Greetings Noble Leaders,

We are a newly established nation, who have had the modern world thrust upon them. Consequently whilst Civil Equipment has been relatively easy to obtain, Military equipment has not been quite so forth comming. Whilst we are a small population we are a warrior people and must be ever vigilant!

We currently have:

1 million various small arms, ranging in quality, age and type. Everything From pistols to machine guns to SAMs.

200,000 large trucks, Armoured cars, armed jeeps, motorbikes, fuel tankers.

140- Chieftan Tanks plus twelve specialist variants.

500- Trailered atillery pieces various calibres.

89- IFVs, mostly M-113's

40- Mil-8 transport Helicopters

15- Mil-24 "Hind" Gunships

14- lynx helicopters (naval variant)

3- Avro Vulcan bombers

20- f-8 crusader fighters

14- F104G Starfighters.

15- C-130 Transports

We wish to expand this small force so will review all offers of new and reconditioned equipment offered.

Thank you for you're time fellow leaders,

The Warlord Krang- Master Warchief Elect and Leader of the Skull council.

You seem to already have far more equipment than your tiny population can possibly use. We suggest that you sell half of it and use the money to buy pineapple upside-down cake to support Fatatatutti's military.

Re: Armament

We invite you to examine products from our catalog (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=587171). In particular, we wish to highlight three products that are particularly well-suited for militaries with low budgets:
*IFV-67-B (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=5602&view=findpost&p=3479062) - a relatively inexpensive infantry fighting vehicle, better-protected and better-armed than the M113
*F-7 (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=5457) interceptor, a modern replacement for the F-104G
*HS-12 (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=5635&view=findpost&p=3482394) - a light surface combatant that would help you fill your coastal defense needs

OOC: Your small arms stockpile couldn't possibly reflect your current military - at 6 million people, you're not much larger than Ireland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Defence_Forces)! Obviously, you could've built up stockpiles for the future. Still, the truck and tank parks are fairly problematic, even with that assumption in mind.

We wish to invite you to visit our storefront so you can browse our entire catalogue:

If you can give us a more detailed list of the equipment your armed forces posess with permission from your government to enter your nation our engineers could assess the capability of restoring your equipment back to 100%.

Thank you,

M.A.C Heavy Industries Defense Management.

The Fiefdom of Non-Exploding Cupcake is willing to sell you our new firearm, the X-97 "Disemboweler" heavy rifle, for a low price! The X-97 is 7 feet 16 inches from butt to barrel tip, weighs 32 pounds, uses a revolutionary new 6.09mm round tested to be twice as effective as standard 5.56mm ammunition (must be purchased separately), comes with laser sights and a built-in cigarette lighter, and is now available for only $6,000! It is available in a variety of colors, including beige, hot pink, dandelion, and fuchsia (only 8 fuchsia left in stock).

If you were pleased with the X-97 -- satisfaction is guaranteed -- we would be pleased to sell you any of our number of other revolutionary new defense technologies, including the Pavane III steam-operated tank (now with easy turret UAV recovery), A-33 Platypus submergible turboprop bomber, and the Bear class ASAT hydrofoil missile cruiser.

The Miraadery of Catawaba
An Official Communication from the Alpha Miraade Errant Mira'ad
In Regards to the modernization of the McSavaganian Air Force

Dear Sir or Madame;

Welcome to the world stage, ner vod! I was in your unenviable position merely a year ago, and I know the pressure and paranoia that comes from being a small nation in a sea of predators. Having acquired the allies to better arm and support my nation, I was given the responsiblity to pass it on whenever possible. I'd like to donate to your nation:


48 F-16C Fighting Falcons
12 F-16D Fighting Falcons (two seater model)
36 A-10C Thunderbolt II
And an accompanying squadron of instructor pilots in our Generation 5.5 F-1 Firebird Air Superiority fighters to educate your pilots in the skills of modern air warfare


I'm sorry to say that I don't have much in the way of extra war material that would be better than your own that you could not sustain at your technological level. I'd be glad to discuss further cooperative ventures in techonological, scientific, economic and military fields.

From the heart,



Errant Mira'ad
Alpha Miraade
Commander and Chief

McSavagania humbly accepts Catawabas assistance. The current F104G's will be retired and placed in storage, whilst the F-8's will be transferred to The McSavaganian Naval Air arm...When one is established.

Dear Warlord,

It is with pride and pleasure that I introduce to you Crookfur Arms, one of the world's oldest and most respected suppliers of defence material.

Our current catalogue can be found here (http://z8.invisionfree.com/Crookfur_Arms/index.php?) and I would be msot obliged if you could find the time to give it a look through.

As well as new equipment we also offer a full range of upgrade, maintainance and bespoke equipment design servcies.

We can in conjuction with the Crookfur MoD arrange for the supply of retired or surplus equipment from Crookfur stocks.

We have in the past carried out extensive upgrade projects on both the F-8 Crusader and Avro Vulcan and can supply details of these on request, although with the relatively small number of airframes involved it may be more cost effective to simply aquire replacements.

Should you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Karen Jenkins

OOC: Crookfur, I Know you....you upgraded my F-8's when I was Fuggalania....,,,a year or so ago....

OOC: It's late here, so I am too tired to post anything original, but check out Groupe AIR (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14551838#post14551838). We take commissions, and we are constantly releasing new designs. We also offer advice and help with aerial combat questions.
