Discovery of A Continent - Verktha [OOC]

[Virana]

Same but only my reserves have crap training, the rest have four years, in peacetime.

Four years of training is like Navy SEAL level. You can't afford to train that many people that long. Average conscript training can't be longer that 4-6 weeks or so, and professionals 12-18 weeks.

They only reason they stay, is because the Commissar will shoot them if they don't.

You must have a very high desertion rate and rate of suicides in your military. That impacts morale severely.

Your colony is a large colony and a prize worth taking so by decree Titianician senate The Ditorist Hegemony of the IASM has declared war on the First Valerian Empire. To show that this is truly war we have fired 12 Purgatory class MIRVs at your nation and have deployed 15 divisons of Titianician armed forces.

I thought no nukes... and you're attacking someone for having a large colony? That's like America attacking Russia because they have the largest country in the world.

[The New Lowlands]

Virana, you forget, this is the Imperium of Man we're on about. Logic isn't exactly something their style.

[The New Lowlands]

And yeah, Valeria is based on France so your ass is about to get nuked.

[Armageddon Steel Legion]

You get shot if you try to commit suicide.


Plus if they escape the commissar, they have to deal with the Inquisition. The regular troops through don't even flinch, maybe because they come from Kreig it's self, which is a nuclear waste-land that's became polluted thanks to the apartment building tall factories.


Lowland... YOU CAN'T SEE MY PURGING FACE. Yes, Virana if we were really being 40k you would have to fight a entire world of bad-asses, who neevr retreat.

[Krjder]

Who's heard of Yopfu

[The New Lowlands]

I most certainly haven't.

[Krjder]

He's a pathetic communist who gropes round forums and regional message boards asking for 'justice' against me. He can't get over the fact me and some friends invaded him

[Virana]

Is that what IASM stands for? Because even their factbook called them "IASM".

That's why they desert and go into other countries. I'm sure a trooper would rather be shot/commit suicide then have to die in a battle against a superior foe just because his leader is a warmonger. Plus I could just bribe specific leaders to ditch, impacting the morale of the troops under them. It worked for the U.S. during the Gulf War.

Besides, I don't think it feels good to watch/hear about how your commissar just killed yet another one of his men because he was disobedient or tried to desert or tried to kill himself. Just leads to troopers feeling like complete dog-ass-shit until they pick their own gun up and shoot themself in the head.

But yeah, I get your point about how the troopers are good natural fighters since their home nation is a wasteland.

This is entirely irrelevant to this thread.

ASL=The Imperium of Man.

[Armageddon Steel Legion]

Yeah, Commissars mostly flog the men through. All depends on the Commissar. Commisar Ludio Maxell, likes to stomp on the recruit's balls until he can sing like a choir boy.

She actually only shoots them for openly worshipping the Chaos Gods.

So that means you are going to get destroyed?

War is declared on the First Valerian Empire and everything is going smoothly.

[Krjder]

What! No my troops are highly trained

Tanks V horses.


TANKS V HORSES.


Do they use muskets too? I only ever use horses when the battlefield is too muddy for tanks.

[Krjder]

No they use rifles, any way horses are good for terrorising infantry!

[The New Lowlands]

No they use rifles, any way horses are good for terrorising infantry!

Not mechanized infantry.

[Armageddon Steel Legion]

Unless they have tanks.
