They've had grenade launchers since the 1700s...

Those were just like a blunderbuss that launched grenades. They weren't rocket launchers.

DId you like my factbook on the Weapons of my army? I really liked the R4 Vektor.

I personally think they could use with more detail. My branch factbooks aren't done yet but both the Army and Navy ones look amazing.

I use artillery created between 1890 and 1918.

The Colonial Guard and Colonial Fleet now rank among the Free Isles Army. But the main question is, allied Navys?

Once Manticore arrives at the Summit, we will discuss the involvement of the Alliance of Republican Nations.

I plan to support you with the 2nd Vloot.

2nd Vloot - 12 Ivorum Battleships, 3 Kendi Dreadnoughts, 42 Kaapstad Battlecruisers, 20 Nautilus Submersibles, 5 GE Submersibles, 50 Gun-runner MK2 Torpedo Boats.

Iv'e got the specifics on each of those Ship Classes on my Stats Post

OH COME ON ARENGIN

I FORGOT I HAD NO EAST PORTS AND HAD TO IMPROVISE

CUT ME SOME SLACK!

No one passes through Arengin land without inspection. If you have proper papers you should be fine.

I could detach elements of my 3rd Fleet or send the full force of my Expeditionary Force and collect a different force to help Norcourt in Goldrush.

Its the Directeur of Boer Foreign Diplomacy, and THE BLOODY ROYAL FAMILY OF MANTICORE.

I would assume they have bloody proper papers...

You know, as we get closer to 1900, I would assume that, given the relative increase in tensions worldwide, we would see a MASSIVE military build up. An arms race for naval, air, and land dominance.

Arengin, Directuer Henry and the Manticoran Delegation are still on land...

Im just hoping my peope have the ability to make it that far. I guess this coming war will decide that.

Speaking of which, anyone else think we should continue after 1910? Either with a new RP or just from where we leave off? I know I would like that.

My army has reached around 100,000 to 150,000 men now, with about 40 ships. Small, but if we win the war we can rebuild.

Well then, I think the Manticoran forces will go a long way to helping you retake your homeland.

My army is currently studying modern mechanized infantry tactics...

We're trying to increase our strategical value, this is the same reason why we're building new modern weaponry.

My army is definitely going to have to learn how to use maneuver warfare. In its current state, there is no way we could stand up with the tactics currently being used, but if we use fire and maneuver tactics we would stand a better chance. Billys history as the commander of the armored corp will give him an advantage, as the Armored Corp already used those tactics. Keep moving, dont let them get a bead on you.
