The Commonwealth of Chrisdom

Our closest seawater is 1000 miles away. The only things we import are German bier, schnitzel, and pommes frites. The only thing we export are unwanted diplomats, and, if necessary, enemy incursions. We don't interfere in the affairs of other nations and do not seek to impose our values, culture, or any of our religions on others.

HOWEVER, if you mess with us, we WILL MESS BACK! We will find a way, even landlocked as we are.

Defense Secretary...Add another shift to the ammUnition plants and build three more. Let's look to increasing our mech, artillery, and air defense battalions, start building the motor pools to hold them, and recruit the people. We may have to consider aviation assets - AH64s, scouts, and A10s. Let's complete our next armored cavalry regiment. The Brit s and Germans both have motor parks full of deactivated tanks. We might look into purchase of Challengers, Chieftains, and Leos. We will also need to finish our engineer battalion, as well as survey the population to see what is available to commandeer, if necessary. Identify buildings that can be used for treatment of casualties, both civilian and military. Let's review our obstacle plans to see where we can improve.

If we want peace, we must be prepared for war.

CofC,

You seem to have endless equipment to pass out and innumerable ships to manage your empire. It seems to the only way to limit your ever-expanding empire is to bring up the rule that one must actually be IN POSSESSION of the assets you use, as in "be able to document" what you are using by photo or objective witness. I know you have A LOT OF STUFF, but it certainly appears you have gone beyond your limits.

Failing to adhere to this rule results in unfettered, and unrealistic limits of power as we see now in the "here a dom, there a dom, everywhere a dom," as the imagi-nation world has recently become.

Let's return to a somewhat more realistic world, where there are limits, both economic and operational.

Okay, good call you two.
Enjoy. You should really come see my stuff, or come help me pack it for a move. I am going to buy a 12 ft trailer.

For your minis? Not nearly big enough.

Not looking to take the wind out of your sails, just asking that you trim them a bit.

I don't agree that Cof c should reduce itself to a small Mediterranean nation. It does seem to have expand d beyond its means and lost sight of its ideals, having been sucked into expanding and getting involved in ruinous disputes.

I imagine Cof c will, and is entitled to, determine his own course, despite what you or I may think. Participants never actually agreed, by the way, to any rule about having to actually own what you deploy in imagi-nations. It was only a suggestion which several agreed might be a good idea.

Mauritania
Communication with CoC military command has been severed along with political and civilian. A group of bandits that were apparently followers of General Fatusa have lead a takeover of government and military facilities in the western area of Mauritania, along and near the coast. The General's son Col Fatusa was passed over for the third time to flag officer recently. He is leading a coup with several hundred leaders and thousands of soldiers in support. 600 soldiers of CoC were taken prisoner along with over 1000 members of the Mauritania Army and Air Force. Over 2000 people are estimated to have died in fighting.
. The take over group calling themselves the Democratic Federation of Mauritania has been brutal sending radio help against Al-Kabab and CoC. Calling all 'freedom fighters' to come support freedom.
. The takeover military has gained control of 30 AMX-30, about 60 M113, several dozen BMP 1& 2, dozens of T55 and T62. Hind D have been seen flying around, firing on the established government forces and buildings.
Assessments will need to take place to determine risk, conduct SWOT ** CENSORED **. CoC military resources are on call. Some ships in the port, planes & helicopters, army units are in preparation.

Fatusa is dead! He was killed when he attempted to insinuate himself in the internal affairs of the Gator State. We have the proof socked away in an old Pepsi machine that still works in the basement of our main waste treatment plant. You can have him back if you want to strap him in a jeep seat to parade around in front of his followers, but somebody is gonna get suspicious that he isn't taking care of himself very well. Somebody will have to extract the long trail of TP trailing from you-know-where and get his trousers pulled back up.
