Yep.

We have got to capture a competent instructor for these people. Maybe even hire one. Say, are the any World SuperPowers (potentially) sympathetic to our cause.

[Playergamer]

Well, it depends. The Americans always love a freedom fighter, and the Russians may be willing to back you in exchange for favors when you get into power.

[LuckyKobold]

Recruit any homeless folks who don't have anything to lose.

Promise the KGB an important uranium mine (when we win not if) that will sell the rights to if they send us a spetzna guy to train us. They're perfect for us really.

Subtle, secretive, sabetour, amazing fighter, high amounts of fitness, and we use Russian weapons so comparability will be high.

So...how can we travel up to the Kremlin though?

[Playergamer]

Actually, after some consideration, I've decided to transplant this into the Victory or Death universe. The two major superpowers are Egica and Genitios. Egica is about half to a third of the size of Genitios, and is very technologically focused, with a strong military tradition. Genitios is much larger than Egica, and has a large, infantry based military, much less trained and less equipped than the Egican military. Derown is a major power on the True Subcontinent, a smaller landmass connected to the mainland through a landbridge, about 100 miles back from the Egican-Genitian border. Egica and Genitios regularly fight large, Eastern Front scale wars that usually end in a white peace. Obviously, the two powers are searching around for a way to break this cycle.

There's also the far off, isolationist state of Arcium. They're heavily industrialized, but are unlikely to care much about events happening in a minor country on a far away subcontinent.

Anyway, now that I've given a quick history lesson, I'll give you 3 more hours, or so.

Look around the area for people who have potential to act as discrete 'agents'

[NRDL]

Try to find criminal groups for us to associate with, even if it means traveling to a city. 

Is there any general information on the gangs, syndicates and such of Derown, that even the average person would know?

Simple. Find beautiful women and use some of our money to dress/perfume her up to be our Liaison officers who are supervised by one strong man to be their control ambassador (sort of like a pimp). They go to the city and make contacts with financialists by asking about land development, different political parties, and of course the see if we can find an embassy willing to speak with. If we can find an Embassy or Consulate than of Egica or Genitios then we can ask for help in overthrowing the government.

Is this really a good idea? We would ideally want to be seen as saviors of the people, not another criminal gang.

Plus, they could sell us out to the police for a get out of jail for free card. Let's find more ideology not money.

Revised plan:

1. Start proclaiming propaganda into the village about how the government is responsible for a lot of the hardships they've suffered in their lives, how they can make a difference by fighting, etc, hopefully we get more recruits out of that.

2. As for the criminal connections, if contact is made with any group, we do not under any circumstances state we are rebels.  For all intents and purposes, we're just another criminal group to them.

Totally behind 1. We can get soldiers but i'd also like to point out that we need subtle social agents. ((Women tend to get lips moving is alls i'm saying http://www.sundance.tv/series/restless/top-ten/top-10-famous-female-spies#/1))

With 2 i completely disagree. If you've seen the wolf of wallstreet then you know why. Criminals will rat us out even if they know or don't know who we are. If we commited illegal activity then they'll sell us out to the authorities for money or for a get out of jail free card.

We should concentrate our effots in the city to see who is who and what's going on. Maybe there are government officials that are keeping quite about there true feelings. Or maybe we can help a group protest by keeping the cops away with blackmail.

-1 to anything to do with being friendly to criminals. +1 to propaganda.
