Mather, suffice to say you do not have 'more than enough' resources with a 30 million population and a GDP of, maybe, 400 Billion? If we pushed the boat out?

Mather, Retech is no where near 99% safe. Unless you are planning to spend a few hundred billion dollars in the defensive effort, to take down a couple of million dollar rockets, you will never achieve anything approaching 99%.

Mather, mini-missiles, along with Japanese defences, will, at best, stop 85 out of 100 missiles.

The current boundries between Russia and China.

As soon as Dungeonal and Ross give me plans of attack or diplomacy...

:-D Can you send me some details when you have them Ico.

Because COSS is mildly annoying...like a bee that won't leave you alone...so what do you do? You swat it. Anyway Ico is unlikely to invade, Japan is having enough problems without enraging Switzerland, and Scandinavia is not a massive concern at the present moment.

I wouldn't...well unless you want to explore the deep sea...

Kk, as long as one or both of us are aware/ :thumbsup:

Can you pm me the details when you have the time doom?

Switzerland activates part of Operation Limpet....that is all.

Switzerland announces 'Operation BP' To this end 13 projects have begun all with a 'reported' budget of 20 Million Coif, or 3,396,226,415 Dollars, most of which comes under the education budget, since the research is done at universities. Or 261,248,185 each. In any case the projects are thus: Solaris Supermarine Biosoft COSS-SACK If at First... Solar Shield First Strike Wintering Out Geodesic Snow Fall Anymore The Golden Hind Just Incase Entrapment Australia may ask to co-operate on some of the projects.

Switzerland cannot confirm nor deny its motivation or even inclination to do anything.

Swiss plans to deorbit COSS are leaked, preferably when no one is onboard but its not really a must. Retech what is your decision in Madagascar or you are gonna get attacked. Also they were not on the big map, and its not really clear which units were moving where and traweling through posts at 2 am, when you have a pounding headache and are feeling increasingly like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iPuxHnSUKE Killing Civilians is probably a bad idea.

Just one of those random things I will say... Polaris, Britian's Nuclear Deterrant in 1980s... 4 Polaris Submarines 16 Missiles in each 3 Warheads per missile So 192 in total... This system would be effective up until about 2005... When a Multilayed Ballistic Missile Defence was developed in the USA...Which was 2/5 effective. Thus if a, small*, 1980s missile system would still be able to drop...115 out of 192...over half...of its bombs, against a state of the the art system(well alright, a US System =P) then I don't seriously think that missile interception will have advanced by any significant way by 2022. We may be able to defeat the 99% of the old Polaris Missiles...But even if 1 or 2 warhead/missiles got though, carrying a Rocco brand Thermobaric warhead of doom, that would be enough to devestate, London, Paris, Brussles, Rio, Washington, Moscow... *Britian had 192 verses 1,200 Russian missiles for Britian alone... Thus it is almost certain that if you launch 200 missiles, you will break though with at least 1 or 2 of your missiles. Yeah its CONSIDERABLY more expensive...but if you happen to take out some vital city then its just as effective....Thus the only real option is a system of deterance...ie more missiles....course that leads to an arms races, leads to the whole game going up because Brazil coughed. Anyway, just warning you that anti-missile missiles/guns/whatever, are of limited effectiveness...Unless you happen to place an anti-air battery every....500 meters or so across your entire country, and have them manned at all times....super expensive...Or have them all on computer systems an occasionally have 99 red ballons cause you to 'accidently' destroy your neighbours.

The UN is disgusted by Turkey's flippancy and has called for a vote to embargo the country.

Turkey and Italy Retaliates Against Japan after Plans Leaked to Attack Australia. Australia says 'No danger of being caught off guard by that lumbering War Machine' This massive conflict was started earlier this year when Turkey launched some 350 ICBMs. 325 of this missiles were targeted at Japanese Cities on the Home Islands. However Japan's extensive anti-missile technology managed to intercept some 254 of them, leaving only 71 to get though. The cities of Miyazaki, Osaka, Tokyo, Fukushima and Sendai have been almost entirely obliterated, with moderate damage being present in Kagoshima, Nagasaki and Kochi. Solitary missiles managed to land in Hiroshima, Nagano, Mito and Akita. The Japanese Navy halted its advance instantly and began to prepare for an assualt, having been told not to advance until confirmation had been recieved. The other 25 ICBMs impacted into Madagascar. Devestating the cities of Antisiranana, Mahajanga, Mananara, Maintirano, Saka, Fianarantsoa and Toliara. Ironically this has had a minor stablising effect with the destruction of one of the warring factions and some negotiation between the two remaining sides, both agreeing that dividing Madagascar into two halves, along with three Japanese naval ports, with a troop limit of 30,000, would be the best and safest course of action and have told the Japanese as such. If Japan does not accept these terms, and stick to these terms then the two sides will unite in defence of the country. Meanwhile the Italian Navy has landed forces at Tangse, Bangko, Moro, Bedok and Bakam. Some 150,000 troops overwhelmed the similar sized garrison force in Malaysia and the Western most Island in the Indonesian Chain. Malaysian troops were forced across the Northern Border into Thailand, where they have taken temporary respite, although the Thai Authorities have warned that they must be removed immediately. On the Western most Isle there was particularly intense fighting, with isolated hotspots rising up, both for and against the Japanese Overlords. In the end though a combination of luck and incomplete defensive fortifications lead the Italian army to victory. The key turing point has been seen as the battle of Jangkat, where 20,000 Japanese Surrendered after a Japanese aircraft crash landed and destroyed a supply dump. Added to this the use of Italian tanks played a vital role in forcing out defenders. However Italian forces are having a hard time controlling the Indonesias, who, far from being happy to have been liberated, are now attacking the Italians. Already there have been two major uprisings, partly faciliated by Japanese POWs escaping. Thusly 43,000 Italians have died, with another 59,000 wounded, and 3,000 captured and taken south to Jakarta. Comparatively 39,000 Japanese have died, with 48,000 wounded, but 43,000 were captured. Italian reinforcements, numbering 25,000, 10,000 of which were medical, have spent the majority of their efforts keeping people alive, with law and order being largely left in the civilian domain. While plans indicate that Italy had planned to move much further into the Indonesian Archipeligo, this intial assault would have left them undersupplyed for the next spate of Island Hopping. Japanese ships stationed at Sadang have moved to prevent an Island crossing Via Bandar Lampung. Australia has launched a number of limited counter offensives, however has only met with the capture of Lewa, and now face the prospect of a protracted siege as forces in the rest of the small island attempt to retake the city. However this was better than had been fared at Kupang, where Australian forces were repulsed entirely. Australia also moved to engage one of the Japanese battle groups stationed off the coast of Pulau Kisar. The two sides shelled each other of some hours, but eventually Japanese naval superiority won the day with the destruction of 5 frigates, 6 destroyers and 1 sub. However Japan lost 2 frigates and the aircraft carrier, along with 100 planes, due to submarine attacks. With the intial engagements fought, and the destruction of numerous Japanese Cities one wonders if Japan will not retaliate with some kind of bombing run, or possibly missile attack of its own...or if the destruction of these key centers of industry have paralysed Japan to much. Indications have shown a 30% drop in GDP already, and this may only be the tip of the iceburg. Not forgetting Madagascar and Japan's earlier defeats in Yemen and Oman, it is becoming painfully apparent that Japan has over-extended itself, leaving itself open to this devestating attack by the combined forces of Australia, Turkey and Italy...an unlikely combination if ever there was one. In other news five Australian tankers have been sunk by Turkish mines left over from the defence of the mainland, leading to supply shortages in Lewa. Turkey is facing the wrath of the UN after deliberately killing over three million civilians in thermobaric attacks. Italy faces a rebellious crisis in Mayalsia and Indonesia. The scores again: Italy: 105,000 units out of the war. Japan: 123,000 units out of the war, 2 frigates and an aircraft carrier. 30% of GDP and major cities destroyed, with 3,000,000 Civilians dead. Australia: 4,000 units out of the war, 6 destroyers, 5 frigates and 1 submarine, 5 tankers. Turkey: 350 ICBMs Maps follow Madagascar [hide][/hide] Battle Plans [hide][/hide] Current: [hide][/hide] World Map update:(for people who don't care) [hide][/hide]

Ok Earth.

Japan- The Darleks of Hegemony.

Ico you could just bankrupt the Japanese Government by trying to buy all the Japanese Companies....

Ok then, Japan has attacked Australia, the plans have been submitted and now there is nothing anyone can do.

Portugal accepts Spain's Apology, on condition that Spain gives up Valencia and the North West tip of the Iberian Penisula, as well as pays 5 Trillion Dollars(at 5 Billion a year, at 5% interest) to Portugal in reperations. Spain itself has accepted the wage rise, but is terribly unhappy with the government, and will not stand for any more random killing sprees.

Err...if you are sure....Just don't expect it to work.

"There is only one thing we can do now...Invade Off Topic. Dusty, you research some videos and Ross prepare the posts, I will pm Grim to see if he is interested too....and me? I'll get my Exosuit and go totally pschyo! Civil Right for HEGEMONY!!!" And so on and so forth....

I think the new tactic is wait until you use it and then smash the tech then...
