And air craft carriers?

[Sanabel]

And if he's a noob, dont app as a giant Holy Empire. Take like...Ethiopia.

[Suekiva]

I mobilized troops to my borders to counteract his own mobilization. Regardless, my border with the Caucasus region result in me having a thin strip of land to work with to fight them, since they've already mobilized troops in the region and the general or whatever has a huge amount confidence in his military, I don't know why he'd send more troops to the region.

It could also mean i could try to invade from there knowing an invasion over moutains would take forever

Uh, invading from the Caucausus doesn't change that you'll have to go through mountains. And please fix the Aleppo thing.

[Suekiva]

Sanabel, how large is your Persian Gulf squadron?

[Sanabel]

Probably around 20,000 Marines in the area from the Army.

Currently within the Gulf, there are probably a very large number of escort ships, a couple corvettes, a couple light destroyers, an ironclad or two, and a very close by dreadnought. If need be, I can easily call in more from my Indian Ocean Fleet. The ships are already very close by anyway, to protect my main shipping routes. I could easily get more of each, plus some heavy destroyers. We don't have a huge military presence there(yet), because we had no reason to have one.

While small, it is all 11/10 top notch, over all probably better than both the Ottoman and Persian navies in terms of tech and quality. Size? Probably not.

how is Kos getting his fleet all the way around Africa and into the Persian gulf without refueling?

Dutch Africa?

[Suekiva]

You know, Greek could just convince the French and the Brits to disallow Kosovo access through the Straits of Gibraltar.

[New Decius]

And air craft carriers?

Not yet created. No one has any

Both are absent so

I believe he was referring to the app on the other page.

Dutch Africa?

He still has a long way to get there even

[Suekiva]

The distance from Latakia in Syria to Luanda in Angola is nearly 6000 nautical miles, within the operational range of some 1910 battleships.

Full Nation Name:The Great Canadian Expanses
Short Nation Name:Canada
National Flag:The current Canadian flag.
Territory:Canada
Colonies: Iceland
Client States: (
Official Language(s):English, French
Form of Government:Empire
Head of State:The Great And Holy Emperor Jean-Paul Smithe the Fiftieth
Head of Government:
Capital City:Quebec
Population:2,000,000
Ethnicities: Canadian, French, German, American
Religion:Roman Catholic
Army: 250,000 soldiers, all well-trained. They operate with less-than-standard guns, because their arms manufacturing industry is a bit behind. However, their vehicles are excellent and they have excellent supply lines.
Navy: 500 ships. In excellent condition and built sturdily and well-armed.
50 cruisers
50destroyers
50 battleships
50 aircraft carriers
Air Force: Not great- consists of a handful of biplanes, and quite a few rusty WWII era planes.
Economic Strength: With many sources of metal and other resources like petrol, there is a wealthy trade industry with other nations. Resources as valuable as those from Canada cost quite a bit and thus Canada is very wealthy.
Infrastructure: Strong central government that rules over all its lands tightly, but with some political freedoms.
Scientific Research and Development: Beginning work on chemical weapons and better airplanes.
Primary Goals: Gain more land and (eventually) control North America.
History: When France colonized Canada in the beginning, the colonists threw a successful revolution and gained their independence. They soon revolted again in 1791 against a corrupt democratic government. Then , The Great And Holy Emperor Jean-Paul Smithe the First took the nation by storm, and ever since has held an excellent governmental system. His son, Jean-Paul Smithe Jr., changed his name to the Fiftieth as opposed to the Second, but no one argues with the Emperor. In 1897, the current Emperor the Fiftieth was crowned.
RP Example:None, sorry. Rookie.

Denied. Canada is already split between French controlled Quebec and the remainder controlled by Britain. And that does not go with the Iron and Steel timeline. Also aircraft carriers are not yet in use

1910 isn't 1900 tho

Of course, his ships are slightly outdated, so it might be a bit sketchy.

Aren't we in 1910 tech?

[New Decius]

Should have an IC post up tomorrow either before or after my shift

1910 tech level remember

He could also stop off in German Africa, I guess.

Who and which of Germany's African territories?

[Suekiva]

I've looked through the ranges of a lot of the battleship classes from the first decade of the 20th century and most would be able to make the Syria--->Togo jump.

Who and which of Germany's African territories?

Kosovo, when he moves his fleet over to the other side. Then again, since they seem to be able to go to landlocked cities, maybe he can just walk his battleships across Iraq.

Historically the Ottomans did move their ships over land during one major battle, but come on this is the 20th century! THINK BIG!

Well a clause in the treaty signed between Germany and the Ottoman Empire allows the Ottomans to dock both civilian and military vessels in German ports and vice versa.

[SECP]

I believe this is acceptable for the current Ottoman-Persian situation
