I'm interested in starting a Land grab on Iceland. The technology level will be MT. Due to the small size of the island none will be allowed to have more then 250 000 soldiers (including logistics crew). The start (in NS time) will be November 1st and its cold and raining. All the cities on marked on the map is only small villages with a population on around 100 citizens each. The People living on this island have no weapons or technology. They live from fishing and farming.
If you have questions please ask.

ill give it a go if iam not good ill go

cool how many people do you think we need? I don't want to many players but its up to you to decide. :D

I'm intersted. A few Pudite OPARR fleets, which would only come out to ten or eleven thousand soldiers could be deployed to steal some naval bases and oil...

or something.

Then let's keep it as four or five people.

I'll be gone for a few hours, but if you put up an IC thread while I'm gone, expect me to join it at soon as I can.

Also, we should use this as an OOC thread later.

OK then

you are all accepted. Ill make the thread tomorrow or later today (I'm to tired now). Please post your number of soldiers, boats, airplanes tanks etc etc by tomorrow.

I guess I might be up for it.

Iceland?

lol yea Iceland

I'll probably post second or third, as my reason for taking it is as much to deny it to other people than to take it for myself, thus, I need other people.

I'll have a single OPARR fleet detect the interest in the place, and then have him call for backup later.

Just for reference, each OPARR (Ocean Patrol and Rapid Response) fleet contains a sizable fleet portion, but relativly few real troops, so... yeah.

If this is still open, I'd like to claim a section, preferably the village of Vik, in the south. Does the 250K include navy and airforce?

I assume you have to detect and land on the island youself, and then start to claim stuff. Also, I don't think the 250k should count your ships crew and stuff, but you should not bring too many ships either, however.

I don't think that you can claim land OOCly. (Though let it be known that I plan on landing in the northwest)

I think it should include your ships. How many f'ing ships are you thinking of bringing? 250,000 soldiers is a shit load if they aren't going to war (yet).

I am landing on the island to kick other people off, not to stare at them and not make war, although I guess I could deal with including the ships crews in the 250,000.

Also, plenty. Plenty of ships, but not an OMfG fle3t kind of thing, just plenty.

The guy that made this thread should show up and tell people how many ships we should be allowed to bring (If he decides crews shouldn't count), and give us a defenite list of who is accepted and who is not, becuase I do not want this to turn into a seventeen nations on the tiny island RP...

Well, I wasn't planning on it, but I guess I will have to bring 250,000 soldiers. (Does that number include logistics?)

250K IS a shitload of soldiers. Maybe an initial expeditionary force of 2,000-3,000 coming off a troop carrier escorted by a battleship and a carrier. Then a slow build-up after a Fire Base is constructed. Gradually building up to a maximun of 250K including navy, airforce, and some armor. Probably no more than a CBG (20-25 ships) total.

Well, I wasn't planning on it, but I guess I will have to bring 250,000 soldiers. (Does that number include logistics?)

Yes, that it most definitely does include, so the actual combat force will not really be that large.

And yeah, 250,000 is a lot of men. My OPARR fleets carry four thousand Orthae, an organization you could compare to the SS (without the National Socialist thing...), and a few hundred vehicles. One will initially detect the island, and then, if resistance appears to be heavy, more will be called in.

120 tanks
1 infanty regiment
1 artillery regiment
2 battleships
1 aircraft carrier
10 destroyers
10 frigates
40 support ships
20 troop transport ships
100 planes on carrier
100 pelican dropships
10 warhogs
10 gunships
20 tank dropship each carry 6 tanks

I've worked out that my OPARR fleet contains on it exactly twenty-one thousand, one hundred and thirty soldiers, crew, and pilots.

This is divided between twenty four ships, including a light carrier and battleship, twenty five aircraft, over eighty helicopters, and roughly three hundred vehicles.

Total troop strength is about four thousand men per fleet. Don't worry, I have the specifics here, I'm just lazy...

A single one of my fleets has 155,000 soldiers (er... sailors. All of them are the ship's compliment)... me thinks I will need to create a new force just for this so that it can be smaller.

Yeah, maybe...

OOC what no kitchen sink

What?

What?

I think he was inferring that my fleet is quite large...

OK I'm gonna make the IC thread now.

Xeraph
you are both accepted.
250 000 men (women) are the absolutely maximum number of soldiers you may have. If you want to bring 250 000 ships with one man each I don't care ;) but It wouldn't be weary smart thou. My reason for claiming the island will be to create a new prison so that I can ship the criminals out of Kamasha.

my ships will be
3 Ticonderoga class cruisers with a Crew of 387 each
3 Arleigh Burke class large multirole destroyers with a crew of 337 each
8 Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates with a crew of 214 each
1 Coronado (Flag ship) with a crew of 457.
1 Mars store ship with a crew of 173

total 4300 men (this includes all logistics)
also I bring with me 2000 solders for inland fighting
and 200 civilians (doctors, engeneers, boulders etc)
I may also need to bring more solders later.

any objections?
questions?

2 Mando'a Class Crusiers with 400 crew each
3 Jango Class Submarines with 50 crew each
5 Fett Class Frigates with 220 crew each
1 Concord Flag Ship with 500 crew
1 Repair Ship with 350


2000 soldiers
300 medics, enginners,

Is the IC thread made?

Also, an OPARR fleet consists of;

1 Roydia class Battleship

1 Athios class Light Carrier

1 Shrike class Helicopter Carrier

3 Helina class Battlecruisers

4 Triara class Light Cruisers

6 Adari class Destroyers

5 Lionfish class Frigates

1 Port class Cruise Missile Submarine

2 Excecutor class Combat Logistics Ships

This all makes out to just over fifteen hundred soldiers, counting air compliments and such, plus a few hundred men to drive the vehicles and LCACs and such, and then the four-thousand men that will do the fighting.

ok her the thread. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=495035

remember that the first person to post gets the best landing spot and the last one to post have to land at the place none of the other RP's want :D so you better hurry :) and one more thing. Its no port on the island so you have to bring in supplies by small ferries or something :)

because it happened just minutes before the IC thread was created. don't worry, there'll be no dogpiling. I'm not even all that interested in fighting anyone right now. I'm just looking at it as him watching my back and vice-versa.
