Daybreak (AWRP) [OOC/Signups]

[Sentinel XV]

Garwall, 3 simultaneous first strikes of that magnitude seems.. taxing, to say the least, on your military and industry.

The theory is that in the end, it would conserve more military and industrial output by neutralizing all possible threats, and the advantage of surprise will make up for any lack of manpower, equipment, or vehicles/air power that may result of such mass deployment of the Armed Forces. It's more of an all-or-nothing kind of thing, France's version of the Schlieffen Plan.

I also hope that nobody takes advantage of this opportunity to metagame, for example Germany decides to randomly build a massive fortification system on its border to Italy and Denmark.

That's actually a great name for something like that, metagaming. I really hate it when people do that. It's practically cheating.

That's because it is cheating, for all that it counts for.

I'm hoping to make Vasily a reoccurring character, if only for hilariously racist commentary that doesn't entirely make sense.

Perhaps I could make a Russia civilian character who actually does steal Vasily's bride.

That would be awesome.

That would be awesome.

And thus begins the Russia-Kamchatka "Bride War".

Heh, yeah...

[Garwall]

So after looking at my weapons, it appears that I'm relatively screwed as far as tank-to-tank battles until I can start fielding M47 Pattons.

[Valkstadt]

All right the fuss has ended. We have sorted out our differences, mainly because I like their camel cavalry, but we will not break up the alliance. To all those I sent an alliance invitiation to, take it as an alliance with Italy, not an alliance where everyone is interconected.

So basically, this has all been an attempt by you to get to be the leader of the alliance. Mhm. No, I don't really think so.

It was an attempt to unite European nations that are scared of Ottoman expansion as well as a power struggle. I just realized that France is really unstable and scared that everyone is out to get them. So I cant really trust them or the Ottomans (because my scheme failed) so I am looking for someone I can trust.

I thought my BT-5s sucked but they were actually really fast. Capable of reaching speeds of 40 mph.
Oh and my weapons are awesome!
M-70 (used all the way up to vietnam as a sniper rifle)
KP/31 (one of the most awesome guns on Call of Duty: World at War)
MP-34 (probably the best LMGs of WW2. had a larger mag than the BAR and was 10xs lighter than the Browning 50 cal. faster rate of fire too.)

[Sentinel XV]

Oh, Cean, I should probably reply to your nation's telegram now.

[Ceannairceach]

Ayup.

Since when is the M2 an LMG?

I had alteady built up my defenses on our border before you posted that.

Just assumed it was because I thought there was no way the BAR, having a clip of 20 rounds was the standard LMG of the US Army in WWII. Thought the M2 was more like the MG34

The US Army used the BAR as a "walking fire" LMG, and supplemented it with the M1919 medium machine gun, which was operated by a team of two. The M2 isn't even man-portable. It's only for use on vehicles.

Yeah, but your T-34/85's will be severely outclassed when I can field my M47's. It fields a 90mm tank gun meant to compete with the Tiger II's 8.8cm gun, which was the most lethal tank gun featured in the Second World War. So I'd be at a disadvantage when the T-34's and other Level 2 tanks start rolling off the assembly lines, but I'll be back on top when the M47 makes its appearance.

And hey, just because the Hotchkiss machine gun was originally fed from oversized stripper clips doesn't mean it's not a fearsome weapon

Yeah the MG-34 isnt as mobile as the BAR. Its used to do the jobs that both the BAR and the M2 do. I think an "assault rifle" could do the same as the BAR though. The KP/31 is almost an assault rifle. Its bigger and more powerful than say the MP40 but is still as mobile

[Garwall]

Oof, forgot I had the StuG III. That should supplement my tank-killing capabilities for a while.

Oh, absolutely. The MG34 is pretty much the best machine gun on the list. I had to omit the MG42 because it's just too good, too effective, to be a fair inclusion.

I thought I was in serious trouble regarding the machine gun category until I read that they did develop something other than stripper clips to feed a Hotchkiss MG.
