I'm just curious on how armies are put together, and how the people view their forces. What is your armies' 'best' point? What's the focus of your army?

What's mine? Chemical and Biological Weaponry. I'm determined to be the best at it, to have the strongest Chemical Weaponry in the MT scale. I'm rising my way up in the scales, and I have alot of Chemical rivals (such as Raven Corps), but it's progressing well for me.

From Acidic vapours to Cancer inducing 'cookies', Jenrak's greatest asset is the chemical weaponry, and it suits when I frequently have civilian riots. I don't want them dead, just paralysed or tortured, and gas sure helps alot.

Hm I think my infantry are good. Especially when fighting in home snows. If only this was as important as it used to be.

My militaries focus is Biological and Spec Ops, they both get a lot of funding.

I am best in HG in Biological Warfare [IMO] and my foreign cell could be....RIGHT BEHIND YOU...THE SECURTIY GUARD...TOO THE LEFT...THE ONE HOLDING A .45 TO YOUR FACE...BYE BYE!

Air, no doubt. My nation prides air superiority to win combat engagements.

Aircraft. Paratroopers, space, stuff that has to do with airplanes.

The Black Guard
(They have units in all services)

But apart from them, its a tough, choice, my military is quite well balanced
But my tanks are very good, then again, so are my carriers, and my fleet of aircraft.

so hard to choose.

I can tell you who's the worst, the Civil Defense, encompasses everyone under 55 and over 16 whos not in the armed forces. Uses all sorts of equipment, from state of the art, to relics. They recieve the worst kinds of officers and leadership tho.

I focus on all of my military, but I'm currently revamping my land force, so I vote Armor.

I try to balance my forces, but my air force is considered the best equipped of my five main branches (Air, Sea, Land, Space, Civil Defense).

My military focuses on air power by achieving air dominance in an arean while bombing the shit out of my enemy. Then comes my army and navy to wipe up what's left of the poor scum that was victim of my fury. :p

His Nightmare fighters are evidence of that.

We are working on creating a multitude of specialized infantry-- anti-piracy brigades, ship capture brigades, heavy police units, armored infantry brigrades designed to take out tanks, armor, and kill troops.

How do you cope against an enemy with a large air force and nearly unbreakable series of SAM systems?

I focus on Space combat due to necessity, but I prefer Armor and Infantry tactics. Cavalry is fun, and I incorporate alot of it into my offensive actions.

My air and biochem is well funded.....the biochem is secret though.

Infantreez gunna kik yaz azziz!

yeah, err, Infantry, fighting in swarms and ripping peoples heads off.

my Mobile suit forces cover land, sea, air and space

A guided missile force to strike deep at enemy Anti-Air systems. An intelligence agency to find Anti-Air systems. And an Air Force to bomb the fuck out of stuff once the Anti-Air systems are gone.

The Navy. The Questarian Royal Navy boasts the largest battleship and aircraft carrier fleet in the entire world (I think, anyway, if anyone wants to challenge this, your call) God Save the Queen!

This is, of course, at the cost of an incredibly small army and land based airforce.

Geneticon specializes in aircraft and missiles.

I don't really have much of an army because Tommune is a hippie colony :cool:

:mp5: brings :(

Definetly aircraft, though there are distinct differences in the interpretation of airpower between the services. Most importantly, aircraft are the first military items sent to a combat situation in our military doctrine.

Politics.

A good diplomat can be more devastating for your enemies than a dozen armoured corps...

While I do have an excessively large bio-chem program, my nation's main focus is on its infantry, with a large focus on air cavalry and power armored soldiers.

yeah but who would you rather RP, a snooty guy in a suit or a fiersome army?

mine spec ops assaults and heavy fleet actions

I try and balance out my armed forces, but my specialty is a tie between land and sea.

But like Xirnium, diplomacy takes precedence and a good diplomat can be more dangerous than trained soldiers with fire-arms.

It'd be a close call between the Air Force and the Navy, the former has the best training and sometimes the best equipment, but the latter is larger in personnel and only slightly less trained. Being a nation comprised of islands, my Army is small and infantry-intensive but well-trained.

The person who holds the greatest amount of power, which in my nation at least is the politician.

If it ain't infantry, it ain't worth it!

Seriously though, the Killian infantry is the backbone of my armies. Even regulars are well trained, and everyone is highly mobile. I wouldn't have it any other way!

well without inf u have a couple of vehicles, which will be screwed when they encounter extrem climates (im talking MT) they're also extremly vunerable without inf cover

Airplanes are the best...ADMIT it!

You and your 'Psychological Warfare'...

Other.

At the moment, under Kraven occupation and slavery, its definately infantry and psycological warfare. Though after he finishes brutally bringing my people to the verge of extinction. I will probably try to become a Naval Power (big ships, missiles, subs, and of coarse carriers).

I would have to give the highest marks to the General Staff of my armed forces.

Yeah I know, thats why I just created an Army based around Psychological Warfare, its much easier... Living is just such a drain...

Fear tactics don't work very well on my forces. One of the few benefits to controlling a Theocracy.

The Grand Eternal Empire of Deatharon relies on the use of Nuclear and Chemical weaponry.

Yeah, I'd noticed when I fought against you breifly in the Norse Country War, good game that was while it lasted, shame Norse Country lost interest...

I'll drag up a link, if you want to get involved with it, part of Kravens Rebirth, cutting off some dead weight

Theres a Sign up thread being written for it that will give you a Breif of whats going on, Jagada is working on it as we speak

space combat and defence and underwater combat. Those that remember the name Dailey Remember that Daileyians are people who live in underwater Cities because the island is a wasteland used as a military base.

New Daileyian Empire is a Sub Category of the Daileyian Nation.

I'm just curious on how armies are put together, and how the people view their forces. What is your armies' 'best' point? What's the focus of your army?

Special ops and tactics.
Every citizen has to serve time in the military, and some begin training as children. We have military orphanages, for example, where unwanted children can find a home and acceptance.
We also have very few non-military related sports. The people ignore such fruitless pastimes like baseball, basketball, football, etc. in favor of war simulation games such as paintball, and personal combat tournaments.
Consequently, an enormous amount of energy is put into combat training and tactics.

Looks like a porno invitation.

Lol... Illior really doesn't have one specialty, but I f I had to choose one, It would be Air power. For those of you who remember, I had an Aircraft storefront a while back, designing and producing my whole air force and naval air power. Along with this, created my Land Order of battle. My whole army is based around mobility, mainly in helicopters designed to move troops and their supplies, based of of ships or ground, allowing for extreme flexibility...

OK, that's all. I promise!

In order from best to worst:
Special Ops (The Kirtir, huntaer's sith)
Navy (redesigned the star destroyer)
Air Craft
Armored craft
infantry

My specialty? Air/Space power (combined under one branch). However, SpecOps comes in a close second, and... everything else third. :p

Infantry first, with support from aircraft.

I might as well not even have a navy, its really just defense. I mean, even though its huge.

I would've put that first.... It's just that the Dark Side is too damn awsome to Rp with to ignore.

Infantry by far. Why? Because one can train a lot more infantry than you can build tanks.

True. So very true.

Although most of the time they seem to, it is not an unbreakable rule

PROHT compensates for its small military with liberal development in CBW (found definition that catagorises your home microwve as a WMD, especially if it kills something) and a large amount (2 full divisions) of special forces as our first line of defense and as our primary deterant, otherwise we fall back on our infantry, which is massive (over 900 divisions).

Of course the 'SOC' Police force I have is quite potent in its own right, since they include our Central Intelligence Agency and get all the cool triple hush stuff. Everyone else setles for common or at best, double hush.

I voted SF, though our Air Force has an a larger budget. The Shenyang Special Operations Command can and does have the capabilities to engage anyone, anywhere, anytime. The ODST, ODST Recon, the SAS, the 160th SOAR, Special Operations Detatchment Delta, Rangers, Marine Corps Airborne, Navy SEALs, Spetznaz/Osnaz, Force Recon, ISAF Commandos, and Splinters make up the single most comprehensive SOCOM unit list ever. It can do everything. Stealth, direct action, you name, Shenyang's got it. We use these guys for practically everything, and they always have top-line combat gear to help them get the job done and get home safe. SSOCOM all the way.

(This doesn't include non-military special forces, such as those under the command of Shenyangi Central Intelligence, though they are just as well funded as their military counterparts)

Most of the funding goes to air power and SF. We use small units and force multiplyers to win.

How do you cope against an enemy with a large air force and nearly unbreakable series of SAM systems?

Considering that 45% of my budget and military manpower goes to the Air Force, there only a few nations that have an air force considerablly large than me (most of them are actually my allies). As for SAM systems, there is no such thing as unbreakable. If you must know how I deal with them, I generally use long-range standoff ballastic missiles to hit the SAM sites from afar and out of their range before bringing in my fighters to wipe anything left over. I can effectively neutralize a nation's air defense with little risk on my own.

I've found that properly defended areas have relatively little problems with special forces. After all, there's not much that a few men can do against a facility with autoturrets, attack geese and a full garrison. All the training in the world doesn't mean squat when you're faced with a 120mm cannon firing grapeshot at anything that moves.

I'd have to go with navy, seeing as my nation is mostly surrounded by water...

but I'm still looking at a good ground force with plenty of mobility and shock, not to mention a fairly modern air force that works well :)

My main strength is my navy. I've been developing cavalry-type operations and my air strength, but no matter how good I get at any of it, my navy will be my calling card.

I don't have a speciality, per se. However, my army is very biased in composition towards heavy armour; tanks, IFVs, self-propelled artillery, etc. Another thing to know about my army is that it's very large, extremely well-equipped, and exquisitely trained. Of course, that's to be expected when an army takes up 55% of a twenty-eight trillion dollar defense budget.

I prefer Combined Arms

Sort of a hodge-podge here, especially with the smattering of military-employed Hermetics and paranimals, which makes the TT military rather unique.
