MT Realistic War Interest

[Asumbuoy]

I saw a thread for this a short while ago but the IC never took off so now I'm here to give it a second go.

Basically, what I want is for an Imperial nation to invade mines, since I have a defense force and not an offensive military I can't invade other countries. But, I don't want huge military's, I would like it to be something realistic, as in, something a real life country could support. I have a map of my region below, the capital cities are marked. It doesn't matter to me if I lose or win, so long as the RPing is good.

So, anyone interested?

My Map

[Aquitayne]

I'm interested. Could be good experience.

[Yauk]

I could the invader by bringing a small force of my own to invade.

[Izarius]

If their is any genocide, racism, or capitalism vs communism involved, I'd be interested in getting directly involved militarily. If it is simply an imperialist war against a capitalist country, I could send support (food, oil, ammunition, medical supplies) to the attacked country.

Of course, this is only if there is actual RP'ing and not noobishness.

[Shanix]

I'd be happy to join (With a small force, mind you, I won't even begin to try to mobilize even an eighth of my military) in, if you want to fight a bigger country (Because realistically, a larger country like mine would enjoy gobbling up yours )

It doesn't have to be just an Imperialist invasion, I would be willing to give a reasoning for the invasion. Maybe not genocide or racism but developing nuclear warheads I think would be good enough.

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, apart from China or India no country in the world has a population of anywhere near half a billion people never mind your 2 billion. For the purposes of this RP I'm looking for people who RP with a population of in and around or below 100 million.

[United World Order]

I'd be intrested to maybe not be the invader but be a nation that Militarly supports the invader

Want me to use my puppet? (Urgruya)

[Asumbuoy]

Fine with me.

Also, if anyone doesn't directly want to involve their country I would be willing to let someone RP as either a pro or anti invader rebel force inside my nation.

[NewLakotah]

I may be interested, depending on the circumstances.

[Zepplien]

I could join invaders, or defenders, whoever promises land to the Hegemony of Zepplien

Yeah, you can use it if you want. Do you have any military info for it?

[NewLakotah]

Oh, and I Rp with a population of 100 million.

[Shanix]

Want me to use my puppet? (Urgruya)

Yeah, you can use it if you want. Do you have any military info for it?

Military size is about 1.2 million. So invading force would be about, at the most, 95,000-200,000

[Asumbuoy]

Military size is about 1.2 million. So invading force would be about, at the most, 95,000-200,000

Alright, I'll accept that.

Do you need a reason for invasion or is conquest enough? If not I'll say I'm developing nuclear warheads or something along those lines.

---

I have an invading force now, no more requests. If anyone else wants to join you can RP as a rebel force or provide support for me or Shanix.

[Zeiffelheim]

I would be quite interested in RPing as a country coming to Asumbuoy's aid to defend against an imperialist invasion. My military is approximately 3 Million in number (though nearly half of that number are reservists and I would only be sending a few divisions, say 200,000 to 500,000 men).

3 million is way too much, even if you are just sending 200,000 men. I'm looking for something realistic, not million men armies.

...Uhmm...Let me check out your stats real quick...
High political rights? Oh no no no no no, that just won't do. The masses can't be trusted to elect their leaders. And look at all that land you got there, and not to mention all those resources. Land, Resources...This will be akin to Robert Conroy's 1901 (Where Germany invaded the US to stop them from getting big in the world, as well as get a lot of money and resources, and force them to be a smaller fleet).

Plus, I'm willing to loose. I seem to enjoy loosing, it makes me feel like I roleplay better.


On a side note, 200,000-500,000 people is a good sized invasion force, 2.4 milion (I believe) is the largest invasion force ever readied. But yeah, I'm going to just probably go 113,000 soldiers. Including Naval and Air Force, not just army.

[Po do]

Mind if I join?

[Asumbuoy]

I thought Germany done in in WW2 with their Soviet invasion, 3.9 million troops or near that.

Alright, I'll let you(Zeiffelheim) join, but with a maximum of 150,000 troops.

Mind if I join?

You can join, but as what?

Yes, 3.9 Million, but, remember, they only had to truck, train, and transport them over land. Crossing several hundred, even thousands of miles of open water is, to begin with, a very risky endeavor. Not to mention, it's a logistical nightmare. Crossing the oceans, with several thousand/hundred thousand men is like moving 4 million men across land. You're better off playing diplomacy.

[Zeiffelheim]

Thank you, that sounds quite reasonable.

True, land transport can be easier, but by the time the Allies were five days into Operation Overlord they had put over 325,000 men onto the beaches, landing approximately 150,000 men on D-Day alone. Twenty-four days in they had landed over 850,000 men, and by July they had sent over one million soldiers.

Granted, the greater the distance one must ferry the troops, the more difficult it will be. But this RP is set in MT, not the 1940s. We have much more sophisticated means of transport and communication now than we did back then. Essentially, if a one million man force can be transported across the English Channel in a little less than one month back in 1944, then I can probably get 150,000 men wherever they need to go in the present day.

[Lolzieristan]

What is your definition of "realistic", exactly? I'd be interested in joining, probably. And I have a rough sketch of my RP region's map, found here:

http://s1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/Lolzieristan/?action=view&current=StaniaMapv10.jpg
First off, with the exception of Shikaristan and That's Classified (which are no longer active), those are all my puppets...cuz I'm a pro.
Secondly, those blank countries on the left may become even more puppets, but if anyone wants the old Shikaristan and That's Classified plots, they can be claimed, so long as I can figure out how to edit that damn picture again...

[Asumbuoy]

When I say realistic, I mean that I don't want million men armies storming around. I'm looking for people to tone down their populations for this RP to something relative of that to a real life country, I RP with a pop of 72 million, even though my NS page says over 600 million. Also I'm looking to take in every aspect of what a modern day invasion carries, such as the cost, logistics, time and troop morale to name a few.

And Shanix, you can take a lot more than 113,000 personnel if you want. I have my active forces at 200,000 which includes a non combat research and development branch. Besides that there are volunteer local defense teams in larger towns and when the invasion starts I might call a small draft of another 50,000 troops.

[Freyden]

I'm interested in this, and I'm willing to work with my population being thirded/quartered for this RP. To what purpose will the invasion serve? Just imperialism or will there be a triggering event?
