ZPNESV: Flowers on the Razor Wire (World Conquest)

Yes it adds up to your 'account' shown on the map. The update text just lists the income for that turn.
 
Phew. Cool; my orders will be that all soldiers are to be fortified, and the money saved. :p
 
Peoples Republic Orders
All units of the Peoples Republic hereby merge with COBRA. May they continue to fight for the greater cause and its ultimate success.
 
Roflbreaker.

I just realized, shouldn't the NES forum be more spam-incentive?
 
I'm in as the USSB if that's all right. Don't worry, I'll defend my territory from Duckistan and Khilafat.
 
Wait, Darth, you're quitting? Or was the 'I'm out' thing about how you weren't going to restart the memetic mutation of Hail COBRA?

Click to expand...

Actually it was because I was out of words that would be fitting to replace COBRA...I had pale something.

I am still very much in this NES.
 
The textbook lesson on how to slaughter militia have been SENT! Hopefully that COBRA siege tank comes by to be amazed!:D

Offensive Action

The war continues on three continents. In Europe, both sides throw everything at each other's weak points and chaos ensues. There is some hope for the Afrikaaner resistance and Duckistani defences are put to the test in the Far East. As the dust settles it seems the war may be taking a new direction.

* Khilāfat Qurṭuba announces it is formally uniting with the Duckistani Empire!
* A sudden rebellion occurs in Al-Atlas (see very end of Notes). The Martyr's Empire declares itself neutral for now.
* Factory in Karelia is still being repaired.
* USSB is still unable to set up an official capitol in Reichland.
* USSB bomber attempts strategic bombing of Novograd: not enough damage is caused, but the bomber escapes flak defences.

Doctrines

Eurasian Alliance (Duckistani Empire, ?) has the following:

Spoiler :
Spoiler Doctrine: Requisition :

Effects:
  • Receive a one-time +$8 bonus when first implemented (but not if this doctrine is shared from an ally). This bonus can be spent immediately.
  • Receive +$2 bonus for every successful battle that involves land units on both sides, offensive or defensive. If multiple allies are involved, this bonus only goes to one faction.

Spoiler Doctrine: Intelligence :

Effects:
  • target any one territory per turn, can include sea zones and enemy capitols.
  • on a dice roll of 2 or more, you get a +1 strength bonus against all enemy forces there during the turn.
  • on a dice roll of 5 or 6, you get a +2 strength bonus against all enemy forces there during the turn.
  • allies will share this information. If multiple allies use this on the same territory, the bonus is not cumulative, however the highest bonus will be used for all.
  • if left unused, you will automatically roll to cancel out any enemy intelligence efforts in your territory or adjacent sea zones.

Spoiler Doctrine: Combined Arms :
(newly implemented by Duckistan. Now available to Khilāfat Qurṭuba)
Effects:
  • any battle involving your foot soldiers, tanks/vehicles and aircraft together (foot, mechanised and air ALL needed) will gain +1 strength for all units. Allied units have their own command structure and do not count towards this!
  • if triggered, and on a dice roll (at the start of combat) of 5 or 6, you gain a +2 strength bonus instead.
  • these bonuses will apply for every following combat round, regardless of losses or retreats.

Spoiler Doctrine: Airpower :

Effects:
  • all air units have +1 maximum range compared to normal, and +1 strength when fighting within their normal (original) range.
  • helicopters receive no bonus from this.

Trans-Oceanic Alliance (Technocrats, Iron Fascists, Union of Soviet Socialist Belki, COBRA, People's Republic, Afrikaan Forces Suud, Shogunate of Great Honshu, New Zealand) has the following:

Spoiler :
Spoiler Doctrine: Requisition :
(newly implemented by Duckistan. Now available to Khilāfat Qurṭuba)
Effects:
  • Receive a one-time +$8 bonus when first implemented (but not if this doctrine is shared from an ally). This bonus can be spent immediately.
  • Receive +$2 bonus for every successful battle that involves land units on both sides, offensive or defensive. If multiple allies are involved, this bonus only goes to one faction.

Spoiler Doctrine: Airpower :

Effects:
  • all air units have +1 maximum range compared to normal, and +1 strength when fighting within their normal (original) range.
  • helicopters receive no bonus from this.

Spoiler Doctrine: Guerrilla Warfare :

Effects:
  • you can build militia for $2.
  • infantry can morph into militia at will. They cannot morph back to infantry, however.
  • although militia have Strength 0, they gain a saving throw of Hide: 3. This means, on a saving roll of 1 to 3, they will not be destroyed, but will inflitrate/lurk in the territory till next turn, without contesting control of the territory.
  • instead of attacking normally, militia can optionally sabotage an enemy city/factory. A roll of 6 is success (or 5+ if the militia begins the turn already in the target territory), but a roll of 1 is being automatically caught and destroyed. Each militia gets a separate roll for this and it takes place before normal combat.
  • if an enemy territory is attacked (by non-militia ground units) while already infiltrated by allied militia at the start of the turn, all enemy defenders suffer a -1 strength penalty.
  • when you lose a territory, you will gain random (one dice roll, divided by 2 if not your capitol, rounded up) militia infiltrators behind enemy lines, provided the territory has been held for two consecutive turns.

Lots of Notes

I haven't got around to new unit options yet. I'm afraid that will have to wait until next turn.

I remind Gelion that he now has $18 to spend.

Clarifying (?) new rules on movement (now repeated on first page):
Spoiler :
EDIT: Battles and movement, on land and sea, will now happen simultaneously. I will now do my best to explain this: Some units have two points of 'move', and this means each turn consists of two different 'phases'. Units with only one 'move' can move during either phase, but not both. Units with two 'move' can move during both phases, if they want. Regardless of 'move', any surface units can end up fighting twice during the turn as they encounter enemies. Note that units may have to hang around for one 'phase' in order to launch a combined attack with mobile units moving up from behind... In order to launch a blitzkrieg-style invasion with mobile units, all attacks should start the turn on the front lines, so they can use both 'move' points to invade enemy territory.

Note that transports have a move of 'two'. If they move two sea zones before unloading (IE, they unload during the second 'phase' of the turn), then the first phase has already passed. In this case units can still unload as normal, but any unloaded tanks etc cannot do a blitz-style move afterwards.

Aircraft fit into this ambiguously. They can potentially fight during both phases, but are limited in the amount of kills they can inflict, and only get one mission/target zone per turn (anywhere within their range of operation). If there is a chance for ground/ship support, they will tend to loiter and wait for it to arrive before pressing an attack.

Fortification:

Any ground unit (except Militia) that stays in place for a whole turn will automatically become fortified. It will gain +1 strength in combat and a saving-throw option of Toughness: 1 alongside any existing saves (currently this can only be negated by Stormtroopers). Fortification is lost when the unit moves out of the territory, it cannot be passed to other units.


Fortification didn't affect this turn as no units were fortified, but the rule is in effect now, as you may see on the map.

'Shock Weapon' revision: this was too powerful. Any non-lethal artillery/battleship/bomber hits will give a -2 strength penalty to victim for one combat round. But the victim will still have a chance to fire back at enemies.

Battleships can only provide fire-support if they are in the exact same sea zone that the amphibious landing is being launched from (else imagine possible scenarios with areas like Mexico, etc). That is why the Technofascist battleships are still in the Gold Coast zone.

Battleships will no longer negate armour in shore bombardment, it was too easy for them to wipe out enemy tanks without any risk to themselves.

I anticipate further complaints on the above points. I argue that Battleships are not meant to be amazing land assault weapons :p

I decided that Militia alone will not count towards any bonus for multiple angles of attack (the situation in Kongo). But militia will give a +1 strength bonus to outside attack if they begin the turn already hiding in the target territory.

Victories against militia alone will not give any Requisition bonus.

A white star icon thing represents new units that have been captured on the assembly line, and have changed ownership.

Just for the fun of it a Gold Pointy Star now represents random Elite units that have survived at least two intense battles. Multiple stars represent Uber-Elite™ units. I will not post formal rules for this (there's already too many rules, and I haven't quite decided yet) but it will give some kind of slight bonus. This didn't count for this turn, it only comes into play from next turn onwards. If you think you should have more elite units let me know. I've been going through the old maps trying to find any hardened survivors.

Equally I haven't got formal rules for rebellions. But its more likely to happen with: battle losses suffered by occupying power, lack of garrisons, and general upset on the local continent. Only the original core areas of each nation/player are totally immune from rebellion (the original capitol and adjacent territories, plus the new capitol territory if it has changed).
