What conscription system to establish: Mandatory 2 years for all citizens, optional staying on.

What to request from Capus, as they are the only available way to get arms\training\equipment: Supply trucks, supply trucks, railcars, supply trucks. Basically: logistics logistics logistics. All the guns and all the training in the world mean something between jack and shit if they don't get fed or get bullets.

Rifles. Small arms. And possibly "advisers" to help us whip the army into shape, but I am hesitant on this.

What conscription system to establish:
 Mandatory service for all citizens for less than a year. Play it up as something to "instill discipline and patriotism in the youth of our nation."
What to request from Capus, as they are the only available way to get arms\training\equipment:
 Armies march on their stomachs. The best way forward for the Great Nation of Dhoi is to ensure a proper system of logistics. Thus, in order of priority, we need three things:
*A number of supply vehicles, in order to transport military supplies.
*The machinery required to construct a canning facility, in order to produce vital war rations.
*The machinery required to construct a munitions factory, in order to produce bullets for our guns.

Name of our armed forces:
 The Dhoian Army?

+1, but...

    ...make it a one year conscription. Covers a larger amount of potiential troops and reduces bullying in the military.

[kaian-a-coel]

maybe one to two years, depending on the people. Scrawny would-be scientists get one year, muscleheads two? Wait, that sounds like a stupid idea.

Name: what's our country name? And the government?

+1 to these as well.

We could do 1 year, and then you get paid a bit extra if you stay for the second. (And also more if you stay after that).

So the richer entrepreneurs can get back doing stuff (+Popularity), and the poor can support themselves (+Popularity)

[Funk]

Mandatory one year conscription,with two separate intakes groups.
Top graded recruits offered more money to stay on.
Lets give our conscripts a gift of there parade uniform, rifle and a shiny medal when they pass out.
we should open a large number rifle and pistol ranges so our pepole can train for the day of the glorious    uprising   practices target shooting.

I knew that I forgot to include something quite important in the stats....

I'll do a proper age pyramid( or something similar)  to represent manpower next turn. For now I'll say that you have a total population of 7.5 millions and you  need to create army with 10 battalions and that's 10 000 max

[Scelly9]

What's our population growth?

+1 to these as well.

Missed that, +1. Gun factory is sure to get a no-way, but bullet factory is at least possible.

On the long term I'd want to focus on mechanized infantry and air force.
It'd be nice to know how the previous wars went and how did we lose the previous one.
Although EqTech 1850 seems a bit too far to take lessons from...

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Word is very calm and haven't seen any combat between major powers for last 30 years

We lost the war because we had obsolete ships, firearms and, most importantly, artillery.  Range and firepower difference was too huge for something even close to fair combat

This sounds good for the first turn.

Hmm, if we have 7.5 million citizens, and we assume (until Ranger gives us that age pyramid) that ages are uniformly distributed between 1 and 100, that puts us as having 75,000 citizens who are 1 year old, 75,000 who are 2 years old, 75,000 who are 18 years old, etc. at any given time. With a 1 year term of conscription, that means we have 75,000 people of the correct age, of which an absolute maximum of 10,000 can be admitted into the military at any given time. So, it looks like we need to either A] decrease the term of conscription to make the numbers fit (using the numbers above, a 48 day term of service is required, hardly enough time to get out of boot camp), B] find ways to disqualify people from conscription, or C] allow people to opt out of a military position by spending a year in the civil service/doing volunteer work/working in a military industry/whatever else we declare to be equivalent to a year in the military.

[stabbymcstabstab]

We could require that all men of fighting age at the starting of the army must do a four month boot camp and take the top 10,000 as conscripts. I gives us a very large army with out going over the limit.
