Yeah, the Raj has a habit of doing that

[Madossa]

I'm surprised their government hadn't collapsed 108 years ago

Are you kidding? They've got ID chips embedded in their citizens (hence why all my spies got captured ). Their government won't collapse from within unless someone makes a power grab. And with that Viceroy, I ain't seeing it.

I also love how we're just roasting the Raj

[British St Helena]

What a roast lads, loving it! XD

Happily for everyone...the Viceroy is fine. A power grab was attempted and failed...badly, really, really badly.

But about the Raj collapsing 108 years ago, it did not collapse because the government did some 'questionable activates' involving independence activists.

I mean, they are basically a psychotic dictatorship.
Also, who's to say that the military doesn't get sick of the Viceroy's antics?

The military is enjoying the increased funding ect and officers are in place that are loyal to the Viceroy herself.

Well so much for democracy

The Raj WAS somewhat democratic before this Viceroy...but yep, democracy is dead now, unless she is replaced by the monarch (somehow) she's not going anywhere.

I hope my last post is fine for Rhyssua, if you need it edited just say-so.

[Semparia]

Man, I just did the math, the Raj has committed 700,000 to 1,050,000 troops, and thats' just the motorized infantry, unless division sizes are smaller than what I could find on division sizes on the internet.

[Rhyssua]

Could you at least not find all of them immediately? It'd be hard to get good sonar readings if you're in the center of a battle group, with propellors churning up water all over the place. Perhaps a few blips on sonar that's enough to get them suspicious, prompting you to send out your subs to investigate. If you're fine with that, of course.

Well done! However the entire force in total is actually around 730,000 personnel since motorised infantry divisions are usually smaller than traditional ones...(at least in the Raj anyways) either way it is a lot of people. The main reason such a large force is being sent is due to both dealing with the nuclear disaster and annihilating the separatists in a hammer blow. Of the force being sent 30 motorized infantry divisions and 5 support divisions are being sent to combat the nuclear fallout and radiation while the rest are dealing with the separatists. Making the actual fighting force 40 Motorized Infantry, 15 MBT and 10 Support.

Sure, should I find one first and then as the subs get closer find more? Also it is the submarines doing the tracking and relaying to the Conqueror, they are located on the flanks.

[Rhyssua]

Yeah that'd be fine. It's impossible to keep completely silent with a submarine but it'd be pretty difficult to find them if you aren't on the lookout for them.

I have ~100 troops committed (excluding spies, and that's only another 20 or so), 15 aircraft, and 5 subs. Until the surface ships (5) and fresh aircraft (20) arrive, that is.

Erk, I thought you had more personally. But the reason so many troops have been dispatched is that the Viceroy wants to make a show of force and end the conflict as quickly as possible. (the nuclear disaster is more of an afterthought for her, the military decided to dedicate the 30 divisions to the nuclear disaster.)

No, you really shouldn't like where this is going...to quote a certain excellent character from a very good show. "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

Question is do I bother to deploy my mostly outdated fleet?

Erm, I wouldn't put that in the 'good idea' box personally...The ships within the Taskforce are state of the art (except for some of the transports...they are not the most advanced ships in the world) I would advise that if you attempt an engagement with Raj forces you do it when they are on the ground instead of at sea. But I cannot stress enough that these troops are not meant for engaging your nations...they are just their for annihilating separatists…(whistling and twiddling thumbs)

[Semparia]

and committing only a few warcrimes. Honestly the only thing state of the art in the fleets is the carrier and the subs, everything else is just a deterrent to get close.

Don't forget the Battleship and the destroyers...
