heres 2 good europe maps

Japan arguably has the second-best navy in the Pacific, centered around four helicopter-carrying destroyers, nine guided-missile destroyers, 34 destroyers, and 18 diesel-electric submarines. A large number of these ships (two of the guided-missile destroyers, 13 of the destroyers, and nine of the submarines) have entered service were since 1995, making this a very modern force. The rate of ship construction has held its own with China (which has added eight destroyers, 12 frigates, and 10 submarines in that timeframe), and this is with Japan arguably holding back.

Japan’s air force is similarly modern, and is built around the F-15J (a variant of the F-15C) and the F-2 (a stealthier version of the F-16 with four additional hardpoints). The total quantity of the F-15J force is about 200 aircraft (counting the combat-capable F-15DJ two-seater). Currently, 130 F-2s are authorized (49 are presently in service), but the figure could likely go higher as the 92 F-4EJ Kai Phantoms are retired as well. This is smaller than the 380 Su-27/Su-30MKKs in the Chinese air force, but Japan has a huge advantage, in airborne early warning aircraft, over China, having operated E-2s since the 1980s, and is now acquiring the E-767, four of which are currently in service. China might have four A-50 Mainstay aircraft in service as of 2005, but this is a huge if, and they are trailing Japan by 15 years in learning how to use them.

Japan’s economy is half that of China ($3.4 trillion to $6.7 trillion), but Japan gets its GDP from a population that is about 10 percent of China’s. Japan also holds a significant lead in technology (for instance, the Civic and Prius hybrids that are on the road today were designed in Japan), and its shipbuilding program continues (two diesel-electric submarines, two helicopter-carrying destroyers, two new Aegis guided-missiles destroyers, and four more Takanami-class destroyers are planned to join the fleet by 2010)

you know that ounce this starts it will never end because all thses armys are matched in strength lol

Lads it time to prepare for a LONG war

REPRESENTATIVE FOR NORTH KOREA

North Korea Special Forces and WMD –

North Korea is in a position to wage “asymmetric warfare,” said Moon, because of the steady growth in its special operations forces and in its capabilities to develop chemical and biological weapons.

“North Korea is believed to have more than 100,000 special operations forces [soldiers] and hold a stockpile of 2,500 to 5,000 tons of anthrax and chemical agents,” he said. That would make North Korea’s special operations force twice as large as that of the United States, which has about 46,000 members.

www.nationaldefensemagazine.org...


Missile Capability-

The Taep'o-dong-2 (TD-2) is said to be a two or three stage missile. North Korea has given various names to the Taep'o-dong missile, such as No-dong-3, Hwasong (Mars)-2 and Moksong (Jupiter)-2. Over time, the estimated range has grown substantially. It was initially estimated to have a range of 4,000 km, but is currently estimated to have a range of up to 15,000 km. The throw weight is variously estimated as great as 1,000 kg [for the lower end of the range spectrum] to a few hundred kilograms at the upper end of the range spectrum.

On 16 February 2005 Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, U.S. Navy, Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, testified that the " ... Taepo Dong 2 intercontinental ballistic missile may be ready for testing. This missile could deliver a nuclear warhead to parts of the United States in a two stage variant and target all of North America with a three stage variant. "


Military Strategy-

The Korean People's Army (KPA) is structured and deployed on the primacy of the offense. Doctrine stresses that decisive results can be obtained only through offensive operations. The offense has three objectives: the destruction of enemy forces, the seizure and control of territory, and the destruction of the enemy's will to fight.

In order for the KPA's military strategy to succeed on the battlefield, the KPA would have to achieve initial strategic surprise and execute its operations quickly. The most critical period would probably be choosing when and where to commit the mobile exploitation forces


Nuclear Weapon Developments –

In early February 2005 it was reported that US intelligence officials had concluded with near certainty that Libya had acquired processed uranium from the DPRK, and not Pakistan.

North Korea announced on 10 February 2005 that it had nuclear weapons and was suspending its participation in the six-party talks which involved the United States, North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia. The country's foreign ministry said North Korea developed weapons to protect itself from the United States.

CHINA:

ShadowXIX and ignorant_ape, feel free to let me know what I should edit, remove/replace or whatever.

The People's Republic of China is the fourth largest country in the world, following Russia, Canada and the US. Its capital is Beijing, and its largest city being Shanghai. The PRC borders 14 nations and as of 2005 had a population of 1, 306, 300, 000 people. It is a Communist one party state, but as of the past decade or so the economic system has been leaning progressively closer to a state of Capitalism.

Also as of late China has been increasing defence spending and modernizing its forces. It has the worlds largest army, called the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which has 2.25 million troops. But this is just a number, as the People's Armed Police, Navy, Air Force and artillery (missile forces) all fall into the jurisdiction of the PLA. Beginning from the late 80's, the PLA started to transform itself from a massive, land-based army, to a smaller, more advanced and more mobile force, possibly because of the diminishing threat of a Russian invasion from the north. But although this was and is happening, the objective being to give China a force that could strike outside its own borders, the PLA has been described as still having "short arms and weak legs."

Although not the most modern army in the world, the PLA is slowly re-structuring itself from its prior Soviet doctrines into a more suitable force to cope with future land warfare. In recent years, the PLA has began buying and designing more advanced weapons systems using its increased defence spenditure, and has added new weapons platforms such as the Su-27 (ohhh yeah) and Su-33 jet aircraft, the diesel-electric Kilo class attack submarine, and some Sovremenny Class destroyers. It has also focused a fair bit of attention to applications for lasers on the battle-field.

But the main interest of the PLA during the past decade has been air defence. After seeing the importance and practicality of air defence during the Coalition offensives on Iraq, the PLA realized that it should focus itself on protecting its airspace. Soviet style air defence systems were set up, modified to not just cope with China's hilly and varying terrain, but to use it to the PLA's advantage. Purchases of production licences of such air defence systems like the S-300PMU-1/SA-10D "Grumble," a state-of-the-art self-contained highly-mobile long-range surface-to-air missile system, have given it unprecedented capabilities concerning air defence.

The common belief the the Chinese Army is ill-manned and un-equipped is plain wrong.

MY bad posted the same thing twice lol

[edit on 1-12-2005 by WERE_ALL_GONA_DIE]

The Russian military is divided into the following branches: Ground Forces, Navy, and Air Force. There are also three independent troops (actually Corps): Strategic Missile Troops, Military Space Troops, Airborne Troops. The Anti-air Defense Troops are subordinated to the Air Force

The Navy consists of four fleets:

Baltic Fleet (based at Baltiysk in the enclave of Kaliningrad - formerly Königsberg).
Pacific Fleet (based at Vladivostok).
Northern Fleet (based at Murmansk).
Black Sea Fleet (based at Sevastopol, now part of Ukraine. In 2005, the Ukrainian government confirmed that Russia's lease on the Sevastopol base will be honored at least until 2017.)

The available manpower for the various branches of the Armed Forces was estimated at 36 million in 2003. According to Russian reports, in FY 2002, there was about a 40% increase in arms procurement spending. However, even this increase is not enough to make up for the budget shortfalls of the previous decade. Russia's struggling arms producers will, therefore, intensify their efforts to seek sales to foreign governments

Women also serve in the Russian military, though in far lesser numbers than men. As of 2005, there were approximately 90,000 women serving in the various branches. Women usually serve in support roles, most commonly in the fields of nursing, communications, and engineering.

The primary responsibilities of the Russian Ground Forces, traditionally referred to as the Army, are the protection of the state border, combat on dry land, the security of occupied territories, and the crushing defeat of the enemy and his troops. They must be able to achieve these goals both in nuclear war and non-nuclear war, especially without the use of weapons of mass destruction. Furthermore, they must be capable of protecting the national interests of Russia within the framework of its international obligations

The Strategic Rocket Forces , RVSN - Raketnye Vojska Strategicheskogo Naznachneiya, were the main Soviet force used for attacking an enemy's offensive nuclear weapons, its military facilities, and its industrial infrastructure. They operated all Soviet ground-based intercontinental, intermediate-range, and medium-range nuclear missiles with ranges over 1,000 kilometers. The Strategic Rocket Forces also conducted all Soviet space vehicle and missile launches. A the end of the Cold War the Strategic Rocket Forces, the newest Soviet armed service, were the preeminent armed service, based on the continued importance of their mission. Their prestige had diminished somewhat, however, because of an increasing emphasis on conventional forces.

Still need more members in NK, China, Russia, UK, Japan, and SK

Also we may need some idea of Taiwan's military capabilities, if that scenario comes up.

China and North Korea commanders:
Please formulate what your first move will be. It doesn't have to be an inciting incident, it could be just troop movements. U2U the judges when you are ready.

All commanders:
Please familiarise yourselves with standard military symbols. On the large maps being posted, please position your assets by balloon boxes, out from where those particular assets are located.

Also please familiarise yourselves with the concept of T.E.W.T. (Tactical Exercise Without Troops). If you already have a military background, you should be able to explain to your fellow team members. Otherwise I will give an example later on.

Proposed Rules:

Engagements will be defender vs. attacker.

Time will be provisionally 24hrs real time = 1hr Game time.
This can be slowed down or sped up depending on the amount going on.

Moves are unlimited and only constrained to reality and time in 1 hour blocks.

Resupply will be very important.

Asymmetric Tactics, Special Force Ops and WMDs are allowed, but use must be discussed with the judges first.

A move will consist of sending troop movements to the judges. We will then update the situation boards and post likely outcomes.

All ideas and opinions are welcome. Let's have some fun with this!

Any angle, zoom, or area can be done to any detail required.

C-5B 126 deployed with Active Duty/Reserve forces
# Able to take off fully loaded within 8,300 feet (2,530 meters) and land within 4,900 feet (1,493 meters).
# High flotation landing gear with 28 wheels sharing the weight.
# Nose and aft doors that open the full width and height of the cargo compartment to permit faster and easier loading.
# A "kneeling" landing gear system that permits lowering of the parked aircraft so the cargo floor is at truck-bed height or to facilitate vehicle loading and unloading.
# Full width drive-on ramps at each end for loading double rows of vehicles.
# A system that records and analyzes information and detects malfunctions in more than 800 test points.

The Galaxy has 12 internal wing tanks with a total capacity of 51,150 gallons (194,370 liters) of fuel -- enough to fill 6 1/2 regular size railroad tank cars. A full fuel load weighs 332,500 pounds (150,820 kilograms). A C-5 with a cargo load of 270,000 pounds (122,472 kilograms) can fly 2,150 nautical miles, offload, and fly to a second base 500 nautical miles away from the original destination -- all without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling, the aircraft's range is limited only by crew endurance.

C-141C 20 deployed with Reserve forces.
Either 200 troops, 155 paratroops, 103 litters and 14 seats, or 68,725 lbs (31,239 kilograms) of cargo

C-17A 126 deployed with Active Duty/Air National Guard forces.
Maximum payload capacity of the C-17 is 170,900 pounds (77,519 kilograms), and its maximum gross takeoff weight is 585,000 pounds (265,352 kilograms). With a payload of 160,000 pounds (72,575 kilograms) and an initial cruise altitude of 28,000 feet (8,534 meters), , the C-17 has an unrefueled range of approximately 2,400 nautical miles. Its cruise speed is approximately 450 knots (.74 Mach). The C-17 is designed to airdrop 102 paratroopers and equipment.

The design of the aircraft allows it to operate through small, austere airfields. The C-17 can take off and land on runways as short as 3,000 feet (914 meters) and only 90 feet wide (27.4 meters). Even on such narrow runways, the C-17 can turn around using a three-point star turn and its backing capability.

KC-135R/T 530 deployed with Active Duty/ANG/Reserve forces.
Four turbofans, mounted under 35-degree swept wings, power the KC-135 to takeoffs at gross weights up to 322,500 pounds (146,285 kilograms). Nearly all internal fuel can be pumped through the tanker's flying boom, the KC-135 's primary fuel transfer method. A special shuttlecock-shaped drogue, attached to and trailing behind the flying boom, may be used to refuel aircraft fitted with probes. An operator stationed in the rear of the plane controls the boom. A cargo deck above the refueling system can hold a mixed load of passengers and cargo. Depending on fuel storage configuration, the KC-135 can carry up to 83,000 pounds (37,648 kilograms) of cargo.

In Southeast Asia, KC-135 Stratotankers made the air war different from all previous aerial conflicts. Midair refueling brought far-flung bombing targets within reach. Combat aircraft, no longer limited by fuel supplies, were able to spend more time in target areas.

KC-10A/B 59 deployed with Active Duty forces.
The KC-10 can transport up to 75 people and nearly 170,000 pounds (76,560 kilograms) of cargo a distance of about 4,400 miles (7,040 kilometers) unrefueled.

In addition to the three main DC-10 wing fuel tanks, the KC-10 has three large fuel tanks under the cargo floor, one under the forward lower cargo compartment, one in the center wing area and one under the rear compartment. Combined, the capacity of the six tanks carry more than 356,000 pounds (160,200 kilograms) of fuel - almost twice as much as the KC-135 Stratotanker.

Using either an advanced aerial refueling boom, or a hose and drogue centerline refueling system, the KC-10 can refuel a wide variety of U.S. and allied military aircraft within the same mission. The aircraft is equipped with lighting for night operations.

The USAF also has the option of the US Civil Reserve Fleet, in which US airlines/cargo carriers are required to allow the USAF to use their aircraft to transport troops and cargo to a combat theater, to back up the USAF airlift.

USN Sealift

# The Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force, or NFAF, provides direct support for Navy combatant ships, allowing them to remain at sea for extended periods. NFAF ships replenish supplies, including food, fuel and ammunition for forces afloat. Other NFAF ships conduct underwater surveillance and provide towing services to Navy ships at sea. These ships are crewed by civilian mariners and also carry Navy departments ranging in size from four to 67 people. Civilian crews operate the ships, and military personnel provide communications support, coordinate supply operations and conduct helicopter operations.
# The Special Mission Support Force -- the smallest component of MSC's three forces -- carries out a variety of highly specialized missions. MSC Special Mission ships provide specialized services for the Navy and the federal government including surveying the world's oceans and performing counter-drug operations. MSC Special Mission ships work with scientific and military commands to combat drug smuggling, monitor international compliance with strategic arms treaties and lay submarine cable. All of these ships are Navy-owned and are operated by civil service mariners or contractor employed mariners. Military and civilian scientists and technicians carry out the specializes missions of various types of ships.
# The Strategic Sealift Force is MSC's third and largest force of ships. The mission of this force is to deploy and sustain U.S. military forces, wherever needed, through delivery of equipment, petroleum products and other supplies. In peacetime, more than 95 percent of DoD's dry cargo is transported on regularly scheduled, commercial U.S.-flag liners. MSC operates a privately owned fleet of more than 35 dry cargo ships and tankers under long-term contract to support this peacetime sealift mission. The Strategic Sealift Force has various types of ships to support an operational contingency: Afloat Prepositioning Force, which consists of Maritime Prepositioning Ships and other prepositioning ships; two hospital ships; two aviation logistics support ships; Fast Sealift Ships and the Ready Reserve Force.

Okay. We have all this information, with more on the way, now; what are we going to do with it? We need a plan on how this is all going to work.
I suggest we should base this on a turn-based strategy game, so then everyone gets a fair turn and it won't get muddled. With that suggested points system, no. I think the judges should decide who wins a particular battle, with the combatanants having an almost debate like arguement, expllaining the weapons they will use, the tactics, the commanders, all relating to an exact geographical location on a map.
And will the maps be hosted on this thread, or another site? Questions we need to ask ourselves.

And no nukes. They exist as a deterrent only. The US would just win this in a flash: "okay Sam, here are the launch codes. Now get those commie fleabags."

I think that as far as the strategy and weapons go, each side should tell that only to the judges for a particular battle and not let each other know it. It would just be too easy, if you tell where you’re going and what you’re bringing then it’s easier to counter. In a war you don't know those things ahead of time.

Yes yes, that is true.
