When Nations Collide - Yamatai (ClocktowerEchos) vs Yllendthyr (Willy Vereb)

@ClocktowerEchosI think you should be on the defensive since:
1.) My doctrine is a bit like Blitzkrieg. I am not so good at defending.
2.) You were the one taking back parts of the penisula during the second war, it's my turn to be on the offense

As for ratios, do you mean how many aircrafts and tanks one has?
Well, just pick any big WW2 nation not called the Soviets or America. See what is their force ratio is.
Or pick a specific WW2 battle and see what was the ratio of their forces.
That should be good enough. So long your numbers aren't insanely high I think it's good enough.
Remember this is early WW2 in terms of industry and such, even if tech wise our nations were closer to mid-WW2.

NRP Arena-style battles?

@ClocktowerEchosDone!

When Nations Collide - Yamatai (ClocktowerEchos) vs Yllendthyr (Willy Vereb)

Imperial Realm of Yamatai

Heavenly Empire of Yllendthyr

Semblance of Plot

1940, not content with owning only one half of the Grünwerk Penisula the Heavenly Empire Yllendthyr launched an all out attack against the Imperial Realm of Yamatai, beginning the Third Yamatai-Yllendthyr War. 1940 January 7, Yllendthyr is leading an assault against the Krugova Plains. This is just one of the numerous battles, yet it may change history!

Conditions

- This is a battle between ClocktowerEchos and Willy Vereb
- Both players using their respective nations from NRP called The Sun Will Never Set
- Army size for both players is set around the head count of 10,000
- Artillery, aircraft and vehiclular support are all included up to a reasonable ratio of forces
- Additional details will be discussed here in the OOC
- This is a prototype match testing the viability of such game. Judges are not required.

@Willy Vereb

Ahh, hmm...
So something like one side digs in and the other has to push through, I'm up for that.

Shall we make the RP first than discuss the details in depth there?

@ClocktowerEchos

Of course we should.
All RP threads have an OOC part.
We can also use the Characters portion to make our army list.

EDIT: I'm making it right now!

XD lol

I say that we use the same unit composition we had in that RP, just to keep things simple.
Battle size, let's try some 10k men for a field army.
As for the location, I'm thinking with normal ground forces supported by aircraft in a feild battle or some good old fashioned building-to-building urban city seige.

It should be noted that I'm actually kinda inept at writing battles for NRPs since well... most of them never lived long enough for it to really happen

@ClocktowerEchos

I am good with battles but for the same reason as you I got rather rusty with them as of late. If anything i am good at writing space battles with tactics which would make even Yang Wen-li green with envy. But good'ol WW2 style clashes? Been long. I may watch a few movies as a refresher

Anyways, 10k sounds about right. So say that's about the size of a small Division.
Unless you wish to play Stalingrad I suggest against urban combat. Those are pretty nasty anyways.
What about a large open plains akin to the battle of Kursk?

NRP Arena-style battles?

@ClocktowerEchosBTW, the name. How should we call this game?
I thought about a cheesy title like "When Nations Collide - Yamatai (ClocktowerEchos) vs Yllendthyr (Willy Vereb)"
Sounds good enough?

NRP Arena-style battles?

@Willy Vereb

If you want we can try it out with Yamatai and Yllenthir (excuse my spelling). Just as a test run to see how viable this crazy little idea really is

@ClocktowerEchos

You're on!
Say, shall it be that past war we only mentioned before?
You know in the 1920s. Or would that be unfair?
Well, you said that no plot is required so let's not wack our brains over it.
How large of a force you wish to feature here?
What is the battlefield would be like?
The rest would be easy to determine after it.
EDIT: Yllendthyr. I typed it down so many times that i no longer need to copy-paste it (I used to do that for almost the entire length of the RP).

NRP Arena-style battles?

I mean, army size will likely be determined by equivalent time period, so I figure that is what folks should figure out first.

@Zugzwang

Ethos worded it as we'd be using our NRP nations from previous games, say my dwarves from Zwölfberge against Cyclone's Ard Tribe.
Also there's a thing that wars aren't just one big battle. Well, they usually aren't.
You have numerous different battles and we'd be just playing out one of the many. There are both big and small battles so establishing the size of the forces is important and has next to no relation to what age we're in.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

No need to ask.

It can.

@Rilla

Thank you!

NRP Arena-style battles?

@ClocktowerEchosSure, why not?
Do you have any faction in mind?
We need to discuss the army size stipulations and such but otherwise I'm game.
I would rather not use dice rolls and other game systems, though. Maybe later. For now good'ol common sense and honesty should do.

I'd ask @Rilla whether such games can be hosted in the Arena section or should we do it in the Casual, though.
People had similar ideas in the Arena interest threads before.

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

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

That I can get behind.

@Voltus_Ventus

Alright, I can't wait for when your RP starts.
I talked with the two players and they are eager, too.
