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

[CypherX]

considering where you are you probably have to buy an example, i mean you can try your hand at making your own but by the time that dev cycle is over we're going to be using the next generation of rifles

ask conservatia, they were actually the first ones to use these in thread and im p sure you have trade with them

[Mikoyan]

What do you have to offer?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyse_needle_gun

the dreyse needle gun is an enormously important landmark in firearms, and it was introduced over a decade ago. the engines are a first time proof of concept work

Huh, I'd actually never heard of it. I stand corrected.

1.  But does it factor in the ≈1.4 million death toll within all provinces including recently-occupied E. Arcon?  Simple number crunching would suggest otherwise.

2.  Yeah I kinda expected that this could happen.  Romekate forces were not permitted to control the entirety of the forts either.  At least 40% of forces in forts were Arconian militias.  Municipal occupation forces were also primarily militias.  Multiple forces were to stay on guard in watchful positions both in the event of PNP and foreign threat.  Additionally, one thing that was held in solidarity, is that if another nation's forces were to occupy Arconian land, the Arconian forces were to unite and later solve their squabbles.  Kind of like how Kyrev unified during what I like to call the "Southern Squabble Period."

The militias on the ground would immediately engage the Romekati forces.  Marksmen in watchful positions would target commanding officers.  Soldiers in areas with substantial artillery presence are also marked.

The Arconian Militia Collective (The new national standing army outside of E. Arcon) does not yet move into the territory, but does not release any information regarding its intention of whether or not to take control.

i disagree with your methods of number crunching, i guess. i had 12-13 million people in pre-war territory, and i just assumed that gruzia-nec and east arcon had enough population to hit 20 mil after casualty counts. you yourself mentioned west sunyong alone carrying 2.7 million people at one point. or are all the civilians immediately willing to take up arms valiantly? of course, the 20 million figure isn't valid in my eyes anymore either but that's just because gruzia is a vassal now and not annexed.

furthermore, do you really think that romekate forces would just be mixed in with the militias when the order is sent? it's like step 1 for them to not be mixed in when the annexation announcement is called, and i didn't mention it because it's sort of the baseline of what's implied considering i tried migrating the militia out before.

if they /are/ mixed in, though, then there was a strictly romekati-eyes-only order to destroy the militia before the annexation announcement was sent. of course, since i disagree with the notion that they were mixed, this is probably voided. unless you insist on giving me the opening attack.

The economy of Samhe Sol is discussed by the Councillery of Sani Kohet.
Roads in Samhe Sol are improved once again. Zoning begins to be implemented in major Soli cities.

[Regirock]

This is where I want my nation to be by the way, I put one of my towns on the coastline but I wasn't sure if you'd be able to see it or not so uh

High command gratefully declines the offer. A message to the high chief (?) states that open trade with the CLF would currently be a risk not worth taking for Samhe Sol. It also expresses desire for more formal meetings later on, as many military leaders of the CLF have taken interest in Soli culture.

As word of revolution spreads across the Caliphate, many are skeptical. News of atrocities has trouble reaching those residing in urban areas as the press is extremely censored. However, those in rural areas quickly learn all of what is happening a little ways to the East. Many young men leave farms and ranches to join the cause of the CLF.

No major battles occur, which swings the advantage to the rebels, who mostly rely on hit-and-run tactics at the moment. Hundreds of supply trains and troop patrols are ambushed and harvested of equipment. General Sedik and the high command of the CLF begins preparing for an offensive in the eastern regions of the caliphate, which is bound to happen sooner rather than later.

General Sedik releases a statement outlining concerns of further atrocity and oppression and aspirations of his revolution. The statement is delivered to all known governments of the world and international support is requested.

Samhe Sol is glad to have formal meetings with the CLF, btw CLF, can we buy a sample of one of your guns?

The Councillery splits the Constabulary in two, creating the Department of Constables and the Department of Defense

The 5th and 6th line infantry brigades are ordered to hunt down and eliminate the rebel forces, to prevent any more government forces from having to deploy. The commanding officer of the deployed forces, expecting a quick and decisive battle, marches his forces straight into enemy territory without scouting ahead. They form extremely long columns for movement and prepare to set themselves up for traditional battle.

After about 12 miles of marching, several parts of the column are suddenly fired at by men on horseback. As soon as the attack begins, it ends, and the army continues marching. This happens more and more along their route of choice.

After hours of this happening and hundreds of men dead or wounded, the army begins to retreat. On the march back, more intense barrages occur, some even with cannon.

As the army approaches its garrison, they see smoke. The rebels burn the base to the ground and take the guards prisoner. The government army has no choice but to surrender to Sedik's regular army. All prisoners are told why the revolution is occurring and are given the option to join the cause or return home.

can we buy one of your guns

[Mikoyan]

One of the bolt action rifles? Sure. They were an operational failure as far as I know though, and were never improved upon because the army just went back to using muskets.
