Yeah, I wouldn't imagine they'd have much stockpiled because the whole point is for flights to be coming though all the time


An island that has a food allowance as part of the local laws suggests to me that they think further ahead than the next flight worth of baked beans.

This page seems to suggest to me that there would be a pretty large private food stockpile, beyond what the British have left behind.

Problem is that the island only had 880 people, your military has 4000, the stockpile won't last long

I've 2100 troops on the island. So I'd expect the islanders stockpile to last at least a couple of weeks, and then we're in to the rations the troops brought with them and the food flown in.

Assuming everyone's eating three meals a day, the food should run out altogether in about two to three months.

Cuba, you again overestimate your power. The entire Cuban merchant marine only has 4 container ships, the air force has at best a dozen or so mig-29s, and the navy has no cruisers.

I don't think each islander has a 6 week food stockpile and I think your average soldier needs more food than the average islander.

And then we run into the fact that the Brazilian Air Force is even worse than their Navy. A US CAP from a carrier could knock logistical forces out of the sky at will, to be honest.

Since Macht has not objected to the rolling odds, I have gone ahead and done that.

I rolled a 25. The strikes were very effective.

Heh, sorry. I had thought I had seen an RNA, but that was when I woke up and was very... tired.

Cuban troops have teleported to Russia and the RNU has somehow bought tanks that only exist in the stocks of the Russian army.

You have not read my earlier posts. Cuban cruisers are repurposed ships. Also, China donates a lot to Cuba.
And Russia, those are the Chinese ones, China gave them to me earlier.

Also, what strike was that you rolled for? The third wave?

Also the BTR-90 program was cancelled and the PAK program is still in development.

The fact that PAK is in development and there is only 5-6 that have been created, it doesn't make sense.

Wasn't that the second strike that done moderate damage?

I bought them, way back at the beginning, when Putin slashed my funds. We secured only some of the tanks, and I bought even more when I robbed the Bank of Moscow.
