Calm in manner, firm in deed

Overview-

Discovered and settled by British explorers in the late C15th, the north Atlantic nation of Walmington on Sea consists of one main island with two smaller islands in the south. One of these, tiny Newry, maintains a Catholic majority while the other two islands are traditionally Protestant, following the Anglican Church of Walmington. A pauper state until the early C19th Walmington has remained a loyal ally to its parent nation, risking much against English enemies such as Spain and France.

For near two hundred years Walmington on Sea has been an increasingly wealthy imperial power in its own right, with colonies across Africa and as far away as south Asia.

International Issues

Disputes: Great Walmington has never recognised American or Irish independence from British rule; Uprisings by native populations in Ceyloba, and to a lesser degree Waynesia, Vazimbaland, and the Cape Colonies are periodic problems for Great Walmington. Of late the large white minorities in Waynesia and the Cape Colonies have begun to agitate for self-rule.

Illicit drugs: Whig-governed Walmington on Sea enforces surprisingly liberal drugs-laws, though this is motivated in equal measure by the profitability of the opium trade and a widespread refusal to accept the negative findings of what few independent medical studies have tackled related issues. As a result of all this the nation is a major gateway for opium, heroin, and cannabis from and via the empire bound for North America, as well as a legal consumer of the same drugs. The fact that representatives of the US government, be they military or of civilian agency, are usually treated as pirates when in Walmingtonian waters does little to stem the westward flow.

Total RWA strength
400,000 (discounting RWEC-DEW)

RWA Organisation/Structure-

Foot Platoon
20 men
Usual armament configuration- fifteen FMIR rifles (one or two riflemen usually are placed with each platoon expressly due to their being expert snipers, though a specialised rifle does not presently exist in Walmingtonian service), three Machine Carbine Wosten, two Machine-Gun Land MkII*. Also three pistols (usually Wayne MkIII), five “Leech Bomb” anti-tank grenades, fifteen Mills grenades, one MkII Radio Transmit/Receive station, two Webley zinc flare pistol.

Rifle Company
100 men
Five Platoons. Additional (combined) armament when operating at Company strength typically includes light mortars, anti-tank rifles, and heavy machineguns

Infantry Battalion
700 men
Seven Companies.
Towed twin 1" cannon are often added at this level, though in some cases they also exist in company-sized units. These weapons are for both anti-aircraft defence and for use against ground targets.

King’s Rifle Regiment
2,100 men
Three Battalions.
2" AA guns frequently transported with Regiments in the field. Mechanisation significantly increases at this level. Due to a relative shortage of officers, Rifle Regiments are often commanded by Sgt.Majors, where in peacetime Colonels would have been expected.

Infantry Division
10,500 men (five Rifles)

Tank Platoon
Typically eight CCMkIII Lancer, six MTMkII Terrapin, two MTMkIII Tortoise, and four CCMkII variants (CSH/AAS) plus usually two Spotter Gun Car and up to four STMkI “Baby Carriage”.

Cavalry Battalion
Four Tank Platoons. Royal Tortoise tanks exist in most cavalry battalions, though they will be only one to four strong.

Mounted Infantry Division
A Rifle Regiment with a higher concentration of trucks than is usual, plus an Artillery Regiment and two attached Cavalry Battalions. Consideration is being given to attaching aircraft directly to Mounted Infantry Divisions as often happened in effect during the First Anti Fascist War

Artillery Company
Typically a battery of four 5" and twelve 3” and 4”towed guns, and two 3” howitzers.

Artillery Regiment
Four Artillery Companies plus variable additional pieces (usually light howitzers and anti-tank guns). CCMkIICSH Hardy armoured vehicles are also frequently attached.

NB. These compositions are typical, but by no means concrete.

RWA Infantry Arms and Equipment

Side Arms

1/3" Constable-Wayne MkIII Pistol
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms, Wayne Heavy Industries
Operation: Double-action revolver
Calibre: .33-.75" Walmingtonian (8.4x19mm)
Magazine: Six-shot cylinder
Barrel Length: 5"
Additional Information: Top-break configuration. Similar to British Webley/Enfield service revolvers though more slender.

1/3" Constable MkIII No1 'Special' Pistol
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms
Operation: Double-action revolver
Calibre: .33-.75" Walmingtonian (8.4x19mm)
Magazine: Six-shot cylinder
Barrel Length: 5"
Service Notes: Issued widely to vehicle crews and also favoured by some commandos, but gradually losing ground to Custodian (next entry)
Additional Information: Top-break configuration. Identical to above entry but with hammer spur removed, disabling single-action firing.

1/3" Custodian Automatic Pistol MkI*
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms
Operation: Short recoil
Calibre: .33-.75" Walmingtonian (8.4x19mm)
Magazine: Eight-shot detachable box
Barrel Length: 5"
Service Notes: The first automatic pistol to enter Walmingtonian service, it faces some resistance from officers who worry about dependability
Additional Information: A fairly large pistol, especially in small Walmingtonian hands, but said to be pleasant to shoot

Long Arms

1/3" Wosten Machine Carbine
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms
Calibre: .33-.75" Walmingtonian (8.4x19mm)
Magazine: 28-shot side-mounted detachable box
Barrel Length: 7.5"
Rate of Fire: 550rpm
Additional Information: Based upon the British Sten in a manner similar to that of the Australian Austen
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Chivtv/NS1/wosten.jpg

1/4" Free Magazine Infantry Rifle
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms
Operation: Bolt action
Calibre: .25-2" Walmingtonian (6.35x51mm)
Magazine: Ten-shot detachable box
Barrel Length: 27"
Additional Information: Controversial for the introduction of a new, small cartridge with unproven stopping power, still an accurate and reliable weapon of familiar layout and reduced weight
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v148/Chivtv/NS1/fmir.jpg

Heavy/Crew-Served Weapons

1/2" Rifle, Anti-Tank
Manufacturer: Sykes-Durban Defence of the Walmingtonian Colonies
Calibre: .5-4" Walmingtonian (12.7x102mm)
Magazine: None; single shot
Barrel Length: 44.5"
Muzzle Velocity: 4,700fps
Armour Penetration: 35mm at 300 yards against 0 degrees; 25mm at 100 yards against 60 degrees
Service Notes: Not widely used by RWA at home, but often on hand in colonies and sometimes mounted on vehicles such as the Baby Carriage. It is kept in service thanks to a Walmingtonian aversion to rocketry that is most strongly felt in the Army's upper echelons.
Additional Information: Barrel is free to recoil in the stock in order to reduce recoil impulse against the shooter, and the butt is padded to further improve comfort. The Rat, as it is called by troops, is an unusual weapon having a coned-bore based on the Gerlich principle, using a special .5" round of tungsten core surrounded by soft lead jacket and cupro-nickel envelope with a raised band around it. Though the breech calibre is some 12.7mm, the emergent calibre is 10mm, and the deforming squeeze action of the bore is what causes the increased muzzle velocity and affords armour penetration half again what one might otherwise expect.

1/4" Machine-Gun, Land MkII*
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms
Calibre: .25-2" Walmingtonian (6.35x51mm)
Magazine: One-hundred-shot belt
Barrel Length: 23"
Rate of Fire: 650rpm
Additional Information: Based on the Bren Light Machine-Gun the MGL-MkII* is essentially a belt-fed, re-chambered version with higher rate-of-fire, smaller dimensions, and lower weight according with the reduced cartridge size.

1/2" Machine-Gun, Heavy MkI**
Manufacturer: Chassire Arms
Calibre: .5-4" Walmingtonian (12.7x102mm)
Magazine: Fifty-shot fabric belt
Barrel Length: 50.5"
Rate of Fire: 500rpm
Service Notes: Used in static defences, mounted on Land Cruisers, and fitted to some tanks. The second-level anti-aircraft gun of Royal Walmingtonian Army, Navy, and Air Force, where it may appear in dual-mountings. Also arms several old fighter and bomber aircraft in the RWAF.
Additional Information: Another reliable weapon, this is sometimes regarded as a little bit un-Walmingtonian because of its arguably excessive size and power

Other Weapons

Infantry Tank-Grenade MkI "Leech Bomb"
The ITG MkI is a 2 1/2lb explosive device, thrown with help from a bakelite handle, and coated in adhesive which enables it to stick to an armoured vehicle when placed or thrown

No. 36 Mark W Mills Grenade
Manufacturer: Sanders and Sons
Type: Defensive, fragmentary
Delay Fuze: Four seconds
Weight: One pound eleven ounces
Service Notes: Standard issue hand grenade in RWA
Additional Information: Licence-built version of British weapon

Norbray Pattern Combat Knife
Rarely used outside the Special Operations Wing this is said to owe something to blades native to Norbray County, where they were perportedly used to kill red bears and as well traditionally to settle the most grave of personal conflicts.

14" Chassire Arms Bayonet
Fixable to all Walmingtonian long arms including the FMIR and Wosten. The Old Cold [Steel] is the traditional weapon of the Walmingtonian army in spite of the fact that almost every engagement ever joined by Walmingtonian forces has been fought against physically larger and stronger adversaries.

Other Equipment

MkII Radio Transmit/Receive Station
An unusual good piece of communications equipment born of a long Walmingtonian tradition of tinkering with radios at the expense of such frivolities as television

Webley Zinc Flare Pistol
Around 1" bore. One of few none-native items of Royal Walmingtonian Military Forces inventory

Utility Vehicles

Velocipede, Motor, MkII
Manufacturer: Stockley Motors
Maximum Speed: 45mph
Service Notes: Quite widely issued to signals corps, engineers, and other units
Additional Information: Walmingtonians sometimes dislike doing things by halves, but will consider lower extremes no less readily than upper extremes: two wheels are considered the civilised minimum, while the maximum is represented as however many wheels one can cram under a nice steam train. At home, peddle cycles are more popular than motor cars, but in the field they proved to be impractical and often more trouble than they were worth, and so a motorised replacement had to be found. The VM-II is unremarkable but rugged and reliable.

Land Rover, Stockley, MkI
Manufacturer: Stockley Motors
Service Notes: Many thousands are active with the RWA and with SOW, operating as scout cars, aggressive patrol vehicles, command vehicles, light equipment and artillery tractors, ambulances, and in various other roles
Additional Information: Broadly smiliar to British vehicles, these are called land rover in a purely descriptive manner and not because they are actually Land Rover vehicles

Lorry, Motor, Light MkIII "Christopher"
Manufacturer: Wychwood Automation
Configuration: 4x4
Weight: 3tons
Engine: 75hp petrol
Range: 200miles
Service Notes: Standard light haulage of supplies, spares, equipment, and troops is usually undertaken by this model's thousands of chassis, and it has also been converted for ambulance, light recovery, and several other roles. Many thousand serve across the Royal Walmingtonian Empire
Additional Information: Though prone to minor breakdowns and general falling-apart, these Wychwood trucks have a reputation for always managing to re-start and for sticking around for years of heavy use, even if the trimmings may fall away.

Lorry, Motor, Medium MkII "Lion"
Manufacturer: Stockley Motors
Configuration: 6x6
Weight: 5tons
Service Notes: Widely used by all major military branches and especially popular in the RWA. Tankers, tractors, recovery units, and other versions exist in large quantities.
Additional Information: Said to have unusually good off-road abilities. Rated as the best truck in Walmingtonian service thanks to compact power and generally robust nature

Lorry, Motor, Heavy MkI "Gulf Stream"
Manufacturer: Wychwood Automation
Configuration: 6x4
Weight: 10tons
Service Notes: Serves RWA, RWN, and RWAF in many version including tankers, medium/heavy recovery, field command, equipment transport, supplies transport, troop transport, artillery tractor, crane, and more
Additional Information: Proved itself in the Desert War and the following Operation Minos, and became known as the tea-trolley that fed the anti-fascist armies.

Lorry, Motor, Tank Transporter MkI
Manufacturer: Wychwood Automation
Configuration: 6x4
Weight: 53tons
Service Notes: The only specifically designed tank transporter in the RWA, responsible for new heavier tanks while modified medium and heavy trucks sometimes carry lighter armour

Armour

Spotter Gun Car Mk III Peregrine
Crew: 2/3
Engine: 90hp petrol
Combat Weight: 6,784kg

Cavalry Cruiser Mk III "Lancer"
Crew: 4
Engine: 345hp
Combat Weight: 19tons
Top Speed: 32mph
Range: 92miles
Height: 2.25m
Width: 2.7m
Length: 5.85m
Armour: 9-48mm steel
Armament: 1x 2" (51mm) anti-tank gun, 1x.25" co-axial machine-gun, often 1x.25" anti-aircraft machine-gun
Service Notes: The most common Walmingtonian tank
Additional Information: In the late stages of the Desert War, some crews removed regulator caps and pushed their Lancers well beyond the design speed (at the risk of breakdown) in order to run rings around lumbering fascist armour. A fairly elegant-looking war machine, the last of the cruisers is regarded as a greyhound next to the tank army's working-dog marching tanks. Popular with an army that was loath to give-up its cavalry and seen as a way to hang on to some of the associated traditions, Lancer tank-commanders being the RWA's new generation of dashing cavalry officers

Range: 174.5 miles
Height: 2.7m
Width: 3.4m
Length: 7.2m
Armour: 28mm to 157mm steel
Armament: 3" (76mm) anti-tank gun, 3x.25" machine-guns (1x co-axial, 1x bow mounted, 1x anti-aircraft)
Service Notes: Fights in fairly large numbers for units closely associated with infanty formations
Additional Information: Used primarily to support infantry breakthroughs while Cavalry Cruisers have free reign to partake in anti-tank warfare. The Royal Tortoise is seen as a slightly awkward compromise after wartime experience created the requirement for a tank with a 3" anti-armour weapon and the then howitzer-armed MT-MkIII's was the only turret-ring able to accept it: the infantry-support tank's duty is now, some say, dangerously confused.
