OOC: Ok, I've got nothing against wars but, could you supply us with a reason why you declare war ICly reason and a more detail report besides your ORBAT please? It would make the understanding of the war easier.

Just one question: How do you supply, equip and train a ground force of 75 million with a defence budget under $2 trillion?

Another thing: Why the blazes are invading a smaller nation than yourself?

OOC: Any particular reason why you started this war? Or are you just feeling a tad imperialistic? Also, it's generally a good idea to post something other than you're completely unrealistic ORBAT in the first post.

OOC: Nice to see you again Volzgrad.

OOC: Nice to see you again Volzgrad.

OOC: Thanks, good to see you too.

OOC: First, read this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=543994). Then, read the links on it. Then, revise this thread here.
Problems:
1) Why are you going to war? What led up to this war? What dispute was there between you and Pantherai that was irreconcilable, except by war? Also, who is Pantherai, anyway?
2) Why would you send two battlegroups, each with 30 carriers and 16 amphibious assault ships, but escort each with only 8 cruisers (and 41 frigates, but frigates are less capable than destroyers or cruisers, so they're less significant; you also brought in many subs, but subs don't directly escort very well, since they do best when they stay stealthy, and a battlegroup is one of the least stealthy things known to man)?
3) How do you carry 75 million troops on 32 troop-carrying ships?
