All of our equipment has been carefully designed or approved for use by RL military personnel, screened by the NS Draftroom, and competitively priced, to ensure optimum NS combat-effectiveness.

Not just a storefront for equipment, trained Lyran personnel are on hand to answer any questions you may have concerning any element of your unique military situation. Whether you want to know how best to spend your defence budget, or which assault rifle suits your needs, qualified personnel are on hand to support you, and your military.

- All sales are open to view by all, for RP-purposes, but are considered Secret-In-Character.
- Do your own math. There will be random checks, however, to ensure we are not being shortchanged.
- Lyran Arms is subordinate to the Executive Command Staff of the Lyran Protectorate. Thus, in accordance with their directions, Lyran Arms reserves the right to refuse sales.

Lieutenant-General Aleksandr forwarded your communication to me, and it has caused quite a stir.

Your "Ironheart Divisions" are surprisingly nasty, and well balanced, and I've commissioned a team to examine viability of adapting the concept to Lyran force structures.

My only hesitation relates to your support elements. I am not sure that 1000 battle transport trucks would be sufficient to cater to the supply requirements of not only a full division, but its highly potent organic air assets.

With that single caveat, you have one of the most nasty (realistic) divisions we have encountered.

IC:
TO:Field Marshal Ward, Commander, Task Force Epsilon
FROM: Mokastana Military HQ

Mokan Tactics involve what we call "Support Divisions," basically an entire division devoted to supply and logistics for the others, they mainly consist of Chinooks, Armored transport trucks, old school APC, especially the Mokan variant. However these divisions have their own defense portions and each division has a few units for logistical purposes. This has created a minor, bureaucratic error over what goes where, which is bad on the battlefield. We would like to discuss ideas for reorganization of forces for both parties

Thank you

RE: Supply and Logistics Doctrine

How a nation fights, how it runs its military in general, is relative to the wars it plans to enter into, and the society that it stems from.

In a soviet-style command economy material is cheap, and due to the quality of Soviet conscripts (poor) and the training system (poor) specialists were generally considered expensive, thus little frontline or FEBA (forward edge of battle area) maintenance support existed. Entire formations were considered expendable. A tank division might fight for 10 days and then be replaced by another division.

The system probably reached an extreme with the Syrian Army, which in its 1973 offensive against the Israelis on the Golan Heights abandoned hundreds of tanks that could have been returned to running status with relatively minor repair such as provided within any western or South Asian tank battalion. Not a tank support battalion. A straight tank battalion.

The US armoured division maintenance battalion was slightly over four times larger than its Soviet counterpart; and every battalion had extensive maintenance capability. A US tank battalion of 54 tanks, for example, had a maintenance platoon of over 80 men.

The Soviet organization permitted them to field formations that were mostly teeth with little tail, instead of the other way around, which has historically been the case for western divisions. Conversely, because it could stay in combat indefinitely, with equipment losses systematically replaced during combat, a US armoured division is hypothesised (even in Soviet doctrinal analysis) as being the equal of 3 Soviet armoured divisions. The Soviet model emphasized shock; the western emphasized staying power.

The US armoured division (6 tank, 5 mechanized battalions) had the same number of MBTs, but had twice the manpower and about two and a half times the number of trucks. Further, it had twice as many artillery pieces, twice as many air defence weapons, 15-20 times as many helicopters, and the reconnaissance battalion was much larger and more powerful than its Soviet equivalent.

The Lyran doctrine may have a social structure that is not big on personal or political individualism, but each member of our military represents a lifetime of training and resources. We are not want to squander our personnel, nor the equipment that enables them to execute their missions. As such, great care is taken to ensure that each and every combatant is given the optimum ability to fulfil their tasking... and that means adequate maintenance and support.

In this instance, 2350 Ironhearts and 500 helicopters are being supplied by a bare 1000 trucks. A division of this nature would be strategically immobile without extensive external support. So extensive, and so continuous, that the external support would, in essence, be stuck on to the division in any case.

Save the bureaucrats the hassle. Treble the trucks assigned. No, given the number of helicopters, quadruple it. 4000 trucks. That ought to enable the division to move, and not just on operations from a fixed supply base.

As far as the actual combat balance, full marks. That's a very effective mix. Arguably the best we've seen on NS, given realistic boundaries.

I hope this analysis has been of use, or, if not, at least interesting.

Regards.

2800 LY219 Mounted Gun Systems
2000 LY219 Mortars
700 LY219 Command Vehicles

at the calculated price of NS$163.224101bn. We are gratified that you have made the decision with us to press on past the Stryker.

The LY219 is designed to interract seemlessly with the LY4 and LY300, and also to provide tactical awareness to the LY471 units. As such, the integration that your purchase represents will do far more for your total force combat yield than linear arithmetic may otherwise indicate.

We regret to say that we do not take second-hand military hardware. Anything that we need in terms of ground vehicles of this nature, we produce ourselves. We do field some Strykers, admittedly, but only in OPFOR units for training purposes.

Always a pleasure. I am glad that the advice has fallen on receptive ears. Best of luck. If things go bad in your part of the world, let me know. Don't ask the Warmarshall, or the Diplomatic Corps. Send me a message, personally, at HQ Task Force Epsilon. I can operate at my discretion in the absence of orders from the Warmarshall, and Task Force Epsilon holds just under 40 million personnel under arms.

At your request, a Mokastanan-style Ironheart Division has been created. Cost analysis has shown it to be highly expensive, not simply because of the armoured vehicles, but also because it includes 500 attack helicopters. That's about equal to 4 standard aviation divisions. Thus we have termed it a "heavy" division, to better convey the role this sort of formation would have.

As far as advice goes, if you can provide us with an idea of your current fighting forces, we would be more than happy to make suggestions based upon what we think would suit your needs.

FROM: Lyran Govermental Trade Department

Okay... your divisions, at present, are as follows...

An Infantry Element-500 men
A Mechanised Element-250 men
A Shock Troop Element- 250 men
Armoured Element- 150 Tanks

Your infantry element of your division is, assuming all are combatants, roughly equal to four companies, which puts it at the equivalent of a standard western battalion, without the support company (which is actually really useful, and includes groups like assault pioneers, mortar platoon, AT-platoon, etc).

Your mechanised element of 250 men is roughly the same (numerically) as two mechanised companies. Assuming that they use 9-10 man sections/squads, and operate from vehicles capable of carrying a single section/squad, there should be between 26 and 30 APC/IFVs in your mechanised elements, as they stand.

Your shock troop element is... what, exactly? Could you provide more information on this?

Your armoured element, 150 tanks, is your most powerful element, by far. A standard armoured division only fields 300 or so. So you are fielding a sizeable number.

On the balance, you appear to have something in the area of a brigade or two's worth of tanks, two mechanised companies, a light battalion of dismounted infantry and a "shock trooper" formation that I am unsure of.

In essence, its a very unusual formation of uncertain make up, and seems, again on the balance, to be a significantly understrength armoured division equivalent.

Aside from these divisions, what else does your armed forces utilise, and what's total strength (both in manpower and equipment)? Do you have a coastline? What do you want from your military (ie, what are its priorities)? Likely threats? The more info you can provide, the more accurate and effective will be the solution that we can design on your behalf.

Lieutenant-General Aleksandr

TO: Lyran Govermental Trade Department
FROM: Republic Of Colstream Ministry of Defence

The shock element is Heavily Armed Infantry armed with Heavy Weapons like high capacity Assualt Rifles and Machine Guns whose sole purpose is to attack quickly and hard using blitzkreig style tactics to overwhelm the opposition. They have more training than Normal or Mechanised Infantry due to the pace that they move with the Tanks and the aggression they use to achieve a quick breakthrough which could create confusion in the enemy and clears the way for the Mechanised and Normal Infantry to follow up. They use mainly Upgraded IFVs that have a larger fuel capacity and speed to keep up with the Tanks.

The Colstream Army has 250 fully equipped Divisions that has a Normal Infantry, a Mechanised Infantry element, a Shock element and an Armoured Element. The Logistics, Engineering and Medical Elements are established in each division which is always moving with the division so there is no waiting for a bridging equipment or medical assistance to treat injured soldiers.
The total strength of the Colstream Army is around 3 Million Personnel.
The likely threats are anti-armour and air attacks. We have a southern and Eastern Coastline. Our priorities are mainly the Armoured and Mechanised elements due to age of equipment.

TO: Generalissimo Ivan Cararias, Mokastana Military HQ
FROM: Field Marshal Ward, Commander, Task Force Epsilon

I have only just arrived back at my desk, so it will be a while before I've analysed the formations in detail... however there is three points that I feel are urgent to mention.

1) Mi-24 Hind.
Very useful in its time. That time is long, long gone. These machines are flying coffins. While impervious to small arms fire, which is good, anything vehicle mounted, and an awful lot of man-portable weapons, are lethal to it. Slow, poor manoeuvrability, low ceiling, poor acceleration, small transport capacity. Any contemporary IFV will shred this thing, and most infantry companies (battalions at your best case) carry anti-air that will bring this thing down with little effort. These vehicles are a liability.

2) Patriot Batteries
200 per battle division. 200! US CENTCOM ORBAT for 2006-7 is (IIRC) somewhere around 2 Patriot Batteries, and they are used for theatre defense. Perhaps Patriot Missiles, and a single battery, which I think isn't a bad idea, but I also think that Patriot isn't half what it's claimed. Part of the reason, I think, that Field Marshal Wallington and the team over at the Research and Development Commission developed the LY471 Skyguard. Patriot has nothing on it. I freely admit to some bias here.

3) Trucks
Battle Division has none in the below ORBAT... probably a typo though.

There will be more to follow, when I get a chance.

Apologies, Generalissimo, for the brief reply, but pressing duties require my attention. I will be back with more.

Stand undaunted.

TO: Generalissimo Ivan Cararias, Mokastana Military HQ

Air defence integration is a very tricky thing. Most countries have their own unique ways of doing it.

Here in Lyras, we field a single LY471 Battery in every mechanised or armoured division, which handles its organic air defence admirably, but we also field air defence divisions (of the LY471) which provide higher concentrations of defensive firepower around key areas, and are normally fielded at army group level. This also ensures that, in the event of massed air assault, there are plenty of theatre-level missiles available to respond at short notice.

For mobile local air defence, the LY219/220 Shepherd is used, and in fairly large numbers. Perfect for knocking down enemy helicopters that stray into line of sight.

ROYAL COURT OF BRELLACH

Greetings;

In Her divine wisdom, Queen Lyta of Brellach has embarked us upon a program of modernisation of the Legion of Light. Neither modern nor capable, our home-grown heavy battle tanks are decrepit and obsolete, and simply must be replaced if our people, our way of life, our nation, and our Queen, are to be protected from the darkness that lies beyond our shores. The LY4 main battle tank has been hailed with much pomp and favour, and we seek to use it as our replacement.

With this in mind, we seek to place an order for 11,000 LY4 'Wolfhound' main battle tanks, at a cost of one hundred and twenty one billion units of the currency known as dollars. We would appreciate the opportunity to pay for the units as they are delivered, to break up this payment somewhat.

Much gratitude will be afforded to you in addition to currency, and the possibility of repeat business is high as our modernisation campaign progresses, as is the liability of positive international relations.

ROYAL COURT OF BRELLACH

Greetings;
Humblest apologies for this response delay. For reference in future, in Brellach the familial name comes first, the given name comes last.

In this instance, much gratitude is to be displayed for your approval of our purchase. We would like to acquire an additional two thousand LY4 Wolfhound MBTs atop this order, reflecting the approval of recent budgetary increases. Still somewhat insufficient for our requirements, this helps fill the holes a little more. Further plans for modernisation surround all departments of the Legion of Light, in particular vessels of both the sky and the sea, but our ground forces will require more equipment in the days to come - armoured transports, anti-air defences, artillery and other such specialised machinery must still be bought for the goal of supremecy. All of these departments suffer from antiquated design and limited numbers. While welcome to review, you will be liable to discover the same.

However, our funding is not as great as our desires, for Her Wisdom requires our limited national budget to be spent elsewhere. Our purchase of armour with you, though necessary, has depleted our allocated appropriations funds somewhat. We shall review the other items on offer by yourselves as and when we are able.

Most sincerely,

With increasing proliferation of Lyran equipment in the Hamilayan armed forces the use of standard Lyran weapons will be acceptable. The utility vehicle should have enough protection to allow it to operate in urban and front-line combat (at least for short periods and heavily supported), and have a high degree of versatility, so well developed in the Ironheart vehicle. (low-level air defence, ATGM, ambulance variants requested)

To: Lyran Governmental Trade Department
From: Revolutionary Commonwealth of Wagdog, Department of Defense

Although we have neither employed nor encountered Lyran equipment directly before ourselves, we have heard of its' reputation across various conflicts and feel that it meets the emerging needs of our Marine Corps. Below is the main body of our order, and we would wish to inquire after the availability of open licenses for the included systems and the costs thereof if and as we're eligible; these to be ordered in next year's procurement cycle if and as available.

50 Ironheart Division Packages ($850 Billion USD)
30,000 LY219MGS Light Tanks ($121.5 Billion USD)
30,000 LY4 Wolfhound Main Battle Tanks ($330 Billion USD)
30,000 LY6 Werewolf Assault Guns (Indirect-fire Variant) ($570 Billion USD)
30,000 LY300 Manticore Multiple Rocket Launchers ($210 Billion USD)
30,000 LY83 Fox Light Multirole Utility Vehicles ($3 Billion USD)
TOTAL: $2,084,500,000,000 USD

We are also curious as to whether the networking ability of an LY471 Skyguard battery (examples to be procured later) would be unduly overworked by adding an additional of each standard missile carrier plus two PAMVs, as well as whether ten batteries could indeed form a coherent "Brigade" in our terminology without resort to the standard intervening Skyguard Regiment echelon; plus whether or not the Little Shepherd module capable of mounting upon a Fox comes with cannon or gun armament of any kind. For the moment we are inclined to use the Fox in its' air-defense variant as a supplement or replacement for the packaged Shepherds (which would be stored or else converted to other variants as/if needed), to ease logistical standards within our planned Air Defense Brigades of each Marine Expeditionary Division, but we are flexible if indeed only the full-standard Sepherd could satisfy requirements of proper force protection.

We'll ask for no licensing rights that aren't available for export at all, such as Skyguard/Shepherd and/or Little Shepherd if that is also as restricted as its' heavy counterpart. We are working on estimates of production targets for what (if any) licenses we'll be eligible for, and will serve notice of them promptly. In the meantime, we believe this order shall be satisfactory and trust that your wares will only live up to their reputation in their coming service.

Ma'am

Your purchase order, not entirely unexpected though it may be, is more than welcome, and is a testament both to the people of the Protectorate Research and Development Commission, and also the RCW Intelligence Apparatus.

All nominated systems have full domestic production licences available for purchase, and you are indeed eligible. Further, give the size of the purchase order, licences to all systems detailed are at 50 percent of standard.

The LY221 Little Shepherd is virtuall identical to its LY220 Shepherd counterpart, save for the removal of the PAK2 25mm cannons, a necessity to enable the module to be carried on an LY83. Both systems feature an identical radar, and the same SALY28 missiles.

Production licences to most Lyran AA systems are restricted, but not unavailable. Their purchase however requires some connection between the Protectorate and the purchasing state. In this instance, given the RCW alliance with Allanea, this condition is met.

I am uncertain as to whether the LY471 can be adjusted in the manner specified. My impression is that it can be, but I will check through Field Marshal Wallington (R&D CinC) and provide more information.

DPRs to the stated weapons systems are as follows (inclusive of discount);

LY4 Wolfhound Main Battle Tanks NS$22.5bn

OOC to Greal:
Depends what you want them for. If for direct combat, take the LY406 (the ETC variant). If you want the things to operate as a highly effective indirect fire support as well (not instead of... as well as...) then go the LY366.

The LY366 will grant greater flexibility, but the LY406 is better at the direct fire role. Which you'd prefer is really up to you.

Who knows, even mix and match. Or, for only an additional 20%, get both weapon types, and custom fit as necessary.

You can point to the write up, where the development is explained, and there it'll be in black and triple-checked white. The specs are on the NSDraftroom, if you want a look. As for the Port Finch, it's a fairly standard, if advanced, gun-cruiser with a Cromwell II uplink and a top-notch radar suite.

To: Lt. General Aleksandr, Lyran Governmental Trade Department
From: RCW Department of Defense

Now that the requisite funds are again available, we're pleased to order the domestic production rights as offered, totalling NS$114.5bn overall. Additionally, it's a welcome relief to learn we're eligible for air-defense system licensing as well; this makes certain planned rationalizations of our grid much easier in the long term. Consider us interested in both Shepherd and Little Shepherd, which we'll pay for gladly as soon as we know what we're looking at here.

So's to give a better idea of what sorts of Skyguard units we'd like to form, for the easier work of Marshal Wallington and his command at your R&D, I can now outline the proposed organization we plan to operate. These include Little Shepherd mounts as well (on Fox LMUVs) so as to provide an extra measure of protection and nodes for the combat-control system to observe through.

Wagdian Skyguard/Shepherd Combined Air Defense Battery (WDSSCADBty)
10 x LY83/LY220 Fox-SAMs (Battery Picket Series), 10 x LY4030 TEL + 80 LY4030 Missiles (Battery THAAD Series), 10 x LY4031 TEL + 320 LY4031 Missiles (Battery MEADS Series), 10 x LY4032 TEL + 40 LY4032 Missiles (Battery ABM Series); 1 x AN/FPS-65 Moat EWR, 1 x AN/FPS-66 Bastion IRR, 1 x AN/MPQ-71 Keep TTR, 2 x BCCVs, 20 x PAMVs (Battery Headquarters and Headquarters Series)
Estimated Battery Costs: NS$1.249 Billion
Wagdian Skyguard/Shepherd Combined Air Defense Brigade (WDSSCADBde)
10 x WSSCADBty; 20 BCCVs, 20 PAMVs (Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters Battery)
Estimated Brigade Costs: NS$12.71 Billion
Wagdian Skyguard/Shepherd Combined Air Defense Regiment (WDSSCADRegt)
10 x WDSSCADBde; 200 BCCVs, 200 PAMVs, (Regimental Headquarters and Headquarters Brigade)
Estimated Regimental Costs: NS$129.3 Billion

If the final unit altogether seems large, we indeed agree; hence the additional command facilities at each echelon capable of being tasked to handle the requisite information load, and the additional maintenance support to hopefully balance out the burden of such enlarged formations. We believe this unit would be viable, since we've taken pains to compensate for the increased size over Lyran standards, and if it is we'd like to order fully thirty of the custom regimental packages as laid out by us (some NS$3.879 Trillion we believe, which we are prepared to spend now that our prior order cleared successfully). We also request dispensation for the full set of Skyguard production licenses as well, though if "Rampart" remains too sensitive to disclose even to us then we are open to other arrangements for maintaining our stocks of that missile; since we understand the degree of trust required for said system and respect Lyran prerogative in choosing whom to entrust so.

Our thanks to both of you, General Aleksandr and Marshal Wallington. With your assistance our Marines will become fully capable in discharging their expeditionary or garrison duties even in the face of strategic attack; which though thankfully not through painful direct experience thereof, we still know some nations are of poor enough judgment to attempt anyway.

No doubt your military power has impressed every branch and soldier in the Mokan army. As soon as you create fighters I can assure you the Air Marshall will be on your doors for the DPRs. However to the matter at hand. We are updating the military and since we are going to be rebuilding thousands of Ironhearts and would like to intergrate the Sheperd Air defense system into our military. However, by no means do I mean to offend you, but we require DPRs in order to integrate anything new into our army so we are not reliant on foreign powers.

I understand the sensitivity you have around your air defense systems and in the event it is turned down i will revise this order.

As for the SkyGuard, we will purchase DPRs and purchase 10 divisions for a total of $520,000,000,000.

add that to the initial purchase of 10,000 shepards $150,000,000,000

which without the DPR of the shepards will be $670,000,000,000

Given our civil war situation our defensive budget is half of what it was but we can still afford this purchase.

Purchase orders for the "Wolfhound" and "wereworf" will be send as soon as total requested and budget allows.

TO: Field Marshal Millenhaus, Department of Defense, Revolutionary Commonwealth of Wagdog
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

Ma'am

Observing the devastation wrought upon hitherto powerful, advanced and first-rate nations by strategic weapons was one of the primary reasons for the development of the Skyguard system. The thought of my last sight in this life being the shockwave of a high yield strategic weapon blasting the heart out of Bredubar, Southbastion or Port Finch, seeing the fire roaring ahead of a slowly rising mushroom cloud, symbolising not just my own death but that of my friends, family and way of life... is not a comforting thought. I would, I presume, not be alone in having such thoughts, given the turbulent world in which we live. I know that Warmarshall Krell made the development of Skyguard, and its component systems, an absolute priority. Everything else was put on hold until Skyguard became operational.

Seems his foresight has paid off, however. If nothing else, I sleep easier at night.

Your desire to ensure that selfsame security for your state is entirely understandable, and we are more than happy to provide you with the licences required to produce the requisite systems. That does include the LY4032 Rampart system. You already have your own nuclear arsenal, of that we are certain. Rampart would make an exceedingly poor target for nuclear theft, where other systems are available, and we have no concerns reference where the nuclear material that composes it will end up.

Rest assured, you have our confidence.

As for the intended deployment, while the hardware, so I have been told, can certainly handle it without any worries, the useage of such a large formation would be unwieldy at best. Within Lyras, most divisions are equipped with a single battery, and only at theatre level do we find air defence divisions in the full sense of the word.

Nevertheless, we will not lecture to you. We do not question your competence, though your methods may differ. A result of our greatly differing historical experiences, no doubt.

Authorisation for purchases are granted, at the given price. DPRs are released, as proposed. DPRs to Skyguard are available at NS$260bn. Little Shepherd has never been licenced, but is certainly available, in this case at NS$40bn.

I have passed on your thanks to Field Marshal Wallington. He is appreciative, but shrugged it off. I, personally speaking, think very highly of the man, but he is very introverted, and a little eccentric. I suspect that your praise embarrassed him, ma'am.

Doctrinally, Lyran units attach LY220/219s to combat formations, and LY221/83s to rear and support echelons. Your use of the Fox in its air defence role is very much congruent with our original intentions upon the design's conception, such as I have been briefed.

From: FM Millenhaus, RCW DoD

My apologies, keeping tabs on the various situations Intel sends me has been more than usually hectic with the latest Londinian uproar going on; we don't anticipate our involvement being required but if our allies say otherwise then there is nothing for it. No embarrassment was intended to you or Marshal Wallington, and indeed he has his reasons as do we all. You and the honored Warmarshall Krell are not alone in your feelings, and have my confidence in return that you and your nation's efforts will ensure greater safety for both our peoples from the madmen that seem to gain more sovereignties and the deadly baubles thereof to abuse each day. To which abuse the Commonwealth's reaction forces in general and Marines in particular were judged to be unacceptably vulnerable, thus requiring Skyguard to gain for themselves the degree of full-spectrum protection that our homeland would hopefully enjoy under such attack from all but the largest and most implacable of foes.

Anyway, I've cleared the funding with Treasury and Commerce and State Departments all, so the requisite NS$300bn for Shepherd and Skyguard licensing both should arrive shortly following this statement. I believe I can forecast some fifty Regiments of our pattern as outlined prior in further Skyguard production within the coming years, namely to equip the ground-based ABM component of our Revolutionary Army Air Force Space Wings with LY4032s and the other launchers as well for site-defense. Our existing facilities for production of the Gorgon series missiles will help this conversion incalculably, and though much of these projections of course depends on the doctrinal aspects you mentioned they can serve as reliable minimums all the same.

As for said concerns, you're not lecturing at all; indeed I'm aware of the potential issues in using a ten-subunit structure. Alas it's a persistent symptom of our own particular use of the otherwise-common Regimental System, which we deemed a fitting means to convert what began as a cellular guerrilla force into a proper military. So as not to bore with the peculiarities of our own doctrine and the history behind it further, suffice it to say that for us like in most modern forces subunits of any arm tend to actually operate under various sizes and nomenclatures of task force rather than en masse as part of their parent regiments; these often small Corps-sized HQs serving mainly for overseeing both operational reserves and subunit rotation within their own span of responsibility. Several reorganizations are being considered to improve this system's efficiency, the Ironheart Division being one of the favored possible bases already if strengthened with our other components as purchased, so should trials determine such changes be required I'll serve notice of the increased production they'll entail; our package purchase was naturally more than just an accounting convenience as can be seen. Until such a reorganization is ordered though, we shall see how the current structure serves once adapted to purchased gear.

DPR to the LY6 Werewolf are NS$90bn, not NS$10 bn. While it may seem costly, and it is, given the potential size of production runs in the world today it does not seem unreasonable. 90,000 vehicles is really not all that much, over the long term, or to a state that fields large armoured forces.

With regards to Field Marshal Ward's whereabouts, Task Force Epsilon is still in-theatre. They have not been withdrawn, and the Novosian situation is being monitored.

Given the conditions that pervade the world at this juncture, and the turmoil which engulfs nations on a seemingly regular basis, we wholeheartedly agree with your decision to seek adequate defensive measures prior to widely announcing your presence.

We also commend your selection, which is prudent and measured, decisions which speak well of both yourself, as this is indeed your portfolio, and the King, who has placed his trust in you to carry that portfolio forward.

In light of these factors, and the constant attempt to ensure honour and decency in a world sorely bereft of both, the Executive Command Staff have authorised, in addition to the purchases you have requested, the transfer to Adornian control of equipment suitable to outfit a single artillery division, according to the ORBAT listed on the first page of the Lyran Arms catalogue.

While we acknowledge the difficulties that may be faced to staff such a proportionally large military, rest assured that in a relatively small space of time your nation will have developed the means to do so, and will thus have the equipment at hand.

Subject: LY83 'Fox' Order
______________________________

Dear sir,

On the behalf of the Royal National Police (RNP), I wish to place an order for the LY83 'Fox' Light Multirole 4x4 Utility Vehicle. We have reviewed the specifications listed for the 'Fox' and have concluded that the vehicle is perfect as the replacement for the old LandRover Defenders our rural RNP units have used for their patrol vehicle since 1984. These vehicles has served continuously and have been very good vehicles for the RNP, but sadly these vehicles have now reached their limit for continued service in the RNP. Therefore, we feel that the 'Fox' will be the ideal replacement.

The 'Fox' vehicles will be expected to operate in the rural areas that encompass most of Cotland, where the roads aren't always as good as the national highways or the city and town roads, and also to some extent in roadless forested terrain.

Due to the role the vehicles are to be operated in and the Cottish climate, which is comparable to that found around the Mediterranian Sea, we will be forced to make certain modifications to the 'Fox' vehicles we will place in service. These modifications include the installation of a Global Positioning Satellite navigation system, additional lights, an encrypted two-way police radio, and isolating the back seats in order to safely transport detainees. The vehicles will also be painted in the paint-scheme of the Royal National Police (please see attached picture). We will not require the Cromwell II fire control and battlespace integration system.

If these terms are approved, we wish to place an order for five hundred thousand LY83 'Fox' vehicles, and the total cost of fifty billion Universal Standard Dollars shall be transfered to your accounts upon confirmation of this order. However, if Domestic Production Rights for this version can be aquired for a lower cost, we wish to choose this option.

The Imperial Republic is looking to replace several obsolete elements of our armoured divisions, namely our M1A2 Abrams tanks. To this end we intend to purchase 5000 LY4 Wolfhound's and ask you to name your price for the construction rights for this vehicle.

We are also very impressed with the designs for the LY6 Werewolf and would like to purchase 500 for trials, with a view to again purchasing the construction rights.

Order summery:

LY4 Wolfhound - NS$11m x 5000 = NS$55,000,000,000
LY6 Werewolf - NS$19m x 500 = NS$9,500,000,000

We look forward to hearing from you

Defense Daily
Article: Krupp tapped for LY4A1

If you own some shares of Krupp Steel, you're probably feeling very good today. Krupp posted a 4% increase for their third quarter results, which saw its stock rise ten Reichsmarks.

But if you're into the military, then you'd be more interested to hear that Krupp has been confirmed as a project partner for the Lyrasian LY4 upgrade project. According to rumors, the deal could up worth up to eighty billion, but there has been no confirmation on the amount.

A spokesmen confirmed this earlier today when asked by a DD reporter. " Yes, we are proud to say that Lyras has chosen us as a project partner for the LY4 wolfhound upgrade. We will work with them over the course of the next several months to create a excellent upgrade package."

However, Krupp is tight-lipped about their exact involvement in the project. Krupp has a series of factory complexes that are reportedly capable of building three thousand tanks a month. Currently these factories are busy building Lince main battle tanks and upgrades for the Panther III.

There is some speculation by professional military analysts on what it they could be doing. Dave Kinkins, of the International Strategic Group, a military think tank says: " It could very well be a variant of their Bismarck armor which is considered a world-class armor scheme. Naturally it would not be the full scheme but perhaps an add-on. We also must take into account their new FCS and APS systems, although the capabilities of these systems are strictly secret and any speculation would be irresponsible."

Needless to say, such a large contract is a huge boost to Krupp. Wolfhound has over three trillion in profits and over a million tanks sold.

TO: Geir Fritjofssøn, Commissioner of the Royal National Police, Ministry for Justice and Police, The Realm of Cotland
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: LY83 'Fox' Order

Commissioner

Your decision to utilise the LY83 Fox as the replacement to the Land Rover Defenders is very much welcomed here at the the Lyran Governmental Trade Department. The Land Rover Defenders have also served in a number of roles within the Lyran Protectorate, and have enjoyed a solid reputation over a good number of years. A great deal of influence has doubtless been exerted on the design process of the LY83 by the Defenders, and very much for the better, I would imagine.

The Fox is designed to be extremely mobile, both on and off road, and we anticipate that, barring widespread and deep swamplands, bogs or fens, the Fox should comfortably meet extant mobility requirements.

The provision of alternate electronics should be of no problem. The onboard systems are designed to handle the fairly expansive Cromwell interface, so the stated GPS, encrypted two-way police radio and additional lights should pose no issues.

The isolated rear compartment will be a fraction more interesting, but again, should pose no real hardship. Be aware, however, that the internal wall will not be as durable as the outer walls, unless you would like the installation of armour-grade barriers, which would have a tradeoff in expense.

With reference to that, production licences are available at NS$12bn for unlimited non-preferential rights, which would be a substantial saving in your case. Paint schemes, while technically a domestic application issue should you decide to acquire a production licence, can be acquired from us, should you wish us to produce one for you.

Should you have any further questions, we are always happy to answer any correspondence you may have.

Regards

Lieutenant-General Aleksandr
Director

TO: Department of Defense, Imperial Republic of Manhattan Prime
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

We welcome your communication with us, and are always more than happy to greet those who wish to trade with us for the first time. We are further gratified to make the acquaintance of those who have a good eye for application of our hardware, and integration into existing force structure.

In the role you have selected, that of the M1A2, you will find a superb match in the LY4 Wolfhound. Specifically designed to match or exceed that particular vehicle, we commend you on your decision, although freely admit to some bias in this regard.

The LY6 Werewolf is also a unique piece of hardware but, as I am sure you are aware, it serves a far more specific role than the LY4. Your prudent decision to trial it within your force structure further speaks well of you.

As such we authorise purchase as detailed below.

LY4 Wolfhound - NS$11m x 5000 = NS$55,000,000,000
LY6 Werewolf - NS$19m x 500 = NS$9,500,000,000

Total: NS$64bn

The shipment will sail upon your confirmation, and acknowledgement of receipt of payment.

Your order for:

20,000 LY4 Wolfhound MBTs for NS$220 billion.

at a total cost of NS$390 billion is approved.

Expect arrival within 6 NS months of confirmation.

As always, should your requirements of Lyras extend beyond our materiel, and into the realm of direct support, please don't hesitate to ask.

In addition, your extremely large and regular purchases of extensive amounts of Lyran equipment has come to the notice of the Executive Command Staff. General Wallins of the Diplomatic Corps should be in contact with you at some point, reference the possibility of acquiring land within Greal within which to produce equipment specifically for your military. The details of course will have to be sorted out, but any initial impressions on your part would be appreciated by him.

PRESS RELEASE
As of today, 31st January, Lyran Arms and the Lyran Governmental Trade Department do acknowledge that ongoing research is being carried out in conjunction with Krupp Steel of The People's Freedom on an upgrade to the LY4 Wolfhound Main Battle Tank. Krupp has a history of exceptional design quality, and it is that experience that the Director has cited as being a driving force behind the decision to enter the development partnership. Lieutenant-General Aleksandr was not available for comment, but his office has advised that he will answer correspondence through the normal channels.

Manhattan Prime

01-02-2008, 17:45

You have our thanks for your prompt reply and payment has been confirmed and wired to your accounts. Whilst the hardware remains excellent, we simply do not have the funds to outfit our entire army with the new standard hardware, and as such remain highly interested in acquiring the production rights to at least the LY4 Wolfhound if this is at all possible. This will allow us to outfit every division of the Manhattanite army with this vehicle, being no small amount of publicity for yourselves.

Having heard of the possible upgrades to the LY4 Wolfhound, we are understandably keen to embrace any attempts to extend the life of what is a considerable investment for our government. If and when any designs are finally, we would certainly be interested in having our tanks refitted, or even buying the rights to fit the upgrades ourselves.

Again, our thanks for your prompt service, and can expect further orders in the future.

OOC to Orbath:
Equally important in any mechanised or armoured formation are its supporting echelons. Personally, I'm also really big on combined arms in all its forms, and I assign organic air defence assets by way of course. Integral air support is really handy, and can wreak havoc on poorly deployed or RP-ed forces.

"Under General Henri Guisan, a massive mobilization of militia forces was ordered. The Swiss military strategy was changed from one of static defense at the borders, to a strategy of organized long-term attrition and withdrawal to strong, well-stockpiled positions high in the Alps known as the Réduit. This controversial strategy was essentially one of deterrence. The idea was to make clear to the Third Reich that the cost of an invasion would be very high. During an invasion, the Swiss Army would cede control of the economic heartland and population centers, but retain control of crucial rail links and passes in the Réduit."

OOC: To be honest, I have not planned out the military much and I will appreciate help from anyone. I want to make sure I have a formidable military that will not make me overspend; I want to split funds equally if possible between the Army, Navy, Air Force and a Militia. Also, what are "size formations"?

Lyras

09-02-2008, 04:57

OOC: Size formations are relative measures of the numbers of personnel and equipment in a unit.

For example, a Lyran section has 10 men, and a platoon 42 (4 sections, a senior NCO and an officer).

So the question is asking, more or less, how much stuff you want to get. 3 sections? 3 battalions? 3 divisions? Any sort of ballpark would work.
If you're interested in primarily defensive deployment, your armed forces would be very different in composition to what they'd be if your focus was offensive, or emphasising expeditionary tasks. Similarly, it is rare that all services are given a truly equal proportion, as they would all contribute differently to national defence.

Is there any more info around I could dig up to help me ponder your strategic position?

[QUOTE=Lyras;13434341]OOC: Sorry for the delay all...I blame biblical greek...

OOC to Orbath:
Equally important in any mechanised or armoured formation are its supporting echelons. Personally, I'm also really big on combined arms in all its forms, and I assign organic air defence assets by way of course. Integral air support is really handy, and can wreak havoc on poorly deployed or RP-ed forces.

For reference, current Lyran ORBAT for three (doctrinal) mechanised, armoured and artillery divisions is as follows...

OOC to Orbath: The TRA-92 is the Eiko Attack Helicopter by Tyrandis. A superb bit of kit, and included in the aviation brigades integral to the divisions. The Corvus is heavier, but should work just fine.

Also, I'd be seriously considering the LY471 Skyguard. I spent weeks researching the things, and, if I may be so bold, it is probably close to the best MT anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic missile on NS. As an operational/strategic level system, it provides a level of protection at a higher level than the LY220/219 Shepherds, designed to operate in concert with it within a given expeditionary divisional framework. Almost a war-winning system on its own, in my opinion.

Reference artillery, LY300s are a multiple rocket system, with cruise missile-launching capabilities, while LY519/219 Stormdrakes are a self-propelled 120mm mortar on an LY219 Ironheart chassis. Both are good, the Manticore can be seriously scary, when used correctly. Works well for anti-ship defence, and ground-based saturation strike.

OOC to Lamonia and Neo-Ixania:
Standby. I am working on conceptual defensive models for both of you.

Lyras

15-02-2008, 04:15

OOC to Orbath:

Skyguard is a system that uses several subcomponents in several different configurations. Do you mean you want 1000 batteries (as organic air defences for divisional manoeuver groups - which is what I recommended earlier, IIRC) or 1000 battalions, or brigades, or divisions? 1000 divisions would cost an awful lot of money, but you'd find no complaints from my end :)

OOC to Greal:
t/g sent.

OOC to Hamilay:
A Skyguard battery is, like a battery in any given artillery unit, approximately equal in personnel size to a company-level formation.
Would you like me to design an upgrade package for the M88 Cataphract for you? In line with the recent LY4A1 upgrade...?

First off, I must say that i doubt that thier is a branch of the Mokan Military that does not rely heavily on your masterpieces. Secondly, as the recover of Mejico is coming along smoothly the defense buget has been returned to the status quo, allowing me to make some purchases that have been on the requests for some time now.

LY300 Manticore Multiple Rocket System 10,000
+ DRPs

total: 140 Billion NS Dollars

Also we were interested in using the LY 4045 (Anti-ship cruise missile) for our fleets as the sheer range on that looks very promising. Not to mention your LY589 Hellion, which showed to be very effective on the beaches of tierra Nueva.

I have an open checkbook, just give me a number and we will be more then happy to pay.

TO: Generalissimo Canarias
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: LY300 purchase

The LY300 Manticore Multiple Rocket System has been one of the star achievers of the Lyran arsenal to date, with many staggering strategic and tactical blows inflicted by what is becoming increasingly known as a tremendous asset. We have been expecting greater purchase orders to come through for some time, and yours not least amongst them.

The LY4045 is extremely similar to the BGM-109 Tomahawk, and modifications from it are relatively minor, primarily software and warhead, to arrive at the LY4045 and subsequent LY589 series. When the LY589 Hellion is released for export (which it has not been yet), you will be on the (short) list of states permitted to purchase it.

The LY4045 is, however, available for use as part of the LY300 suite, and by virtue of purchase of the LY300, you are entitled to domestic production rights to the LY4045, on the basis that it is only utilised from the LY300 platform. However, given our nations' unique history, Executive Command have authorised the implementation of the LY4045 from other platforms, as you see fit, without restriction. This would included any number of VLS platforms, persuant to the dimensions being compatible.

Finally, your purchase order and request for domestic production rights to the LY300 have been, as I'm sure you have by now gathered, approved, and your account charged accordingly.

Should you have any further questions on this matter, please don't hesitate to ask.

Your purchase order for 6 divisions, 3 Armoured and 3 Artillery, has been approved, at the stated price of NS$44.4bn. Training programs are indeed available, but are both rigorous and time intensive. Should you wish to investigate the possibility of training alongside Lyran forces, please submit details as to which formations you would like trained, and in what capacity you would like them to train, so that we can marry them up with a Lyran formation undergoing similar training.
