Mech, The Sheik has just returned from the UIN general assembly and hopes to post this weekend on the big changes for his Nation on yerbouti.com

Panzer, In part the need for the new Dragon MBT has come about by the small peace loving Nation of YB finding itself somewhat surrounded by a collection of "doms".
Some remain friendly trading partners others have a more hostile history, Moroccodom has bombed YB in the past!

Relations with the CofC have improved of late, however the very rapid expansion of the of the commonwealth into a diverse number of members (and the extensive militarization/rearmament of them) may pose a problem if Monaco was to lose control.

YB is a small land mass which rules out defence in depth. A small population rules out a large standing army.
I can muster about 200 tanks right now but a large proportion are older T55, T62 and T72.
Unlikely to be able to win the numbers game with Chris so mobility and quality or asymmetric seems to be the best option.

The National "mini me" State Circus program has a high drop out rate so manning of T72's has a large pool to pick from.
BMP and M113 are also held and will need an upgrade. Dam this is going to cost me!

The NDA or Imperial Quebec can send you some M113A3 APCs to fill in your units.

The Gator State faces a similar problem. Nuclear devices have been strategically placed to make it extremely inconvenient to land forces uninvited. An added benefit is that, if they do land, the green glow will make it even easier to sight them in. Our tank and anti-tank crews are anxious for real targets. The population is well-prepared and every effort is made to identify threats and provide sufficient time to take cover. Rehearsals are plentiful.

We do have sufficient space to provide long-range engagements, which our crews anticipate with relish. They already have bets placed.

Again, as the Romans said, "If you want peace, prepare for war."

The NDA and our allies are facing the same problem too, CofC and US troops are in the Moose Alliances territory but there only here to protect that nations independence. but they are slowly starting to pull out, though the CofCs excessive Rambling/Propaganda tool, has hampered Canada's reunification process. Something has to be done about this and soon. Yer Bouti you have the NDA and our allies by your side in this.

GS encourages the factions of Canada to settle their differences. A reunified country woul better be able to defend itself against ANY outside onfluence and look after its own onterests. Canadians should stand proudly together as a nation. It has a proud history combining a number of different cultures. The US meeds its calming onfluence, too.

YB welcomes the support. For a small Nation it is not without defensive resources. It has a lot of older pewter.

Trouble is the number of systems and their age would be draining on a small economic base. So to increase the bang for the buck I will streamline the Armed Forces, updated the equipment and boost the economy.
Yes that mean building ports, office towers, shopping malls, airports and industries.
Sorry wanted to be an architect as a kid.

First step, new or up graded MBT.

The new Dragon requirement is for 45 MBT's to start.
I have 20 T72 TUSK already that I could use if I want , so that kind of gives it the cost advantage of a Russian buy.

Still all options are open.

Apologies to cama for the hi-jack but still working on the upgrade.

Define "settle their differences" Gator State? As the Moose Alliance is a rather fickle lot to deal with and at the mercy of the CofC, the Kanaskas Country was a no show at the talks, and Ontario looks like a ghost town. it will be a long time before Canada would be unified.

It is up to those of you former Canadians. Like I said, much easier to keep foreign interests out of your business if you present a united front. Truculance iften turns into regret these days, with so many different predators on the international scene. I point to Russia, China, ISIS, Al Qaida, and CofC, always seeking seams to worm their way into a position of advantage. Not to mention the University of Alabama. But GS has enough to do keeping its own house in order. You guys do what you think best, and devil take the hindmost. Better increase your foreign language skills. English, French, and you previous nations languages may not be enough...

I finally decided to look at this thread... (not into dragons).
7,,62 you didn't hijack this, this is a beat up CoC forum, maybe therapy for y'all. PG, Mech,.. gosh. CoC is just a peace loving group of like minded nations
.
As for armor, I cannot help it that the US announced plans to send to Morocco 200 M1A2 Abrams Tanks, I did not cause that to happen. Delighted it did, LOL, lol, hehe.
.
As for the UIN, I did not start the UIN, I do not control it. Do each of you need a FREE Hummv? Painted white?
.
As for Canada, I did not split it up. I'm just there to help those people that hunt Moose, Elk, Deer, Bear, etc. or hike and appreciate the wild. NDA invaded Alaska, NDA invaded and took BC. NDA is controlling the eastern portions of canada terrain.
.
CoC has tried to work with YB for almost 2 months now in conference. Ceded land to YB. We are a kind, gracious and merciful group of peoples.
.
We will have to get more intel officers to keep track of these secret threads.

A public forum is not exactly secret. Perhaps not EVERYBODY sees CofC as the beneficent actor it sees itself. The chief of CofC perceives the benefits of its actions, however the folks at the other end, on whose backs those benefits are carried, may not see it the same way, you kind, generous, altruistic HEGEMANIAC! There are "doms" EVERYWHERE! Then there is CofC's puppet operational blanket, UIN, under which all manner of mischief is performed to the benefit of CofC. The loss of a people's cultural identity, national sovereignty, freedom of ideas and thought, and independence are more insidious than outright physical invasion, but no less harmful to them.

Wherever there is a weakness and an advantage to be gained, there you will find agents of CofC, exploiting misfortune. Like whackamole, CofC would not be bashed so much if its head didn't appear every time it found a place it could stick its nose.

Getting back on topic. The armed forces of PROG are ready to combat dragons and any other Kaiju.

CAMA! Search the internet using "6mm models of dragons." Plenty of stuff will come up.

With all the talk about budgets and building units, I am wondering if you guys have your vehicles do double duty. Do you have separate collections for your imaginations and your real world armies?

I am building an armored cavalry regiment and I'm using some of the vehicles that had been in my imagination army. I'm a firm believer that you actually have to have the pewter to claim a unit exists, but since my real world and imagination never mix I was going to use the same vehicles for both units.. Just curious how others organize their forces.

I wish I had such a huge collection of vehicles that I could have separate vehicles for the US and for the ROD. And the Brits. And the Germans. And Russians. Maybe some Chinese too.

I don't wargame, so my collection is protected. Right now, I use battalion trays. Finding ones I like that are the right size and are stackable is difficult. I will build my own soon. Once there is room in the basement, I will have a ping pong table motor pool.
