Earth II [ARCHIVE THREAD #1]

[Drvarska]

Oh i knew that, and I was actually going to post a tread (when I'm done with my intro.) about procuring more eastern weapons (russian style) cause my soldiers are better trained in soviet and other eastern styled weapons. the Serbian company Zastava would be a company which I would consider.

The weapons procured in my military arsenal are mainly Zastava manufactured, I prefer the reliability of eastern small arms over the western NATO ones.

@Cotland

Yes, thank you for making that a clearer message with some good context behind it. I have studied modern history in the Cold War era (in fact I am doing a unit study on the wars within this era at the moment), but when it comes down to the fine details of logistics and ordnance with the NATO and Warsaw pact, that is where things get complicated. After reading Sirbirska's post I looked into the AK-47 series and noticed some researchers have often classed the cartridge of certain Russian assault rifles in NATO classification. I was unsure whether this was correct or not, so thank you for that correction. I am about to complete the final details of my military factbook which I would greatly appreciate your analysis. It is good to see others here specialised in military statistics and detail.

[Brydog]

My sea boundary is 25 miles.

[Sibirska]

The air force has 1200 maintenance personal for only a handful of jets and helicopters. But I'm not going to fix much about the navy or air force for anytime soon. It's something I really don't need to do, as long as people know about my fighting forces, its okay. I mean, when am I going to send my communications people to the front line to fight.

[Achesia]

So I am looking for a Multi Role Fighter to replace my Mirage F1's, anyone have a bid?

[Brydog]

Use F-16E or F-15E

Can i claim the northern regions of Italy, so like Lombardy, the Milan area and Venice? as well as the coast of the Aegean sea if its unclaimed? I saw how RomeW has Central Italy, but i couldn't tell from the map if they had the Abruzo province, but if they don't could i claim that as well?

Dont go by the map, go by the spread sheet. I believe Italy is Brinks now.

Use F-16E or F-15E

Hmmm, Both good choices, but I would also like to see if anyone had a NS-Original Design.

@Cotland

Yes, thank you for making that a clearer message with some good context behind it.

Funny coincidence. I'm doing my Bachelor of History's Thesis on the Cold War next semester in University, and joining the Royal Norwegian Navy come July, where I'll surely get access to even more classified information about the Cold War and our preperations against the Teddybear

So I am looking for a Multi Role Fighter to replace my Mirage F1's, anyone have a bid?

Use F-16E or F-15E

F-15E Strike Eagle isn't a multirole aircraft, you silly person. As for multirole fighters, I'm sure I could rustle up some Sabel multirole fighters (Cottish version of the SAAB Gripen-EF - much improved). I'll be willing to sell large quantities of them to anyone who want (assuming of course they're not hostile towards Cotland).

The air force has 1200 maintenance personal for only a handful of jets and helicopters. But I'm not going to fix much about the navy or air force for anytime soon. It's something I really don't need to do, as long as people know about my fighting forces, its okay. I mean, when am I going to send my communications people to the front line to fight.

Signals Corps personnel (which is the correct military term for "communications people") are often sent to the front lines to fight, as radio operators attached to platoon-level and up. A Signals Platoon will be organic to (read: permanently attached to) your manouver battalions, a Signals Company will be organic to the Brigade headquarters, a Signals Battalion would be organic to a divisional or corps headquarters, and so on. As for fixing it, suit yourself. I'm not planning anything nasty against you (at least not at the moment).

And my intro RP is concluded. Well, that took longer than I expected.

[Abruzi]

Here's my intro RP, i need a few nations to join on and either recognize or condemn the new nation.

I would have waiting for Lays go before I wrote up an entire first post. You may end up doing it again because Im not 100% sure Italy is open.

[Abruzi]

no, i switched to Malta, and if i have to do it again, i can just switch some of the names, places, and stuff.

[Achesia]

Ah true, guess that works.

[Klievan]

I'm gonna try to answer some stuff here.
TO THE NATION OF ABRUZI:

Can i claim the northern regions of Italy, so like Lombardy, the Milan area and Venice? as well as the coast of the Aegean sea if its unclaimed? I saw how RomeW has Central Italy, but i couldn't tell from the map if they had the Abruzo province, but if they don't could i claim that as well?

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28435

I claimed Greece, so that's a good portion of the Aegean coast.

I don't know what the spreadsheet says, but

First of all, I am not going to leave. Just thought I'd make that very clear.

However, I am going to give up all of my claims except for Vatican City and the Italian Province of Rome. I am giving the rest of Italy to the United States of Brink.

Those are RomeW's exact words on what's to become of Italy as of Page 51 of this thread.

Also, I claimed Malta a little bit ago, but I haven't RPed taking it yet and I'll let you have it if you really want it, though it's kind of a skimpy starting position.

TO THE NATION OF RUSSANLAND:

Claims: Kuwait, yep, just Kuwait. Hey, I've got oil!

*sigh* Please check the spread sheet and claims list.....

Ahh, no room anywhere. I'll edit it.

That's too light. Their is NO damn place that hasn't been claimed.

The Maleen Empire claimed Iraq and Kuwait, but if your looking in that area then I'm pretty sure that Iran (or at least most of it) is unclaimed.
