Current I do not "brainrot". I brainferment so my brain will become even smoother and even more potent than before in its smoothness.

Sorry for my absence! A Volunteering position suddenly turned into a Volunteer Leadership position I was not expecting at all so things have been hectic.

Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards

With current refining abilities its 1.5-2.0 depending on the shell/use.

Greandes and mines tend to be on the smaller side towards 1.5
Smaller bombs and most artillery shells at roughly 1.75
Large shells for big guns and ship cannons and big bombs are at 2.0
@Willy Vereb
Oh christ, that's mildly threatening. Mildly XD

The Sakurite is why I'm fairly chill about your air crafts against me since I'm sending a lot of HEI up and each has a pretty big boom. Big booms and lots of booms tend to make pretty fireworks :3

Anyways, I'll start drawing up some numbers and wonder how the hell am I supposed to detail stuff on the map since I'm actually lacking MS Paint or PS. I have an idea tho...
Something else that's pretty important, how long have I stayed entrenched and would I know you're coming?

I'm going to say that I'm pretty well dug in and have heard bits and pieces of you being in the area but nothing saying "expect an attack here"

@Willy VerebAhh alright then, I'll restore my sheet to its more or less original state.
We'll be going in full force then I guess? :P

The idea of a hero units definately intrigues me, I'll look into that more.
Kinda sounds like warhammer, but I can totally roll with that.

As for the AA, if you send enough bullets up, you should in theory hit something by Yamatai's logic anyways.
And what if you can't hit it? Then clearly you aren't using enough bullets

We might also want to get cracking on the actual numbers of this whole thing and draw up battle plans.
Military

The Yamatai Military heavily stresses honor and loyalty with its troops, heavily indoctrinating them so they will fight to the death saying "death is only feared by the weak". The branches of the military are the Imperial Yamatai Army (IYA) consisting of all ground forces and the Imperial Yamatai Navy (IYN); the air force is divided between the two of them but for official purposes is called the Imperial Yamatai Air Control (IYAC).

Yamatai's military excels at machine guns/AA guns and shells, having it been a huge focus after a humiliating defeat by the hands of the Yllendthyr Air Force. Overall, many weapons are well balanced with a focus on easy creation and cleaning but are also multi-use, able to take many role should the need arise. Yamatai's artillery, mortar and naval shells are unique in that they utilize naturally explosive Sakurite instead of gunpowder or other explosives. Depending on how it is refined/packed, it can have anywhere between a 30% to 60% larger blast than conventional explosives.

Standard troops will have six months of normal training and indoctrination plus that and additional two months of specialized training should they choose to pick a specialized role. It should be noted that they are given the choice to do so three month into their training so the last three months of normal training blends standard stuff with the basics of the role they picked.

Elite Infantry go through anywhere between a year to a year and a half of brutal training in the harshest locations.

Officers are hand picked from normal troops which show good aptitude of tactical sense and troop management who have served for at least year. From that they undergo five months of tactics and strategy with another three months of logistic and army management.

Yamatai infantry is meant to be versatile, able to take on many roles and are trained as such. However, just because a sniper can use a machine gun doesn't mean that he'll use it as well as a trained machine gunner. Armor wise has a similar notation of multi-use, namely in the lighter armored vehicles, while heavier vehicles are more in the "shock and awe" label. Yamatai doesn't use any larger airships or blimps of the sort, using only aircraft that are fast and maneuverable as they are rather superstitious about how the hell a balloon stays afloat (no one really told them a magic thing called lighter than air gases). This means that they tend to be light on armor and heavier aircraft have touchy engines.

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>My flying bombs are radio controlled.
You may want to rethink this whole honor thing fast.


Remember, I have some pretty damn good machine guns and AA after you whooped my ass with your air force in a previous engagement (if we're still counting that as canon). Yamatai learned quick to get better things to shoot at things that fly to the point we have enough Dakka to make orcs jealous. :P

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>No need for revisions to be in a new tab. Or hell, let's do that.
Let's make a separate post where we list the weapons and unit types. That way it may be less of a pain to backtrack info.

Also define what you mean by late war. Technically all my stuff are at best 1942 tech level if that. The rest are just the mithril and damn elves fault. When not staring at the Ymheodr's crotch-skull with religious awe they are actually quite decent engineers.


I'm saying things that would look more proper in like the 1944-1945. The Chi-Ni-Sugoi is an example, I don't see the Black Doom Turtle being around too early nor does the Exprimental Heavy SMG or semi-auto look right to me.

Ahh... the glorious crotch-skull, how longs its been since I've last seen yo-

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

*HERASY INTENSIFIES*
@Willy Vereb

Nah, Yamatai would see radio jamming as dishonorable and stuff

I'll most likely end up taking out some units and editing some others that would naturally seem more late-war than the others.
I'll be putting up a revised version of the IYA in the Chars tab soon.
That said, I'm also reminded I need to come up with commanders and generals. Don't think his holiness the Emperor would be on the frontlines quite like this.
<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>Well, that was your suggestion prior.
I think this is going to be messed up enough already, even without naval assistance.


So true, this will get messy XD

As of right now tho, do you see anything in the NSs which may require attention? As of right now I can see somethings on my end that require some balancing/edits.
