Alright, I've decided to make this public. Me and Toopoxia are preparing to go to war with each other. This here is an OOC and sign up thread, and it's so we can hammer out the backstory for our little war.
Two-line posters are not welcome. Same for godmoders, of course.

I think what me and LNI had hammered out so far was that my Weapons organisation pisses people in LNI off until one of my high profile dudes in the company gets assassinated, then I send in spies to find out what's going on and he discovers my spys, and oila, we're at war.

Toopoxia, my question is, are we going to RP that out, or say that happened, past tense, in the first post?
Because, that's going to take forever. Probably. Maybe.

Yeah, just don't make my people do things out of character, oooh, you could assassinate Sergei Solov if you want, he's the current CEO of the organisation and he's really close to the leader of Toopoxia David Du'Font, plus I hate RPing as him cos he's a pansy.

No thats what makes them so damn hard to get. They are like a giant super corporation that employs 10% of the population, and basically runs the country, but are not in charge of the Confederate army, and can't do some things. The CEO can easily influence the Chancellor though.

Aha, but i'm not, what I'm planning as that for the war David owns the corporation and then never leaves, thus making the corporation semi privatised, and adding to a kikass story arc, and David has always been deeply jealous of the Toopoxican organisation.
Since I'm Toopoxia's neighbor and he already invade me once, I'm in.
Hydac still has scores to settle with Toopoxia and Griffencrest.
Also, it gives me the chance to try out my newly upgraded military. I'll post equipment and info later.

It's MT, me and LNI both use RPG-7's so I'm sure it's not PMT, that said I'm sure you could push Low PMT cos right now MT does seem to be bordering Low MT.

So, you've got 1200 fighters, 360 light bombers, and 360 torpedo bombers.
I'm thinking I should scale down my air force (8000 F-22s, a few thousand Tupolev Blackjacks and Backfires...)
Oh, if you need more bomber power, you could modify your torpedo bombers into light bombers, since I don't have a navy.

They're both interchangeable as they operate on the same bodyframe, it's just that 360 are primarilly naval bombers but basically classify it as 720 Land Bombers (PLB stands for Poxican Land Bombers) with an optional 360 as Naval Bombers.

A test was made at the US, Soviet Union and Israel, the only question was "What do you think about the lack of meat?". The test failed because the US'ers didnt know what "lack" meant, Russians didnt know what "Meat" meant, and Israelis didnt know what "of" meant.

I love this one story about Yakov:
He was in touring in Wisconsin, I think, and he turned on the radio. There is this station who reports as WKGB. Naturally, their tagline is "We're the KGB, and we're watching you."
Yakov heard that and crashed his car.

Good, I hate Naval battles, hopefully I'll be able to travel by air to LNI...
10 million people is a pretty large force to be sending at someone when you're not even directly involved with the conflict. Unless you're planning on counter-invading Toopoxia or something.
Anyways, I'll be helping Toopoxia out with... a lot of troops, the number of which to be declared later.... I may be fighting on LNI's side too.

It's mostly just the fact that when it comes to hardware I'm a n00b, I'll either Godmod unintentionally or Verminmod and creat a waaay too easily beaten army, hell just take a look at my Light Tank, it's based off the design of an American WWII Tank design...

Don't worry. I'll be using small groups of either black ops or elite special forces here.
Heh. I dislike naval combat simply because I know very little about the logistics and not many details on ships in general. Firing missiles at each other from miles away just isn't as cool as urban warfare, anyways.

Well, considering that this is on my home territory, there are going to be large forces involved.
By the way, don't worry about naval battles, my nation is nearly landlocked. I don't have a navy, so any ships should be used for coastal bombardment or as a base of operations for fighter wings.

Actually, it's "por que".
By the time I make a landing, everything close enough to attack... will probably be dead. Stationary batteries make such wonderful targets for the 480mm guns, not to mention the fighters.
Oh yeah, and while nothing I use comes from the real world, they mostly have equivalents. You can consider the fighters I use to be F-22s and the bombers to be more like F-35s.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I'd have to kill the whole town and all your troops to insure a safe landing, and I don't want to expend that much ammo. I'll just have to settle for taking out the coastal batteries.

No, think about the RPing, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives lost all of them dead or dying, think the London Blitz man, I'm trying to RP evil as possible and I thought, hey what's more evil than taking all the Irish people have worked so hard for away from them, it'd be heartbreaking to have suddenly lost all that and of course the Children whos parents won't be coming back anymore will be most affected, and oila, instant kikass RPing dude.

Yeah, great, except it's me doing all the RPing, all you have to do is say "I fire guns," then I have to do a post about the suffering and how they're still resisting, then you just say "I fire guns again". Etc, etc, ad infinitum.

I have no response to this, except tactics, true it is a game and the overall goal should not be to win, but consider this, A tactitian looks at a battlefield he has two choices, the first is to take a low casualty route leading to a quick decisive victory, the second is a long and ardeous road with great torment and difficulty, now consider that the tactitian has no concept of IC or RPing, which choice do you reckon an RL tactition would take?
Unfortunantly it is difficult for me to express suffering within my soldiers ATM being as they've not yet faced a real trial, nor are they the ones who are being invaded, right now I can do two things to remedie the situation, 1 is to Edit my post to attack Foynes, 2 is to continue my current line of posting and hope I can keep the peace between us cos OOCly we've not yet had a huge rifting argument and I don't fancy starting any time soon.
I say we bombard the city untill we can make a safe landing, then go in with a mass of troops and completely slaughter every living being in the city.

Could you define these things?
IWS is a system designed to enhance the ability of a soldier to fight. Basically, there is a helmet, which has a computer inside of it, and a small clear window placed over the right eye, which allows the soldier an indepth real time map of his area, real time waypoints designated by his officers, accesible briefings, and the ability to send exact coordinates for air and artillery support. In addition, it also includes a uniform made of spider silk. It is stronger the Titanium, yet lighter than a feather. It will stop a 7.62 mm round at close range. Also, the helmet has the ability to use IR to "see" though walls, and Identify the location of enemies through buildings, etc.
FFW is the same thing, except for special forces. It has one difference. It is a full body suit with a specialized uniform which changes itself to match the enviornment it is in. If I move from a desert into a jungle, it will automatically switch. Go to yahoo.com, and under images, type in FFW. And yes, they have this today.

That could be difficult as there's probably going to be at least one Shadowman there. Now, I realize that at least one man does sound all that intimidating, but he'll also be doing his best to rally the citizens.
In addition, things will probably get more exciting once Toopoxia gets further inland.
Since I still don't have a response, which Phase of Shadowmen should I be using? Please note, each Phase has everything that the phases above it have.
Phase one: No engineering, just very highly trained and equipped.
Phase two: Slightly accelerated healing, titanium laced bones, IR imaging implants, some degree of weaponry implanted.
Phase three: Further accelerated healing, further weaponry implanted, vital organ redunancy, decentralized nervous system.
I'd say Phase One, but you'd have to check with Toopoxia and LNI. What ARE Shadowmen exactly?

Shadowmen are my elite special forces. They're experts in everything from guerilla fighting to counter insurgency to assassinations to standard warfare to interrogation techniques. A lot of those specializing in interrogation hail from the south west. The pointed teeth seem to help for some reason.
No, they're not living shadows or anything Fantasy Tech like that.

All I can really say is:
This isn't RL, and this isn't going to lead to a quick decisive victory for you, since I'll be sinking your ships with Harpoons, and I could just pull my troops and fighters away from the coastline, out of the range of your guns.
If that's what I have to do to get you into a ground engagement, that's what I'll do.

uhh... I think I mentioned in my last post the destroyer screen. Sneaking under a massive fleet equipped with sub hunting technology is very difficult indeed..
And there's more than one dreadnought. 2 exactly. Notice that I typed "dreadnoughts' " instead of "dreadnought's "
When I say dreadnought, I mean it's just a little bigger than a normal battleship of mine, not one of them gigantic super dreadnoughts that some people use.
