Anyone interested in some WARGAMES?

I'm in as long as you tell me max number of each type of unit. Is this large or small scale?

What Paratroopers said.

Well THe Battlehawk posses a small Island, Called Talon island, that in uninhabitated, to be deiced, one nation will set up a base and defend it from the otehrs, so its sort of medium, but bear in mind that the Airfield on Talon island is small, but a small fleet would be allowed, a carrier group for example.

good, thats decent, um I'll get a map up, could it be a small island chain?

Yea, thats perfectly fine

I might join.
What size of force are we talking here?

Expeditionary force, nothing major, it's just a small chain of islands, that have some tactical significance

I know.
I'm not a real statistics major yet, I haven't exactly mastered war, so a small explanation of the size of an expeditionary force would be nice :]

A Carrier group, with a few assault ships, so it's them plus marines, no massive tanks or drednaughts

'Kay, thanks.
So this will be small forces trying to take over the island?
King of the Hill kind of style?

Pretty much yea

I'll get in, provide sea-support. Is it live-fire?

I think so.

No not live fire, we don't want dead people, it's a wargame not a war

Anyways, I'll provide navy support.

Every man to themselves or teams?

Are we allowed to use armour?

Duh... Tanks and everything.

Good.

Sorry, it was just that he had said "no big tanks or anything" earlier. Was just making sure...

im still not sure how big you say we can bring, like 500 troops?

Also, are there teams?

I want to bring a division in actually.

Yes there are going to be teams, you can bring tanks as long as you can justify bringing them on in a small fleet.
The Teams will be

(Defenders)

(Attackers)

Which one do you all want to be?

can i join?

I'll be a defender. I'll only have the 65th artillery regiment with me. Here's the equipment and men I'll have:

Nice ORBAT, Alanea please read BH's posts, also if I'm an attacker am I allowed to use dreaghtnoughts?

Thanks. Battlehawk can you specify the size of the islands, the number, and the importance of them?

Also, would it be easier if we turned this into a real battle situation, because wargames just would complicate it up.

I suppose thats possible, the islands are roughly the size of the falklands, and they are about 100 miles from Mainland The Battlehawk, so their kindof importnat

Ok. I'll be defending the main islands.

As their mine, I'll also be defending them

Ok. You will provide infantry/air cover I assume, because I am providing anti-naval, land, and air artillery.

I would be interested to join if I could just try out some of my special forces. Can I join as a small presence with no conventional forces?

What do you mean by that? Guerilla? Raiders? Close-quarters troops? Specify.

By that I think he would mean special forces, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_forces is a link, all of above qualify. I'll post my ORBAT soon.

Ok. How much do you think you're gonna have?

Ill send some troops if its wargames, but not a real fight.

Ok. How much do you think you're gonna have?

100 special insertion troops

Similar to the SAS in structure and tactics.

Well I meant 101st paratroopers...

Well I meant 101st paratroopers...

A legion of troops, in my military that's about 1 thousand troops, yes I know the wiki link for troop stuff.

Ok. Are you attacking?

Nope, I have a map up btw, it's here: http://s383.photobucket.com/albums/oo273/kenavt/nationstates/islandmap.png um name the islands whatever you want.

Jennings & Rall would be interested in participating. Although we lack a sizeable Navy, our Marines are some of the toughest and highly skilled soldiers on the battlefields. I would be happy to deploy a Marine battalion to operate as Opposing Force in the effort to secure some of the smaller islands, or assist on the larger ones.

OK, so last role call,

Put your Nation and wheter your attacking or defending, we'll start IC thread soon

I'll send my 1305th Legion, 1st Regiment, 27th Battalion, 101st Airborne Divison (That was one legion, not all 4 things, the legion is part of each, I'll post a more exact orbat if I feel like it but that's it for now.)

Ventares- whichever side has the fewest people

I am considering switching to defense.

No Jennings, your the attack. With Ventares

Me and Ventares against all you on defense? I have a thousand Marines and PT boats, theres no way we are taking anything unless he has a bulked up military, which by his government figures, isn't that much larger than my own, or atleast as well funded.

Well I'm definitely defence with BH. We might need to limit it to that with all my artillery and his forces.

Well, right now the Attackers have 1000 Marines and Six Battleboaties, mabey double with whatever Ventares has. As I said before, It will be most likely similar to my military seeing as his budget is only around 190 billion to my 110 billion dollars allotted for defense.

I think we need to even this out.

Yeah, need to even this out.

I'll go attack, If you will let me.

Say a paratrooper battalion and two cavalry battalions plus necessary support.
