Looks good, will all these forces be in the field from the beginning or is this like the total amount you plan to introduce?

Eventual.

I'll start out with the Ford-class and a few Arleigh-Burkes and eventually, the rest will be called in.

[Shield of Baal]

I got a problem most my army is militia?

[Revolutionary Proletarian Soviets]

I'm onboard for the plot as outlined by Thebes.

I will work up an ORBAT for the forces I commit to Azerzetnia and/or Oetzaria but initially at least my main on-the-ground presence will be advisors inbedded in Azerzetnian military forces, and will be supporting the two aggressor powers by supplying arms and supplies.

[Romanziun]

APPLICATION

Nation name: Republica Roial da Romanziun
Government type: 'Royal Republic', a Constitutional Monarchy, with a right-wing political climate
Economy type: Free Market
Leader's name: Murezzan VI (Current King); Adan Caratsch (Prime Minister)
Language: Romansh
Population: ~50,000,000
Describe your military's performance: The Armada Romanziun is mostly untested in large scale, 'regular' conflicts, with the most experienced branches of the Army being the more irregular Schandarmaria and the Truppas Colonial, who have seen alot of combat in the Romansh colonies, but are too small in size and mostly organized and trained for assymetrical combat to make a significant difference in symetrical combat. Other than that, Romanziun's lack of a Blue Water Navy and a Long Range Air Force make it weak without allies.
Would you say that you are rising, at a peak, or facing decline?: Romanziun is somewhere in between rising and facing decline. On the one hand, there is constant conflict and civil strife both domestic and in the colonies, on the other hand, the conflict was worse at former points and the economy is at an all time high.
How does your country get involved in this war?, What is your take on the premise for this RP?  Any suggestions?:

Romanziun practices 'Modern Slavery' of sorts in it's colonies, mostly based around bad wages, debt and bad working regulations. While it does seem easy to have Romanziun just be a part of the Rival Alliance, it is also still democratic and their is a fairly sizeable amount of people opposing the 'Modern Slavery'. I think it would be best to have it be a 3rd Party ('neutral') country at first, with all sides trying to gradually influence it in one of the more 'extreme' political directions...

Sounds good, you can be on the sidelines initially and then slowly immerse yourself.

If it's not very organized you can just omit the details, you should write something up however if later you decide to take the initiative.


Give me like a week or so and I'll create the OP for the IC thread

Ah right yeah that seems fair.

Baalian Armed forces

Standing official army
500 Tanks
100 BMP 2s
100 major artillery pieces
2000 infantry

the rest is small scale militia who have armed themselves with varying weapons of soviet design.

[The Batavia]

Ok, I'll get my list up sooner or later.

[Erythrean Thebes]

I hope nobody feels confused waiting for this, I am busy but I started writing the OP today and I will work at it hard tomorrow, it may get done by the end of this weekend. Sorry, almost there!

[Libraria and Ausitoria]

No worries from my end.

This is a standard Ausitorian Battle Fleet, but I should probably clarify that in view of what I can see of the likely plot, I am minded to think it unlikely Ausitoria would get militarily involved at all, unless in the humanitarian interest, especially as there are always slavers to try to eradicate from the high seas and trade routes to patrol...

43rd Battle Fleet

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=427688

The OP is posted for the IC thread, everybody can start off synopisizing their geopolitical situation and anything else they want to reveal, and there is an entree for Baal and the Soviets to RP diplomatic responses. And either of you can control aspects on the ground of this subcontinent to elaborate the disposition of the armies and governments and stuff.

Additional note: what do we want to call this war? Is it too early to say? The thread is again named the Theban War but perhaps a different name captures it better?

[Technologist Communes]

And by the way, can I ask you a little question:

Are allies (Actual players) allowed? Because I have like, 7+ in this one big organization and they're probably all too happy to join my nation in a big "Mercilessly Mutilating the Enemy then Feeding their Appendages to Hungry Dogs that'll Bite off their Vital Organs After Eating their Arms and Legs Festival" if that ever happens. Can they join in straight away, or do they need to fill a form first like I did?

I guess diplomacy does not require a sign-up, but if they decide to fight then please have them describe their forces and it would be best if they comprised a unit to themselves, so to speak

Take your time, just when you send forces into the field

[Altpeak]

I’d definitely be interested in participating in this RP. The way it currently seems to be shaping up, with the conflict between a Communist power and a Capitalist power, suits my nation down to the ground. The primary variant on the Communist ideology in Altpeak is that of the “long war on capitalism”. The idea is that the state must prioritize the spread of the revolution, and by extension the armed forces, above else. As part of this, Altpeak frequently fosters communist revolutions in capitalist nations and props up struggling communist nations in order to make sure that these nations don’t backslide into capitalism.

In addition, one of the frequent punishments given to criminal offenders within Altpeak is unpaid hard labour for a certain period of time. While the official reasoning behind this is so that they can repay their debt to society, it’s effectively slave labour. Another frequent punishment, generally for more violent crimes, is assignment to a punishment battalion within the army, who function as both slave labour, digging trenches, laying down railroads, carrying supplies etc. and cannon fodder, not a punishment I imagine the democratic nations would approve of.

Nation Name: The Proletarian Republic of Altpeak

Government Type: One party communist dictatorship

Economy type: Centrally Planned

Leader’s name: Orol Marx

Language: Multiple, the principal languages of government being Дорныжык(Dornyzhyk), the most widely spoken language in the nation, and Νεσσιλι(Nessili, called Нежила, or Nezhila, in Dornyzhyk) a language from the Anatolian branch of the Indo-European family widely spoken in the nation’s south. I can give more information if you wish.

Population: 576,433,801.

Describe your nation’s military performance: The vast majority of the Proletarian Republic’s units and forces haven’t been involved in a major war against a near-peer adversary in several decades. The units which have seen action are the Special Forces, Airborne Troops, elements of the Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Their performance has been seen to be on par with their competitors in other leading militaries of the world, although the Air Force and Fleet Air Arm are noted to use cheaper and less effective precision guided munition and missiles of all sorts to their peer-competitors.

The rest of the nation’s armed forces exercise for large scale war regularly due to the tensions between the Proletarian Republic and Royalist Altpeak and are on par with other leading militaries in terms of training. However, the privates and lower ranking officers of the ground troops are noted to be lacking in personal initiative compared to their adversaries in the other leading militaries. In addition, the Armed Forces conventional arms use cheaper and simpler to use equipment than their competitors, with the high command aiming to offset this inferiority in quality of equipment with greater numbers(the Proletarian Republic’s armed forces are 8,995,000 strong).

The Proletarian Republic’s military also maintains biological, chemical and nuclear capabilities.

Would you say that you are rising, at a peak, or facing decline?: The Proletarian Republic reached the peak of its economic and military power a decade or so ago, in the early 2000s. At the moment, it’s beginning to enter into a period of decline caused by a slowing of its economic growth and the resulting increase in the costs of maintaining its military’s at its present level as well as helping prop up other communist states where necessary. The population however remains almost fanatically committed to Communism and the “long war on capitalism”.

How does your country get involved in this war?: I would imagine Altpeak would be allied to the Revolutionary Proletarian Soviets prior to the war, as the two are both relatively large communist powers and the Altpeakian ideology of the long war on capitalism necessitates cooperation between all communist powers.

What is your take on the premise for this RP? Any suggestions?: I like the premise of this RP, can’t personally see anything wrong with it although I would like to ask whether the idea is a limited scale war, as has become more common in the modern era, or an all out war?

Misc: See writeup above.

[Technologist Communes]

You do realize that I'm in the RP, and so are you, and we're allies, and in the setup we currently have planned, the Revolutionary Proletarian Soviets kinda want me dead under the justification that "he is of false communist! Also, land. Mineral-rich laand." And you're allied with the RPS.

[Altpeak]

Hmm. Well that puts Altpeak in an interesting predicament. Does it want to protect its alky the Technologist Communes? Or does it prioritise the war on capitalism? Or does it attempt to do both, possibly overstretching itself?

[-Republic of Vietnam-]

Is this roleplay still open?

It has most certainly piqued my interest. I am just asking to confirm afore I indite an order of battle, as of this point in time there is no confirmation that this roleplay has closed to more applicants.

[Erythrean Thebes]

It is open for now, the diplomacy is totally open to other players, just if you decide to deploy a force please summarize it with an ORBAT, thanks.
