Are those divisions modern r WWII? Curious about the heavy investment in South Africans. Rate is on a truck chassis, so mobility is somewhat restricted. Any Bradleys? Artillery? I KNOW you have arty. Marder? Puma? All 1/285? Roos are 1/300...

C'mon, Chris spill it. Your public wants to know. Not just CofC. All your other sons and the stuff stacked in the closet and under the table.

Waaaaaiiiiitaminit, hyah, Chris. You CAN'T put a 120mm cannon in Jagdpanther and call it a JagdAbrams. There is a LOT more to an Abrams than the gun. Suspension, fire control, engine, transmission armor, hull design. Ya gotta go farther than the gun!

It's a great idea, but those interleaved roadwheels alone would have to be fixed! The vents on top of the hull have to be reworked to prevent a runaway heat signature. Shape is pretty good.

Yeah, just giving you a hard time. Can't fix that stuff. Go with it!

Tank destroyers are more a defensive weapon, particularly the casement type. Turrets are better.

Nashorn,
For the JagdAbrams, I added styrene block for vision sighting port forward. I have not produced a CITV yet..... YET. I added a machine gunner.
.
Do not expect to use JagdAbrams in combat unless defending the Commonwealth from PG, or if we need to save the people of PG from PG.

Being a landlocked state without the means required for transport, you will have to invade the Gator State, in which case, you better BRING IT ALL! You will need it. And my crews will appreciate the hard targets! THEN you will have to defend yourself from the Gator State. You might prepare yourself for the pain by repeatedly plunging your hmmm into a hornets' nest and then lowering yourself over a lot of boiling oil. Because IF you invade, WHEN you are captured, that IS what will be done to you by those people of the Gator State.

Oman sent armor vehicles into Yemen following attack and transport helicopters. Dropping airborne soldier 30 km inside Yemen border. 42 Challenger 2 tanks made a quick advance with Warrior IFVs. Shortly after crossing the border, Oman forces captured several dozen soldiers of the Commonwealth, 3 CoC soldiers died while 2 Oman died in brief firefight.
. Oman appears to be partially motivated to take attention off a meek economy with anemic growth.
. The Secretary of State call the Oman Ambassador to inquire as to the reason, purpose of the attack. Not a coherent answer. The sec. of State gave a warning to Amb. Talib, that it would not go well for Oman if the did not withdraw immediately. Call Muscat, give them the warning. I’ll expect your call back within 15 minutes. I will then call the Minister of War to inform him of your decision.

Nice...... armor for the home guard.
I was thinking modern armor for the reg army and all the ww2 for the home guard.

In Yer Bouti port, 5 cargo freighters docked yesterday and last night. Today we detected through means of using highly capable aircraft, Global Hawk and satellite images of heavy armor being off loaded.
Yemen
UCAV drone over the Oman battle group sends targeting information to the SSGN Ortega. SSGN Ortega fired several SLAM missiles into Oman troops. This wave of 8 missiles destroyed 4 Challenger 2 MBTs and 3 warriors.

This military power build up will upset the 'balance of power' in West Africa region. Yer Bouti must cease and desist this build up. The Shiek You're Bouti is making a power play.
.
In light of this, there is grave concern by the CoC and the patrol aircraft flying anywhere near YB. A-4, F-4, A-7, A-6 among others aircraft. Discussion at the highest level of the Air Force and Navy are determining of patrols will continue or if a change in aircraft is warranted.
.
UIN Resolution
Whereas, the Eurasia sent unwarranted, highly capable military hardware to a country that has show a propensity of aggression.
Therefore be it resolved, that the equipment be return to Eurasia or be placed in the Atlantic Ocean for reef enrichment.

Yer Bouti is making a quantum upgrade in its air defense capabilities, which is not needed. It is a threat to air passenger travel, tourism and economic development in the region as people and the businesses will always wonder when and if YB will down commercial air traffic. The T-72 TUSK is significant improvement in the ground assault role in urban environments, help suppress civilian population in-country and offers capability for out-of-country civilian suppression.
. The other T-72 selected and imported from Eurasia are highly advanced, highly capable in open tank terrain in the area around Yer Bouti. As the Commonwealth has put infrastructure in place to develop the economic opportunities with significant highway and rail to benefit all peoples in the West Africa & Central Africa regions, including YB.
. Yer Bouti will have to get off its Bouti to determine what sort of society it wants to be, how it wishes to participate to make progress for its citizens.
. The Commonwealth works diligently to offer economic growth, better lifestyle and healthcare in the region, allocating significant capital for the creation for people in these regions. Where is the commitment of Yer Bouti and Skiek his Bouti? Non-existent to this date. The CoC invites and welcomes YB to develop itself economically and participate in the regional economic development opportunities.
.
Yemen
The existing Yemen government has resigned since it does not hold the confidence of the people, has been replaced. The new government is requesting membership in the Commonwealth. Is looking forward to the economic development that other countries have experienced. It has appreciated the help, the protection from the Saudis, Holth, and Oman military forces.

Yemen
The Yemen request to become a member of the Commonwealth has been approved.
.
The Oman forces in Yemen have begun a fighting withdraw with the Challanger 2 and Warriors, they were attacked by AH-1 Cobra. AT mines were dropped in their path of retreat. A few tracks were blown off of the Challenger 2 and 2 Warriors, with one Warrior catching fire. It appears that the crew and dismount were able to de-bus. The vehicles stopped moving. 11 AH-1 Cobras were on the scene along with 12 A-4 and 5 A-6 aircraft. The crews got out of the vehicles to surrender. 6 Jaguars attack planes and 2 Tornadoes came in from Oman, but were engaged by 4 F-4 Phantoms and 8 F-8 fighters, shooting down 3 Jaguars. The rest returned to Oman territory, being pursued until they reached the border.
. The dismounted soldiers were captured, put on trucks, questioned. The plan is to release these soldiers to Oman.
. 70-80 M60A3 moved to 4 km inside the Oman border.

Our sympathies go out to the yet more people who have temporarily fallen under the dark cloud of the "Doms".
In time we are sure they will once again regain their rightful independence.

Cof C has gotten far too big for his britches. One wonders why he bothers to keep up the facade of the UIN when the "dom-dom" is as big.
