How's the turn coming along?

[Sheb]

Third Turn

This time it's certain: the world is heading toward World War 3. Not only will you have to fight against those puny "Legitimate Governments", but also against your fellow dictators. Still, annexing Japan that way was hardly elegant. But anyway, you now focus back on your map and your next moves. Now that your aggressive attentions are known, you can be sure that your neighbours will prepare for battle, but you KNOW you can defeat them nonetheless. You'll show them!

You buy one Transport ship.
You loads 3 Infantry Units and attack Japan.
GDI Army: 3 Infantry Divisions
Japanese Army: 2 Infantry Divisions (Rules state that if a unit is bought, it won't be available until next turn.)
Japanese soldiers, still shaken by their encounter with Russia are quickly disposed of by G.D.I.'s superior troops. After less than a week fighting, the whole archipelago is in G.D.I.'s hand. (Out of curiosity, I rolled a few more time to see what would've happen if you had all your troops available, and the results are grim: you would have scratched one of G.D.I.'s division and that's it. RNG hates you.)

Unless you want to fly your planes without their engines of course. So nothing.

Research: None.
Production: 1 Infantry Division
Army:
Lithuanian Army: 1 Infantry Division
Polish Army: 2 Infantry Divisions
Bogs and Swamps mean that the Lithuanian had plenty of time to prepare and establish solid defensive position. Despite heroic fighting on the Polish side, the Lithuanian lines couldn't be breached, and the Poles were forced to turn back, at the cost of heavy causalities. (I know you sent 3 Divisions, but you had only 2 -one was resting and one wasn't ready- and you were unlucky. Better luck next time?)

Spoiler: Ragnarok97071 (click to show/hide)

Research: None.
Army:
Saudi Army: 2 Infantry Divisions, 1 Light Tank.
Mordorian Army: 2 Infantry Divisions
NOD Army: 1 Infantry Division
The Saudi Army, overconfident after their last victory, decided to make a stand at the border, in full sight. The result was a perfect target for the Mordorian artillery, and a lot of bloody sand. Although some soldiers were killed in the following clean-up and occupation, those were mostly Saudi.

Spoiler: RAM (click to show/hide)

Research:-None
Production:-1 Bomber in South Africa
Army:
Namibian Defense Force: 1 Militia
Evil Army: 2 Regulars, 1 Bomber
One of your pilot failed to take off, crashing his plane into another one on the runway. Nobody died, but it'll take some time to repair the aircrafts. Of course the pilots was put to death in a truly Evil! fashion.

On a side note, you now own Namibia.

Okay, I did some minor adjustment to the wealth figures. Now, the revenue you get from a territory is GDP*2 (in billions) if the GDP is less than 25 billions , 50 if the GDP is between 25 and 50 billions, GDP over that. So little countries are not useless, but getting the United States will mean 14k a turn. (But you need to conquer them first...)

Does that seems balanced? I'm thinking of maybe making it so that revenue are GDP/2 for big countries (GDP>1000) so that owning the United states wouldn't mean instant victories, as it would bring "only" 7k a turn.

Also, I decide to double the modifiers. (So a militia got +4, a Regulars +16 on offense and +20 on defense...). The way I'm running battle, I pair units and make them fight one vs. one until one side lose all his units. With the former modifiers, cheap units like militia were just too powerful. You can also tell me in which orders you send your units.

And last but not the least, tell me if I made a mistake somewhere.

Thanks, and good luck.

[Phantom]

Excellent.
Load up the troops.
South Korea will fall.

(Load up 2 divisions in the transport and invade SK, and train an Infantry division in Japan, if possible..)

[Sheb]

Can I ask you to do the whole "budget" thingie?  I know it's cumbersome, but it really save me a lot of time, or at least will save me a lot of time later on.

Can we have shared ownership of a country?

[Sheb]

Didn't tough about that.

Well, yes, no reasons to prevent it. Each of you get half the money, and can use it as his country. In case of invasion, both attacker and defenders use their defender modifiers (Since they're both there.)

Sheb, can I have red now please, since ExKirby is now out?

Sure you can. Update coming as soon as Criptfiend's actions. (I'm in GMT+1)

[Criptfeind]

Errrr...

Sorry again, I will send all my forces to green land, build a transport ship at green land and then send a spy plane into ice land and the US.

Phantom: Hello, I wish to register a complaint.
Sheb: *Works behind counter.*
Phantom: Hello, miss?
Sheb: What do you mean, "Miss"?
Phantom: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Sheb: We're closin' for lunch.
Phantom: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this game that I purchased not a few ago from this very forum.
Sheb: Oh yes, the, uh, Countries at War... What's, uh...What's wrong with it?
Phantom: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Sheb: No, no, It's uh,... It's resting.
Phantom: Look, matey, I know a dead game when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Sheb: No no it's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable game, the Countries at War, idn'it, ay? Beautiful carnage!
Phantom: The carnage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Sheb: Nononono, no, no! It's resting!
Phantom: All right then, if it's restin', I'll wake it up!
*Bangs on thread.*
HELLO, COUNTRIES AT WAR! I got a lovely fresh turn for you if you...
Sheb: *Hits thread.*
There! It moved!
Phantom: No, it didn't, that was you hitting the thread!
Sheb: I never!!
Phantom: Yes, you did!
Sheb: I never, never did anything...
Phantom: (yelling and hitting the thread repeatedly) 'ELLO COUNTRIES!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
*Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.*
Phantom: Now that's what I call a dead game.
Sheb: No, no.....No, it's stunned!
Phantom: STUNNED?!?
Sheb: Yeah! You stunned it, just as it was wakin' up! Forum Games stun easily, major.
Phantom: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That game is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not a few days ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged turn.
Sheb: Well, he's...it's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Phantom: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did it fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Sheb: The Countries at War prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable game, id'nit, squire? Lovely carnage!
Phantom: Look, I took the liberty of examining that game when I got it, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its thread in the first place was that it had been STICKIED there.
Sheb: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't stickied that game down, it would have nuzzled up to those threads, bent 'em apart with its updates, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Phantom: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this game wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! It's bleedin' demised!
Sheb: No no! It's pining!
Phantom: It's not pinin'! It's passed on! This game is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker!
It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't stickied it to the thread it'd be pushing up the daisies!
It's metabolic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig!
It's kicked the bucket, It's shuffled off it's mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-GAME!!
Sheb: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
Sheb: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of Countries at War.
Phantom: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Sheb: I got a You ARE game...
