War has been declared, and battle is to be joined. Strategic Alliance versus Strategic Defense League.

Here is the place to post:

You don't have to be directly involved in the war to post in here, either. Y'all can state your aims, wants, desires, dislikes and such relating to any posts in this war, and any major OOC notes that you need to write can go in here so as not to clutter the RP thread(s) too much.

I'd also suggest that anyone who opens up a new front/theater somewhere creates a new thread for it, but other than that.... let's go

And, of course, do remember that if anything needs modifying, yours truly has the power to do it long after your own edit ability has ceased.

A question, if I may, on the size of militaries. We are going based on percentages of population, like what you mentioned in the War RP thread right? If so then I'll have some calculating to do.

Posted by: Starblaydia Oct 4 2006, 03:46 PM

Indeed. Being a horrible dictatorship I'm placing mine at about 1.6% of population, 80-something million peeps all in all.

Some information in that Wiki will be inaccurate, i.e. my military size, which now sits at around 61 million total. I do have nukes and Godrods, though if we are not going to use them, I will obviously not use them. And, of course, my primary motive is still peace. After that, it's beating the shat out of both the SDL and SAAS for disturbing the peace.

Alright, well since the majority of my nations spending is on Commerce and Defense, we obviously have a pretty good sized military. I'd say around 5% of our population are in some branch of the military and are well equipped. That would put my overall armed forces around 350 million.

As far as a map goes, I don't have the time or resources to work into that since I have two exams and a paper to write this week. However, I will play as active as a role in this as I can, and Star, feel free to AIM me if you see me on, even if I'm away to remind me.

The Capitalizt Defense Alliance (CDA), though it is somewhat rich and has advanced technology, only has around 800 000 soldiers on Earth (0.028% of UCS population on Earth). It is likely to get involved in the war somehow, even if an invasion of Spruitland is at the limit of its abilities.

The Capitalizt Coalition for Coöperation in Protection (CCCP), while having less fancy gadgets, has more troops, around 1.5 million (0.052%). It will only get involved if the UCS is invaded.

Posted by: Quakmybush Oct 4 2006, 06:05 PM

Trained Soldiers - 1,479,000
Conscripted Soldiers (good) - 11,470,467
Conscripted Soldiers (okay) - 11,470,467
Conscripted Soldiers (bad) - 11,470,466

good means they can go right to battle, okay means 2 weeks of training, and bad means 1 month of training.

Posted by: Az-cz Oct 4 2006, 06:15 PM

The Az-cz military has 0 people in it. However we are a country of theives. Every last person born in Az-cz whether gnome, human or otherwise can sneak into your house and kill you, so don't assume we are unable to defend ourselves.

As to what we want in character, we will be more than willing to take part in diplomatic things, refugee things, and generally any of the non-combat stuff. However Az-cz is very neutral and I really don't want to get invaded.

Posted by: Footballia Oct 4 2006, 06:29 PM

1.8% of 3.062 billion comes to 55 million total, 17 million army field personnel, 10,000 (a little high, I guess, but it doesn't matter) seamen, manning roughly 95-100 100-110 man cutters in Lake Bekk. About 4 million pilots (I'm starting to think that's waaaaaaay too high, can anybody chip in on that?), and spending just over 11 trillion on defense.

Chacor will try its best to stay uninvolved, given the current internal political upheaval within the country. Of course, should you choose to attack, I'd be more than willing to send forces from LE in to help their former colony.

Chacor will play a "Switzerland" as far as possible, here, please.

Posted by: Myrtannia Oct 4 2006, 11:23 PM

As stated many times already, the United Isles of Myrtannia is very likely to remain neutral for this war. I don't particularly care for military/war RPs so much, as 1) Myrtannia's military is a Defense Force, intended only for self-defense and use against immediate threats to UIM national security and 2) I'm bad at it. Pretty bad. Plus, I'm not all that partial to it period. Anyway, for the sake of interest, here are the United Isles' military numbers, just for the sake of... whatever. This is based on the idea that 0.8% of the population serves in the regular, active-duty military. Reservists/National Guard-style troops are not included.

Total Active-Duty Troops: 11, 168,000 approximately.
Myrtannia Defense Force (MDF; ground forces): 5,000,000
Myrtannian Air Force (MAF): 1,000,000
United Isles Navy (UIN): 4,000,000
United Isles Commandoes (UICs; Special Forces): 1,168,000

About 4 million pilots (I'm starting to think that's waaaaaaay too high, can anybody chip in on that?)

I had trouble with my air force figures as well, so i just kept turning down the figures of %age of military in the airforce and then the logistics percentage of the air force itself, and i still ended up with many thousands of planes and 900,000 pilots - which is still massive, and hugely hugely expensive.

Posted by: Footballia Oct 5 2006, 06:08 AM

In that case, note to self to lower even farther mine, which currently rests at just under 10% of the military and about 870000 pilots. Still don't know what planes I have, so I don't know how many either.

Posted by: Khazaron Oct 5 2006, 11:39 AM

I've done some calculating, and it looks like Khazaron's armed forces will have a little over 44 million people in it. That's before dividing it up between the military, navy and air force. Not to mention their's still the matter of distributing the budget of 8.799 trillion.

Anyway, just so things don't get crazy with my military numbers or budget: Any of the veterans out there want to give me a hint as to at what point should I consider the numbers of a particular branch to be excessive? I realize we're dealing with some massive numbers already, but taking that into account, what would be a reasonable number and what would be not be.

To give you and idea of what Khazaron's breakdown is: We place the highest priority on special forces (and unofficially above that is the elite Crimson Guard), then the military, then the navy as a close third, and dead last is the air force. Hope these ramblings make sense and thanks for any help youc an give.

Posted by: Starblaydia Oct 5 2006, 11:54 AM

Placing your emphasis on Special Forces is one thing, but you can't make super-soliders out of couch potatoes. The reason why the S.A.S. are so elite isn't just because of the extra-cool training and equipment they get, it's because the entry requirements are so high insofar as physical toughness, mental agility, weapon accuracy and such that the pass rate for the entry test is less than 10%.

Which leads to a simple and therefore widely inaccurate progress that you won't ever get more than 10% of your forces in Spec Ops unless your entry requirements are "ok, you can walk, you're in!". But bear in mind it's 10% of people who actually try to enter, which won't be everyone.

If you have a larger percentage of your mlitary in Special Forces, they're likely to be not as elite, well-equipped and trained as other nations.

Starblaydia's figure of 10% also takes into account people such as parts of the Inquisition and Lord-Protectors protection detail, and the logistical arm takes up 90% of the Spec Ops total, so even with 8 million people in it, only 800,000 Special Forces soliders are actually wandering around, compared to 22 Million regulars.

*deep breath*

For a second idea, think of it objectively once you arrive at some figures. If your main rival and opponent came out with the numbers you've ended up with, would you cry "holy -explicitive removed- that's unfair!" at them?

Posted by: Khazaron Oct 5 2006, 12:19 PM

I should have clarified. What I meant to say is that the highest priority for training and funding is on the special forces, not numbers but the ammount of resources they get.

I agree that having a lot makes them less "special". It's why the Crimson Guard has only about 1,000 or so at any given time. The main reason is because they are meant to be the most fanaticaly (think Fremen/Saudakar from Dune or Space Marines from Warhammer 40K) and the most highly trained.

Posted by: Starblaydia Oct 5 2006, 12:26 PM

In that case, there's not really a limit... just a question of balance. Divide your budget up as you see fit. spending 30 million dollars per Crimson Guard may give you fanatical ubermensch, but makes the ordinary Khazaron solider very... ordinary.

Posted by: Bedistan Oct 5 2006, 01:28 PM

Bedistan is extremely unlikely to be involved in this war at all, given our "0%" defense budget (I consider it to be 0.5%, given that the XML feed only gives integer percentages) and my out-and-out complete lack of war RP ability. But here's a http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gth681k/ns/BedistanAOMap.png anyway.

Okay, much better now, have better stats, more detail. Lacking in detail for planes, APCs/IFVs and coastal defense ships, and maybe I'll throw in a few more types of stuff later. And the numbers look funny (i.e., not multiples of 5 and 10) because I just divided stuff. I don't think you'll ever see most of these numbers again though. And the numbers of units are weird because it works off powers of 2 (256 men in a company, for example).

Total Manpower: 58,900,000 (4.43% of population) This number includes citizens serving in the military due to the long estabished Mandatory Service Conscription Act as well as the longer-term more 'professional' soldiers.

Crimson Army: 51,000,000 (87% of forces)

Crimson Air Force: 5,000,003 (8% of forces)

Crimson Navy (on Lake Bekk): 200,007 (.3% of forces)

Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but Yishrael is Myrtannia's puppet, yes? If that is so, one player can't contribute two nation's worth of 'stuff' to a war, as that's patently unfair. Whether it's men, weaopons, money or whatever, you have one player contributing twice as much as any other.

Hence the reason why Nova Britannicus isn't contributing to Starblaydia's war effort, despite being completely under the Starblaydi thumb.

I can see the IC reasons all round for Myrtannia and Yishrael being involved, but please pick one or the other to fight this war with.

Posted by: Yihsrael Oct 9 2006, 01:30 PM

Don't worry, Yihsrael will be occupied fully at home, and will be unable to render support to the SDL. Other than moral support. Only Myrtannia will actually be participating.

Posted by: Starblaydia Oct 9 2006, 01:37 PM

So the "fiscal and at least a little manpower" offer is ultimately a futile one? Cool.

Posted by: Yihsrael Oct 9 2006, 01:45 PM

More or less. Just a diplomatic gesture. Hard to make such a commitment when you have to deal with terrorists at home that require the full attention of your military.

Posted by: Abattoir Oct 9 2006, 05:20 PM

In order to make the SAAS war effort more efficient, I'm going to temporarily place all Abattoirian military under Starblaydia control for the time being. I'm pretty much swamped with classes ATM and I'm willing to let you do what you wish until I can get a little bit of free time. If you need to make any correspondence with me, your best bet is to email me at dbs5693@uncw.edu.

Posted by: Bedistan Oct 10 2006, 02:44 PM

Just for sh!ts and giggles to see how ineffective I would be if I were involved, I decided to work on my own military factsheet. I've used all the previous factsheets in this thread as rough guides on the numbers (tweaked a bit so that I don't have something ridiculous like 160,000 men on a ship thanks to my slani budget), and I've blatantly stolen the format from Krytenia above.

* The XML feed and any calculator that uses it will display a value of $0 here, but I discard that as patently unrealistic and substitute a value of 0.5% of the annual budget.

Spruitland isn't likely to be playing a part in this war, at least not battle-wise (I might sneak in a random silly RP once in a while). No real numbers to share either, heh.

But, since part of the war seems to be taking place in my close proximity, here's a link to my map.

Like I said, my participation will be limited, but if you feel the need to send an almost-sunken vessel into one of my ports in an emergency, or something along those lines, then I don't have a problem with that.

Posted by: Chacor Oct 13 2006, 12:16 AM

Okay, here's where Chacor stands at this point in time.

Internal political crisis: Thomas Douglas has just resigned as PM. James Martin-Gibson is PM effective immediately.

Militarily: Neutral. No military force will be contributed by Chacor anywhere.

Official stand: Neutral. No blood should be shed if possible. Willing to evacuate all civilians from any country affected.

Secretly: Slight positive bias towards Starblaydia on a hope of Gibson's to strengthen relationships with Starblaydia. Logistics help is the key thing Chacor is willing to provide.

No numbers for military as no matter what, we won't be committing forces. Of course, if someone chooses to attack us, that's a different story.

*As these are primarily used as ferries between Earth and Sirius D, and provide a significant percentage of the CDA’s income, it is unlikely that they will be used in combat.

Future tech notes
Although the equipment used by the CDA is more advanced than modern technology (after all, they have to do something with their $3M/person budget), the only technology that can give the CDA a significant advantage is teleportation.
Teleportation is quite expensive, and sufficient power is only available in the Unified Capitalizt States. General Mendoza, a few other top CDA officials, the four special forces operatives, and some other rich people irrelevant to the war have portable teleporters that contain a battery that can hold enough power for a single round trip to anywhere in AO. A person or object must be at the location of the teleporter in order to be beamed somewhere (so troops fighting outside of the UCS can’t be teleported to safety).

TLC has said he has this happenning in a little 'time pocket' of its own, not associated with the WC.

Unless - and this is a big unless - we can come up with something that 15 World Cup qualifiers and 1 invaded WC host can agree on of a way to host a world cup while having up to a third of the nation under the disputed and war-time control of another nation (who, by a twist of fate, could even be playing in that nation), we'll just have to have WC31 and this war ignore each other.

Okay, I suppose (after reading that people were thinking of declaring war on the SAAS in its entirety) that it is time for me to get involved.

Being a dictatorship myself, I'll set my percentage of armed forces at 1.5%.

Population 7,200,000,000 * 0.015 = 108,000,000 troops.

My defense budget is at 53.84 trillion, or 26% of my total budget.

Now, I suppose I need to begin discussions with my allies as to how this will help us in our current situation.

Posted by: Myrtannia Oct 22 2006, 01:41 PM

With a couple more SAAS nations getting involved in the war, I'd like to reiterate Myrtannia's stance of military neutrality. I'm lending financial/medical support to the SDL, but that's all. In other words, I won't attack the SAAS, and I expect that in return the SAAS won't attack me. Consider me to be like Germany or Japan during the first Gulf War - supporting the cause without throwing in troops.

Posted by: Abattoir Oct 22 2006, 08:32 PM

Alright, I've got a little break from being so busy so I'll throw my hat into the ring now.

I've got a population of around 7.3 billion with a huge defense budget...and being a nation with a history of wars and being under the controll of a shrewd dictator I'm going to say that 1.6% of my nation is in some branch of armed forces.

That puts my total somewhere around 117 million well trained and equipped people. As far as the whole fighting thing goes...I would like to discuss what exactly we need to do with our allies in the SAAS.

With TLC caught on two front he's likely to get his arse kicked, and strategic air attack like what the Falcanians do best would even the score somewhat on that front.

What I'm looking for from Ab is to occupy TLC and own/pwn/whatever the Vilitan cove so the SDL can't run around free in there.

Alright yeah its late, but I'd like to be semi- involved in this if possible. Consider us pro-diplomacy, open borders to any and all civilian refugees, not a part of any alliance, and having a purely defensive military (mainly navy, cause we're an island not yet on the map).

Hope that's okay, thanks.

Ok, since the mail isn't working, this is the mail that I was attempting to send to Star.

Since LC seems to be lax in posting lately, I was wondering how you think we should go about doing that little bit in my recent post about intel on your positions? My idea was, since I am unable to directly face your armored forces and the like, I was going to have my special forces attempt to infiltrate key positions and blow them up with charges. At the very least the idea would be to cause some general chaos behind enemy lines.

Posted by: Starblaydia Jul 11 2007, 09:42 AM

Depends what you're after to blow up. This far south (I figure about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way south into TLC) leaves the Starblaydi lines very stretched - there's miles and miles of coastline to the east that needs defending, never mind a battle front that stretches across the entire width of TLC itself - there's many a gap to send a low-level helicopter or two through.

Satellite sweeps are fairly regular for pretty much every nation, I would assume, and there's only so much you can hide with movement and camouflage.

You can go after air fields, command posts, artillery points, supply routes, the southern-most oil fields. Hell, attack what you like, Ahh, a good laugh., just make it reasonable. The juicier the target, the more well-defended it would be, especially now that Starblaydi forces are being pushed back from Graham City itself - preparing for the counter-offensive.

Supply routes would probably be the most likely target for my special ops guys. The basic idea is to try and bleed the enemy since an direct and open confrontation would be unpleasant for me.

You're pussies, so you stab us when we're not looking. Gotcha.

Posted by: Khazaron Jul 11 2007, 02:58 PM

It's not cowardice Star, it's a desire to not have a bloodbath on my hands.

This is the best way for me to fight for the time being.

Let's think of an airstrike target. I wanna bomb summat.

Hello in here? Anyone?

You got me laughing on that one!, well long time no see everyone, I hope you're all having pleasant lives and this won't be too much of an interruption. I have been so distracted by real life that I forgot this place existed, and since I have no remembered, I would like the opportunity to finish this fight. So to this aim I'm planning a three-part epic RP about the Battle for Graham City to re-open Operation Galatica, along with restarting my own personal RP about the leader of the New Anarchist Order and the Agent, and the lives built and destroyed by Operation Galactica. So, if you would like any characters to take part in this RP, just telegram, email, AIM or MSN me, and I'll add them into the storyline.

Hopefully this will go well, and there will be no undue interruptions again

Excellent!

Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 1 2007, 08:59 AM

Khaz go ahead with your supply line thing - around that bridge, or not - whenever you're ready.

Lamoni you can either jump in on that one or go for something else like an actual troop deployment, or wait for TLC to figure out what he's shooting at and join in on that action.

TLC post... something!

Posted by: Lamoni Aug 2 2007, 02:13 AM

I think that it would be best for me to wait and see what TLC is going to shoot at first; and THEN strike.

Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 2 2007, 07:10 AM

I've updated the wiki page for http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Operation_Galactica

Erm, falc? I know you're in the skies, somewhere - but where the hell are you above?

Posted by: Falcania Aug 2 2007, 05:41 PM

TLC, steaming towards the capital.

Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 6 2007, 08:03 AM

kk, I'll take some out soon enough

For those bothering to read it I'll be here 'cos you're all that I got is happening pretty much concurrently with the war atm, the two threads should intertwine later - not to give the game away too much, of course.

Posted by: Lamoni Aug 7 2007, 03:46 AM

Unless TLC posts tommorow i'll probably have my guys take out the bridges the Blaydi's are using for supply lines.

Want me to leave any of them standing, Star?

Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 7 2007, 03:50 AM

Let one get away, or get on his radio or something. Just don't make it too easy, and try and write more than a paragraph, please?

Posted by: Lamoni Aug 8 2007, 03:33 AM

Let's see... between the logistics, the multiple raids involved on the bridges, and the withdrawl, that should easily exceed one paragraph.

Letting one get away should be easy enough.

Posted by: Lamoni Aug 8 2007, 04:09 AM

I left my attack open for Star to respond if he wants to. If not, let me know.

Posted by: Hockey Canada Aug 26 2007, 07:07 PM

So this thing's almost dead now, right?

Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 27 2007, 03:37 AM

Well TLC came back with a bang and I assumed he was going to post more than he had. So it's down to me again to re-kick this into action.

Y'all can knock me all the way back to Starblaydia, now

Or not... If no-one really wants to post in the thread, then I can write it all myself as a story, really, just as long as I can utilise the various forces attacking me.

I thought you were gonna be all "nah nah nah I'm gonna kill you Falcania" to me.

Up in the skies, however, a greater threat was looming as the Falcanian air force floated effortlessly towards the cities that Starblaydia surrounded. The threat, however, was not from their massive aircraft carriers, or the sub-carriers that held the Falcanian planes themselves. The threat was against them, and was even higher up than their ships. The threat was from the Damocles orbital artillery station, and Viannor was resorting to her greatest weapon. The bird-freaks wouldn't know what hit them, and even as the largest Starblaydi air armada ever assembled formed groups and headed for the Falcanian's location, Damocles was being warmed up.

The largest air armada Starblaydi have ever assembled + Godrods isn't a big enough threat?

Posted by: Starblaydia Sep 19 2007, 02:20 PM

OK, if no-one else is going to post, I'll write the rest of it myself. Thanking you.

Posted by: Starblaydia Oct 7 2007, 04:01 AM

Falc, I'm assuming that the Feather isn't going to just fly randomly towards my capital, so presuming that some communication has taken place to make sure we don't try and shoot you out of the sky.
