allies are as follows:

Closed Play

Forces of Gholgoth:

Automagfreek
Pantera
Aequatio

Forces of Praetonia:

Praetonia
Sarzonia
Hogsweat

I would prefer if the 2 main nations in this conflict, myself and Praetonia, did most of the fighting against eachother. Our 1 or 2 allies can fight amongst themselves, dropping in to fight one of the 'main' nations every once in awhile, but for the most part let's keep it AMF VS Praetonia.

Now, this does NOT mean that everyone else cannot participate in this war. Everyone else who is allied on either side can have at it, and I'll log all face offs in this first post.

Count me in.

I've said that Praetonia is one of two countries I'd be willing to risk war with AMF against. Now it's time to prove it.

EDIT: However, I will not stand for dogpiling. These RPs have to have structure or they're going to collapse.

You can join in the open play if you want, but not the closed play.

Sarzo, I'll be overseeing RP structure and so forth, but with the help of yourself and the others involved of course.

I've got this war divided into 2 categories: Open Play, and Closed Play.

The Closed Play nations do not have to fight anyone else if they do not want to, however Open Play is fair game for allies on both sides to duke it out.

Open play is open to everyone.

You can either declare a theatre now or wait until fighting starts. In Open Play, there won't be limits as to how many can fight a particular nation.
Yallak

Ever since i got back from my extended absence due to crappy exams etc my trigger finger has been itching for an all out war.

Seeing as my nation is isolationist - ill find a way to join in when the fighting starts.

AMF, I suggest we make this a no "n00kz!!!" war, (that doesn't include tactical nukes, although you may want it to)
But I'm wondering what you think on Biological and Chemical weapons? not used en masse, but just on a tactical scale.

AMF, I didn't see your note about keeping the main fighting between you and Praetonia until after I posted my deployment of the DontPissUsOff. Do you need me to edit that out?
Hogsweat
24-08-2005, 15:09
Well sarz, i'd be assuming that AMF's allies would be acting alongside AMFs fleet, or at least in it's vicinity.
Automagfreek
24-08-2005, 15:11
Sarz, makes no difference to me.

Hog, no nukes. Bio/chem weapons are ok but only on small scales, unless the other party agrees otherwise.
Hogsweat
24-08-2005, 15:13
Okay- thanks. That was what I was assuming. You know, use the casual napalm bomb or two to flush out infantry, etc etc. Not on a mass WMD scale.
Praetonia
24-08-2005, 15:15
I dont generally view napalm, fuel air bombs etc as being WMDs. The only NBC weapons that I will use (unless, of course, they are used on me first) will be bio weapons for use against crops and the like, although this may change.

I rather not immediately decide, I think Aust will be more then a match for you alone, but for me he's got like a 99% chance of wiping out my main units before they can even fire.

I need a newer and less experienced enemy. Besides, my main General (Minerva) is busy taking care of a conflict so I need to figure out what General and what style/tactics are good against who and how to do it.

I'll get back to you on that. Though since this is one side vs the other, it means at SOME POINT I'll have to go against Aust if I survive long enough to dispatch another person.

My nation's military is heavily naval based (being an island nation) so I hope that I can be placed against someone similar with a roughly similar population size as well. Any volunteers on the AMF side?


Though I could always join up with another younger nation and we could take on an older one, not sure if your trying to avoid things like that though.

Whoa....Naval vs Naval....you sure? Kjata Major may be a collection of islands, but for all purposes we are not a major naval power. We have ONE aircraft carrier. The SACBF Habbakuk. Everything else is basically Hein's controlled Bora-class ships. We're no match when it comes to naval power. We have one thing which was made special and while it may be a fortress it's nothing against a naval force.

Whoops, accidently posted with my non-RP account. Anyway, I'd like to sign up as AMF supporter. Even though the OOC and IC relation between me and AMF isn't exactly... florishing I'd think this would be a fun change of events. Normally I'd be indifferent, but since this is AMF's last roleplay (people told me this) I want to be on this like a moth around a torch.

Sign me up as AMF supporter.

Hmm, possible to have a neutral observer? I won't be involved (at least, not militarily) on either side of the conflict, but I want to RP my government's responses to the turmoil at hand - especially since Hogsweat is of great importance to us. If added, I'll be more of a neutral diplomatic observer at best (dealing more with politics than actual warfighting), but I'm sure that it will contribute somewhat given the rather uneven relation between AMF and the Omzian Republic in the past, and the allied relations to all three nations on Praetonia's side.

I didn't have a clue this thread existed until I got three PMs, both on MSN and IRC, about how badly Pretonia was getting PWNED. *sigh*

Allright, just to make some things clear:

I didn't get any TG from Krieg. Strange, considering I only have three TGs in my box.

My navy is, well, it could be called anemic. It numbers less than 100 surface ships, most new but many dragged from mothballs. I have one carrier. One.

I have one of the(if not the) world's largest fleet of submarines and the largest in scale to a surface fleet. To put that in perspective: The surface fleet following AMF is about fifty ships. It has over 150 Supremacy Class submarines travelling in and around it.

They will likely be the only part of my forces in combat. Unless any of you are braindead enough to try landing troop in Crimmond, which would be suicidal for your forces.

Secondly, it looks like people are criminally underestimating Praetonia. Those who think he's just going to be cannon fodder are in for a rude awakening. AMF himself described the Closed RP section as being an all star cast of sorts. I don't want us to disappoint him.

It's 'Praetonia' and the RP hasnt started yet <.< >.> but thanks for the input. My battlefleets (ie everything except the coast guard, submersible navy and various 'drifting' fleets) are listed via the link in my sig below. My navy is somewhat massive but the army and its attached airpower is rather small, at a total of only 2,000,000 including logistics and vehicle crews. Generally with large battles involving multiple ships I dont refer to stats of individual ships as they quickly become lost in the overall battle, but I can provide links if they are required.

Sort of like the States' "arsenal of democracy" during WWII. I'm not sure I could get militarily involved and come out alive.

General Hein is the NBC General. He'll nuke AMF with tactical nukes and chemical strikes and unload massive amounts of weapons on people. If he is going to be defeated he has a massive nuke inside of his base that is the 'Mother of all Nukes'

Problem...Hein is unstable, and so's his missile.

That would be appropriate, eh? Not sure how well it'd work against a more technologically advanced opponent, though; the only reason I could get away with it in Saharistan was because he was using crappy Soviet equipment.

After a major war he probably wouldnt have the resources of the will to do so, and would probably settle with favourable peace treaties. Anyway, I think it's unlikely that my allies and I will "lose" per se... we may not win but Im not sure if the other side have the ability to defeat our navies.

Illior, I'm considering siding with Praetonia and Sarzonia (Woodstock Pact members) and, though not large or industrialized enough to fight a full scale war, would be willing to have a few air-battles and skirmishes with you - nothing to threaten either nation signifigantly, but enough to keep things interesting. If you'd like to, we could arrange that.

EDIT: This means I am siding with the OMP.

Wonderful. I would like, however, to stress that this should be a limited engagement, carried out mostly at sea and in the air. I've recently been annexed already, and that nation (Azazia) is inactive for the time being. Thus, I can hardly begin a ground war or attempted invasion of my homeland as it would involve his occupation forces to a great extent.

I would be very interested in joining in...as a close ally of Sarzo's due to the Woodstock Pact (same with Prae') and the fact that Hoggie was my first ally. (and I've stayed his ally ever since).

While I may not have much time to RP, I would be looking to fight a war with a larger nation who can RP well; as RP'ing well is one of the things I pride myself on. Possibly Crimmond...I have a large Submarine force as well (most of my military budget is in my Navy, due to the fact I am on an Island, making YAfor 2 extremely difficult to conquer) which could make things interesting.

Just my little addition.

I'm unlikely to commit my full military might to this conflict unless my nation itself is attacked or blockaded, or full commitment is necessary to achieve an objective I deem vital to my interests.

It is probably a short list of those who have had a go at AMF technology, but i'm about to join it. These 'Crawlers' are a very interesting idea, but as these are on the sea floor and modern ships tend to float; the magnetic mines would sink. The general rule is The more magnetic it is: the heavier your magnet. It would be semi-plausible as an anti-sub weapon, but against ships it would be like holding a steel spoon out of a second story window and expecting the magnet to jump up from the ground outside.

Of course, the spoon (if anything) would be pulled down, which raises the possibity for giant electromagnetic plates on the sea floor that when turned on simply pull enemy ships under.

Maybe you have mostly hollow mines, with a thin magnetic coating and large air spaces. It could work, but i doubt the magnets would be strong enough to change the mines course. Still, if you waited until the ship was above the crawler and then released them, they wouldn't have to move anywhere but upwards.

If you ask me you should use bio weapons. They'll spread very quickly in the forrest and the HP troops (who will be resistant to normal diseases in the forest) wont have resistance to them. It's also fairly easy for you to make it look like it's just a new disease in the forest rather than a biological attack.

Sure, try what you want. Remember, Holy Panooly (the island, not all surrounding territories) is the size of Canada and Alaska. Alliance Island is smaller, comparable to Mexico. The map's not on scale, but that doesn't really matter.

PS: Bulldozers and lumberjacks. I can't imagine any more straightforward thinking. Holy Panooly is a highly active volcanic area, the jungles aren't plains with a thick vegetation. Hills, canyons, rifts, lakes, depressions and other things that don't promote four wheel drive. But then again, you're speaking as I do not know how to throw intruders off my islands. Aust will manage to have a base, but it's not going to be some laid-back Paul Bunyan like logger camp. Mind you, a jungle isn't anywhere near the forests in Maine or BC, Canada. Only if you've been there yourself you will know the difference.

Maybe you have mostly hollow mines, with a thin magnetic coating and large air spaces. It could work, but i doubt the magnets would be strong enough to change the mines course. Still, if you waited until the ship was above the crawler and then released them, they wouldn't have to move anywhere but upwards.


Allow me to explain.

The crawler does most of the targeting just before the mine is released. The mines have floatation devices on it to allow it to quickly float to the surface. A simple high power electro magnet gives the mine greater precision, as to protect against a mine possibly going off course.

The mine is a deadly cocktail of high explosives, designed to either blow the bottom of a ship to pieces, or cause an air pocket so great that the ship breaks its own keel.

Yes, that would work, i was assuming that the explosive content would be something heavy and that normal magnets would be used. Thinking about it, normal magnets would make the mines bunch together and explode; if anything damaging the crawler. Electromagnets are the solution to this, and provided you keep weight down then physics wont get in your way.

Mine fields....I hate them so MUCH! Mine fields are worthless pieces of crap that shouldn't be legal in the real world. Though warfare doesn't have rules....till you lose.

Personally I'd just just Metal Storm technology weapons and surprise the shit out of boats. Though i haven't built them at sea yet, I have them ALL along the coast. They are cheap and effective. Minefields are too weak and horrible. On land they are deadly to people after the conflict. At sea they are annoying, but easier to 'clear' them.

Personally I'd just just Metal Storm technology weapons...Metal Storm has some major drawbacks, at least as far as last ditch weaponry goes. For one thing, it takes a while to reload and if you were to use it as sort of a CIWS system on a ship, it would take too long to load for it to be useful. That's why I originally adopted the 35 mm Millennium Gun as my CIWS system until I combined it with my Yellow Jacket mini-SAMs into a full-on CIWS suite.

Anti-Ship platforms are unreloadable for me, I self-destruct them after they use all the ammo. Cause its a little ball in the ocean that generally will go unnoticed and can fire like crazy.

Ones on the coast I can reload in thirty seconds. All it is the tubes. with a 'handle' you can take the entire tubes out and place in exact same copies with one hand. This means the configuration is forced, but rapid. Going one by one is like a 5-10 minute reloading process. If you watched the videos (and I am guessing you seen all of them) you can see it's about 30-40 seconds are so for a casual reload and firing of a single tube.

My process involves a plastic and steel back that with a single hand twist and pull you can pull it out and throw the empty rounds on the ground, then put in another box instantly. Just like reloading a tank. With a duel-pod launching system you will never run out rounds unless you push it.

I noted in your last post that your fleets are opening fire on mine. I scratched my head because all my ships had begun moving back towards the AMF-Panteran straight. The 2 SD's were the only vessels that could fire at Cariya, because they sport 25 inch guns. All my other ships were out of range, including my missile frigates, and as a result they are out of your range as well.

Just a small technicality, because the SD's are moving and firing at the same time, shooting maybe a dozen shells each.

The Warspite carries 20x27" guns, but the other classes carry 25" only. In addition, the Warspite is slightly smaller and can travel a knot (wow, amazing) faster than the others.

Basically, my fleet is trying to cut in parallel to yours and move at the same speed (hard, though) while keeping up a running engagement with your gunships.

My submarines are moving on electric at full speed at about 300m below, trying to chase your fleet. The nuclears are staying behind.

Would you like to know the numbers/classes (with brief explanation) of my fleet or is that not necessary?

I don't really care about numbers or explanations, so I won't waste your time and make you post it.

So realistically the Warspite is the only craft that could effectively hit my SD's. The 27" guns give them a bit more range than the 25", so yes you could still hit me. I say this because I have a slight head start over you, because the main bulk of the fleet has already been moving, and the SD's stayed a little further back to be within firing range.

I'll take damage from the Warspite for sure, the rest we'll have to discuss.

It's not the fact that they're made of metal, it's the fact that they're made of something different from their surroundings, ie. the sea bed. I should also point out that "composite" isnt a material in and of itself... I would have to know what they are actually composites of to decide how well sonar would pick them up, but for the sake of simplicity I'm fairly confident in saying that moderate - large numbers of artifical objects moving under my fleet would be picked up in whole or in part.
