Sorry, Thanas. Steve's kinda got a point. :/

Like I said, I never accepted Kamchatka back and it was never finalized in the world maps. Well, the dense population certainly changes my plans. A little bit. Kamchatka is useless for a lack of railway connection. Pretending otherwise is just foolish. Have you considered Russia having built a rail...

Afghanistan is roughly a 2 in population at best, but it would very much be in-character to put the spare point from a lower population into a higher SML.

Why, you ask?

Because Mudjahideen.

Just to be fair, I want to warn Beowulf in advance that a war between the USSR and Manchuria will probably happen anyhow, almost regardless of his actions. The term of this war is not set, however - that means it could start this year, next year, or any following year of the inter-war (pre-WWII) pe...

Nordic Union - Q1 (Winter), 1925 525ibp Navy - 170ibp 1x Frederik VII-class superdreadnought - 48ibp (48kt*1=48kt) (launching Q1 1927, commissioning Q1 1928) 2x Revenge II-class dreadnought - 66ibp (33kt*2=66kt) (launching Q1 1927, commissioning Q1 1928) 4x Hawkins-class heavy cruiser - 40ibp (10kt*...

I'd love to see Israel actually fight itself out of Byzantine and Egyptian control and into independence.

I had an idea that perhaps Scandinavia and Germany had fought a somewhat Western Front-like conflict on the Jutland peninsula at some point (perhaps around 1900-1905), but given the prevailing goodwill between the two nations because of their strong trade ties that seems to be inappropiate. Perhaps ...

Okay, posted the demands. If I misspelled the name of a country of someone, please PM me. Some of you did not give official names iirc, so I just used what I thought was sensible. No offence is meant, just PM me and I'll quickly correct it. I'll actually be changing my nation's name to 'Nordic Unio...

Order of Battle of the Nordic Empire As of: Q3 1925 Population: 75,000,000 (70M in Denmark/Norway/Sweden, 1.4M in Iceland, 3.5M in Vinland/Markland, about 50K apiece in Svalbard and Greenland) Mobilization Pool: 12,000,000 (Infrastructure 4 + Economy 4 = 16%) ARMY: Total Soldiery: 3,600,000 ({12M x...

It looks good, but I'm curious in a nonhostile fashion as to the composition of your 'tank armada'.

Disregard that. I missed your breakdown on my first pass through.

I was thinking that Portugal doesn't use as much integrated artillery support as other nations do* and thus has dedicated artillery divisions. These divisions are rarely fielded as a large unit however, and instead are attached to infantry or tank divisions. This has the disadvantage of infantry co...

Naval engineering often enters a stasis period when it re-evaluates the performance of earlier designs (example: US Battleship construction). According to my plan for the older Scandinavian warships, there's a five-year gap where they didn't build anything new because they figured they were secure ...

This was based, roughly, on the Revenge. I'm certain I screwed up the armor somehow.

The Scandinavian Union's point distributions are as follows. Population: 3 Home Territory: 4 (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Gotland, Aland, Bornholm) Colonial Territory: 3 (Iceland, Svalbardia, the Faroe Islands, Labrador, Greenland*) Industry: 5 Economy: 4 Infrastructure: 4 SML: 3 Naval Focus: 4 Army Fo...

As per Steve's suggestion, I will be playing as the parliamentary-monarchist Union of Scandinavia, based on the historical Kalmar Union and the Scandinavist movement of the nineteenth century, not unlike what Mahan had planned. Scandinavia's territorial claims encompass the following, and are approv...

Fantastic. I still don't want you to be a mod. And no one made you mod, either by consensus(like Steve) or by Vote. You just appointed yourself. Traditionally in forum games, he who makes the game's ruleset and does all the work of setting it up is the mod. So you're absolutely right, I appointed m...

Czexh has not expressed anything that leads me to conclude that he would be a good mod. I am all in favor of Steve and Shep Shady anyone else being mod. You do realize that Steve and I both go over everything we do with the other? That I will, in fact, be supervised by Steve? That if you don't like...

I'll wait for the rules to be done, although I do have a problem with your self-appointment to mod. While I do appreciate the work you have done/are doing, you haven't exactly showed yourself to be a reasonable player in the past. I would much prefer it if the two additional mods were chosen by maj...

I am going to go 5 for it so not to worry. I am only mentioning it first as I personally think I will be fucked over timezone wise and get denied China just because I had to sleep during the time someone claimed it. I know your trying to be fair but I just think I am going to crap luck. If you're g...

I know its hard as said but as said, its a tough thing to sort out. I respect that. I just hate the idea of being denied a country because I have to have a life and have to sleep at some time. I have a fair idea on what I want to do with China ready to go so its not as if I am just keeping China ju...

I'm starting to wonder if FCFS is really a good idea. It prevents claim disputes (posts have time & date), but it's pretty harsh, cause it'll screw people out of the country they came up with a concept just because someone else claimed it as part of their empire.

The claims thread will be first-come, first-serve in the name of fairness. If it helps, unified China would be a 5 on the Home Territory scale. 4 if you don't have Manchuria, or perhaps lack Mongolia & Tibet. Taiwan, for the record, is too small to actually affect the territory score of a nation...

Now that we have settled on a time period, I would say it's time to move on to other decisions. Such as the Mod issue, whether we want new ones? How many we want? I would suggest two additional ones, and Steve. And also, I think it's time we start claiming countries. Slow down. At the moment we're ...

I shall use real weapons or real weapon projects as usual, there's a vast multitude of them to be considered. The same advice goes to all who find it too much trouble to use Springsharp or some other design software. I fully expect to see something of yours named Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya or Potemki...

If you guys really don't want to use Springsharp, don't use it. But Steve (as senior mod) and I (as rulesguy and assistant) will be going over your stuff when you post it and if something looks like it isn't right, we'll point it out in as nice a way as possible...unless you try to ignore it, in whi...
