The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

@HaelTin fighting a Blitzkrieg?
Wow, I've gotta see this.

@Willy Vereb

To be fair, they also have a flamethrower tank.
Gotta burn them infidels somehow.

*gasp* Curse my mouth! I've revealed too much!

@HaelWow, in many aspects your military doctrine is similar to mine.
Including the Blitzkrieg idea.
Granted, I expect my Blitzkrieg strategy to fail against Tin since they are the most apt comparison to the WW2 Soviets here.
At least when it comes to this thing.

Anyways, I may be some help to develop your army. You can either add me to this discussion or continue on a different PM channel.

@Willy Vereb

@CycloneWatch out, we have an elf trying to sneak in on our Top Secret Military!

Actually, Tin man said he's going for blitzkrieg strategy as well. It seems to be popular for this RP.
Kinda makes me wonder who will actually be trying to fight long-term battles :D

Oh well, further quiz time!

@Hael, can you talk to us about your military?
I know, you haven't even wrote that part yet. That's why it's such a mystery!
Today is the military roll. We can quiz for other topics later.

@Willy Vereb

I've been working on it with Cyclone (our militaries are linked) and this is what I've got:

WARNING: Long

Alright, I haven't forgotten about The Sun Will Never Set. I'm writing a crappy post about the religious tension and Mulspan's return letter as we speak.

But I've been thinking about weaponry and I have some ideas:

From 1911 to the 1980's, one of the #1 standard pistols of the great U.S. of A was the Colt M1911. It's a good semi-auto, for the time. I don't know if you've noticed, Tin Man, but every single time I've mentioned a Kaliab using a pistol it has been the Colt M1911.

It would be the standard side-arm of KalMea.

Colt M1911

Next up is the one and only Shock Tank (name a work in progress, gimme a few months and I may come up with one). KalMea may be a very industrialized, modern nation, but it is not one to attempt marching in and slaying everybody one by one. The fighting style of KalMea is basically Blitzkrieg (that's German for lightning war). A quick definition of this war-tactic, in case you aren't familiar:

"A German term for 'lightning war,' blitzkrieg is a military tactic designed to create disorganization among enemy forces through the use of mobile forces and locally concentrated firepower. Its successful execution results in short military campaigns, which preserves human lives and limits the expenditure of artillery."

It's all about running in, shooting like nuts for five seconds, and running out. KalMea is a master of the hit-and-run; we won't stay to fight, but we will sucker punch you and get out before the crap hits the fan

As a result, the KalMean military will reflect that focus on speed. So, without further ado, I would like to propose a mega-super-fast Light Tank that can be manned by only one or two Kaliabis, and used to mow down any forces before retreating.

I propose a tank based off of the fastest WW2 tank in history: the Soviet BT-7, which had a top speed of 86 MPH. That seems a bit much for this RP, however, so I'll limit it's speed to 68 MPH.

Soviet BT-7

All hail Mother Russia

Alright, the morning has come and almost passed, so here are a few more of my death machines:

The MP40 was useful to Germans fighting in close corners and cities, street blocks, and the such. Areas where you're not going to be using something built for a distance, but you're not so close as you might be indoors. KalMea is likely to go for places of the such, and this gun is often considered to be one of the "great Submachine guns of the war". I might name it differently, but I'm likely to have some sort of gun strongly reminiscent of the German MP40.

MP40

Also, KalMea may occasionally use some sort of light rifle. I'm thinking along the lines of the U.S. M1 Carbine, which was praised for it's lightness and ease-of-use but criticized for it's weaker fire-power.

M1 Carbine

I have two more Tank ideas, one for anti-infantry and one for anti-tank.

The Anti-infantry tanks will resemble the German Panzer IV. It was a medium tank, so it will remain useful without (I hope) compromising the speed I'm looking for.

Panzer IV

The Tank Destroyer will only be used sparingly, when we don't have the element of surprise on our side and the enemy is superior vehicle-wise.
Based off of the German light Tank Destroyer, Hetzer

It even mentions the Mighty Cottage!

@Cyclone

By the way, how long before Mighty Ialu ascends to be a Mighty Demigod, so Kraken can notice him and lead to some Mighty Interest...or at least some Mighty Notability?

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Machine gun nest? Guessing..... a metric shit ton, not to be confused with the standard form of measurement
As for the tank.... zero. Explosive shells won't do shit. Now if they were AP, then we might have a different story.

Also waiting for a certain @Mihndar to post...

@Skepic

Waiting for a certain @Hael to post...

The Mighty 100th IC post is about the Mighty Ialu...what a mighty coincidence

Whoops, I'm not the peep for that job xD

@Frettzo

Eh, I'll just say that's how it works, because screw physics, I'm the ocean.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

Sure. I studied Color Theory, so I know a bit about Light. Mainly you want incandescent light, that's the one that can be decomposed (?) into colors and which emits heat. Incandescent light can be the one from the sun or the one you get from yellow lightbulbs. You get the idea? Biral could easily make incandescent light.

@Frettzo

I don't know what any of that means, but if I can have cities coated in blue and amber light, than I'm happy.

Undasis could just use their inherent Godly powers to introduce UV shining Rocks.

Or turn the light into sunlight. Etc.

@Rtron

*looks at @Frettzo*
...we need to work on that biral fast.

Speaking of which, I'll PM you for that tomorrow, probably, after I finish this collab.

<Snipped quote by Hael>

The monsters only die/don't spawn in sunlight. :p

@Rtron

Well, is there any way I can say the light works like sunlight? Because many of the Mer cities will be completely devoid of any sunlight. It will mean the Mer can't survive, and I may as well just let them die now.
