He wants everyone to pay a 1% tariff to use the Canal... you'll find I'm much more conciliatory with the RL Panama Canal.

EDIT: On second thought, due to time constraints, I rescind this claim.

I would like to claim the RL nation of Cote d'Ivoire if possible. I have few posts but I am a well experienced RPer, this is a puppet nation.
Dude, i have no idea what that is...

Corte d'Ivorie, more commonly known as the Ivory Coast, is a small country in Africa.

This sounds awfully familiar. Didn't I take over Diego Garcia, Ascension, and St. Helena?

Never the less, I may take offense to the seizure of those islands.

Yeah you did; Well maybe we can buy you off with a Joint Ownership of the Islands like you did for Diego Garcia and us on ESS?

Pssh. the Red Sea is international Waters. he's actually making ships stop at Yeman or Somalia which is not the canal where he has no authority to do so as I think there is a narrow strech of International waters.

You'd be surprised how well that works and such as it will this time as well. Yes, joint-ownership sounds fine. Ascension has more strategic value then St. Helena, mostly because it has an Airfield unlike St. Helena.

I mean my trade with nations that I would normally use a ship to reach. Like all the European nations are land transport, same with the Middle East. But if I do ship to AB in Japan, its by plane. But most of my trade stays within Europe and the Middle East. Some to Asia, but thats land as well. And If I wish to trade with the Western Hemisphere, there are no canals neccessary.

Trade from you to AB would cost millions, it's alot cheaper shipping it. You can also carry more in a single Cargo Ship compared to a single Cargo Plane.

Kamp, I'm unsure where the Mongol military is stationed - would you object to some of it being in the border cities/towns and maybe an important airbase their too? (Your countries air defences are terrible, but I'd prefer to get rid of them)

Also, Droskianishk, even though the country you invaded is small, could you not at least RP the invasion and allow some resistance. You can't simply say "It's mine" surely.

I have 8 planes, and they are all grounded. Don't worry about airbases. But yes, you can attack border towns with my guys there.

Yes Drosk, you have to have someone RP the other nation.

Thats why I left it open ended. If you read the soldier RP its simply saying that the invasion has begun, I haven't thrown any victory parades or had them rolling through Djibouti or anything like that. If anyone wants to RP Djibouti resistance their more than welcome too.

Just because you claim Great Britain does not mean you get the Falkland Islands or St. Helena or any of Britains holdings around the world. The same with America and Guam or Guantanamo.

Honduras was being invaded by Caliz. Jamaica and Puerto Rico might be a problem for you, they aren't Greneda and actually have pretty good militaries. Jamaica's apart of the Commonwealth of Nations and so has acess to some pretty modern British Equipment, while Puerto Rico is an American Commonwealth so that means American Equipment will be used. They actually have a few F-16s in real life.

The big guns don't have the range to try and counterattack against SSM and ASM attacks-battleships are wasted propositions in the modern era.

Go for it :) my men are 8 Navy SEALS; I can't find any info on what they have there but...it can't be much; basically they're going to try to neutralise the run ways and take out the fuel tanks to stop any fighters taking off before the main force moves in. we want to try and preserve as much of the base as we can.

Lets see, now, how many of the holes did he use. Lets start by listing the holes, and if he took advantage.

1. Guard Asleep - Yes
2. Soldiers Asleep - No.
3. 1 alarm switch - Up for grabs
4. Exploding the fuel cans like he wanted to would also kill pilots - No

So far only 1 for 4. Shame, Shame.

Do you want me to edit my post to be more detailed? The cook is fat (all the best are) and woul;d have been holding some pots/pans when he was shot. When he fell, expect a large racket on the cement floors. My course of action would have been to go to the barracks, kill them, have sniper kill the cook when he runs for alarm, and have someone blow up the fuel tanks at the same time, and mop up any survivors.

Quick, have lightning hit the fuel tanks!

I was thinking more along the lines of Splinter Cell when you take out the cook in the chinese kitchen; back to the door walking over to the oven to check something but not carrying anything; burst in and bang; he drops but dosn't make too much noise.

Though we have AP Claymores on Laser trip wires set up near the doors for the pilots so if they come out of there barracks to get to the hangers there dead.

There is also now way 900 000 men could be attacking me. We use RL pop and GDP remember. Considering you could have a pop of about 125 million. That would give you 6.25 million MAX army size including airforce, navy and all your logistics.

Well, I have an active/reserve ratio of 1:9. Some people use a smaller ratio for more active soldiers and less logistics. This of course provides for an overall weaker army - but since there are more of them, it balances out.

It also provides the chance for several strategic maneuvers that could cripple Kamp. Since his logistics aren't all that good...

Not to mention they came right to YOU. You may not realise it, but that is very important. See if Waldenburg will help you too, Shakal.

Shakal: if he's using 900,000 men to attack you, his country's wide open and pretty much undefended to attack. You should strike his homeland instead.

Ah, great.

First off, those are fine by me, and Granate seems to agree as well.

But secondly, actually try to look more into what goes into military and these things next time-at first, when Granate pointed out about the flaws in your plan (ie, the battleships), you took his head off. Try to accept criticism when it's actually pointing out corrections that need to be made, si?

Because if one person can do it, suddenly everyone can, and this RP, which is trying to stress limitation and realism, will soon devolve into NS levels. I don't want either a Hataria or an Eralineta to show up in here to spiral things down and out of control.

Yea but your going to be trying to feed/arm/cloth/ supply oil to 50,000 some odd soldiers. The other port cities in Djibouti probably (Just probably I don't know for sure) probably don't have the facilities to move that much supplies into the country since 2/3rds of the nation live in Djibouti. Your also going to need to pay for these supplies and pay your soldiers this money coming mostly through exports or sales to that 2/3rds of the nation. And your ports are going to be strained as it is importing that much stuff. You start trying to export as well and those ports will be sitting ducks for ariel bombardment or naval attack.

Well, if you decide to attack me then you'll be blown back to the Stone Age. I'll launch cruise missles at your Oil Derricks, railway staions, and other important targets. I'll make sure that you will be too poor to pay your own soldiers.

Also, feeding won't be much of an issue, considering there is no embargo on the country and they could always forage for food from the farmland. Clothing also won't be much of an issue, since they can just wear T-shirts and Jeans. It's not like they need a uniform since the Geneva Convention never happened.

Payment might be a little tough, but they can always promise to pay the soldiers after the war is over. I'll probably be willing to pay it myself. 30,000 Dollars isn't that much, considering my soldiers are worth 200,000.

EDIT: And I'm in the process of going after Jamaica right now, I already have a thread up.

It's got plenty of civilians. A mass revolution across the country can make for some real nasty warfare. That's where the fun comes in-and then, when the message gets out, other nations join in, and EFJ gets its first World War :p
After all, that's the pinnacle of these things.

What AB said... the Federation won't take kindly to something like that happening only a few hundred miles from it's capital, as it considers all of the islands under their protection, unless there are open hostilities with them. Right now we wouldn't consider Jamaica under our protection, but we sure could should you decide to attack.

Sorry I mean the Bahamas. I fine then, I will invade them, but can someone rp the natives?

Sure, can do. Just make the thread.

I can just tell you right now... things are going to be extremely touch and go with my government about that... I expect with Caliz's as well... your only a hundred miles from either of us with that invasion... and where's your closest nation to the Bahamas?

Well, if you decide to attack me then you'll be blown back to the Stone Age. I'll launch cruise missles at your Oil Derricks, railway staions, and other important targets. I'll make sure that you will be too poor to pay your own soldiers.

Also, feeding won't be much of an issue, considering there is no embargo on the country and they could always forage for food from the farmland. Clothing also won't be much of an issue, since they can just wear T-shirts and Jeans. It's not like they need a uniform since the Geneva Convention never happened.

Payment might be a little tough, but they can always promise to pay the soldiers after the war is over. I'll probably be willing to pay it myself. 30,000 Dollars isn't that much, considering my soldiers are worth 200,000.

There won't be much to forage, and I won't have to attack you. blow up the port facilities. tshirts aren't notoriosly tear free. and there won't be a free nation. remember Wanderburg is in the region. South American nations don't tango with European nations.

Usually yes, but in this case AB is in the Region too so things could become a little difficult, that's quite a few cruise missiles pointed at you.

Here is my thread for the invasion of the Bahamas.

Can you put it on the front page?

Carloginias, if you want to start up those relations with my nation you can do so by posting in my factbook.

Asian nations tango with the Europeans, though...let's not forget the Russo-Japanese war. My nation's gearing up for a major operation, so if anything we're at our pinnacle of military effectiveness.

Thats very true. Would your government be willing to let itself be bought off with promises of a base? :)

Seeing how I just fired twenty cruise missiles at one of your cities, would your government even be willing to give me that?


And Canadstein: I'm afraid the communications department of the Bahamas is still quite operational [/end corny Star Wars rip-off]

If you would cease hostilitties and allow us to annex Djibouti then maybe.

Hmm...what else does your nation have to offer? Bases are cool, but soon enough they won't even be needed overseas. My nation always looks for deals that will make it improved (ie, resources, exclusive-rights bargains, the like). Military equipment isn't really needed-the Dominion's loaded-but the islands lack somewhat in natural resources, particularly in agriculture.

I thought you were planning a power struggle in your country, how would this effect overseas Empires AB? Will it spill over and see you waging war on masses of people... ;)

Agriculture? Droskianishk has agriculture as well as oil, construction materials, gold. etc.

Hon, posting in your factbook was the second thing I did when I got on the computer lol.

Most of your area is.. desert. Syrian Desert, Somalia is essentially desert, I believe Oman is as well. (But not certain) Lebanon if you have it does.

EDIT: I am referring to your agricultural sector.

Yemen has quite a bit of agriculture in the west, Somalia some, and Djibouti does as well.But we also have coal, uranium.

Somalia has little. I didn't know you had Yemen, and you don't have Djibouti.. yet.

Oh, and AB can you change the Tyr thing up front to "Armed Republic of Carloginias" ?

Could of sworn I did. I'll go do it now.

Mongol thread posted in Kamp and AB - HERE (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=529532)

Also, Carloginias, not sure I get you - you haven't posted in my factbook to my knowledge... :confused: Sorry if you meant something else.

Yeah.

Drosk: Lemme see what Waldenburg does in the area first. I'm not committing to anything yet.

Honako: That can quite easily spill overseas, depending on what happens. Those 150,000 soldiers I requested from Candistan aren't for nothin'.

AB, I'm sure the Djiboutan people would be open to negotiations to become a protectorate to the nations actually coming to protect them... whether it be yourself, Granate, or Waldenburg... just contact the General and we'll see what we can work out.

I like this idea somewhat. I left the door open to Drosk in my last post, but of course I'm after all I can get...next post, I'll hit off to the Djibouti gov't.

Well, I'm officially a lifeguard now, so I'm free once again to do things on NS. What have I missed?

Buncha minor wars. I'm at your factbook, asking for a price :P

I've already sent an APB to the forces in the gulf, including yours.

Hi there folks!

Are there any countries left for me to claim?

If the map/first post is up to date I would like to ask if I can have Burma (Myanmar), Bhutan and Bangladesh?

Kopp, theres still a bunch of stuff to claim go global lol. Also, today is the 15th so Indonesia, Nigeria, and someone else is gone if you want to claim those.

Hon- Posted.

Map's up to date, but would you like something more lucrative?

Today's the activity-purging day, so would you like, if you want to do over that,

Argentina/Falklands/Uruguay,

or

the Indonesia claim,

or,

either the Egyptian or the Nigeria claim?

Those are all open, being voided due to inactivity on the owners's behalf. They've never been around. Russia was nixed and replaced earlier today by Carlo.

To everyone that posted a mercenary request in my factbook, I responded, so reply back with info on deployments and all that jazz. I need two questions answered: what is up in Djibouti and AB, what war are the 150,000 needed for? I missed it at lifeguarding class so I need an update.

Djibouti is being blasted up between Granatian/Amazonian forces on one side and Drosk/Waldenburg forces on the other side.

150,000 is about what I'll need on the Imperial sides for my Civil War (I'm gonna wait 'till I get back from summer training camp-July 3rd-to actually start that, since I'm leaving for it on the 20th, in five days-vice mod (I think Futuris won that, I'll have to go see) will take over for me during that period). It'll be the Federals vs. the Imperials, and that many will probaly be required to go up against what's one of the toughest forces (tech, not numbers) in EFJ. Plus, that way I can get more nations in on it. Maybe even spark a global war if an "incident" happens. It'll be big-maybe even a few tactical nukes thrown about for some devestation (don't worry, I'll control those-I don't want that getting out of hand, just for a plot device).

OOC: Can I grab Egypt OHHH PLEASE OHHHH PLEASE!!??

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately, my family and I went up to Chicago for my Nephew's first birthday so I was on the road most of yesterday.

Granate: no prob, we're still shooting at each other in Djibouti.

Drosk: You already made a factbook, so like Canadstein, that's set. You can fight for it, though. Of course, if Kopp wants to claim it here, he can. I'm leaving those open for the moment.

yea if Kopp wants it I won't say a thing about it no prob


And I was going to ask the Egyptian leaders if they desired an annexation in order to build a larger Muslim state etc etc.... how would I go about doing that, should Kopp not want it?

Someone else RPs the Egyptians, and replies (trust me, Egypt's got a nice military...might want to go about doing that in a "nice" manner).

Droskianishk is currently in no position to do it the mean way haha.


Anybody willing to RP the Egyptians or should we wait for Kopp to make a claim?

Let's wait for Kopp to decide on what he wants (I TG'ed him too)-I'll give him a day. I'll be voiding them all today, but I'm gonna leave them open for a day before giving them up for winner-take-all. I mean, I really like the idea of incorporating Indoensia...

Haha alright, well I have to work tommorrow from 3-11 so if he doesn't claim Egypt.... save it for me. or something... I shotgun it...

Thanks for the heads up A-B!

The Egyptian claim sounds very nice! I think I'll go for it! (Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.) I'll come up with a name for my nation, and start the work on the factbook.

No problem, you're in, welcome to EFJ!

I'll update the map here (got it covered, Granate) and add you to the list.

FYI everyone, I just axed the inactive nations from the list and the map.
