suggested battle group templates

[FCM]

ive come up with a few battle group templates i feel could give extra depth to future recwar operations

air assault battle group:
10,000 paratroops
5 assault helicopters
5 cargo helicopters
light artillery battalion - 1000 men, 150 artillery pieces, 50 heavy mg's


mechanised infantry battle group:
10,000 infantry
600 infantry fighting vehicles
100 light tanks (scout type)


amphibious assault battle group:
10,000 marines
10 assault helicopters
50 transport hovercraft


armoured battle group:
1000 infantry
100 infantry fighting vehicles
400 main battle tanks


special forces battle group:
2500 parachute trained special forces (sas type)
2500 amphibious trained special forces (sbs type)
with laser designators, guerilla warfare training, booby trap training, shaped charge anti vehicle explosives (think ied), claymore mines, anti tank missiles, manual and remote detonating high explosives

ooo nice

[FCM]

bout time we set up an imperial military academy actually, we may aswell train everyone who joins the ndf in usin the rules to our advantage, basic tactics, defending cities, attacking cities etc

id put together a small course plan for it

[Nathan]

do it! ;D

[FCM]

ok all i need is a board in the MoD with a sub board for excercises
i'll start writing a basic course wen i get a free minute, obviously dont expect it to be perfect lol i imagine it'll need alot of updating as i get more expirience recwarring and as i pick up useful info on the subject.

[Nathan]

it has to be a seperate forum from the MoD to have sub-forums.

i put it right below this one. I'll make you Commandant of it.


do we want to call it anything other than Imperial Military Academy?

[FCM]

well perhaps " the imperial military academy, (city name)" depends where we choose to base it.
or we can just keep it as it is

[Nathan]

would it be prudent to require all officers to take these courses? therefore we'd have a professionally trained recwar officer class... something perhaps unique among micronations.

we'd require all officers to have a Bachelor's degree in Military Studies, that only the Academy can get you.

good idea or would it just deter people from joining?

I think that biffo should be promoted to Lt. General in light of his success in the war and the establishment of the IMA

[Nathan]

that sounds fine
