Who are our neighbors?
We have two neighbors. Tarmania is north of us and Sirroco is south of us. Tarmania is a regional power with economy much more powerful than ours. Sirroco is a relatively backwards nation and our former territory that got independence only 25 years ago in a bloody war for independence.
[ooc=geography]
You = Spain+Portugal-Islands. Revolutionary forces control northern part of the country.
Tarmania = South-Western France including Corsica + Sardinia + Balearic Islands+Sicily+Malta +Tunisia+Azores+Madeira islands + Canary islands +some colonies overseas
Sirroco = Morocco (including Western Sahara)+Algeria[/spoiler]
What kind of state are their militaries in?
Being very poor country Sirocco has outdated army, rudimentary navy but they procured some modern fighters being afraid of our bomber forces. Discipline and training of their land forces is superb.
Tarmania has cumbersome, non-motorized, heavy-artillery focused land force and we believe that their doctrines are outdated. Their navy on the other hand is one of the best navies of the world. Tonnage of their navy is eleven times larger than our own and their ships are more modern. Tarmania has no dedicated airforce branch but their navy has own airships and floatplanes.
Do they show any indication of favoring one side of the civil war over the other?
Tarmania prefers to stay out of war because they have serious diplomatic problems with other neighbors and can't risk being involved in war with us.
Sirocco is close to its own civil war and in no position to intervene in our war
Be warned that world considers capitalists to be a "legitimate government" and they will likely receive shipments of modern weapons while we have no such luxury.
What is our generals' preferred military doctrine?
Our generals believe that methodical war of attrition and destruction of enemy supply lines and infrastructure is the best way to win any kind of war.
How are they equipped? Do they possess their own aircraft, or do we need to plan for having our craft doing work for them?
After many years of neglecting our navy is in a very poor situation with most of vessels requiring extensive repair. Furthermore majority of our navy is coal powered and coal supply is very limited. We can safely say that in this war navy will be used mostly as stationary artillery guarding ports. In fact we control several cities only because cruisers, battleship and coastal batteries.
Our army got very modern artillery of all calibres and forms. Some analysts believe that our light artillery is the best in the world. Our land forces are mildly motorized with artillery tractors being common in every artillery division. Armored cars started to appear in army only few months before the war has started.
Unfortunately capitalists have a huge artillery advantage and one of your goals is to negate their advantage.
Both army and navy posses their own AA-guns but only air force possessed aircrafts. You don't have to design weapons for other branches but they may adopt anything that will be designed for airforce
