Metal on Metal [WW1 Steam/Diesel Punk]OOC(OPEN)

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

We have no intention of joining this war. Your war is pathetic and pointless. We are not neutral, we are pacifistic - we are willing to die to prevent more war and to save millions of lives - but there is no point joining at this point. We'll just make a long war longer.

Die to prevent war? So we can just...demand some borderlands then?

Don't try to exploit our kindness.

Working on a post right now, but just so you know, I'm not good at numbers, and will leave that out for now. I figure I can always edit it in later.

NS Name: Regnum Trinitatem
Nation Name: Bogd Khanate of Mongolia
Informal Nation Name: Mongolia
Flag:
Faction: Entente
Leader: Bogd Khan
Government: Theocratic Oligarchy
Territory:
Main Language: Mongolian
Tech (steam or diesel): Diesel
Historical army size: 6150 (2500+ Aircraft) (3000+ Cavalry) (40 Artillery) (610 Infantry)
Historical navy size: 64 Carrier Airships (Landlocked)

Machine ideas: Mongolian Aerial Cavalry
Because of their small numbers, the Khan has decided that standard cavalry would be ineffective for the Mongolian army. Since 1911, the Steel Horde has been retrained some of their cavalry into an aerial force. Specializing in unit-based tactics rather than solo dog-fighting. Using their Russian loan to purchase Biplanes from Italy before the war. The planes have been modified for maximum functionality within the limited budget. Built into the crafts are oxygen tanks to allow pilots to ascend to high altitude and crude electric heaters, sometimes prone to catching fire.

One Lewis Gun is attached to each aircraft, synchronized with the rotation of the rotors and within reach of the pilot. Most of the planes carry six small bombs with three underneath each wing. And the windshield is usually reinforced with iron, leaving enough space for visibility.

In addition to planes, the cavalry is equipped with a fleet of Italian airships. Modified heavily to store up to 16 biplanes in their holds. The ships unfortunately can hardly do much else other than carry planes and fuel and come completely unarmed. However the presence of the ships do mean that the Mongolian Air Cavalry never has to touch the ground. The ship's entire upper deck is a landing strip for planes, in which after landing they are lowered into the hold of the ship for refueling and maintenance.


Motorized Cavalry
The Mongolian cavalry of old has adapted to the modern era. Rather than rely on horses of flesh and blood the new cavalry relies on steel and gasoline. With a surplus purchase of motorcycles from Italy, the cavalry has completely motorized itself. Though horses remain on standby. Each bike is modified with off-roading capability with healthy suspension and off-road tires. The gas tanks of the vehicles are significantly armored for battlefield capabilities.

Each bike comes with a Madsen Light Machine Gun. The gun is kept beside the handlebars for easy reach of the rider. Often the rider is armed with a sidearm for close engagements. The rider is almost always armored in heavy, painted steel plating over the most vulnerable parts of their body. Though their is significant weakness on the joints to allow for movement on their bike.

When the cavalry is dispatched to battle the bikes are often accompanied with a sidecar with a lightly armored gunner, usually armed with heavy explosives and a light-machine gun.

Ok. Just make sure the aircraft don’t just become unkillable god hordes.

Otherwise accepted!

The year is 1914. Archduke Franz Ferdinand has just been shot while touring Sarajevo by a Serbian extremist. War is now weeks away. Most leaders think this looming war will be over by Christmas.

But this war is unlike any other.

New machines are about to make this war a living hell. Massive steam powered blimps that eclipse the sun drop bombs on diesel fueled land ships that plow through men like a knife through butter. One thing is ever present however. That thing is the ever present smog of war that could suffocate a man if left too long in it. One thing is certain, this war isn’t some small machine aided scuffle...

This is a World War

Welcome to metal on metal! This is a steampunk/dieselpunk RP set in World War 1. This rp starts on June 28th, 1914. The day Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. However, the key difference is that this World is a retro-futuristic one. Most of the Entente and Central powers use either steam or diesel based machines. The aim is to have a fun War scenario with wondrous and powerful machines.

Rules:

1. What OP says goes, however, if you feel strongly enough about something, friendly arguments are encouraged.
2. Make sure to pass machines through OP in the OOC before you introduce them into the IC.
3. Be civil, don’t be rude or impolite.
4. Don’t speak for other countries(example: loses, breakthroughs, etc…). If there’s a dispute, you can ask OP to settle it, ut understand that sometimes you need to let the other side win.
5. Mostly historical sides, but I’ll get into that later.
6. Each day is about 1 week, but time can be adjusted if needed.
7. No god modding
8. The map is the same as real life in 1914. The only difference is the tech.
Have Fun!

The Great Powers:

Entente(Steampunk):

The United Kingdom
The French Republic
The Russian Empire
Serbia(not major but has to be Entente for obvious reasons)

Central Powers(Dieselpunk):

The German Empire
The Austro Hungarian Empire
The Ottoman Empire

Wildcards(Can choose their side and can choose either steam or diesel):

The United States of America
Italy
Japan
Spain

All other countries can also choose their sides, but those are the ‘important’ countries. I plan on starting when the six major powers are all taken.

Retalia, the Virgin Islands are so far Danish territory, but if you join the Central Powers maybe you can conquer them.
