Turn 9

Is it World War Four if We're On Another World?

Spoiler: Broadcasts from the ESS Pwenet (click to show/hide)

Hello. There have been some... 'requests' to view the footage taken by the Pwenet. I've decided to broadcast stuff that would interest you guys the most. Just give me a second to bring it up... Just flip the switch? Right. Ah, finally...
Damn it Bill, I told you to forward to the battle! What do you mean you were busy? There's nothing out there but dust and rocks! Ah, just go back to work. I'll do it myself, lazy ingrate. Oh, I meant for you to hear it.
Where's the damn button. Ah. Hmm. Right. Here we go. If you have no idea what you're looking at, it's a field in Aswan. And... There's the Unity army, plus some Nalian support. The Unitarians landed on some godforsaken piece of coast and met with the Nalians somewhere. I don't know. If you look closely you can see the PDF lying in wait. Well, obviously the Unity kinda blundered into the USSE positions and What? Oh, shut up Gregor, we all know how you treat the Romans. Anyways the PDF can't fight worth a crap, and most of them got slaughtered. The regular USSE forces managed to actual get shit done before they were overrun.
And... now we jump to The Kingdom of the Free People. If you haven't realized it yet, you're looking at Gregor's army crawling across that plain there. I wonder what they're up to? Well, I'd like to say that the English put up an actual fight, but I'd be lying. At best they managed to wing a couple dents in some helicopters, making them better soldiers than the PDF.
OH, yeah right. You see, the Nalians in Aswan were part of some sort of general invasion. I'm using invasion loosely here. The PDF might have just surrendered for all the good that they did. As you can see, the PDF is simply being torn to pieces. Doesn't matter where they're fighting. Actually, I lie. The PDF in Toski took down the invading air-force before surrendering, making them the most deadly PDF units. Honestly, it couldn't have been very hard. Heh.
Damn it Bill, I'm trying to have a conversation here. What?!? You're shitting me. Show me. Don't broadcast it you idiot. Just bring it up on your screen and I'll come to you.

Government Officials/Ministers: Ministers get sent to the gulag so often that the ministry staff gave up writing new names on office's doors.
Leader's History: The Pharaoh woke up one day in Egypt and let one of the two most successful state on Earth. A nice alliance with the Imperialist Bastards made him into the leader of the world's first Megapower, although various comitee of the Communist Party still control a lot of things.

Strongly Worded Complaints from the National Soviet:

One of the inherit difficulties of communism has been dealing with capitalist nations. While ideally our dealings would be at the end of the bayonet, the read world cannot always match the ideal. The old Soviet Union used a vulgar, capitalist currency, and thus weakened the perfect harmony of Lenin-Marxism. The USSE will follow in the footsteps of the Soviet Union no longer! We have devised a perfect, communistic currency. Its inherent flexibility protects us from the failings of capitalism, while at the same time enhancing the strengths of our glorious communism.
Our defences against ICBMs have been increased to match our old missile defences on Earth. I dare the damn capitalist pigdogs to even think about defiling USSE soil!
Work on our improved propaganda has been halted when our top Opinion-Alternators attempted to defect to Tri'Nala. Our top Brain-Rearrangers have dealt with these scum already...
The databases in Kadesh have been secured. Unfortunately the tough Soviet equipment was not designed to survive a descend from the outer atmosphere, and many of them did not survive. Those that did survive are in such a state that moving them would be extremely risky... Schematics for Old USSE laser weapons have already been delivered, and will soon go into production...

Broadcast Messages from the Desk of the Prime Chancellor:
Our war with the USSE is lamentable yet necessary. Necessary to prevent old tyrannies from enveloping this paradise. As our valiant men flock to enlist, we'll need able generals to lead them. Therefore I have set aside land for a new park, the Roman-Unitarian Military Park. In times of peace it shall be open to the public for our enjoyment. Yet in times of war the park will be the site of constant war games, training our officers to work effectively under pressure...
Every soldier who flees, every deserter, every defector, they all pain me. I do not ask for every person in our army to give his or her life in hopeless last stands. Retreats should be in the known to every single one of our generals. Yet there is a difference between retreating under orders and fleeing because one is scared or confused. Therefore I have passed a bill through the Senate that will create a new type of NCO. These Commissars are responsible for maintaining the morale of their unit, and ensuring that they carry out orders...
The adoption of the LX-32 Light Communication System allows our armies to be in even greater touch, allowing for increased co-ordination and cooperation...

Rapid Response Training will probably grant a big boost to your initiative when defending, and probably one or two points to defence for each unit.

If you want to name your space stations, go for it. I don't really care too much.

B) Troops Build-Up
Total Build-Up from CG and you is 200,000$ Terenos, I hope you won't mind if I recruit some troops.

-2 Fighters and 1 Artillery in Miliarnyi Zony Dva (82):-96,000$
-2 Fighters and 1 Artillery in New Greenland:-96,000$
-Fire General Vitali
-Hire 4 new General in Memphis:-20,000$

C) Diplomacy
Create a New World Order with Soyuz and the Republic of Seportia. Aside from a full military alliance, I'd like the NWO to be a scientific parnership as well. All members are to get full access to all other members' tech. We'll of course start by sending our own tech to them.

D) Research
Yeah, I'm researching weapons, but you're researching defensive system which is more or less the same thing. Plus, I don't see why you could use the truce to rush to the next level of troops while I couldn't.

Kholkoze Militias: (Needs PDF) Militias and partisan groups are now organized by collective farms and factories. Inefficient bureaucracy means you only get one unit of PDF by 10,000$, but PDF is now calculated including the economy bonus:-397,000$
Escape Pod:Even a great leader needs to know when to set off. The escape pod is a rough contraption, basically a capsule fixed to a missile, that should allow the Pharaoh and a select staff of mummies counsellors (It has no oxygen and the like for living being) to get to the ESS Pewnet in case of defeat of the USSE:-250,000$
Weapons:-300,000$
Signalling:-200,000$


E) Troop Movement

-General Thitmosept will incorporate the remaining Militia into the 1st Red Banner Army and prepare for the 'Nalian onslaught.
-General Kornosov will move to the North Pole and take command of all the units there, forming the 4th Red Banner Army.
-General Artur will take command of 6 Howitzer, 2 Jet Aircraft and 1 Militia to form the 5th Red Banner Army and defend Shebovgorod (87).
-The 2nd Red Banner Army, currently in Raphia, will get reinforced by all the continental ships: 1 Aircraft Carrier, 3 Cruisers and 1 Patrol Boat. It'll then dig in province 89.
-The 3rd Red Banner Army will get reinforced by the remaining continental troops: 2 Jet Aircraft and 1 Howitzer.

P.S. Damn, I really feel like I'm doomed. Why would have USEC waited so long for basic orders, if they weren't important? If if they are important, it's that someone is going to attack me. I hope it's the aliens and not you CG, or I swear I won't ever trust you again in any game.

[nuker w]

Since it appears you guys are full up, i'll just slot this here to keep an eye on it. Keep it up.

P.S. Damn, I really feel like I'm doomed. Why would have USEC waited so long for basic orders, if they weren't important?

Common decency?

Anyways it's going to take me a couple days to sort through everything. Sorry about all the delays, I was going to finish updating it today (only had troop movements to do) but then Sheb comes in and messes everything up. Still, shouldn't take long to fix.

Microwaving the War

Spoiler: Broadcasts from the ESS Pwenet (click to show/hide)

Hello? Gregor? Can you hear me? Could we... what? Ah, here we go. Ahem. The preliminary search has been completed, and the place is as empty as an USSE soup bowl. No humans, no aliens, and damn few bodies. Some sort of struggle must of occurred though. Some of the bulkheads are pretty melted, and sometimes you run into a patch of blood and a mutilated body. We've found no evidence of the attackers, besides their obvious handiwork. No footprints, hand prints, not even a dead body. Unless, of course, they managed to infiltrate the crew, in which case where did they go? We've got no security footage either. The cameras were wiped and destroyed long before we got here... What else? Oh, most of the databases are intact, though some of them have been wiped and destroyed as well. I'm guessing someone did it on purpose, but the vandalism seems to be mostly random. The information we came for is still intact, so this expedition isn't a total waste. Er, Osiris-1, you remember him? Well, it turns out we have no clue where he is. We traced his signal back to a chuck of space debris. Looks like we was using it as a relay. No clue where he's broadcasting from, as he was smart enough to shut up before we reached the relay. What else? I guess that's it. I'll submit a more... formal report when I return. The sleeping quarters here aren't exactly conductive to thought. This is Errant-Crap. One last thing. This is a completely   personal opinion, but I think it's damn important for you to hear. Now, before I went on this expedition I took the liberty to do some research on the Pwenet. I'll be sending you some photos now. Some are the ones we took of the bodies, and the others are from all those years ago when they found the remains of the crew. Hell, you probably were around when they found them. Now, I'm no expert, but don't the wounds look the same? I'm guessing that whoever attacked the ESS Pwenet, this isn't the first time they've done so...

It seems to me that the USSE is rapidly becoming a parody of itself. Or at least the way I seem to be writing it.

Bleh. As always I'm sure I missed a lot of stuff. Tell me if I did, especially since everyone is going to duke it out over the next few turns.

Yes! I broke the 40000 character barrier! (That's why the turn is in three pieces)

Leader's History: The Pharaoh woke up one day in Egypt and let one of the two most successful state on Earth. A nice alliance with the Imperialist Bastards made him into the leader of the world's first Megapower, although various comitee of the Communist Party still control a lot of things.

Strongly Worded Complaints from the National Soviet:

The factories shall ring with the sound of war tonight! The worker's collectives have been organized into Kholkoze Militias, providing the PDF with more brave men to defend the motherland...
Our programmers, in a fit of selflessness and only minor pain, have reaffirmed the tenants of Marx and Lenin. They have created a computer simulation of the entire USSE economy, from our glorious factories to our compulsory breadlines. With this wondrous program even your vile, bow-legged, lumpet-brained scribes can improve our nation's economy...
Work on railgun technology is advancing smoothly and will be ready for next year. Rumours that high-ranking USSE officials have been using experimental railguns to engage in skydiving are completely awesome and untrue.
Our mighty armies are even mightier. They can now easily communicate with each other securely through our new, unbreakable algorithms. Needless to say they are more secure if the key is not 1234PASSWORD...

For those reader who have no idea what intelligent materials are, Dr. Mykola explains, "Intelligent materials either release electricity when deformed, or change shape when subjected to an electrical current. Our previous generation of intelligent materials were of the first type. Useful for industry, but not particularly stronger than our current alloys. But by rediscovering the second type of materials, we open up a realm of possibilities. Imagine a tank whose armour bulges when hit, deflecting the shell or preventing it from penetrating the tank...

Named Technologies: Brunt Earth Tactics (Provinces taken over by enemy forces gain one wasteland feature)
                    Guerrilla Warfare (Provinces with your ethinecity but under control of another government gain a +10% success espionage bonus and 100% chance to rebel. Additionally, enemy units passing through that province have a 15% chance to become stuck in that province, preventing them from moving further)
                    Provincial Defence Force (Provinces under attack generate basic infantry at a tech level below your current attainable one (minimum of 1). The number of infantry generated is equal to the base income of that province divided by 7,000, rounded down. A province will always produce one unit of PDF, no matter what is income is. (Therefore a province with 0-13,999 income would produce 1 infantry, 14,000-20,999 would produce 2 etc.) PDF only works in provinces with the same ethnicity as the government.)
                    Kholkoze Militia (When provinces are under attack gain 1 to (economy rank/2) PDF units. If the maximum number of PDF units are gained, then a wasteland token is generated on that province)
                    Civilian Indoctrination (Provinces with a different ethnicity can be changed to your ethnicity at the cost of the province's base income. The chance of success is between 50-100 percent, depending on the province.)
                    Explosive Troopers.
                    Malicious Virus (Costs $10,000 to create a strain of virus. The strain of virus is stored in one province and has a 50% chance of being stolen by an enemy that successfully invades that province. If the strain is not stolen by the enemy, it is used in the province it was in. Once a Malicious Virus is used it infects the province that it is used in. The effects of a Malicious Virus, and its chance to spread to other provinces are randomly chosen once the virus is used.)

For the desk of Bernard Gothe, Secretary to the King:
Summon the militia together. Summon all the able-bodies men and arm them as best as you can. If you have any weapons left over, arm the women was well. Go to ground in the forests and mountains. Avoid a full-pitched battle until you have heard word from our generals. The Kingdom of the Free People is rising from the ashes. Many brave men and women will be lost resisting the Unity Onslaught, but in the end we will prevail and rebuild our glorious nation!

From the Ligorian Board of Rebellion:
The state of our army is terrible. Discipline is low, ammo is scarce and we can barely equip our men. Armour and artillery are almost non-existent, and our airforce consists of only scout planes. Our situation is not completely hopeless. The English have risen as well, and the New Unity will be harassed from the west. Should worse come to worse, the USSE has donated some territories for our use...
