Japan and Yeman invaded Oman.

The Japanese force of some 25,000 landed in the north of the county outside of Muscat and quickly began surrounding cities.

Meanwhile 50,000 Yemanese Soliders advanced from the south, heading to Muscat as well, accompanied by 12,500 Japanese.

However during the invasion a Yemeny commander saw a Japanese Solider shoot an unarmed civilian, when challanged on the matter the Japanese Solider told the Commander "They are savages, not people." At which point a counter attack by the Yemeny forces routed the Japanese invaders, and, joining with the Oman defenders, proceeded north and forced the Japanese into the sea.

5,000 Japanse are being held in POW camps, along with 4,000 casualities. Oman suffered some 5,000 Casualities and Yemen 6,000.

The countries of Oman and Yemen have declared a mutual protection pact and have began very close work in improving both nations without the egocentric Japanese trying to craft Middle Easten Japanese.

 

Japan invades Madagascar.

With the break up of the Abbysinan Empire after the plane crash, which killed the entire royal family and the chief of staff, in full swing, Japan has installed a new government after landing 24,000 troops in three seperate attacks on the Island.

The Madagascan Island has been in the midst of civil war after the dissolution of the Empire and three groups had raised themselves as potential rulers. Japan's new government has decisively angered the inhabitance and insurgancy is common place.

The Japanese have barely managed to keep the cities under control with at least two attempts to start a full scale revolution.

Some 9,000 Japanese have died thus far, compared with some 2,000 Madagascan Soliders.

Despite Japan promising to modernise the area the living conditions have declined considerably as water, power and food shortages have plagued the area.

In addition to this five carrier ships have been sunk by Madagascans carrying plastic explosives, leading to further supply shortages for the Japanese forces stationed in Madagascar. The entire conflict has turned into a blood bath with Civilian casualties, from accidental, incidental, starvation and sepsis have climbed into the thousands.

Conflicting messages are coming out of the area, some saying that UN help is deeply required, others saying that UN aircraft will be shot down.

 

Situation in Uzbekistan

Turkey continues to anger the civilian population by not withdrawing and another 2,000 Turks have been killed, as well as 400 civilians/terrorists.

 

Situation in Mongolia

A ceasefire seems to have broken out.

 

Situation in Spain

Spanish deployment of missiles to destroy the city of Lisbon has lead to 500,000 Civilian deaths and the forced peace as Spainish Soliders mutiny against the government for allowing so many deaths. Portugal is seeking international aid with adminstrative paralysis and essentially the break down of the country as a whole.

9,000 Civilans have died since the attack took place due to starvation and other related issues.

Spain itself is teetering on the edge of civil war as attempts to depose the government take hold.

 

Abbysina Situation.

The Empire has broken down into 7 new powers, with much of Chad being absorbed into Algeria following troop movements there, Angola expanding to take advantage of the chaos, and Japan seizing control of Madagascar.

The Abbysinan State, focused in the Horn of Africa represents the continuation of power, but the country has servered all ties with Switzerland after the Swiss watched dispassionately, without any attempt to save the Empire. Its focuses are on Green Industry, National Unity and a good sized army.

South Africa, is, largely, the same as the old South African State, the only real difference being that the boarders have extended, and the army has got larger. Continued investment by the SSR has been cited as the main reason for growth. The army, navy and airforce being on par with 2009 Britain.

The Republic of Lusaka(just north of South Africa and East of Angola) represents one of the two attempts to Westernise, with an American style constitution and a commitment to Industrialisation at any cost, a small army is being fielded.

Uwanda is the other country to Westernise(country next to Lusaka). Having had heavy investment during the Abbysinan period the country is one of the most progressive in Africa, developing along a very German style form of Government. There is a small army and airforce.

The Kingdom of Mau(between Uwanda and Abbysina) is a country of two halves. The Industrial north and the Pastrol South. The country is ruled corruptly and seems to be wasting the advantages of the past in favour of massive works of art, palaces, castles and other such. The Army is sizable.

The Fief of Khartoum has been created just south of Egypt. The country has no real goals beyond an eventual union with Egypt and adopting similar growth patterns.

Finally the Central African Federation is a massive Hierarchy of tribes, cities and kingdoms all vying for power. The area has some of the largest, cheap, armies seen to date.

I posted about my invasion of Cameroon over a week ago, before we established the war mod...Do I still need to post attack plans, or can we just assume that I won?

Military of Cameroon: About 30,000 soldiers

Military of EGG: About 300,000 soldiers

I know it's very possible to lose a battle despite outnumbering the enemy by so much, but really...?

Either way, troops have been sent to the Angola border, simply for patrol. No attacks, unless Angolan troops show hostility first, as they did in the east.

Ummm...Hmmm....Well I don't have any problems with just handing over Camaroon, since it was before my time (Essentially a map anamoly, more than an invasion.) But I think we should ask Sere what he thinks.

Japan got owned, heh.

A country that expands too fast will naturally become bigheaded...leading inevitably to the belief that they are better than other nations, which would have the effect of treating other nationalities as pets... ie being more inclined to punish them when they do bad, and being more incline to speak codderlingly when they do good...

Eg you wouldn't pat someone on the head and say 'Who's a Good Boy then' if they lent you a pencil, nor would you hit someone on the nose if they didn't leave you alone, or were doing something you didn't like.

What? You can make Yemen break off from Japan?

 

I call this an example of over moderation. The whole point of the philosophy was that all nations were equal. Didn't you read my post? It's a federation, not an empire. Didn't you read my fostering cooperation post?

 

Bah, I'm talking to Sere about this. 5 carriers though, that's one and a fourth of a years production. No biggy.

Retech you deployed 50,000 Yeman troops for no reason other than to take control of Oman...that doesn't sound like a Federation, that sounds like an Empire...

I object to Archi's verdict, simply because he is controlling MY country. It's not like I raise taxes a billion percent and they're not happy about that. You're inventing a hypothetical situation, to take away a country. Not to mention they wouldn't even know how to speak the same language, much less talk to each other.

 

And Madagascar soldiers with plastic explosives blowing up 5 super carriers that are stationed miles and miles off the coast? They are protected by 50 freaking destroyers, and 50 frigates. Basically they blew up 1/2 of the US fleet in one go, and this is Madagascar.

The Japanese empire:

In every city/territory/province based game I've played (Civ4, HoI, R:TW, etc.), there's always a chance of revolt, especially if the area in question doesn't have that strong of a tie to the rest of your empire. That kind of seems like the case here. Revolts should definitely happen.

But maybe not to the extent that a territory completely breaks off. Create a mod (or anyone else) controlled faction of rebels, and allow the former ruler/nation (Retech/Japan, in this case) a chance to crush the rebellion. If it fails to do so, the territory breaks off. If the former owner wins, the territory stays his.

So you are sending 62,500 people, 1/6th of which can't communicate with the other 5/6ths....That sounds like a recipe for disaster....

 

Also it I don't 'control' people's countries in wars then essentially your forces would stand outside of cities while they were bombed...your casualites would go though the roof and the whole thing would fall apart.

 

Retech you gave me no indications of the size of the defensive fleet...

Quite simply, I think you're just grasping at straws in order to blow up parts of my military. Just because I have aircraft carriers doesn't mean that a little country can destroy 5 of them with plastic explosives. One, maybe they can sneak in and blow one up, but 5? That's just cabbage.

 

Japan lands another 50,000 soldiers in Madagascar to control the citizentry.

Japan prepares a massive invasion force to strike Yemen and Oman.

Retech...Why exactly did Yemen invade Oman?

Japan urged them to invade of course. I think it would've been more realistic that the Yemenese just refused to fight, and went home or something. Yes, a single remark by one soldier is going to convince the Yemenese army to drive out someone who just tripled or quadrupled their wealth, and has the power to crush them with a fleet three times as large as the next largest fleet. That's suuuure realistic.

I had thought about just refusing, but then I knew, or at least thought, as Yemen would, that Japan would not like being told 'No' and would probably invade. Thus the safer course of action, for Yemen, would be to agree...until they saw that by their acceptance of Japanese power they were just opening themselves up to be enslaved by the Japanese...

I mean I doubt that the people of Yemen are particularly happy that Japan has exported a load of 'crazy' ideas to their country, started building things, seemingly at random, closing down industries that used to exist and replacing them with Japanese Corporations...

The whole thing smacks heavily of British and French and Dutch Imperialism...we go over there to 'improve' their lots, but the fact is that they don't want to be 'improved'....Another example would be hacking off someones arm to fit a prostheic one equipped with twenty dozen gadgets....it might be an improvement, but it seems unlikely that many people would like it being forced on them.
