What sort of funding do the rebels have? Although they will have one thing we may never get - local support.
On the other hand, look up http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocellulose
nano cellulose - cheap to make, stronger than Kevlar.
Basically wood pulp stitched back together.
Ish.
I can't explain it very well, but added to conventional body armour, it looks brilliant once we get funding.
And profitable...

Great news Guys. We found Oil, In space.

Apparently the horsehead nebula (Orion) contains many cyclopropenyl molecules, also known as a main compound of oil.

I have a similar idea. Can any interesting minerals be found in asteroids?

Yes. I'm pretty sure we were planning to do that, though. I know I was...

Guys
You guys
I found something
A trial program to see how we'll do
It will be out in 2 years
There should be a group for this
Just picture it...Bay12, running rampant across the game world.
It's beautiful.

They don't have much local reports. They're mainly funded by neighbouring countries (though said countries deny that) and by the diamond mines and cetera they control. On average, they are better equiped than the Governement army.

Alright, so...we need the support of bigger countries and more profitable things than diamond mines. Let's...find somewhere that the winners are weaker than us!

I repeat, nano cellulose is cheap, useful, and profitable, without much competition. All we need is around 1.7million to get a factory set up...

I re-iterate. there are 3000 rebels. If that is indicative of our chances, we could actually do this with a small hired army. I mean, those are rebels, and their kicking ass. The importance of training.

If that is as awesome as it looks, yes. I have to say, as a poor person, that looks like one of the few games that make me want it so bad I do end up buying it, somehow, with my often equal to zero moneys.

There's 3,000 of them and 10,000 (tops) of us. Even if every single one off us went charging into battle with whatever weapon we could afford after pooling our money to fly over there, they'd just need to kill four of us undertrained nutjobs for each of their heavily motivated troops with their superior armaments.

That is, if we manage to invade the right Kongo. Bay12's military capabilities are rather untested at the moment.

Hey! Don't insult my geographic capabilities!
If the budget could stretch to an atlas, maybe this would be easier.

I could donate one, though it still shows Yugoslavia.
