No, you get 300 bucks. As in, male deer.

That has to be worth more than $300, right?

@Mihndar

Too bad Hael still needs to catch them by himself, though.

Since the EU nation in the interest check has commented, you need to talk to @Durandal about it as he did claim a large amount of Europe. Just PM him and you should be able to reach an agreement.

@MetalLover

Well, part of the background story would be that in the 2020s a certain ultranationalist element came into power and they quit the EU.
So I hope @Durandal won't mind me taking some minor nations from the East.
And because Hungary was used to be an unimportant nation they survived the burnt of WW3, especially since they were no longer part of the EU and even considered quitting NATO before the thing fell apart on its own (I suppose that's what happened prior to the war).
After the war they found the last descendant of House Arpad and used him as the figurehead to recreate the Kingdom of Hungary from the past.
That's the rough story of things.

Slightly Post-Modern, I have said earlier in the thread what we shall be using for military. Early Lasers, Prototype Power Armours, and Advanced Versions of Modern Weapons of Tanks, Planes, Boats, and Guns.

@MetalLover

That's far better than expected.


EDIT: I'll alo claim a considerable portion of central/eastern europe.
Neo Hungaria will span over the same borders it had in the 19th century and maybe even further.

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

I may create a neo kingdom of hungaria.:)
BTW, what are our tech like?
Suppose it's stuck somewhere in the alternate 2015 state?

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

@CirusArvennicusWe leave to battle in 13:30, I don't think we have time for a side quest to retrieve a lance.
Also chances are high that the Lance was already taken by the imperials as a valuable asset and sits in one of their warehouses nearby.
Attacking an imperial base with a single squad goes beyond suicidal.
You may wish to change this IMO.
Or wait for Lennon but I think the general response would be similar.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Man, I expected to see some reaction to Kyo's presence or generally anything yet all I hear is the off-handed remark about there being two swordsmen.
Do people have difficulty to imagine my character? Because somehow the lack of reaction seems to boil down to that.
There's a relatively short boyish soldier armed with a sword literally as large as himself.
I expected comedic shock, disbelief, skepticism and other reactions.
Not this "yay we have a new guy even though he uses a sword" kind.
I feel my fun entrance got ruined. Hope this is going to be my last disappointment.
There's no point to play with a slightly over the top character if others don't recognize it.
"Oh here's this dude with the giant sword. Totally common sight in every militia."

Anyways, why are there any shootings nearby?
This is a damned military base.
If a lone imperial soldier comes close he's dead meat.
And how did she arrive here this fast?
Again, if the imperial soldier shot her from anywhere close to the base then we have the worst security in all fiction.
Conclusion, we shouldn't have heard any gunshots and Regan had to walk for many hours and escaped the imperial soldier a long time ago.

Seriously, I took @CirusArvennicus's post as that happened way in the past, during a previous battle.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

@Raven_OperativeHave her run to the barracks with a toast in her mouth.
Apologize to Harold senpai for not showing up in time and there we go.
Perfect.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Anyways I'll wait for a few reactions to Kyo then I post, too.

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

@Willy Vereb

Tin and KalMea have a sort of supply truck/troop carrier that we were going to say was also designed to tow along those AA cannons. I might still keep the .88 inspired things, but anti-aircraft mounts on vehicles isn't a bad idea either.

But keep in mind that most people have airships rather than little planes. I'm thinking specialized units that shoot dumb rockets into the sky would be really helpful. A slow moving blimp-thing could be devastated by a few teams hiding under trees and shooting missiles up at its balloon.

@Cyclone

The problem is that the said blimps will also be rather high up in the skies. At least most types will.
So something like the good'ol Acht-Acht would be better fit for this purpose.
Missiles are technically light and easy to use but hardly reliable at such ranges.
They make sense for aircraft because it saves weight for the same stopping power but they are kind of expensive and limited compared to artillery.
Also some airships are heavily armored here. Missiles won't have the same armor penetration as a cannon shell.
They have better range, cheaper ammo, more consistent fire rate and more versatile loadouts.
Bonus the fact you can use the AA cannon as a makeshift anti-tank artillery.
So I say the same as I previously did, stay with the cannons.
They do a far better job.

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

Tin has officers and such and central command. They actually have a lot of officers. Granted these are almost entirely nobles which means they might not be the best commanders, but a noble general is usually a better choice than some uneducated commoner. It's also still a meritocracy. Nobles don't just buy their rank like in the British empire.

When I elaborate on my military I'll let you decide if it's really Blitzkrieg. It might not be of the trus/conventional sort, but I felt that the word is a fairly good way of describing their mindset concerning tanks and such.

@Cyclone

I meant government buildings, logistics bases , forward headquarters and such.
Of course you have a working leadership and your soldiers can group up in camps.
But that's not the point.

Anyways, during early WW2 the world had two prevailing standard doctrines.
Light tanks that focus on cheapness, speed and range while sacrificing all else.
And infantry tanks that were heavy, lumbering but because of this they can allow to mount more armor and firepower.
Not many nations were making actual "fighting tanks" prior to WW2 and these became the mainstay type just a few years later.

So yeah, of course from the two styles the light tanks fit Tin the most. BTW, given the fact your future enemies have air superiority I would suggest scrapping the enclosed turret for AA mounts. This would give you a chance to suppress the enemy's air power while a well-designed open top offers decent protection for anything but what comes from directly overhead. I don't say make all your tanks open-topped AA, but having a considerable portion of them this way can give you an advantage.
Sure, they are more risky than enclosed turrets and they are a horrible choice for urban warfare. But aside from that it may give you an edge to deal with the massive airborne offensive.
