Right, so as the title says I'm looking for a war, nothing too heavy, I mostly wanna try and test Goblin Tactics and weapons in combat with people using real world tech, so this'll only involve a Klan of Goblins, not Toops as a whole nation.

So onto plot, I want to use Goblin Pirates for this, especially cos I want to introduce a few characters, as I said before only a small scale war, I'll be using a small raider fleet, so I don't wanna end up being horribly horribly annihilated (btw, I'm okay being only horribly annihilated :P)

Anyone at all interested?

I am interested, although I do not know my way around MT tech much and my military is still being revamped. If this counts me out, I understand.

Interested, would this be fought in your nation or in ours? Or both? I guess I'm asking, what is the scenario here? And when you say 'small-scale war' do you mean like a few divisions or less than that?

I might be interest, though would like more info on the general situation.

I'm pretty interested too.

I'm not sure what else to tell yah, so I'll tell yah everything, the Pirate Fleet is a combination of the small raider fleet who go out and sneakily perform these missions, and the central converted Oil Tanker which serves as a Battleship come Cargo Ship, (hopefully you won't have to deal with this)

The fleet is controlled by subgoblin Abscham, who is more intelligent than the typical Goblin, not that that's very difficult and not that this makes him a genious, he's not, the basic operations they have going are regular Piracy (the capture and ransom of ships, goods and personell) Wrecking (the salvage of wartime wreckage in shallow waters) and Smuggling (the covert distribution of illegal or high tax goods)

It probably wouldn't be fought in either Goblin or your own territory, more likely out in the open sea, though there is potential it could be fought in either (Goblins discovered in your waters or a revenge attack on the Goblins as they moor up)

I think that's everything, the fact so many of ye have signed up makes it more interesting, would any of ye be against some form of Coalition, maybe the levels of Piracy have gotten so bad ye band together to sink Da Pirate Fleet?

I'd be fine with that, since my nation hates piracy, a form of terrorism. ^^

I'd take part in joint counterpiracy ops as Tolvan hates pirates.

I'm up for some pirate hunting, and a group always makes things more fun!

OK, because it seems a one sided fight, I'll join as a pirate brethren

If your interested in testing out their tactics and weapons against any tech you can sign up at my Pan South Lizasaurianism thread. ;)

Counter Piracy:
Telros
Tolvan
