OOC: An end of the world roleplay.
This is not a 'world war'. This is not the end of Jenrak. This is a 'what-if' roleplay about the end of the NS World. Not everybody has to join, but I thought it would be an interesting war - this will let players fight others they're too afraid or don't want to fight. This will let older players unleash their full power, and newer players test their skill against others.
The story - a perfectly neutral country is ganged upon, but other nations come to its aid. It's a simple scenario - the theme will be very apocalyptic. This is a world that's going to end, not a world that will be rebuilt. It's the Last Great War, a war that never happened.
Nothing will change, this is simply for pure amusement. Anybody interested?
This will be MT/PMT, of course. Also, I would advise you use nukes as last resort.

I'd like to join, but not as a straight out factor in the war. Rather, playing as a number of the type of people whom can be found by following the link in my signature. Spies, assassins, double, triple, and quadruple agents, hackers, sabotuers, etc.
Come to think of it, if the above is okay, I could conceivably be vital in setting off the spark that sends the world up in flames.

The sound of millions of iron-shod jackboots, crushing the chemical-scarred bones of the conquered, the deafening roar of massive shells tearing voids through the air as they come closer and closer, jet trails and flaming wreckage, the distant explosion of another rocket strike as the armored personnel carriers crunch over the failing pavement of the cities streets...

Well, I suppose that I could play that part as well. Give some of the more directly combat oriented of my assassins and such less distance to go, although it would make it harder for the others to get out...
So, as long as there's a relatively nutreal country bordering me, for my spies to cross over to and take a flight, I'll volunteer.
I could begin a 'holy' crusade.

This is a map of my nation, the black dots are the one-hundred and fifteen Port Compounds, and the five red ones are the Administation Compounds.
There are a total of three-thousand compounds, each one-hundred and fifty kilometers square, and delving three-kilometers into the earth. Within each compound there are one-million five hundred thousand loyal citizens, each filling their own role in the caste system, working their two-six hour shifts and spending the rest of their time beneath the heavy glass lids of their capsules.
There are a couple other "breeds" of people, who don't nessecarily follow this layout, and I'll explain them as time goes by...
I might be interested in joining in in this, I'm assuming this would end up being an alternative history thing?

Seriously though, invincible demons? Not cool, even from a fantasy tech standpoint. Nothing should get to be invincible.
Now, you might say, you can't fight a nuke! Wrong! You can shoot it down. Now, I say, that unless other nations can have nuclear weapons which can avoid being hit by any ABM systems, remain at full intensity for a couple of days, and then return home, he should make those more reasonable.
But that's me, and, ultimately, it's Jenrak's call.

Because I know there is a concern of over use of nukes I think Koramerica could be of help in controlling any nuclear exchanges because of our ability to shoot them down. We could be a country that helps others in need and protect those who can't protect themselves from higher tech attacks. What do you think?

Well, Leafanistan's traditional leader died and promised to return and gave directions to a star light years from here.
And Leafanistan has been losing the ability to control itself and religious fervor is rising. They'll likely go on a 'crusade' to convice everyone that High Father is the true lord and demand they all go to that star.
Of course as the world falls apart, nukes fly, and disease spreads, a few ships will make it to the stars and this will effectively create our FT intro.
I'm thinking of Having my Rebel Admiral Kukonois launching a crusade against a nation and a prophecy about the end of the world being made by my legendary prophetess Viginias unless x y z happens, and base it off what someone is doing so I can really throw Novacom in to fight like I've never fought before.

As it stands it looks like you are tryingto get a looney tunes cat fight going where suddenly a dozen nations just jump on the back of a dozen nations...
I will join after the war starts...but my nation would never jump in a fight that hadnt started yet, never.

I second Skibereen's motion, and also suggest that we try to keep a "Death Count" type thing going, where any time that a city gets nuked or a military unit gets wiped out or nerve gas kills a few thousand people, or a bio-engineered plague is released, we all post about those deaths on that thread. Then, when the war is over, we can see how many people have died... does that sound like a good idea?
I'll join. My Defenses need to be tested. I'm a island nation with 4000 miles of coastline.

Maybe while we are busy a series of solar flares knocks out our satellites and we have to fight war the dirty old fashioned way.
I think we should allow chemical weapons but not biological and nuclear ones until the 'endgame'.

As opposed to arbitrary rules on whne and what is appropriate.

Since this is supposed to be a doomsday apocalyptic war, and I'm such a tiny nation, and consequently lack any WMDs, would anyone be willing to sell (in the RP of course) a handful of small scale tactical nuclear, or chemical or biological weapons (something like a couple of 5kt bombs, or a handful of nuclear capable artillery shells , or something along those lines). Use of these weapons would obviously be restricted to the endgame.
As for when nukes should be used, I think it should be up to the individuals' discretion, so long as everyone acts reasonable and doesn't unleash a nuke storm. At least not until the end.

I would suggest laying off WMDs for the most part-- they don't make things very interesting. Perhaps there are a lot of storm systems or clouds of volcanic ash or something that make it too hard to attack with most types of orbital weapons systems or ICBMs?

I think the best way to do it is to have the Sun act up. There is a huge solar storm, every single last satellite is knocked out, no exception, and for the duration of the war, the solar storm lasts, ensuring no Ballistic Missiles. Also without satellite guidance, many cruise missiles are doomed too.
It should cloud electronic systems and provide some interference and prevent cruise missiles from being used.
This makes for a much more brutal war, with close in actions with big guns, short range missiles, and land warfare without the accurate air and naval assistance.

The Earth's magnetic field would ensure that things inside the atmosphere would still be working properly. A disruption of sufficient magnitude to wipe out radar and most advanced electronics entirely would a) turn this RP into The SD Show (tm) and b) drastically slant things in the favor of numbers, and c) be sufficient to seriously harm the Earth's biosphere in any case, thus making the RP itself pointless. So, no solar storm.
Also, a solar storm wouldn't affect ICBM or cruise missiles if they used inertial guidance.
I suggest this just be resolved in whichever way the nation being affected finds most convenient-- cloud cover/whatever for Axis Nova, solar storm effects for Leafistan, maintenance issues for other people, et cetera, et cetera.

The larger nation sends in a diplomat/member of royal family to negotiate a peaceful surrender on the part of the smaller nation, but then some anti-large nation terrorists assassinate the diplomat/member of royal family from large nation.
So, Large Nation invades, but other nations come in on the side of Small Nation, leading to a World War One-like scenario where all the alliances drag people in. Well? Do you like that idea?

Why would everyone be in an alliance together anyway?
A good seventy percent of the people I've seen here are newbs of some sort, and the others are giants, neither of which are involved in too many alliances with eachother. The only way to do a major war like this, outside of alliance systems, is something universal.
1) Resources, someone discovers some new resource or creates some energy device or somesuch, and everyone wants it.
2) Some religion declares a crusade against another religion, dragging the 'godless' heathen in as well, showing them the way or just torching their hovels.
3) Encroaching ice-age creates massive fuel and food shortages, and smaller nations pile onto larger, resource-rich nations.
and so on...

Yes I like that idea, but I would like to point this out before we start. Koramerica is not a large country in and of itself, however Kormanthor is a very large country and birthed Koramerica to be it's PMT / MT equivalent. In other words Kormanthor backs Koramerica because the person behind both is one and the same. I as Koramerica will come to the aid of the small nation against the big country if they are doing any of the things mentioned above with the full power of Kormanthor, this I vow.
How about I just declare a Holy War against everything and you guys work from there?
Alright, I'm trying to deviate from the plot line so far, so here's what I believed would be fairly interesting to role play.
The role play will have to be split into 3 main plot lines. The beginning concerns the boiling uneasiness and the frequent land skirmishes that the larger nations will be doing. The smaller nations I suggest could form alliances in an attempt to become a coalition and wipe out the larger enemies they could.
-Larger nations bicker and fight
-Smaller nations plot to destroy them
The second one will slowly degenerate as the larger nations begin to be worn down, which is when the coalition of smaller nations begin to fight the larger nations.
The third and last one is where everything goes nuclear. The NS world is much larger than RL, so we can't let any nukes go amiss.
Emporer Pudu
05-12-2006, 00:29
Alright, so these 'land skirmishes', would we be fighting over each other's territory, invasions of mainlands and such?
Would the first step be your Holy War, directed against the larger, more obvious enemies, allowing the smaller nations to slip under the radar, and begin their scheming as your suggested?
All in all, sounds very good.

it sounds like a good idea, especially for some smaller, more ambitious nations. This could work.

Yeah, my Holy War is the first step. I will declare the larger nations involved as 'disbelievers', then begin a Holy War one-by-one. The large nations could fight against me (for intrusion of another nation's sovereignty) or with me (a chance to get some more land and resources from a 'hapless victim'). This of course is simply just consisting of land skirmishes and medium sized campaigns (some strikes and a front or two, but nothing massive until later on).
So in the first thread while the larger nations are fighting amongst each other, the smaller nations could hold secret conferences and build up their forces as well as see how the larger nations fight to exploit the weaknesses and such.

My military, as it stands now, has about 9,000,000 dedicated combat personale (with other soldiers not dedicated to combat but certaintly capable of fighting), including a 2,000,000 man strong city garrison. The rest of the population, in a sinch, can act as an irregular combat force, and are equipped with either Steyr Aug A3's or government-issued M-16 a4's chambered in 7.62 NATO or 6.8 SPC (regular military uses a doomingsland blended metal round, which is infinently more effective). Any invasion force that penetrated the regular forces would have to deal with the inevitable, large, insurgency. That and 200,000 Nakil IVs (soon to be nakil 2s!).

After looking through your wiki, i have a few questions:
Are all your cities subterranian? And what security systems do you have in place for this subway? Seems like it would be highly open to attack via biological weapon.
I have a standing combat force, of infantry, of about eighteen million Strelkovy basic-type infantry, as well as four million of my Grazskar Legionarries. I'd probably send one or two Army Groups, about four-million men, with the landing force, and then reinforce as needed.
Insurgencies don't bother me, I don't leave anyone behind me. Genocide is the answer to so many problems. It'll slow me down, defenitly, but I'm not stingey with chemical weapons, soooo...
Another note, I don't leap right to nuclear weapons, although it seems like that's what this thread is designed to culminate in, so I'm cool with that. I don't consider Biological and Chemical stuff as the whole "WMD" thing, as neither has too large an impact on me, unless something can be fed into the compounds (all of which have the massive subterranian layer), or is capable of eating through the armor that my combat forces always display.
Also, I too have a large civilian force, as the whole of my Farmer caste is somewhat trained, and armed with older AK models, the 107, I think...
The rest of my military uses normal tungsten rounds in 8.12x39mm format, chambered as a less 'long-range' round, as it destabalises, but is gruesome in close, where the military is designed to operate. Snipers and squad marksmen use different calibers.
Finally, the subway's only real defense is it's submerged position. If anyone wants to dig down, punch through a relativly wimpy steel/concrete shell, and pump it with nerve gas... Well, you'd need alot of gas, and a big digger-thing, my nation is big, and the subway is about a half-mile below the surface. It was made through use of a few dozen giant tunnel-digger things, which bore a hole through bedrock, line the walls with concrete plates, reinforce them, and lay a roadway/railway behind them. Those things are amazing, real-life stuff, I've seen them work.
Anyway, any particular reason I should choose you to invade (IC'ly), other than the fact that I've declared war on just about everything. Not openly, but that's our decision... What would you be known for, should I have a reason to initiate pre-emptive strike before the war goes "global"?

I'm resource rich, but, with threats of kravenite invasions, you'd have to punch through a hostile populance which has faced genocide before, a fully modernized AI-controlled airforce, and a rather powerful navy for the size of my nation (3,500 ish combat surface ships), and a 12-army group strong land force (reinforced by 200+ divisions of city garrisons). I wouldn't want to, or, for that matter, need to, punch through the subway to dump chemicals; the US Army found that the NYC subway system provides a "plunger effect," dispersing quite potently a bio or chemical weapon throughout the entire city. Basically, I'd clandestinly meet with your indigenous rebel force, have some of their elites set it off in your subway (no explosion required), causing the virus to spread over much of the country. It is both blood-borne and airborne, depending on the phase, causes auto-cannibalism, and leaves the body smelling minty fresh. I'll, of course, leave that until after you attempt an invasion.

I'll post stats for the actual airforce/navy/army later tonight.
I have twelve army groups of 2,000,000 soldiers;
-One army group is divided between my navy and airforce to serve as para-troops and marines.
-Two army groups are devoted to the Grazskar Legions, whose ranks also include twelve divisions of independant marine and airborne forces.
-The final nine army groups are Strelkovy infantry formations.
Each army group is made up of four legions;
-The first three legions are infantry formations, each with five divisions of artillery and five divisions of armor, supplemented by fifteen divisions of mechanized infantry.
-The fourth legion is an armored legion, and includes five divisions of mobile artillery, five divisions of mechanized infantry, and fifteen divisions of Mekhev II main battle tanks
The basic contents of a division;
-An artillery division contains six-thousand guns or self-propelled peices, including anti-aircraft weapons. Generally there are about one-thousand tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft gun/missile systems in each division, with the remaining spots filled with either 155mm-280mm towed gun/howitzers or 155mm or 240mm self-propelled howitzers, both supplemented by 128mm self-propelled anti-tank guns. SIV-25 MGMS variant missile units are common in self-propelled and towed divisions as well.
-Infantry divisions contain 20,000 infantrymen, as well as 2,000 SIV-25 armored personnel carriers to transport them, as well as around eight-hundred LV-08 light wheeled multi-purpose vehicles and a few hundred Ural logistics trucks serving directly on the front. Also included in these formations are smaller towed guns such as the 90mm and 105mm gun/howitzers and 88mm and 125mm towed anti-aircraft guns.
-Armored divisions contain 6,000 tanks, usually the most recent generation MBT, the ST-39K1 Mekhev II, although older Mekhev Is and domestic GT-6B tanks are present as well. There are also two-thousand SIV-25 IFV and MGMS variants in these formations.
Each division is four 5,000 man or 2,000 vehicle/gun strong brigades, which are divided into five battalions, into five companies, into four platoons, into five squads. Infantry platoons are four infantry squads and a weapons/command squad. Armored and gun platoons just have five squads.

I origionally had artillery divisions/transport divisions/etc., but I found that it was too unrealistic (especially after reading a few Army Staff College text books). Since I don't have more than 10 minutes, I'll detail my armored divisions here.
Armored Division:
Divisional Assets
1 Company Headquarters
1 Batallion signals
1 Batallion air defence
1 Batallion military intelligence
1 Company NBC
1 Company Military Police
combat units
3 Batallion Combat engineer
6 Batallion Armor
4 Batallion Mechanized
3 Platoon Radar DS
divisional artillery
1 company Headquarters + HQ battery
5 batallion Artillery
1 platoon radar
Aviation Assets
1 company HQ and command
3 batallion Attack Helicopter
1 batallion forward support
divisional support
1 company HQ/MM
2 batallion fwd spt
I won't go into details over lower echelons (like the mechanized and armored battalions), but each has organic communications, mortar (including nice anti-tank rounds), dedicated scouts, medics, support, etc. My armored divisions and my mechanized divisions are the same, save for a 1 battalion ratio difference between mechanized and armored (Mechanized is 5/5, armored division is 6/4). Combined, these two divisional types make up 60% of my general combat army. My light divisions have a high ratio of combatants to non-combattants (not requiring some of the man-power intensive support operations. Air assault is a light division with 3 additional "lift" battalions and 10 additional assault helicopter battalions.
Here is the sum total of my naval forces and air forces (Note: My airforce is made entirely of conventional planes converted into semi-autonomous drones (basic mission profiles are fed into a decentralized mainframe, which, in turn, has terminals in each plane. The planes crunch specifics and update date the generic mission requirements as they learn more. This has been debated on the NS Draftroom with little criticism.) I'll do armored/mechanized/air assualt/light specifics later, as well as sum totals. All naval aviation falls under the airforce.

I too have tried to take a more realistic approach to designing my military, working it up from platoon and company level along US and British army lines, but I found that to fluid and to small-unit dependant. I have reverted to simple organizations, using large numbers and massed formations of whatever I need.
Secondly, I have integrated each formation with elements of another, for example, the Navy maintains a many more armored personnel carriers than the standard army, because the army only uses them in a one-to-ten man or three tank squads, while the naval marines use them in a far more supportive role with larger proportions.

2,000 GA-9 Ocelot 240mm towed medium howitzers (20,000)
These are examples of some specific formations in my navy, as well as the entire capacity of my airforce. In addition, my navy has Light Battle Groups, Carrier Strike Groups, as well as smaller coastal groups and convoy escort formations, as well as submarine fleets and a single Covert Grazskar Battle Group.
My navy also maintains a massive Home Fleet, commanded by Grand Admiral Kadova, whose flagship is the largest ship in the Imperial Navy, the Emperor Pudu XLII, a Hood-class Heavy Battleship.
In any case, do you have a map of your nation I could check out before I throw up my first post of this little war? After I get that, it'll probably only take me a day or so to formulate a beginning to the RP. Thanks.

Certaintly do, but it isn't topographical.
http://web.bentley.edu/students/k/krug_jona/map%20of%20mer%20des%20ennuis.gif
Mer de Noms is the capital, and the surrounding settlements act as a shield.
Most of the western coast is pretty rocky, making amphibious assaults hard, especially with landing craft. Many of the islands south and west of Ville de Dieu are extremely rocky, and there are other rocky islands and shifting sandbars requring monthly charting updates. Helicopter and air assaults would be a much more viable option, though not easy; the central cities and countryside is fortified to defend the capital, and the restricted islands are extremely inhospitable and fortified for use as training regions. The eastern regions qualify as forested low and farmlands. Kraven Whyatica lead an invasion through Ville de la Morte, penetrating to the feet of the capital past Ville des Ames. Consequently, the area is much more heavily fortified with camoflodged static guns, towed howitzers, Khan Class Missile batteries, and the (greatly improved) mobile air defense missile the SA-400 Mk. 2 (made to be much more manuverable). There are several large dopplar radar arrays scattered around the country in a decentralized format (i.e. it is a number of smaller networked together across a kilometer-square area). The central airforce mainframe is in a concrete reinforced bunker south of La Lame De l'Epee, Naval Command is in Port d'Honneur, and the army command is in Mer de Noms. The homeguard HQ is a massive underground bunker in Les Trois Villes, northern command is located in La Lame De L'Epee, southern command is in Ville de la Vie, and central command is La Ville D'or.
Hope that is enough useful information. Naval bases, air fields, and army bases are scattered around the country, cept for the central region which is rather well fortified. We also try to keep up a nice EW shield over most of the nation. Looking forward to having an actual RP for a change.

Excellent map, very helpful. If it should ever be needed I have a paint-crafted map laying around somewhere...
Anyway, Either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon I can start the attack. I've already written well beyond my quota today, and doubt my ability to continue in the very near future, but I'll try. If not, then definitely tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm sending a few General Purpose fleets and Naval Invasion Groups with the 7th Grazskar Army Group and 4th Strelkovy Army Group to attack the southern coast. See you soon...

I'm going to role play it out that when you are 5 days out, my forces will contact your forces from our missile defense regions (this is presuming you do 30 knots straight ahead 24 hours a day, in which case you'd be well under my missile reach.) This is also the distance where stealth planes would deploy for surveliance. Since I don't want to half ass it, i'll do it either much later tonight or sometime tomorrow evening.

Allright, hitting the eastern shield cities then; its all good. Sonobouy line is between 3 and 4 days steam at 30 knots out; again meant to counteract Kraven invasions (he hit when it was under construction but before the main national mainframe was up... consequently it appeared as one gigantic blob...).

The Dominion does not use any Super Heavy Battle Tanks.
All we have are the Mekhev main battle tanks, Mekhev I and II, both quite advanced but neither any larger in chassis or cannon than an average tank.

I've never considered a tank that large to be economical. He must have some rather large tanks...
Only once before have I fought SHBTs, and in that instance I called in an expeditionary force from an ally of mine who does use the bigger stuff to counter them. They never actually came to blows, maybe the deterrent worked...

Have fun with an intresting RP:D. On the real though, I think that the only thing my people are suited to is providing tactical support and other stuff like that... If anyone can think of what a hippy-loving place named "The Nation of Purple Cows" could do in a situation like this one, which obviously requires their attention, I'd love to hear it.
...Eh?

Sorry if I've slowed anything down, I took a holiday break.
Alright, I'll have a post up regarding my OPARR fleet and Pudite Naval High Command reactions tomorrow...

Nope, its cool. I've taken the downtime to play flight simulator 2004; with any luck, i'll make instrument rated pilot and commercial rated pilot tonight! woo!

Efficient use of time, lol.
Anyway, I'll either go off and post right now, or do it later tonight. Either way, it happens before twelve hours goes by...

Sorry Jenrak, I need something to do, and since no one has answered me I decided to go after you.
I feel as though I owe Undershi, but I can't recall why.

Another good post pudu; my girlfriend is coming down to visit me so i'll have sporradic access to NS for the next 10-12 days or so. I should have time for a post either later tonight or over the next few days. Most likely you'll get a nice missile strike from the Khan class missiles at the larger ships, the fighters will be recalled (they ARE almost at the point of no return, and the AI isn't stupid enough to ditch some planes into the sea for no reason).

I think I should warn you. In case you haven't noticed (unlikely...) I haven't been around much. That's because I've got family visiting for the holidays, and they're staying in the computer room, so I can't log on as easily. They leave New Years, so I'll be back after that.

No problem. I recently had to do some funeral-related activities as well, since my grandfather died on Christmas Eve.

My condolences.
Should we begin large fleet actions against each other? If I need another reason, your religion stands in the way of our religious beliefs and we need more resources and people to build 'sleeper' ships to go to another world.
Anyone else who accepts the prophesy of High Father can join us. We must stop those who can't from squandering valuable resources.

Ah, well, they do say that waiting is the hardest part. I wonder how it'll get when you get involved. Things look ready to get really ugly. I mean, the Jenak army is pushing into Undershi, heading towards the Martyr's Gate rail head, then the Leafanistanis came in on my side... this could be fun... :D

Pudu: Short post up; not much I could really say at this point in time. Maybe some elegant prose (or what passes for it) will rear its ugly head in the near future. You might want to read up on the khan class. Its quite good.

Sorry about my absence. There was an ice/snow storm, and I lost phone and internet service. I know, it sucks. But it's back now, so expect me to be once more involved at my prior level. Yay.
The newly created Republic of Itius is joing, I am looking for allies.
Old Jenrak left. I'm not familiar with this thread well enough, so sorry.

Alright, what's happened so far:
- Jenak invaded my nation, pushing in through the north. My forces aren't doing so well, all things considered, but they fight on heroically, even though they're heavily outnumbered. Still, they're losing.
- Leafanistan has come in on my side
- Some other nations are having their own little wars - the idea is to have a bunch of small-scale wars get bigger, and wind up with some other nations getting dragged in. Then, then we break out the nukes/nerve gas/genetically engineered plagues... you get the idea.
I want to deploy my terror troopers. My military is becoming more and more automated but this all depends on how well Jenrak's military gets freaked out.
You are underestimating the power of religion, hon.

If you let me deploy, I can do what me and Automagfreek discussed, get Silent Hill on people.

Alright - give it a go. Anyways, those guys are only going to set off the atomic mine when the fort is almost overrun. So, you've got time.
Sorry about the wait, I will post when I understand it all, because I'm still reading through some things.
