ATTENTION GALACTIC FEDERATION OF FREE ALLIANCES MEMBERS

It has been deemed necessary to host a series of wargames in order to test and improve the cohesion and command structure of the allied military forces.

As this is to be a test of tactical skill and solidarity in multiple theatres rather than overall functionality, the WarGames will take place on the world of Rinstoke, a desert world with bands of non-deciduous forest at the upper latitudes and small ice caps at each pole. The battlezone will be close to the northern forest edge.

Each nation that chooses to participate is requested to allocate the following forces to the engagement (If possible, designate class and function of each unit, links will work too.):

- 1 medium combat vessel in equivalence to a standard ISD
- 2 cruiser class vessels no larger than half a kilometer in length
- 75 standard infantry
- 25 heavy infantry
- 3 armored units
- 1 squadron of aircraft (no more than 5 fighters)
- The respective nation's highest military authority

Declaration of combat conditions will be divulged when the games begin.

Please sign up below. The games will be scheduled when it is deemed that a proper force can be assembled.

List updated. Wanna wait for a few more to sign up and then I'll start the wargames thread. For those who worry that this thing will start off too quick, there's gonna be a side-bit about Maxie explaining the conditions of the game.

The Horde can supply the following away from the front with the Galactic Empire.

Freewind Alpha Six, Hellscream-class (redubbed Freewind for this exercise)

Stonard Beta Eleven, Grimtotem-class (redubbed Stonard for this exercise)

Sepulcher Beta Twenty-Four, Grimtotem-class (redubbed Sepulcher for this exercise)

Renamed Hellfire squadron, 4 Talon-class fighters headed by a Drak'qua Mk.II

2 Deathwatcher tanks
1 Battlemaster All-purpose vehicle

Kalimdor 105th (partial), 75 elite grunts
Earthen Ring 12th, 25 shamans

Warlord Stonehoof commanding

I'm in!

Let's see...

Hellfire; Imperial II Class Star Destroyer
Purple, Orange; Strike Cruisers
(this be one of several standard configurations of a light task force)
Infantry: Two Platoons of Marines (50 men)

Heavy infantry: Two Cougar squads (8), two droid squads (four roger-rogers, two bulkies, two rollie-pollies), Two Timberwolf squads (8).

Armor: You'll be happy to note that I'm sending two Sabercats and one medium repulsarlift tank.

1 squadron of aircraft (no more than 5 fighters)
That's more like a flight. Nevertheless, it's five Incom- T-65E X-wings.

Highest Military Authority? You be talkin' 'bout de Lightning Master! He ain't Supreme Commander of the Coredian Interstellar Defense Force for nothing!

List updated... one or two more nations should be good. Don't want it to get TOO overcrowded.

I'll give sign-ups one more day, then I'll start the thread.

Surprised that Klington hasn't noticed this yet. I want to see how my little brainchild race works out.

Brainchild? I'm worried now...

Better hurry then.

Shame I've got all my combat vessels under 500m anyway...

I suppose an elite battlecruiser would come closest to ISD size in terms of battle capability

- 1 medium combat vessel in equivalence to a standard ISD
-- The Millenium, Battlecruiser Elite, Broadside Class (Non-standard).
--- Armed with 4 three-barreled plasma batteries
--- Rack of twenty antimatter torpedoes
--- Particle streamer (Spinal Mount)

- 2 cruiser class vessels no larger than half a kilometer in length
-- 2 Faith Class Point Defence Frigates
--- Armed with 12 Gatling Mass Drivers

- 75 standard infantry
-- 75 rifleman marines
--- APR-41 rifles
---- Ion beam
----- Single Shot
----- Burst Fire
---- Plasma fired flamethrower
--- Plasma grenades

- 25 heavy infantry
-- 20 Anti-Tank Marines
--- Assorted Rockets, rifles and missiles
--- SMP-2 Submachineguns
---- Ion beam
----- Burst Fire
----- Full Automatic
--- Fusion Charges
-- 5 Scouts (Because specialists aren't very well 'standard', are they?)
--- Gauss Rifles
---- Single shot
--- SMP-2 S Submachineguns (Shorter version)
---- Burst Fire

- 3 armored units
-- Luger mobile howitzer vehicle
-- Seer mobile command post and radar station
-- Bulldog gravtank
--- Ion Beam
---- Single Shot
---- Rapid Fire
-- Gatling Mass Driver

- 1 squadron of aircraft
-- 5 Timberwolf Fighters
--- Assorted Missiles

- The respective nation's highest military authority
-- Admiral N. Beldren, Onboard the Millenium

EDIT: Darn spaces.

Brainchild? I'm worried now...

OOC: Yar... a bunch of mystical silicon-based critters from a planet with approximately six times the gravity of earth. Ambient radiation and magnetic flux in the vicinity around their system forced them to develop a form of technology dependent on the force or some other mental energy.

Fast as a normal human, tough and strong as a tank. Could prolly one-hand a vulcan cannon without much loss of accuracy.

I will be bringing the following forces.

-1 Arc Class Medium Dreadnaught.
-2 Shade class Cruisers.
-75 ES Marines.
-25 Talons.
-3 Ragnar IFVs.
-1 Squadron of Sirai Class SSFs.
-All forces are controlled by the High Command Council.

(I really don't have a super leader. Only my president has that kind of authority, and well, she can't be commanding at the moment. Is this alright at all, or should I force a character?)

Any form of fleet commander would do.

I think it's really supposed to be not so much as a supreme commander, but one of your top brass who's putting their tactical abilities to the test.

I respectfully ask to join these War Games.

One question: Do the fighters on the starships count or not?

OOC: Last post for the night.

Updated listing, and signups are now closed. Gonna start up the thread, and should be able to get the initial stuff outta the way for the new year.

I see you've marked me down as a participant. I'm currently in a civil war, so you might not want to count on me.

I'd love to be in, but I'm thinking that I can't make it unless this takes place before the Thrashia v GE thing.

Technically, the game ain't supposed to start until the new year.

Everyone's ready, why not start it now?

Oh yeah, while I'm on the subject, would you mind if I made one of my soldiers into one of my main characters? He's no military bigwig, in fact he's quite low on the totem pole at the moment. However, I wanna get him interacting with other characters.

You never answered my question.



Do the troops and fighter craft aboard the starships count for this RP or not?

Technically, the game ain't supposed to start until the new year.
Assuming that I can get in this (as in: assuming I can finish the civil war in time or that we assume that this takes place afterwards), here's what I'll use:

- 1 medium combat vessel in equivalence to a standard ISD
Well... I don't have much in the way of ISD-scale ships. (I'm still planning how to make one) I'm gonna have to use one of Kyanges's flight one battlecarriers
1 Praemisus-class Cruiser/carrier: Forgehammer

- 2 cruiser class vessels no larger than half a kilometer in length
My Aardvark class cruisers break this by 100 meters... however, the first 100 meters of the craft is mostly a giant armored ram, storage, and auxiliary power.
2 Aardvark class line cruisers: Juliet and Maelstrom

The ground units hurts... I don't really have a ground wing of my military. Here's what I can scrounge up.
- 75 standard infantry
Standard Army troops (mine are the laughingstock of the universe):
62 rifleman
1 2-man sniper squad
2 3-man mortar squads
5 command/logistics/communications personel (2 supply repulsorsleds, 1 CV)


- 25 heavy infantry
25 Marines (marines normally do ship-to-ship boardings, repel borders, etc, but they are trained for this too)
2 2-man sniper units
3 command/logistics/communications/medic personel (1 supply/CV repulsorsled)
9 riflemen
1 2-man heavy machine gun unit.
2 engineers
2 Flechet troopers
3 anti-tank riflemen

- 3 armored units
I don't really have any in service, cept for some massive artillery.
1 Loronar MAS-2xB Sally Says linky (http://holonet.swrpgnetwork.com/showthread.php?threadid=17905&goto=nextnewest)
2 Beam tanks (similar to these (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8674045&postcount=56) but with a main beam cannon and a small slugthrower onboard instead of the standard weapons)

- 1 squadron of aircraft (no more than 5 fighters)
4 Snub class fighters, 1 Spade class bomber (Mixed squadron Echo, Linky (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=449905))

- The respective nation's highest military authority
Likely to get executed after the civil wars. I'll put down senior weapons designer Dr. Elizabeth Firenza for now. Not a good tacticion, but she'd be the highest LIVING person with the least loyalty questions in the wake of a civil war.
