The New Caribbean Treaty Organization (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/NCTO), a recently formed alliance of nations in the New Caribbean region, is looking to procure equipment in order to standardize its military forces. We therefore send out a call to all those who produce military equipment to propose their product to us.

We are seeking a very wide variety of products in order to equip the NCTO army, air force and navy. Because the NCTO military is composed of troops from almost a dozen different nations, expect the order to be of a corresponding magnitude.

To submit your product, please fill out the following general form, examples are included:

Product Type: Light machine gun
Product Name: Minimi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Minimi) (please link)
Manufacturer: FN Herstal (please link to your storefront, if extant)
Country of Origin: Belgium
Associated Products: 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition (please list ammunitions, ordinances, planes (in the case of aircraft carriers), etc. that are used with the product).
Notable Variants: Minimi 7.62
Users: Belgium, Canada, France, etc.
Have there been any independent reviews of your product? Yes (please link)/No
Can the product be modified to our specifications? Yes/No
Are you willing to provide the NCTO with test units free of charge? Yes (how many)/No

While we understand that this process is slightly more exhaustive than the usual call for equipment, the NCTO is an ideal customer. Not only will you be receiving an order sized to match the organization's multinational armed forces, but your product will have a chance to impress the higher-ups up the various member nations and their colonial masters (where applicable).

STW Will be rolling out some pitches shortly.

OOC- only one offer at this time.

Product Type: Armored Missile Vehicle
Product Name: Mobile Armored Missile Platform
Manufacturer: Emorden-Geist Weapons Manufacturing Corporation
Country of Origin: The Grand World Order
Associated Products:
-Custom Missile Mounts are sold through E.G.W.M.C. for any missile you wish to use with the M.A.M.P.
Notable Variants: None yet, though the vehicle is extremely customizable
Users: The Grand World Order
Have there been any independent reviews of your product? No
Can the product be modified to our specifications? Yes
Are you willing to provide the NCTO with test units free of charge? 5 units will be sent, though you will have to specify which missiles for us to supply mounts for.

Additional info: The M.A.M.P. is a very new product from the E.G.W.M.C.'s laboratories ((I think you're the first I've actually offered it to)). The Armed Forces of the GWO haven't begun mass producing it yet, but they do have a small force for defense in several Provinces. The size and weight of the missiles being put onto the platform determine how many it can hold, obviously. Missiles ranging from SAMs to basic rocket pods can be mounted on the vehicle, meaning it can either be used as a heavily armed mobile SAM site, a tank hunter, or an infantry killer. Four "rings" allow for most mountable MGs to be put on for self-protection.


Product Type: Main/Heavy Battle Tank
Product Name: Divine Tiger
Manufacturer: The GWO Government
Country of Origin: The Grand World Order
Associated Products:
-Shells (Size depending on variant)
-.75 Caliber bullets
Notable Variants: Divine Tiger, Accuracy (120mm Shells), Divine Tiger, Power (125mm Shells), Divine Tiger, Tank Killer (180mm Shells), Divine Tiger, Infantry Killer (Two large miniguns in a specialized turret), Divine Tiger, Missile (EXPERITMENTAL! Contains rocket pods with IR missiles, as well as Hellfire missile launchers)
Users: The Grand World Order, Ithsam
Have there been any independent reviews of your product? No
Can the product be modified to our specifications? Yes
Are you willing to provide the NCTO with test units free of charge? Yes (15)

Additional Info: The Divine Tiger is one of the extremely few (Perhaps only) dual-barreled tanks around. While it requires two loaders or two autoloaders, each barrel can be discharged independantly, allowing for quicker firing. The exceptions to the dual-barrel property are the Tank Killer variant, which uses a single and very large cannon instead of two to deliver more firepower, the Infantry Killer, which instead uses two miniguns to destroy infantry and lightly armored targets, and the Experimental Missile variant, which instead uses several missile batteries to take out helicopters and other vehicles. A .75 caliber co-axial machine gun makes quick work of infantry and light vehicles. However, it is not available on the IK variant.


((OOC: I know these can sound a bit wanked at first, but if you think so, ask me about the "wanked" features and I'll explain...also, I'm not very descriptive. Either way, feel free to ask about anything. Also, Belschaft, the F-23 is a relative of the F-22 that is slightly faster and easier to fly.))

I'm pretty sure Zinaire shares my opinion that we only wish to see peer reviewed equipment only, i.e. designs that have been given the "go ahead" by the NSD.

TPF, we are quite aware of the International Mall (at least, I presume those among our number are) but are looking for a convincing sales pitch at the moment as well. Also the Int. Mall doesn't answer several of the questions Zinaire has asked in his 'general form'. Thanks anyway mate, and I predict our future purchases will likely come from /D/ anyway.

((OOC: I dropped NSD after they claimed that .50 caliber sniper rifles are illogical and cannot be used efficiently, even though the US Army and Marine Corps use them all the time (M82 and variants thereof). However, I have talked about the Divine Tiger with many people over MSN and whatnot. The only reason I haven't made a storefront is because the last time I made one, people screamed at me that I wasn't supposed to put it in International Incidents. However, I'm probably going to post one again sometime soon.))
