World Map RP, Players Welcome!

[Bezombia]

Doing another version in BMP, I've figured out a new system of telling who's territory it is
Instead of a number, colours will be used, a key is at the bottom.

Much easier to do.

I love cutting corners.

Good luck when you have 40+ nations and you run out of colors.

I wouldn't worry about that, paint has enough shades of every colour.

GIMP has more, and I ran out.

GIMP literally has every shade of every color on the planet, and then opaqueness and transparencies. And I ran out.

wow i have GIMP and i have seen how many colors it has and you ran out? what did you do then?

OOC: I've been without internet for about a week now, so that's why I've been inactive.


IC: On that note, though, NNA will foray into Malawi. Due to a lack of repercussions from the locals, NNA found its conquest rather simple. We will develop Malawi and begin work on a transnational railroad network, that for now will solely contain the commercial centers of the different regions, but will soon be expanded to have more influence. Funding for the project is being received through the sale of other resources found in mining and the tobacco that is produced in much of the south of the empire.

[Uieurnthlaal]

Japan continues work on it's navy. Furthermore, we purchase the British Columbian Coast for ₭12 000 000, 200km inland, roughly extending the alaskan coast all the way down to 40 km from the US border. We stop short at Vancouver, and leave the 200km by 40km strip of land as a buffer zone between the US and Japan. (OoC: I TG Qubec about this, and they're okay with it)

Now i said this would be a fair war. It will e. We will have some advantages and you will get some. But at the moment where you bought that land is very near to where we test a lot of equipment. We have several Military bases near that area. Our Mobilized troops Are moving out for the stretch of land that barriers us and you and setting up strong defensive positions and camps. Reinforcements coming from further down the US, hopefully arriving in 1-2 weeks ready for a advancement. As i said Just luck i had stuff stationed there. As you will get some luck as the war goes on.

One of the reasons I set up a buffer zone that included around three million people was specifically so that this cannot happen. Any military action through the Qubec buffer zone would be physically and economically impossible, because of how much its vitality is relied on by the neighboring regions. I propose a treaty eliminating any costly military actions of an aggressive nature on the North American coast. This was is an East Asian war, and it should stay that way.

First of the person who owned Canada didn't post once and you have no troops there, so they have very little military equipment. Civilians vs tanks... not hard to see the out come. Our government talk this over. We refuse your treaty because you contradict yourself. You say you want the war to stay in Asia. So you bought some North American land, which undoubtedly would bring war to the America's. We also know you spent a lot of money on that, money that could be used preparing Japan. We could take it for free, meaning you have waisted your money. The invasion force has arrived and is within 5km of Uiernthlaal's border. Waiting for orders.

We bought it for economic, not political reasons. Quick access to trade with the western Canadian and western American coast would be very useful to us. Also, if you have forces stationed within 5 km of our border, you've shut down the entire Vancouver metropolitan region in response to an entirely civilian annexation. I highly doubt Canada would take well to you shutting down their entire pacific port. We are entering into negotiations with the Canadian government to prevent this useless aggression that damages both Uieurnthlaal and Canada.

This is true, all though we have consulted with Canada and they didn't so much agree with it but with a army right near them they knew it was bad idea to say no. Also even if it is for economical reasons you still should have thought how this could have looked like a war threat to us. Lets say Nazi Germany bought Ireland, I don't think England would take kindly to it...

That's why I'm offering a treaty prohibiting all military action of an aggressive nature, or acts of militarization, in the region. I entered into negotiations with Canada, drew up the plans, and finalized the purchase agreement far before this war started. It's a useful region economically, and I wish for no war on the west coast. Such a war would be far too costly for the both of us, and will achieve little. But, if you still do not like this agreement, we will be forced to send naval enforcements to the region.

Speaking of the navy, we're beginning a mobilization of many of our naval forces in the Japanese region. Currently, we are sending forces into Burma, from our naval bases in Southeast Asia, and through the Kra Canal. With a well-practiced navy and a disciplined army, we head up the Burmese rivers, taking the land from the South up, and crushing any resistance. Since, however, the burmese economy is weak and underdeveloped, resistance on the part of the Burmese government or civilians is scant.

We still refuse to sign the treaty. But will re-think about attacking.

We here about these attacks on Burma. We send troops carriers with naval escorts to Burma for a land invasion. We do not know how may Japanese troops their are but we are sending 22,500 men 122 tanks and 106 other armoured vehicles. Also 2 regiments of planes consisting of 216 planes should be arriving soon. We are planing on rushing part of the coast and setting up a stronghold their and holding our ground until reinforcements come, if any are needed.

This shall be the first battle of the war. We must think of a way to do this fairly and properly. Uiernthlaal, and idea how we should do the war, how to decide who wins?

[Ragnarum]

Ragnaran photo reconnaissance aircraft fly overhead these areas and attempt to make sense of the numbers and situation.

In Ragnarum, high command have been looking at methods of air dropping troops. Ragnarum has the equipment, but just hasn't done it yet.
They realise they will need lighter and more compact equipment, with weaponry that can fill as many multiple roles as possible.

I can't think of, off the top of my head, any way to do this war thoroughly and accurately, but I suppose the easiest way would be to require that all actions have a either a historical precedent to back them up, an action in this thread backed up by historical statistics, or historical events of the time. That way, at least, the war stays realistic.

Anyway, Uieurnthlaal begins an inscription program. We send off 100,000 soldiers out of our forces of 1,400,000 (this is my approximation of the Japanese army in 1938-ish. The closest statistic I have is from two years later, with 1,700,000 soldiers), and we're gradually enlisting more, hoping to reach 3,500,000 trained soldiers within a year and a half.

On a final side note, I still feel like the original OP time would be better. At that rate, a month takes merely 4.5 years, so even if the OP is inactive for two entire weeks, IC, there would only be a two-year pause in events, which is hardly a long time, at least by historical standards.

In WWII 2 years could change a lot. I think we should just slow things down quite a bit every time there is not much happening.

Also, concerning the fighting, look at the environment of the area you are fighting in and the equipment your troops have and how much of it they have.

This may be complicated and over thought for such a battle, but you might want to do something similar to what Hearts of Iron 3 does - http://heartsofiron.wikia.com/wiki/HoI3 ... _Modifiers

[Bezombia]

Extensive military trials have resulted in one conclusion: that the KAP-36 is an imperfect weapon.

Previous research has indicated that tank crews, pilots, rear echelons, and non-combat roles need a lightweight, fully automatic firearm that the KAP-36 isn't providing. While this research has long since been declared too experimental to continue with, after two years of shelving the idea Benomia is now ready to carry on with it.

Further, the KAP-36 has been noted to not be able to handle its own at extremely long ranges. It is hard to use a KAP-36 as a sniper rifle, because it lacks the power at range of rival battle rifles. Research into a dedicated sniper platform has also begun.

Two sister projects have begun from these two ideas, titled PROJECT LSPW (Lightweight Special Purpose Weapon) and PROJECT OVERSPAWN respectively. Top Benomian designers, such as Richard J. Kasmir who designed the KAP-36, have been enlisted for these two projects.

I think for the war we should slow it down a lot, so things don't take years in a war.

Now the army in 1940 in America was 500,000 but when they joined the war, and between 1942-1945 the army was approximately 12,000,000 strong. My military, because of the outbreak of the war, (And we were preparing for it before) at the moment is 2.7 million in America 22,000 in Kannap's land staying there for protection. Also we have 22,500 in Burma, and 30,000 on there way to Burma. We are recruiting more. SO we do need a way to fight the battle. My men landing in Burma storm part of the coast. Uiernthlaal, how many men did you have on the border and what do you think the outcome would have been? Mass slaughter for me or you? Or was no one there and would we have taken part of the coast with ease?

[Ragnarum]

The search for equipment for paratroopers has been successful, a specialised rifle made for paratroopers has been made, it fires the new 7.14x47mm round and has a 30 round magazine, it can fire fully automatic or in semi auto. It has a good effective range of about 500+ metres. It has also been lightened quite a bit, however it is made relatively sturdily. Its official mililtary name is FA39A1. It can fill a lot of roles as well, a light support version has been made with a bipod and changeable barrel with an optional 65 round drum.

Other selected para equipment includes;

-CRF37A2 shotguns - 12 gauge
-RFR36A2M battle rifle - 7.78x57mm (bigger calibre version of RFR36, used by marksmen with scope)
-A36L submachine gun - 9x25 (lightweight version, folding stock etc)
-BMGL rifle grenade - 45mm
-FT36A1 flame thrower (carried by multiple people)
-ATR28 anti tank rifle - 15mm (carried by multiple people)
S36A Machine gun - 7.78x57mm (belt fed/drum fed)

They have plenty of weaponry at their disposal, and of course plenty of specialised equipment but that isn't as interesting or fun to write about.

[New North Aqmuland]

New North Aqmuland continues work on the railroad connecting the major cities (Dar Es Salaam, Bujumbura, Kigali, Kampala, Nairobi, Lilongwe, and Maputo.) As the distance from Lilongwe to Maputo is by far the longest leg of the network, and the central hub of Dodoma is nowhere near either city, development in the south of New a North Aqmuland is slowing, but is still productive enough to sustain the economy in the area. The north is flourishing, and will continue to do so as the demand for beef rises around the world.

I'm starting to think that we should actually slow things down, as you said. Anyway, I probably won't be able to respond fully again until the weekend, so until then, you can assume that I'm enlisting an army at a rate of 3 million a year, and training them over a six-month period. Currently, we are sending another 300,000 soldiers to Burma to occupy it, and keep it under firm Vjörn control. As they work to eliminate the pockets of resistance in the mountains, we're sending an army of around 200,000 soldiers through Burma to Yunnan, to conquer the province. Since many of our most trained soldiers are familiar with that terrain from the wars in Manchuria, we don't expect too much resistance. For the most part, by coordinating our military actions with economic ones to eliminate any chance of rebellion or large battles, we don't expect any big outbreaks of fighting. We expect the occupation of Yunnan to take approximately two months to complete.

that constitutes an invasion of the Ruivan Empire. We will declare war if you do that.

Ummmm.... I should hope so. After all, I am sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers to reclaim your southern territory for another nation.

[Bezombia]

Project Overspawn is coming along nicely. Along with the LSPW project, Benomian researchers have decided that 7.92mm is the best caliber for both roles. Variations on case design, length, and bullet design are currently in full swing. The general idea is to create a "full power" battle cartridge for Overspawn, and then cut the case down for the LSPW. More on this story as it develops.

[Kannap]

The invasion of Finland continues ongoing, with hardly any resistance seen from their military, government, or citizenry. All land north of Oulu was rapidly taken. Now, the invasion force is pushing south. Troops have made it as far as Kajaani and Kuhmo. The air force is dominating the skies, and is preparing bombing runs over Koupio, hearing that enemy troops could possibly be massing there.

Meanwhile, a fleet of ships leave port in Stockholm, they are believed to carry a small number of aircraft and a troop count of 150,000 troops. There destination is unknown, though probably somewhere in Africa or South America.

[The British Gumpurt]

The operation to take part of the coast of Burma was successful. Japan's army was not in the region of the coast we invaded. So we set up a foot hold and secured the area. We are taking in Civilians who had there home taken from them by the Japanese and we are deeding and treating them. (I am assuming that we took the coast Uiernthlaal because i posted to ask what you thought the outcome would be but you didn't reply, and im assuming you didn't protect the coast as you just wanted to push up the country.) 29,000 men 206 planes and 300 tanks have come to reinforce the strong hold. We want to advance from there. We are taking more land in Africa. Uiernthlaal, if you want to keep Burma, you might want to do something about the stronghold.The longer you leave it, the stronger the stronghold gets. Just saying.

[Ragnarum]

After thorough testing of the FA39A1, it has proven itself an excellent performing rifle and very reliable. It performed so well in combat trials it will be adopted for standard service as the main rifle for Ragnarums military, not just paratroopers.
