DEADLIEST WARRIOR | THE ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT (✔ applications)

[New Hayesalia]

Good stuff!

Since we have four competitors now I will get the OPs written up for two fights. I believe that the 1st Rate against the Optimus will be a better comparison than either against Vang. This is because the units have roughly similar hex profiles for X factors and both are committed soldiers, with the two distinct aims of shock operations vs defence missions.

Me and Vang have more traditional troops, and similar hex profiles. I don't think I make a good match for their Airborne, so either I will wait for another applicant or else I'll submit a more appropriate unit if Vang wants to get right into it.

Of course I can set up winners vs winners competitions later

I'll get the OPs ready and the Sheet updated soon

[Holy Marsh]

Sounds good. If you or Birtonia have any questions, feel free to ask me.

[Military Democracy of Birtonia]

Sweet, sounds good to me!

[New Hayesalia]

First thread!

viewtopic.php?p=31619132#p31619132

If you guys could each post a reply in this sort of style I would appreciate it:

A few paragraphs expanding on the history of you units, introducing your experts, talking about the general mission of the unit, etc. I've framed it as religious defenders of the Marsh vs. effective imperial invaders.

Then, I'll get you to post a paragraph or so of each of your experts talking about their hand to hand weapons (and why they think theirs is superior)

Then, perform the test

First post is always the biggest lol.

[Vangaziland]

I don't mind waiting, let's see who else shows up. People are out there, we may have to send invites, but yeah. Well, you probably have sent invites, since I got one. But no rush, someone could even submit a unit with a vehicle to get in the fray.

This is a unit I made a few months ago that I've really wanted to expand. I think they're in the Khalifiyan campaign as well.

Easy. I might be able to submit my 3rd Commando Division, and make an exception to the vehicle rule? If that works for you

[Vangaziland]

I should apply with a puppet of mine as well!

Yeah, a vehicle isn't needed to oppose the 10th ACD.

Their vehicle is really about the capability of adding light armor to an airborne force. Every nation has paratroopers. This unit is designed to augment those allied units. They probably would work with the 3rd Commando and give them that added punch. They're trained to hold their own sector and are an integrated Brigade Combat Team.

With the Cav role, it means they have the ability to airdrop in (and basically drive right off, unlike most air portable vehicles) and start working with friendly armor.

So they might land and coordinate with a local tank unit. Typical airborne infantry doesn't have that ability. Yes, they have anti-armor weapons and my favorite, artillery. But I'm talking about a major armored push.

So it's not just about, oh my trucks, but more about that unique capability we bring to an allied operation. But I bet your 3rd Commandos have a unique role as well.

There are also tons of ways those vehicles can be encountered. Just know, dismounted operations are always trained for. If they had to, they could deploy without the BMDs. If nothing else, the BMDs could drive from area to area in a campaign and then the soldiers get out and march into the zone. Maybe with certain squads or platoons moving in as support assets, if applicable.

[Vangaziland]

Free Don,

I started to write up a long thing, making a few corrections. There may be some RPs I'm working on that may suit you. I'd like to get you to the social event... It's a ball, but I'd like to have some military there.

Then we could talk about my campaign. But certain details would need to be tweaked. Like the 30mm mortar? I called for mortars and artillery for a job. All I'll say is just use 60mm. Unguided. If you want them accurate, get a laser targeting system. Ideally, you'd want it on a vehicle because they are NOT lightweight. A rangefinder is, but not a real targeting laser. 45, 50 to really 75 pounds for the good one. Trust me, I've set them up... Lol.

Better yet, just train your artillery observers. It'll depend on terrain, their compass skills and distance estimation. Use all of those together with a map and voila! Accurate effects, but you'll still have to adjust the rounds.

Then the weapons choices, they're cool.. But there are a few little details that I won't get into. Having said all that, if you'd be open to learn a bit more and have some details tweaked (or just not focused on), then I'd be glad to write with you. I'd have to learn more about your nation as well.

You have spirit behind your team.

[Sha Mobutia]

Warrior Attributes
Unit Name - The Special Service Regiment
Nation of Origin - The Federalist Republic of Sha Mobutia
Loyalties - To the ideals of the rights of all Freemen, and to defense of the Federalist Republic and her allies.
Years Active - 20+
Average Height - 5' 9" (175 cm) - 6' 3" (191 cm)
Average Weight - 144lbs (65.3kg) - 216 lb (98 kg)
Average Weight of Equipment - 80lbs (36.2kg)
Unit Insignia -
Short History of Unit - In short, the Republic realized that they had a need for experts of bushcraft and nature survival. While any soldier could be taught the rudimentary basics of such things, true masters pursued it as a lifetime art, and training how to be a soldier didn't take nearly as long. So they found seasoned and experienced experts in the arts of maritime and jungle survival, men and women of hardy constitution and strong will, and trained and equipped them to be soldiers. From that foundation came years of development with deployments abroad and the development of physically and mentally intensive training regimen for the Regiment's members.

Training of the Unit -
The Regimental Assessment & Selection Program
Physical Training Standards

Warrior Appearance and General Equipment
- Many Commandos often get the stylized Wedge-Tailed Eagle that serves as the unit crest as celebration of passing the RASP and joining the Regiment.
- The dress uniform of the Commandos includes a cornflower-blue beret. They will also wear this when in field uniform but in an on-combat environment, such as when stationed within the Federal Republic on a non-combat posting.
- Environment-appropriate camouflage (often employing multi-cam style systems in temperate or arid environments), with helmets and softer boonie hats.
- 6B45 Ballistic Vest
- 6B46 Tactical Vest
- 6B47 Military Helmet
- 6Sh117 LICE System
- 1PN139 Thermographic Monitor
- NPI-2 Wearable GLONASS Receiver
- "Sagittarius" Command Tablet
- Environment or mission-appropriate gear (SCUBA systems, snow shoes, HAHO/HALO equipment, etc.)
- Advanced Independent Field Aid Kits
- Multiple MREs (rationed and numbered for expected duration of the operation)

X-Factors - maximum 600 points
Audacity - 50
- Despite the intensive training regimen and funding that goes into the SSR, ideally a Detachment does not take direct action against the enemy themselves. They are at their best when allowed to implement the work of local guerilla fighters whom they have trained and equipped, or when operating 'out' of the direct engagement zone via air strikes and other off-grid support to eliminate the enemy. But when put to task they are capable of direct action.
Intelligence - 70
- While almost all Commandos of the SSR speak some combination of English, Dutch, and Iban it is required to receive a passing grade on the Specialized Language Aptitude Battery (SLAB) to learn another language. They also are trained to be experts at working with locals in a theater of deployment in order to ascertain information on the enemy and local conditions. In addition, even down to the equivelant company-level they deploy with several SIGINT, HUMINT, ELINT, drone operators, and other specialists to ensure that regardless of open Sha Mobutian force presence in the region that they always have something to support them as they act as the eyes and ears of the offensive.
Combat Experience - 60
- While wherever the FRSM goes to war, the SSR is sure to lead the way, the FRSM generally tries not to go to war very often.
Discipline - 60
- While disciplined and well-trained, a Commando is expected to operate independently of higher authorities if the situation demands it - at times potentially needing to act as that higher authority for those around them behind enemy lines. As such a certain level of flexibility and independence is expected and encouraged.
Endurance - 100
- Whether its on the peak of a mountain or slogging through a swamp: the Commandos of the SSR can trek through it, camp in it, or fight in it as demanded. Their ruck marches and swims end when they reach their destination and their training load is everything they have to bring with them.
Extremism - 60
- Almost all Commandos are patriots. They aren't blind zealots. They are Freemen.
Morale - 90
- Especially on the level of the Detachment where it is among those particular small groups of Commandos, they are hardy folks who have learned how to work well and get along with those next to them in any number of harsh and unforgiving circumstances.
Psychological Warfare - 5
- The Commandos of the SSR do not set out to torture or maim the innocent. They do not endorse or aim to commit international war crimes. But that doesn't stop their enemies from muttering dark stories as they are kept up at night wondering just what lays beyond the light of their camp fires and perimeter lights.
Terrain Familiarity - 10
- They are generalized masters of bushcraft: there is no saying if their deployment will take them to sunny and warm beaches, miserable and dark swamps, or bitterly cold and snow-capped mountain-peaks. They have to be trained and capable to navigate through, survive and forage in, and fight through whatever environment they might go to. They carry qualifications in diving, airborne, mountain, and arctic warfare courses to make sure that even if they don't know the unique properties of the region they know how to survive and perhaps even thrive there during the course of their operation.
Training - 95
- The RASP is harsh, unforgiving, and has a brutal drop-out rate from the first day to the graduation ceremony. Commandos are generally not among those who seek succor and lazy peace after trials and hardship - they are men and women who face adversity and physical and mental challenges day after day. In fact there is a saying in the Regiment about physical and mental training: "Train each day with the idea that you will be the hardest SOB someone ever has to try and kill."

It is deployed at the Detachment level and higher as a supplement to third-party intelligence assets from friendly units in the AO. Though of course any well-trained Commandos do not need the 'Interloper' in order to accomplish their missions, its incredibly long loiter time, high altitude, and optics amplify their usefulness in the field several times over.

Any special information?
Nothing much.

You can only have 600 points in X-Factors. You have 694.

[New Hayesalia]

Free-Don, due to the fact you're a new nation, I will have to say no for now. Do keep active around NS.

Sha Mobutia, while you don't meet the post limit you are a special invitee, and I'll accept your app gladly. I'll add you to the sheet now. You're 20 points short of 600 on your application, so feel free to edit an additional 20 X-Factor points to your app and let me know when you've done that via TG. Not an order, just if you'd like to

Metcalfer, I would recommend you change your AA-12 to a more traditional medium range weapon (around the range of 250m to 450m area.) I'll accept your application but I will dock 10 points from each of your current X-Factors - looks like a typo IMO since you're near exactly 100 over (I worked in a bank long enough to know how easy that is) so you can edit your application and TG me when you've changed it to 600.

[Vangaziland]

Since the coded app couldn't be copied on this tablet, I coped another app and used that as my basis. I kind of thought it was either or with the hand to hand. But we definitely have a style and I added it, even if for informational purposes. I'll paste it here as well, just to make reviewing it easier.. Van Judo Jitsu

For fighting styles such as karate or krav magra:
Style: Van Judo Jitsu
YouTube Video if available:
Extra Information: The Vangazi train in a style that is a blend of Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

This blend came about from typical Vannish Martial Arts schools, many of which are government funded. Settlers from an island that was once occupied by Japanese forces came to Vangaziland. They brought Judo and taught the art to the Vangazi. The Vangazi removed all traces of Shinto, but kept a focus on discipline and training.

Immigrants from rival nation, the Fierte Alliance, brought their form of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, sometimes called Fiertean Jiu Jitsu, much later. Vannish culture merged the two styles along with some of the first major Vannish Mixed Martial Artists.

The Vannish Army adopted techniques from both of these styles, along with the Vannish system of striking. It focuses more so on punches, elbows and close range striking, like knee or even head butts.

The Vannish Army focuses on the clench, the takedown and the ground game. There are ways to deflect a strike, close the distance, and wrap the enemy up. Once somebody's strong arm is wrapped, then the close range system of Vannish striking comes into effect, mainly to distract and prep for the takedown.

Once on the ground, the tactic have changed from judo to Jiu Jitsu. Now the Vangazi are looking for the dominant position to control on the ground. They learn how to fight from many positions, like the guard and defensive postures.

But in combat, the Vangazi will not be gentle. They are heavy handed people. Joint manipulation will only result in broken bones. A chokehold will result in asphyxiation. They are not trained to disable, but to neutralize.

Reason it has been selected for use by your unit: The Vangazi are tall, big people. The airborne soldiers are lighter. The average height isn't as tall either, because this is an airborne unit. The lightest soldiers are the ones that get selected for Airborne. And if they aren't light, they will be before they earn their jump wings.

The Vangazi see this as more of a complete system. Striking is something one can spar and improve on their own. Many combat units hold competitions and rankings to build interest in striking and other martial arts.

Takedowns and the ground game need technique. Soldiers are taught many, many ways of clinching against various forms of martial arts. Taekwondo (says spell check), Karate, and boxing? There is a clench for that. And if an enemy resists the clench or is larger, the Vangazi use violence of action to get into the mind of their enemy.

So the result is a system that closes the distance, engages the enemy and takes the fight to the ground quickly. The Vangazi make sure to train hard in the takedown and ground game to control a fight from start to finish, with technique and aggression.

Short History of Unit - One of the three shock-troop divisions of the New Hayesalian Army, the three Commando divisions are focused on being an overseas force with the capability of accomplishing a majority of missions assigned to them. Their mission, in a phrase, is large scale offensives, support and recovery operations beyond the scope and capability of other regular Military units. They must span the gap between conventional infantry operations and unconventional operations, with a focus on large scale advance force operations and direct action missions. Each division has a particular focus. The 3rd Commando Division has a mechanised role, using the famed Javelin infantry fighting vehicle. 1 Commando Div is a light infantry/airborne unit, and the 2nd Commando is a motorised infantry force.

Training of the Unit - Commando Selection is the first step to entry for any special forces unit. Commando Selection focuses on endurance and general skills, with high levels of physical fitness necessary for the initial selection period. This involves pack marches and combat PT. Entrants are usually transfers from all military services, mostly comprised of Army Members who will join the Commando Divisions - that said, sailors, marines and even fighter pilots attend the course. The training equips them with mental and physical fortitude and proves to the individual service members the levels of their capabilities.

Training in combat, particularly long range patrols and operations in foreign areas, is given to Commando recruits. They are expected to have excellent tactical skills, the capacity to resolve difficult situations rapidly and at low levels, and to capably fight in conditions that would be exceptionally dangerous for regular infantry units. As a part of their training, a Commando can be expected to gain qualification tabs in fields such as reconnaissance, arctic and mountain warfare, and airborne skills.

The 3rd Commando is not air-deployable. While it's infantry members are qualified and may deploy via air, the heavy machinery behind the force is usually shipped or air-transported to the area of conflict rapidly, particularly after an airport seizure.

That commando unit looks awesome! See, these two units would definitely like to work together. That's a major capability these two units bring to an alliance. Because if one of our allies needs to make a push, Vannish Cavalry will fly in and be able to literally drop and drive away. Say, we seize an airport.. Then both of our heavy transports (because Vannish C-5's will also help) can move in your vics, get them unpacked and say, maybe meet up with a tank unit? That's the Armor, Cav, Infantry mix I've known to love... Hahaha. So that's awesome! I'm glad they've been brought to my attention.

Then we could have conventional airborne or marines landing light infantry elsewhere... It's serious power projection.. Needed in the NS world. *watches foreign spies take notes* *surfaces ballistic submarine* *spies take new notes and forget about the armored push*

And I know the Birtonians and of our other allies have all sorts of units as well. That scenario just ran through my mind.

I think I'm gonna pass on your offer. Build up some courage in some more newbie RPs before trying to join the walls of text I see from the match (which I found hilarious) and your ball (which I'll be watching).

I figured that the laser stuff was around 20 lbs and could be carried by the horse and/or mounted on the horse. That being said...yeah I'm gonna have to be making some changes.

But this is a little off topic for this forum.

His name reminds me of Donner Land... But that Don doesn't leave P2TM or II.

I thought he just died

Still alive and watching out M8s. Had to work a 26 hour shift (as a civvie).

Posted, NH. I liked your post, Birtonia. TG me if anything in my post is nonsensical, had to write it in a fifteen minute span at lunch during an 18-hour workday haha.
