Nation Forge — Iron Desert [1863] — Beware the Ides of March

[CypherX]

also, for swat 1, Seris/Washk/Kyrev coalition is called the Western Conglomerate if you'd like to add it to the OP


von Gneisenau marches into Milhamiah, arriving at the coastal city of Zanjariyyah. A gleaming trading port, with a significant garrison and much strategic importance. The city is encircled on all sides short of the water, and the Grand Battery begins its relentless barrage. von Gneisenau's left flank, in the direction of Hadithah, is protected by the cavalry wing and a small detachment of infantry. The rest make camp and prepare for the siege.

The Serisian naval forces hold along the river, out of range of the blockade.

A force of 20,000 goes up the river, stopping at the Milhamite southwestern border. A forward operating base is set up next to the river, to establish another supply chain for the Washkian troops.

The ensign flies high in the sky while this tune is played.

Yo, this is my jam.

[mattsos]

i had no idea how anyone noticed this but

Send the army both ways to protect against Seris and Kyrev borders.

yeah stuff happened a little bit too fast for my liking, too.

good job you told me about your trap

yet you wouldn't possibly actually know this. he's saying it in-topic for the sake of moving things faster.

omg stop getting into other people's wars!!

[grunterdb1951]

Conservatia, with rumors of a war to the far south, becomes quite interested in the nations down there. A few East Indiamen(What's a India?) are sent down south with a representative upon each to map out the regions. The ships hop Izlandian and Arconian ports before heading south. As they set off into uncharted land, they strike their trade negotiation colors. Two ships arrive at Nazgar and open trade negotiations, offering their best produce first and foremost; Firearms, field artillery, gunpowder and sabres, and offering some luxuries and fish. One other arrives at Wienburg, and the final 2 ships arrive at Carnovon. The same trading goods are offered, and maps are requested from each so they have better understandings of the region.

i did miss that post, sorry. but washk was able to push past because your army hadnt blocked his movement

the timeskip was because we were just heading out over no mans and nothing was happening

in any event, deleting your nation is silly when there has been the option of diplomacy this entire time, but you are free to do as you wish

if you're not leaving, then our armies will clash at the border

[Swat 3]

btw we accept conservatia's stuff

[Nizza Deutchsen Man]

We thank conservatia, and hand over maps of the regions we know off (practicaly the entire south coastline)

We also show off an example on one of our empty catboats, set out 100 yards or so. We launch a congreve rocket at it that swirls and zooms through the air finally blowing up the boat.

scotia offers an alliance to izlandia

[Mr. Hurricane]

I would plead that, due to timescale and numbers, that nations role play war at a strategic level, while moderators issue reports on specifics and how each army does. This sort of tactical micromanagement can turn bullstuffty quickly.

Conservatia finds themselves rather intrigued by the congreve rocket, and inquires about acquiring them through trade in return for the saddles required for their Zamburaks, that enable them to fire rifles/smaller cannons from the back of camels.

This seems like the best course of action.

The govt. passes one-year of mandatory service in the military.

Begin creating fortifications along rivers Sonodine City is located.

Begin centralization efforts and offer subsidies for constructing settlements on rivers.
