Wrong Forum. Disregard and go about your lives. There's nothing to see here.

This. Personally I like the idea and usage of custom designs because it gives you something you can call your own and adds variety to the bland selection currently available in cnrp2. Seriously, pretty much everything is US equipment, cuz 'Murica #1. But beyond that it allows people to personalize their militaries. But what TBM said is basically the jist of it. Some people wanna use custom equipment to slap together those godawful, unholy abominations that somehow singlehandedly give them an uberadvantage over all others. I think perhaps a more structured process of custom design approval should be implemented. Approval of a custom design should be merited based on three things: 1) Feasibility - Are there real life examples of what you're proposing? Has the concept or capabilities inherent to your custom design been applied to real life usage and exists within the technology time frame allowed in cnrp2. 2) Usage - On what scale do you plan to implement this custom design? If it doesn't fall into defined categories with limits (aka troops, planes, ships) does it fall within the standards of "common sense" 3) Gameplay - Does the custom design break the game? Does it provide an inherent and generally unfair advantage that is unable to be countered? A formal application for custom design review should be submitted to the GMs detailing the specifics of the custom design as well as addressing these three issues upon which the GMs will make an informed decision.

With the major upset victory over Tianxia, the World Cup had been catapulted to the forefront of sports coverage in the Commonwealth, despite the fact that it was soccer. Now many looked forward to the next game against Meihua with the hopes of another such victory.

Expanding the protectorate to the entirety of central america.

US forces in the Panama region were ordered to expand their operations to the rest of Central America as reinforcements came in. Troops would begin moving to secure Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Belize.

US forces would beat their Plains Federation counterparts to the prize, with aircraft inserting paratroopers at critical points of the canals themselves and landing directly on airfields in the area to secure them. During lulls in between landings aircraft and other vehicles would be parked on runways, taxiways and other open areas that could facilitate landings. Troops on the ground would move to secure their operational areas and fortify their holdings. Particular attention would be given to reactivating local radar and air defense capabilities left behind as well as other weapons in general. The Plains Federation aircraft approaching were ordered to turn around at once or they would be fired upon. With its mission to Hawaii and Alaska scrubbed most of the 82nd Airborne was rerouted to join the 13th Airborne, although small attachments would still perform their missions to secure Tikal's Pacific holdings, landing and establishing control. The majority of the 82nd was now being dropped into Mexico, specifically the south east including the provinces of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Yucatan. Follow on forces that were now being lifted into Panama included two light infantry divisions, air and coastal defense units, engineering units and an armored brigade. In the south the 17th Airborne had conducted their drops and landings with minimal issues, pushing out from their drop zones and securing the area. Closer to home Massachusetts and New Hampshire had been secured, also with minimal problems. With tensions rising across the Hemisphere the US armed forces were ordered to full alert. Troops were mobilized and deployed while air defense units scanned the skies and air force patrols of fighters and AWACs aircraft would be constantly aloft. Missile forces were ordered to stand to and the full measure of the Navy was out of port and prepared for action. OOC: I have been informed by voodoo, apparently, that being the first to move troops in as well as declaring the protectorates first it has been granted to me as per the precedent set in the ruling in Italy.

But its trickle down NS. NS from the bigger nations will trickle down into the hands of the smaller players. In the form of massive amounts of cruise missiles. Reaganomics baby.

I don't remember getting that invitation. Man, just like highschool... :(

Actually, I have an idea for #2. All the world leaders should gather for some party and we all accidentally grope each other resulting in either severed relations or full blown war. :P

But obama promised me my multipliers if I voted for him! I dunno, I'm definitely in favor of giving out a decent bottom cap for smaller nations but I think multipliers are alright as they are. Then again I benefit from them so... :P Not sure how #2 would work out or be implemented overall but in all honesty I don't really have many ties considering there aren't that many nations to be tied with right now. As for #3 I don't really care too much either way. The inactivity period has always been debated but I'm ok with the current system. I'd probably be fine with whatever new system comes up as well.

Take care dude.

I guess I'm requesting protectorates on Massachussets, New Hampshire, and Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama for the canals and lyns pacific holdings and the southern tip of argentina and Alaska.

The collapse of Tikal was a truly unexpected event but there were always plans for various contingencies and the appropriate protocols would be initiated. A marine expeditionary group would land and secure Bermuda. The 13th Airborne Division was dispatched to Panama to secure the canals. The 17th Airborne Division would be dispatched to secure Cape Horn, the southern tip of Argentina and the Falklands. While a bit of a stretch, the 82nd Airborne were dispatched to secure Alaska and Hawaii for follow on forces, the latter for which a marine expeditionary group would be immediately dispatched. They would also secure the closer Pacific Islands such as the Galapagos and Guadalupe Island among others. Carrying mainly paratroopers, C-17s would be able to make the long distance trips. Closer to home several infantry divisions would begin moving into Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As forces were being dispatched a public announcement was made declaring the USNA's stewardship and protection of the areas in question.

Why even base it on something like mars? You ought to make a completely new world.

After clearance had been given Commonwealth forces would cooperate with the Athenian search effort. The Navy devoted two carrier groups and several frigates and Prowler OPVs to the operation. The Coast Guard commitment included eight national security cutters and another eight offshore patrol cutters.

The American Commonwealth offers its condolences to our Athenian friends and our full assistance in conducting search and rescue operations in the region. -President Bradley Marston

European Travel Advisory The US State Department has issued an advisory for US citizens traveling to Europe until the escalating conflict there is resolved. The advisory strongly discourages travel to Europe, especially in countries directly involved in the conflict, and urges Americans currently visiting to return home. It also recommends that US expatriates in Europe attempt to return home or find temporary residence in a non-involved nation if possible. With over a million Americans living abroad, a significant portion of whom reside in Europe, official actions available to the State Department is limited considering the USNA has no formal diplomatic relations with any countries, nor embassies from which to provide assistance to US citizens. Steven Rowe, the acting Secretary of State until someone can be formally appointed to the position, has stated that "the State Department will work with foreign governments to do everything it can to ensure the safety of our citizens".

You fools think your unified community timeline will keep you safe? Behold! The instrument of your destruction! I shall manipulate time and space itself to further my goals of global cnrp world domination!

You consider New York and Pennsylvania to be part of New England? Anyway all the states were listed in my DOE here. Prolly should have linked to it earlier.

Ye missed New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Michigan for my nation.

The tomahawk missile family is a modular design. You can't just slap the seeker from a AGM-88 or a SM-3 in it and expect it to work. http://www.ausairpower.net/Tomahawk-Subtypes.html And I feel like triyun has a point in regards to guidance packages. Take a look at the amount of space available in these things. The tomahawk may be a big missile but over half the missile is the engine and fuel. Over half of whats left is devoted to more fuel and the payload. The room for additional sensors is more or less nonexistent. Now I don't think you wouldn't be able to develop a radiation homing warhead but theres no current such guidance system for the tomahawk irl as far as I know and I don't think its gonna fit both that and another totally different system. I mean I suppose you could reduce the warhead size and fuel tanks to try fit it but then that cuts down on punch and range. Just my two cents.

Constitutional Decision The USNA Constitutional Convention has formally announced that they have made a final decision on the creation of the nation's constitution. The first United States Constitution has been chosen to be adopted wholesale and as it was in its final form. The document's historical and cultural significance was cited as a major factor in its selection as well as its practicality considering more or less every major legal entity currently under the USNA is familiar with it. The Constitution has been ratified by all 18 states and is now in effect as the supreme law of the land. A major stepping stone for nation, celebrations are underway place all over the country with the news of ratification. Now its only several weeks until elections take place and the US government formally constituted through the process of democracy.

General Thomas Bracken was the sitting in his office in the Pentagon reading through the large volume of reports flooding through his desk everyday. The Adjutant General of Virginia's National Guard, he had been appointed temporary Chairman of the Joint Chiefs by the executive council. A veteran officer of the second USA's military, he was an experienced staff officer who also served in the New England military during its short lived existence and had recently retired to accept the position of Adjutant General of the Virginia National Guard. Now it was up to him to lay the foundations of the military of this new nation. The next report he received had come in the form of a secured and encrypted flash drive that had arrived under armed guard. Access was gained when he entered his own personal password and a separate encryption key.
