There really isn't much to write here, but what I'm looking for are people interested in a 1930's-1940's era RP. If you wanna apply, show me a past RP you were involved in so that I can see what your writing is like. I plan on losing this war, and I don't wanna lose to a noob or someone who can't write. If I deny you, don't take it to hard. Thanks.

I almost forgot, we are going to have two alliances, I'm on the one that loses. We are the bad guys, Nazi/Fascist types. The others are the pro-democracy, or the people who were attacked. I'll write up a thing for my country later.

Oh and thanks for the compliment (Or atleast I think there was one :p)

Alrightey, thank you.

Oh, blazes! Why did I have to go and attack a bunch of modern nations just now?

Although, if Telvira's in this, I'm tempted to suggest that we suspend the original Divine Storm and instead have the Pyekan Kuogu side with BC in a WWII-ish setting with which my nation would sit more comfortably. Of course I'd still be delighted to attack any Pacific colonies that Telvira may hold in that time period ;)

I don't know, I suppose this is just a non-committal registering of interest on my part. I probably shouldn't try to do this and this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=589529) at the same time, but if other participants such as Telvira are okay with dropping or suspending the prior RP, I'd be interested in focusing on this. I am missing my old arsenal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448162) such as the Type 0 Chi-Ha Flakvierling adaptation and Kawasaki Ki-45 KAIc Toryu fighters.

Right now I'm feeling old as I realise that most of my original RPs are too old to even be found by searching Jolt. Crazy.

That works for me. Though I'm fine with continuing the MT thread as well.

Fantastic stuff, thanks Pyeki, you're in, just put up a quick reference guide when you get a chance.

Cool. This could be good.

What are the thoughts on population? Pyeki's listed population is around five billion, so I can go with that, but I'm also happy to play a reduced population if everyone else is.

I'll work up a list of military equipment now. Unsurprisingly, it'll be mostly Japanese or based upon it, as every version of Pyeki either idealises the Japanese Empire and aspires to mirror it, or replaces its role in RPs where RL nations don't exist. Consequently, we're liable to suck at not getting killed.

All ya had to say was that you're Toops man! Welcome aboard!

New Chalcedon, you're in too, just need to know what side your both on, and a little write up.

Pyeki, I'm thinking we are all gunna have to reduce the pop somewhat, but in the end I'm gunna leave the decision to the player how much they wanna reduce it to.

Regrettably, due to a situation that just came up IRL, I'm not expanding my online commitments at the moment. I will continue to maintain my current level of involvement (specifically, I'm not disappearing from any threads I'm involved in), but I'm not getting involved in any new ones atm. Which means that I'm scrappnig my involvement in this one, unfortunately.

I could really go for either faction right now, if I were to choose the opposing faction to Pyeki that'd create some interesting tensions for the current RP.

I'm assuming by write up you mean a list of Armed forces.

Blackhelm you already know me but if you want I can fish up some threads. However I would like to play it with the evil guys.

yea sure Ralk, it could add some back story to our nations relationship. Remember, try and keep posts at a minimum of two paragraphs.

Is this still going to happen?

Walmington is a nation stuck in the 1940s, so it would just be ordianry RP, for me =)

More importantly, Pyeki and I were supposed to have a war about three years ago, but with the Walmingtonian pace of life being what it is, we haven't got around to it, yet!

A factbook (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=311891) explaining something of WoS, though, granted, it is over five years old =P

If you want to look at the sort of harlmess nation that WoS is generally seen to be, here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=314987) was an attempt to show off military strength that degenerated into beer swilling and diplomatic waffling. Alas, most of my war RPs have long since sunk into pre-Jolt blackness, but I swear we had a good shoot-out with Bismarck and its escorts in the Denmark Strait, back in the day!

Basically, though, Walmington is a second England. A mid-sized North Atlantic island colonised by British and Irish people starting at the end of the C15th, it it totally independent and has its own monarchy, church, and even an intercontinental empire, but models it all after the motherland, and Great Walmington remains fundamentally loyal whenever Britannia's honour is threatened.

The population of the home islands is just under 50 million, and of the empire's holdings in Africa and Asia just over 40 million.

We would be on the democratic side, and the expectation would be that Pyeki should invade Ceyloba (roughly analogous to Sri Lanka) as part of its pursuit of the Pyekanma Doctrine, drawing Walmington into the conflict.

Ceyloba is the empire's only Asian property, and beyond that all holdings are in southern and western Africa (Madagascar, the Cape Colonies (part of South Africa plus Swaziland and Lesotho), Waynesia (Zimbabwe), Sao Tome and Principe, Walmingtonian Togoland (Togo), and Walmingtonian Mauritania and Saharaland (Mauritania and Western Sahara)).

Military equipment is mostly local derivations of British equipment from the late 1930s and very early 1940s. We are, for example, still committed to the idea of infantry tanks and cruiser tanks as two distinct classes, and are struggling to catch on when it comes to combined arms and truly mechanised warfare.

The RWN incorporates:
6 battleships (including 1 refitted pre-dreadnought)
4 battlecruisers
5 fleet carriers
6 escort carriers
15 heavy cruisers
16 light cruisers
36 destroyers
16 corvettes

Though I may start the war without the escort carriers and corvettes, exposing a serious lack of convoy protection capability for an island nation with an over-seas empire.

The RWAF will start with a feeble excuse for a bomber command, and a fighter command furnished mostly with the Wren, a local version of the Hawker Hurricane with only six machineguns instead of eight. Later we will turn out something that's like a third sister to Spitfire and Mustang, and is one of the better prop-fighters of the WWII period. Assuming we don't get invaded first, obviously!

Anyway, I hope this is going ahead! It has been a long time for Walmington!

Walmington, I would love to have you in. Your nation is in part why I wanted to do a WWII thread, I read about your nation awhile back and thought it was awesome! Welcome aboard man! Mind if I start the war by Pearl Harboring your fleet somewhere?

Everybody, I'm going to have the thread up tommorow around 5ish, I hope this is okay for everybody.

Been a long time since I've done a PT RP...
An idea of scale please? (character, divisional, or diplomatic level RP?)

As a note to Telvira, RP seems to start in 1930's so think early solomon islands and Bataan death march amounts of tech, most of the gear you listed was late-war, with the M26 and such seeing surprisingly little action, not sure if the A-35 was even fielded.

So yeah, expect me to field a ton of bolt-actions with SMGs and MGs to provide the base and heavy-assault firepower.

Therefore, I applaud Dakimrod in his historical accuracy.

I think I'll take a bit of a British colony slant this time (using Ross+P14 rifles, plus teh RAM tanks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_tank) and their associated mods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexton_(artillery))).

Gotta teach those Neo-Nazi Africans that they still aren't the top of the fod chain...
Wait, it's 1930, they aren't neo-fascists... They're just fascists...
That should make it morally easier for me to conquer and enslave 'Africa' (Exponent/BC)...

Gosh, well, cheers, mate =)

Righ, Pyeki is going to attack my Gallagan Fleet (Gallaga is sort of one 'version' of India, which sometimes exists along side others, depending how much disbelief is being suspended at a particular moment) at Vollumbo, Dominion of Ceyloba (Sri Lanka-ish), but if you want to strike elsewhere in co-ordination with the Pyekan attack that would be okay.

As I indicate, WoS has significant colonies in Africa (or one version of Africa), if that's of interest. Port Mavis is sort of equivalent to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and one of the major ports in the Walmingtonian Empire. We have 15 million people in the Cape Colonies and 6 million just north, inland, in Waynesia, and major livestock and mining industries there, so the southern African colonies are arguably the most important part of the empire (along with Ceyloba, which provides the tea, without which WoS would curl up in a shivering ball).

I'll start drawing up my fleet dispositions and colonial details so you can decide what to attack =) Looks like WoS may be half-way knocked out of the war in the first day, but the underdog island mentality is kinda central to my nation anyway, so that's okay!

Anyway, so long as it is going ahead I'm happy. I'm not worried about it moving slowly... I've never RP'd any other way, hehe.

Well, Wolf Hold seems to have Centurions, and they didn't even enter active service until after WWII, and I don't think anything in most of our arsenals could put a dent in one!

I'm hoping they don't appear too much at the start, I suppose.

As an aside, it's nice to see the Ram getting a chance. If you're using all the mods, Skink will make enemy infantry sad. But now I am very much tempted to bring on Sentinel tanks mid way through the war when Matilda I rip-offs just aren't cutting it!

And Walmington's standard issue rifle is closely related to the P.14, but is chambered for 25-2" Walmingtonian (6.35x51mm) and fitted with a detachable box magazine. If you're short a Britishy parent nation, think of us ; )

Ahh it is early 1930's? I thought it was about 1940's?

I had the Centurion as a counter incase anyone decided to equip themselves with Maus or other later WW2 or experimental project. I had no real intention to use them other then in counter attacks.

However can you see any further discrepncies as I think half my equipment is post 1942 at least.

Well, BC was pretty vague in his OP (stating only 30s-40s), but I think we're all good enough RPers to work something out.

Probably we can all allow one another the odd 'wonder weapon' under the right circumstances.

If we weren't on the same side, and I were invading you, for example, while nobody else had anything better than a Sherman or a Cromwell, I could accept an elite unit equipped with Centurions defending the capital, or something like that. Similarly, Pyeki has some rocket and turbojet aircraft, but his military command takes a dim view of preparations for defence when the empire's supposed to be on the attack, so won't allow a useful number to be built (a bit like a reverse of Hitler demanding that all his jet fighters be build as fighter-bombers when he needed interceptors). I'd regard Telvira's Pershings in a similar light to begin with.

I suppose there's a case for balancing strengths and weaknesses, too. Broadly, my navy will proably build up terrifyingly quickly, but will be adjacent to a comparatively small army. Specifically, BC's battleships (unless they're battle cruisers?) are incredibly fast, but their primary guns are smaller than those of my battleships or Pyeki's. Pyeki has fanatical soldiers but tanks you can shoot through with a high-powered rifle. And so forth...

Yeah it would all be down to balance, I wouldn't belive it fair to field Centurions unless say like your example the dfence of the capital or some other situation in which they are condusive to the RP and are not in a position to be a god mod of sorts.

As for weaknesses, The Kingdom of The Wolf, the WW2 era name for my nation, is a relativly land locked state, we only have one port and we are encompassed by plains and desert, hence the superior land and air forces, whilst are navy is sadly to be found wanting. So say for example and allied invasion my forces would need assistance in being transported to the invasion staging grounds and to the landing ground themselves, however once we are on the ground, our army can lead a breakthrough etc.

I really dont know, so is rp = roleplay???

There really isn't much to write here, but what I'm looking for are people interested in a 1930's-1940's era RP.

I don't have any examples of my writing, but I will say that I played NationStates two years ago and did have experience there, and I think this would be a nice place to restart (If you need proof, I was one of the major players in that Hatarian War a few years ago)
A few questions:
Would we be using our present countries as they are now? After all, my general history of my country has it in a civil war in the 1930s and 1940s, so it would be fairly difficult to pull off. Theoretically, I could become a sort of Spain in a sense, as in a divided nation that suffers from a civil war as others come in and cause misery.

I will try to edit my equipment list. If we're going for early war than most will remain unchanged.

And the A-35 was designed and built in 1941, just never fielded. It's nothing wonder-weapon-ish, just a two-seater propeller driven dive bomber

Basically, I'm just using all US stuff from that era, with a few differences. Expect a new equipment list soon

If this is still open then I'd quite like to join. During the thirties tech period Sarrowquand was still a colonised nation in the Nerontire empire so I'd be playing as an imperial power in decline, a sick man. The Nerontire were quite harsh so they'd be seeking to join up with the Fascists and would be hoping that a war would gain them territory to exploit and to bring their own people together (of course its not going to work out well for them at all). I'll put together a fact book for a 30's tech Nerontire tonight.

.....Hmmm, I didn't realize the map, which could potentially be a problem. My country is largely focused around Kamchatka, Manchuria, and Japan, which is a bit of a problem given that Exponent seems to be located in Africa. While this means that the civil war wouldn't be a big issue, I don't see anything wrong in seeing Imperial forces send in a few thousand in an attempt to show that they are the legitimate power of Kayazistan or something along those lines. Either way, I won't be a major player due to the small size of my nation, and given that my country would be in the misery of civil war at this time.

You're nation would be able to play in well with the position of Pyeki, who resides in the South Pacific.

I'd mostly be a naval force, with a small land contribution, since I'm located where RL Britain is

Indeed, Kayazistan... if your nation is in Asia and in civil war, I'm sure the Pyekan National Army will be paying you a visit.

Anyway, I'm going to have to start posting IC tomorrow, as I'm yawning my head off right now and would make a mess of it.

Now, BC, since I'll be gone for a few hours, I'll leave some geography questions up in the air.

Port Mavis is an equivalent to Port Elizabeth of South Africa, so is a city on one version of continental Africa, and as such isn't really part of an island chain. I do have island chains, though, notably The Walmingtonian Protectorates of St.Thomas and Prince's Island, which are equivalent to Sao Tome and Principe. Very vulnerable, but not very valuable in fleet terms (unlike Port Mavis).

I'm not sure what you want to do about geography and Africa specifically, so I used your map as a basis just to show you where Walmingtonian territories would be (in yellow). This isn't an authoritative map, as it overlaps part of your territory, but I wanted to share so we can decide what's what.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Chivtv/NS1/wosexponentempiresmap-1.jpg

Port Mavis is represented by the red square on the southern tip of the continent.

The only bit that really intrudes (I modified my northwest African holdings a little) is Togoland (Togo). So, I dunno if you think we should inhabit different Africas, or if Togoland is Walmingtonian and ends up taken by you, or if perhaps the reverse is somehow true. Anyway, thoughts welcome!

Tomorrow I will post my factbook, respond to BC's thread, and start an Oriental Theatre thread in which Pyeki will then attack me, too.

I look forward to fighting with and against various of you!

hmm....the position of your Togoland is rather crucial to my nation, as Divinity is historically a major port of the Empire......I've got an idea! Do Port Mavis and Togoland need to be on the same continent? This is NS Earth afterall, so I'm sure there are many Africa like continents abound, perhaps Port Mavis can be on my Africa, and Togoland and the other north African colony can be on a seperate one. What do ya think?

I think it may have to be two Africas.

I may as well have all my stuff on the same Africa and assume it's sort of adjacent to yours?

WoS's home islands are mid way across a version of the North Atlantic, west of the British isles... I'll imagine that your Africa is somewhere south of me, and west of my Africa, east of which is Gallaga (my India)... so WoS is north of you, and WoS Africa just east. Presumably your fleet would head off southeast from your east coast to attack Port Mavis, and my Empire is potentially cut in two by you.

I like the idea of WoS doing it tough in the early war years before fighting back =)

Okay, I'll get something IC together, now.

Now to go and get myself attacked. My, I'm typing a lot today! Good job I didn't have plans =)

K, just for kicks and giggles, if BC's country is composed of mostly cuacasain christians, the ROW would be of negroes, right?

Likewise, Indians would be Crossacks, Middle East would be Orientals, Asians would be Latino, and Canadians would be Mexicans. Now where would Spaniards fit?

That way it would be impossable for the mods to say we are re-enacting history.

K, just for kicks and giggles, if BC's country is composed of mostly cuacasain christians, the ROW would be of negroes, right?


No, negroes make up most of the population, the cities are just mostly white. The blacks live in the rural parts, they are the natives and such, and the whites don't usually leave the cities.

Well, there's something in the region of sod-all chance of anybody accusing us of a banned alternate-history RP, unless they can tell us the real histories of the empires of Walmington, Exponent, Pyeki, Kayazistan, Telvira, and so on and so forth, so I'm not sure what you're on about there, really, HT =)

So far as Walmington's concerned, this is merely the Second Anti-Fascist War, following up on the largely unresolved struggle fought by WoS, Iansisle, and Calarca against Ercolana, Hainan, Der Kriegsmarine (sic), and Chiang Mai.

...Catholicism is another word for Fascism, right?

"How the devil do they manage the farms and sermonise to the tribals?" would be the typical wondering of a white Walmingtonian in Togoland, Waynesia, the Cape, or Vazimbaland =)

Whites are vastly outnumbered in Walmington's African and Asian colonies, too, but they take their terribly patronising 'civilising mission' very seriously. After all, without the Church of Walmington, where will the coloured man get his tea and sponge cake?

Actually it was because I wanted to put some ethnic cleansing under my belt for once, and to do so with BC's entire race, not even bothering with national boundries.

Sorta an ironic moment... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durban_Review_Conference)

and Telvira, it would end up like a Dunkirk rather than Pusan, if you want to fight your way through.

Since I've been playing a shitload of Hearts of Iron 2, I'm pretty fresh with the 1940's. Vetalia, of course, would probably side with the fascist side, but our role would be far more similar to that of Japan in the sense that our primary interest would lie in expanding our territory and influence in our region rather than necessarily any commitment to the expansionism of our allies or the creation of a Greater Reich.

However, this RP would give some insight in to modern Vetalia's economic and cultural influence and provide a good background for the events surrounding the Vetalian Revolution.

I could parody current events by somehow meshing judaism and islam into a unified and bastardized NS religion. The difference isn't as utterly huge as some may think.

For example, neither worship Jebus, both hold a certain speck of otherwise useless land in high regard -even when they only occupied it during their respective times because the powers that be would rather let them live- and both are still awaiting armagedon while vying for a place amongst some afterlife-paradiseland even though the movie already debuted almost a decade ago -not our fault humans have an extremely bad habit of repeating their actions even after it becomes apparent it isn't working because someone told them to (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6GxIuljT3w)*.

I'll probably be playing as the massive sick man of the Dictaror powers(Might want to fix that BC) Probably lose huge chunks of the empire as well but thats fine with me. Anyway I'll get a factbook up soon. I just have to go do a project for school and then I'll go and do it. I'm wondering if I could have a huge yet unskilled and low moraled army.

Well, I suppose I may as well get involved in this, albeit as an 'innocent' bystander with pro-democratic leanings. I've been playing across from Walmy for ages, and I know most any RP he gets involved in will be a decent one.

The Gull Flag Republic is a sprawling state located in the north-west of the fictional continent of Tilsitia in the North Pacific. It is bordered by the Troobodia Sea to the south, the Republic of Noropia to the north, the Effitan Fatherland to the east, and the Rynian Empire to the south. It is also the primary state in the Iansislean Federation, a conglomerate of 'independent' states formerly part of the Grand Empire of the Shield. After the Revolution, most of these broke off, but later had their own revolutions (widely considered to have been instigated by the GFR's agents and enforced by its soldiers), after which they 'volunteered' to join the Federation.

The exception is the Republic of Gallaga. Sprawling across the Ganges river valley north of Ceyloba and into the Punjab, home to more than 300m people, Gallaga is nearly three times the size and population of the other republics in the Federation put together. Gallaga provides the counterbalance to the GFR: it is the most populous state in the Federation, the most democratic, and the most idealistic. However, the ideals of the Congress are tempered by the blatant irredentism of the conservative parties, who consider the failure to 'redeem' Klatchian Gallaga and Ceyloba an abject failure.

If the RoG is the most democratic state in the Federation, then the Gull Flag Republic is probably the least. After the Revolution, Charles Bradsworth's dream of a utopian republic began to vanish. The Royalists were banned from the National Assembly after the King tried to raise a coup against the government and the debate became unbalanced, with the moderate revolutionaries thrust into the role of 'conservative' by the radicals. Slowly, the radicals began to gain power in the light of an apocalyptic war with their Effitian neighbors. When radical Director of War Lawrence Madders attempted a coup against the Assembly, however, their plan derailed. Nicodemo Ranalte, the officer responsible for capturing the fugitive King James, was selected to lead the troops, but Ranalte banked on his immense popular acclaim and 'saved' the republic by arresting and hanging the radical ringleaders. However, he also demanded changes to the constitution instituting a powerful presidency to check the power of the Assembly. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ranalte himself was elected in the votes after the election -- running unopposed and with a victory margin officially reported as over 98%.

Today, Iansisle is at a tenuous peace with the Effitians and largely demobilized. Its population is weary of war after more than a decade of continuous strife and revolution. Despite strong historic ties to Walmington on Sea, the Ians seem hesitant to jump after the Walmies, due in part to the widely perceived lack of help during the Effitian contest (that the Walmies were tied up in America at the time and in the midst of an economic crisis doesn't enter into their thought). Instead, they focus on internal affairs -- such as if Graye Aeroflyer's much-hyped Project: Arabian will be able to steal the valuable crown of the Republic's primary interceptor from Brown-Oldroyd, who had captured it from Graye's Noriker with their Gelderlander after the spectacular failure of Project: Andalusian and are now working quietly on something codenamed the Holsteiner.

I'm wondering who holds 'Madagascar'.

One 'Madagascar' is in fact The Viceroyal Walmingtonian Dominion of Vazimbaland, and lies in the Gallagan Ocean, east-northeast of the Walmingtonian Cape Colonies. It is home to Walmington's atomic weapons research centre, très hush-hush. But since my Africa and BC's Africa didn't quite fit together (mostly because of Walmingtonian Togoland) there are at least two Africas in our field of regard. From my perspective, the Madagascar in BC's Africa is sort-of in the South Atlantic. Sort of.

So, ah, who are these Soviets you're referencing, and why does your proposed czar slightly like them? So far each of your posts in this thread has made my headache a little worse =/

That and I'm not entirely sure I thought everything through...

But for the sake of simplicity, logical inasanity known to cause brain hemorages created by the bourgassie in order to derrive the unpredictability I use to protect and control mah proleatariats.

But ultimately, since the insanity is logical, ultimate conclussions of any action I make can be accurately plotted in advance. It just hurts for the sake of hurting the brains of people who take nations too srsly.

Likewise, having a bunch of pissed-off and confused proles with guns taught to nevar question authority in the military are quite willing to kill anything that moves.

This makes me too dangerous to ignore, but to confusing to keep track of any lies I make, thus, everyone who resides in my RPs is forced to live in the 'now' and is never allowed to study any details of the past I don't want looked upon.

So far this has worked quite well, as the last invasion attempt ended with the offending parties attempting to swim back to their homelands in the nude.

I might just do that. Always kinda hoped that someone might do likewise for Walmington's warships, aircraft, and armour et cetera, but I suppose sometimes it's kinda a big ask. If we're to be long-term enemies, though, it'll be worth my while to familiarise my people with your technology.

I'd give yours ridiculous or insulting names, but the RWA already rides into battle aboard Baby Carriages, fights fierce air battles in Wrens and Wheatears, and patrols the oceans in such menacing vessels as the Quixotic and the Filibuster, so maybe I should stick to belittling myself =)

Anyway, general note: I'm off to the pub, now, and with any luck I shan't make it home until the middle of tomorrow, at which point I am likely to be in a state of near zombification, so apologies if it's more than a couple of hours before I post IC ;)

Haha nice man. Rest assured, your equipment will be given names too.

Almost forgot, Ian, you have any colonies on my Africa?

No. Iansisle is a primarily Pacific power. Our only remaining colony of any note is Sarawak, although the strongest military presence outside of Gallaga or the Republic is at Batam. The Republic of Gallaga still has a colonial economic relationship with Iansisle, although it is (nominally) independent.

(just a rough sketch of the RoG -- it stretches from the Khyber Pass in the west to the Irrawady in the east to Goa in the south. The administrative capital is Nusheld, a sprawling city of ~10 million in the mouths of the Ganges.)

I see...darn. Wolf, what about you?

Empire of Ralkovia

Razanka has been a world power since the 7th century and started in Israeli province of Kownta. Kownta was a foreign Israeli tribe that conquered its neighbors before ransacking the rest of the Arab peninsula while crushing the infant Islam religion in its cradle. Razanka soon took over a Ralkovian island of San Quinta and instead assimilated into Ralkovian culture much like how the romans copied the greeks. Razanka soon fell to the Empire of Ralkovia who adopted the religion of Judaism. With Razanka out of the picture Ralkovia began to expand its Empire. With a population of 70 million Ralkovia is a huge nation with a large army and navy.

The Death Guard are the Emperor's sovereign guard and are used to change the tides of battle. They are supposedly the best military unit in the world and are willing to do anything for the Emperor even commit to suicidal missions. They number about 3% of the actual military and are extremely loyal to the royal family scarring themselves for life with marks of the royal family.

While the Ralkovian army is large it is not very strong as many have been conscripted and serve only because they will be shot if they don't. The navy is Ralkovia's weakest and is only 60 ships strong. Ralkovia relies heavily on its growing air branch for day to day duties as well.

Yvellson Rifle(M2 PRIPYAT)

Used by some of the Ralkovian military it is not popular do to its jamming frequently. It is usually a standard weapon of the Ralkovian death guard if they are not using their automatic rifles.

Cartridge: 7.92x57mm Mauser
Action: Gas-operated
Muzzle velocity: 795 m/s
Effective range: 400 m
Feed system: 15-round detachable box magazine


GIZzard Submachine Gun
Standard of Ralkovian special infantry men. This submachine gun is usually used by paratroopers and by Special Commission Officers(Think comissars). They are also used heavily by the infantry who get them in close combat. The gun has several draw backs including being incredibly unwieldy, heavy recoil, extremely inaccurate, frequent jamming and short service life however it is cheap to produce.

Rate of fire: ~700 round/min
Muzzle velocity: ~410 m/s
Effective range: 40 - 100 m

Slittam Sub Machine gun

The sound of this weapon being shot is supposed to bring fear to the battlefield. The weapon has a sole user and that is the Death Guard Carvinsa(Stormtroopers). The deadly weapon has a single drawback. There are not enough of them. Extreme accuracy and a switch to change rate of fire make this weapon valuable enough to scavenge from battlefields.

Cartridge: 9x19mm Luger Parabellum
Action: Straight blowback, open bolt
Rate of fire: 500 rounds/min or 900 Rounds/min
Muzzle velocity: ~380 m/s or ~420 m/s

MORE TO COME LATER ON

Walmington, what do you think of this (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9893/1940.png)map?

Wolf, I launched the airbourne assault, this could revolutionize the future of warfare!!

Yah yah yah......let me get the 5 inch batterys in posistion.

Ill try and get an IC post up before I go to school, if not ill post one when I get back.

Also Its not Wolf Hold in this RP I'm using my 'old' nations name, Its The Empire of The Wolf

The Empire of The Wolf, got it, sorry

Okay, I made a start on the world from Walmington's perspective, but as yet it doesn't tackle all of the clashes and doesn't include everyone. I think we're going to have to assume a world that's constantly changing shape depending on which two nations are interacting at a given moment.

Obviously WoS is yellow, Exponent dark green, the Wolf colony purple. I sketched in a rough guess at Gallaga, and put Pyeki in blue based loosely on where Pyeki has been in past RPs, and not knowing whether Iansisle already had neighbours to Gallaga's immediate east (I know Chiang Mai was out there somewhere... presumably in Chiang Mai, but also expect that he's long gone). Iansisle's north Pacific continent is just represented by an oval, which is clearly entirely unrealistic, it's just a reminder that it's out there for reference's sake. I'm not sure, but I think that the Republic is in the west of said continent? I coloured Sarawak and Batam red to indicate their Iansislianness.

No Ralkovia or anyone else, yet, as I'm sure they'll notice.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Chivtv/NS1/wosworldish.jpg

So, obviously it's just a general reference to indicate where people are in relation to one another, and not an authoritative map, but, ah, what needs changing so far? Heh...

Ok, I fixed up my map to include Pyeki. I kinda wanna avoid using an RL map and all ya know? If anybody has any more suggestions, please help me out here.

Map (http://i44.tinypic.com/23r2t8z.jpg)

Walmington's version of Gallaga is much, much closer to my imagining of it. For one thing, most of the southern part of the subcontinent is under the control of Calarca (administered in that player's absence by the Klatch). I think I implied earlier that the Republic of Gallaga extended to Goa; that was a misrepresentation. The line is better understood as being roughly along the Godavari.

For a political history and maps of the continent of Tilsitia, see here: post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13531107&postcount=61). I know the final date says 1960, which is "present day" for Iansisle, but I'm time warping this a little for the purposes of the RP. (also assuming, for instance, that our Gelderlander is not a mach 2 jet interceptor with primitive heat-seeking missiles but rather a piston job similar in performance to Walmy's stuff)

Chiang Mai was Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam (after annexing Iansislean Galla-China, which consisted of southern Vietnam and Cambodia) as well as the eastern third or so of Burma (annexed from Gallaga). Obviously, however, he's not around any more and Pyeiki is, so I've no problem with carving up western CM to give to him. As for the western boundary of Gallaga, I've always assumed a north-west frontier relationship with Afghanistan and whatever Iran / Persia looks like in our universe consisting of constant low-key skirmishes. Probably increasing Iansislean investment in Persia, as well, as Dianatranian oil starts to run dry.

I forgot them in my accounting earlier, and I doubt it affects anything too seriously, but the Philippines and Palau are also Iansislean possessions.

Well, BC, if you want to avoid using a map with a basis in reality, basing yourself in Africa was a big mistake ;)

Anyway, yeah, Gallaga (incl. Ceyloba) resemble South Asia, Pyeki is based in South East Asia, Walmington is a North Atlantic nation, Iansisle's continent lies in the North Pacific, and both you and most of the Walmingtonian Empire are based in parts of Africa, so we're really stuck with a lot of RL aspects because we all use it as a reference point.

Still, I don't mind if 'my' Africa ceases to be attached to the Middle East if you'd prefer your Africa be (I'll have to cram mine in somewhere in an expanded Indian/Gallagan Ocean), or anything like that.

If I were to put more effort into the map, I'd make it appear that your Africa once fitted into the back of mine, and then South America into the back of yours, if you follow, so it'd make more sense.

I did have one thought, of going back to having just one Africa and me putting Walmingtonian Togoland somewhere else, perhaps on your southern border (as there's nothing to say that my Togoland has to be in the same place as RL Togo), but since you've now expanded across all North Africa I can't fit Saharaland in anymore, so I suppose that's out.

These are all good points. Damned cartography! I like what you said about the Africa's and South America all fitting together at one time, that is a cool idea. I don't wanna be attached to the ME either, I always thought of myself as on a sort of island continent, like Australia, ya know? Stupid maps, always complicating warfare nowadays. :)

Right, I'm off to a real-ale festival (£1 a pop, woo!) so if I post again today... ignore it =)

I figured I should inform you before I post, and see what you say. The CAG would have had ample enough time to refuel and have a patrol up by the time those Wheatears arrive, because as you said it is a five hour flight just to the carriers. This time would be added to the length of time between the attack on Port Mavis and the launch of the aircraft. Since the launch coincided with the formal declaration of war, I would estimate this time to be at least a day.

Still want to go ahead with the attack on my airbase? I have a post ready and waiting.

Yes sir, I posted the attack already. Yay more people to fight!

Over five hours for a ship doing thirty knots, less than one hour for aircraft moving at two hundred knots.

The carrier Typhon was one of those ships Iansisle's attaché saw leave port some time before the attack, and in the immediate aftermath of the raid the squadron was ordered to find and attack the responsible carriers. Using information from a neutral ship that had sighted your planes earlier and shadowing the departing planes with our observation aircraft (codename Milkfloat) enabled a pretty prompt response.

I suppose I should have clarified that the different sections of my posts aren't necessarily concurrent with one another as it isn't always practical. Some other posts were looking quite far ahead of where I was at, so I had to deal with that (such as Walmington's declaration twelve hours later) while still finshing up things in the earlier timeframe.

I don't really know how strong the attack of a single carrier wing against an entire fleet will be in any case =)

Ahhh, the events not all taking place together was where I was thrown off, very good. Thanks!

okay bc whats the most up to date map. I need a map that shows me what the current status is.

No territory has changed hands yet, but my attack on the St. Thomas colony was just stopped. I need Ralkovian troops to make an attempt at the West African province. The best map is probably Walmingtons, here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Chivtv/NS1/wosworldish.jpg).

(What color am I?)

Ya gotta fill it in yourself

found another map
THIS IS RALKOVIA'

very good

I'm sorry to drop in on this so late, but I don't suppose there's any room for another player in this RP? It looks fairly interesting.

Well, of course I'm in favour of having you along, mate.

What would you be RPing, exactly?

Indeed, sorry for the brevity of that last post.

If it is alright with everyone else, I'll probably play as a Walmingtonian ally, a republic probably sited, for the sake of convenience, in an area corresponding to Argentina in real life, provided I'm not stepping on anyone's toes, along with a tiny colonial holding on Timor Island.

I'll try and post some military information soon, but I won't be all that strong. My navy at least will likely be based around three Strasbourg-alike 'pocket battleships,' a single fleet carrier and maybe two light carriers, backed by a solid range of cruisers and escorts, and a fairly large and varied fleet of submarines.

If this doesn't work for anyone, I'll gladly take-up another role, or stay out entirely if need be.
