The Norse Encounter (OOC, TWI ONLY)

[Keomora]

Upper Norseland is it okay if a unit of the Keomoran Foreign Legion is there? And I will put a small number of ship under Atnaia if he agrees.

[Upper Norseland]

I have no issue, just so long as there is a good reason. KFL is sort of a special-forces type deal, right?

Kinda. They're like a mix of marines, French Foreign Legion and Gurkhas. And I think they are there because while Keomora can't support you officially they're involvement is an informal way for Keomora to show support I'm case things went south. We're kinda cynical.

Why are you getting involved in this war? What reason do you have? I thought you said you were overstretched

Her Empress is my King's younger cousin, and the Empire has named itself Representative of the Kemor people, a large ethnic group to which my people belong.

The KFL is not a part of the Keomoran Armed forces... they're a mercenary force and from what Upper Norseland described how his warriors are very warrior like and it's a high chance that a unit would be there looking to be hired. In addition the reason UN described.

*grumbles* I wish Keo had more fleshed out factbooks. It would be interesting and also so much easier to understand why Keomora gets involved in practically every war in the Western half of TWI.

Ugh everyone has mercenaries now. There's a reason they're out of fashion in the modern world. It's kind of silly how many there are, they're meant to fill a niche.

Ever since this May I have been RPing a majority on the time via phone. I have enough time to RP but not enough to fill in my factbooks.

[Upper Norseland]

Well, we are not going to have the resources to be "hiring" anybody. We are going to be hopelessly crippled. Seems to me as if you should secretely task the otherwise unofficial KFL with a particular assignment. Is your Empress married?

Ikr? We've talked about so much, but her books haven't changed.

Mercenaries are actually prevalent in the modern world. During the Iraqi occupation a lot of mercenaries or "security contractors" where hired. There have been so many wars in the WI that a mercenary force is viable.

She used to be married.

You need factbooks to RP. How can you RP with someone if you next to nothing about their nation? You need factbooks.

But they don't call themselves mercenaries and aren't hired on a massive scale.

[Taziristan]

The US hired thousands

[Skaitsya]

The US hired thousands

One of the main points about this region is that none of us are the US, IMO.

Anyway, I don't really know where I was going with that Tbh, I think I was more just kind of irritated by this mercenary craze. If everyone has Mercenary companies, then it's not a profitable business anymore.

[Perawin]

Perawin will intervene even if genocide has not been confirmed; the people are very sensitive to preventing genocide.

[Upper Norseland]

I feel like the actual camps in Taziristan are going to be full of interesting stories. I also feel that the Taziris are going to make a lot of comments comparing Norsemen to animals.

[Taziristan]

He'll yeah

[Moukere]

How will my guys get There? I want to have some tribal militia helping their "brothers in the faith" but we have a distinct lack of Air Force and navy.

[Skaitsya]

The same way my guys are getting there I'm guessing, by Taziri ships. Your not the only one with a weak/non existent navy and Air Force.

We have a weak non existent everything. Our army is still using AK-47s and few have body armour.

[Atnaia]

Tagged to keep track.

[Upper Norseland]

So, with Skaitsya and Moukere now being ferried by Taziristan, I'm thinking we'll need another nation with a significant amount of Naval power to keep Taziristan from having to commit a huge number of naval assets to such a large detour, just to get a tiny number of reinforcements.

Wellsia or Atnaia could. Me I gotta finish my military factbook before I can join.

[Upper Norseland]

Atnaia, probably not, since they're going to be leading the invasion of Taziristan later on once the Skaitsyans blow the whistle and the League confirms that my people are being genocided. Wellsia, didn't they say they were practically obsolete?
