1938: A Prelude to War (Reboot/OOC/Open)

[Whiteshore]

I have John Walter Christie,fear me!

[Epraria]

All will fear the Russian T-34's though.

Agreed. We already have the manpower advantage (by far), and if we can get German/Russian weaponry to you and Siam (which would be very easy if someone just made a damn IC post about it), we would have the technological balance and manpower advantage in all theaters.

Where is the goddamn treaty? I lost my link in a sea of TG's and whenever i get there everyone has left.

[Whiteshore]

I have the advantage of National Pride as my people don't see themselves as Greeks,Anatolians,Lebanese,Syrians,Palestinians,or Jordanians but as Romaioi(Romans)

Yes and my people doesn't see themselves as the Chinese eh?

Yes,you are Chinese.

And I have oil. Oil trumps all. *nods*

I was sarcastic.

Of course,we are friends against tyranny.

You may be. I'm just interested in what can profit Persia. Speaking of which, by eastern border has been destabilized...

How so?

The UK is no longer there. This presents a problem, mainly because the interim government is unstable and doesn't have full control over the country.

No, they see themselves as Arabs. Us Brits couldn't eradicate Welsh culture over 700 years when we have a common religion. I doubt the ERE could eradicate Arabic culture when they don't even have a common religion or writing system.

[Hawaogopi]

Sorry about my lack of posts, my work schedule has been hefty this weekend. Good thing I'm off for a day and a half as of tonight (EST). Expect many Brasilian shenanigans

[Lunas Legion]

Also, for technology, are we saying you get everything produced/owned by the RL country that occupied that territory, so the ERE would have all the ships, rifles and tanks etc used by Turkey and Greece in RL, Columbia would get all the guns/tanks/ships etc used by Mexico, Japan and Australia, etc, as they were in 1938?

[Whiteshore]

Lunas Legion,so your saying our biggest warship would be basically a WW1 Battlecruiser with 11inch guns(I'm talking about the SMS Goeben).

You'd have the Goben, along with the Salamis-class and any unfinished/confiscated ones like HMS Agincourt.

[Whiteshore]

The Salamis Class was smaller than the SMS Goeben.

Gun size doesn't matter. A fleet is only useful for power projection; actual naval combat can be done solely by aircraft for less cost and more effectiveness.

Edit: It also applies to ships docked in colonies in 1938. So you'd get any British ships in the Palestine Squadron in French ships in the Syrian squadron.

[Bujahla]

@Whiteshore, I forgot if I wrote this in chatroom or in IC, but all SOMUA35s were built a year prior with a cheaper base plate and 2 man turret. Purchasing 500 though would be incredibly expensive and would divert the tanks from the much needed french army which is still producing its own. Figuring they were built a year earlier, we have roughly 430 out of the 600 we have plans to build. We couldn't afford to build you all these tanks so we'll sell you the manufacturing rights.

[Epraria]

Can someone send me the link to the Madrid treaty?

[Zumreed]

Well, if we went with the previous idea of basing claims on weapons, them Columbia would have all the Japanese weapons, ships, and (in my opinion, shitty) tanks, planes,then the Mexican Mondragon rifles, the STEN Guns, Brit tanks and ships.

Seems like an overload of OP.

[Kryskov]

Y'all are being so unoriginal. Danubia has a light tank system, usually supporting infantry movements. Instead, we rely on a mobile artillery system.

My expertise is in diplomacy, so I'm not the one for having a very creative or all that impressive array of weapons. That's why the Maginot line runs from the Netherlands down to that lake on the Swiss-German border. Also 'cause in the first world war, Germany would have attacked me through belgium so Hitler's WWII plan would be anticipated so we were prepared and built the line in full for Europe. Thankfully I didn't have to build an Alps line like IRL and could build one in the Prynese.

I have a feeling this is going to die soon...

No, shush. We can make it.
