[i]brought to you by rick vice, and that guy that made esp wars v2[/i]
[b]What is this?[/b] So you may be wondering right now what exactly is this thread, well basically it's like espionage wars but with a kinda different take on it, basically it's a forum role playing game where you take control of factions and do stuff in this post apocalyptic but not entirely destroyed world.
[b]Summary;[/b]
Late 2014- Due to heavy political fallout from several superpowers discovered to have ties to the Iraq-Syrian-Egyptian-Afghanistan-Iranian-Pakistani war the United Nations is disbanded.
Early 2015- North Korea Invades South Korea, allegiances are tested and tensions rise to spark an all out third world war.
Mid 2015- Eurasian Coalition (Russia, China) Forces first cross the french channel and reach English Shores.
Late 2015- In retaliation to the nuclear warheads fired at the American coasts, Israel fires it's final set of nuclear warheads, warheads hit in shanghai china, and Moscow Russia. In retaliation five remaining Russian Nuclear Submarines's in the area decimate Israel with a fierce barrage of warheads. With many countries ravaged by fierce fighting and economies decimated the War grinds to a stalemate, shortly after the Nuclear Arms Treaty is signed by remaining superpowers (Russia, China, America).
2015-2037- The modern world never truly recovered from the third world war, after numerous nuclear winters, economical crisis, famines, revolutions, civil wars, plagues and the ever looming threat of the zones almost all countries known to the modern world have collapsed or reformed in one way or another, the world is a much more isolated dangerous place, communication between other countries is sparse. Most of the earths livable climate is controlled by militias varying in size, new or surviving governments or just nature itself.
2038- Evidences surfaces among faction's near Moscow's zone that it may possibly be somehow expanding.
[B]How do I get started?[/b] First you come up with an idea with your faction, then procure some models to represent your faction, after that think up some basic back story, lore etc. for your faction. After that download the latest version of The World Map (It should be in the OP) pick a color to represent your faction and mark your factions territory on the map, then upload it and include it in a post in this thread detailing some basic details about your faction, what they do, how big they are, what actually are they etc.
[b]How do I play?[/b] Well it's simple you just make poses of your faction doing stuff, may it be invading territory and crushing the local militia, warring over territory with other people's factions, or even looting or refurbishing old factories and arms dealing, point is you can do p much any reasonable thing you want, your faction could be a nation that existed before the war, or one formed by militias banding together long after it, or maybe your a band of marauders nicking any wallet in sight. usually when battling another persons faction it's a good idea to consult and organize things with them.

[B]The World Map;[/b] The World Map displays all factions current owned territory and battles/engagements. When expanding territory people should update the map to be correct with current locations just post your map update in the thread usually accompanying a pose or two etc. When battling other factions players should show the territory being fought over by drawing a circle with a red X inside on the world map covering the area. When interacting with a neutral area unless the area is conquered through various means you do not need to display the battle. [b]Only Update the World map If you have actually gained/lost territory or actually battling a player, not light skirmishes[/b]
The World map also details "Zones of Alienation" These zones were the most hard hit zones during the third world war, and as such are still very hazardous to human health and dangerous due to the high amount of hostile creatures in the Zones, Zones of Alienation are areas in which supernatural things may happen, not to mention they're crawling with mutants more so than neutral areas and other undiscovered creatures of the night. [i]Nobody really knows what exactly is out there in the world, people are encouraged to come up with their own spoopky monsters and folklore etc.[/i]
Just because territory is neutral doesn't mean it's safe, it's just neutral to any faction wars in the area, but their are still many other dangers lurking about, such as bandits, mutants, partisans possibly loyal to your enemies and many more even undocumented things.

So like can I claim Japan as my thing on that map?
I wanna call it "The Glorious Japanese Reformation Coalition."

[quote] A Darovon hunting party, searching for any mutant nests in the torn outskirts of Warsawa, Poland. The Federation of Darovon protects it's city from bandits and mutants alike by building walls around the civilized areas. Often mutants get attracted to the living cities and tend to make nests in a close proximity, hence why the Darovonians organize hunting parties. Since there are more kinds of mutants out there than described in the book. The Darovonians have learned by experience to bring heavy firepower on these hunts, as some mutants may turn out to be slightly bigger than their next of kin. [/quote]
[quote]In Warsawa outskirts, there lurks a beast. It's roar put shivers into the population of Warsawa everynight. The Darovonian soldiers have named it 'Øst Beistet.' The East Beast. The Darovonian military stationed at Warsawa gets a steady supply of new soldiers every week. As they continue to send out hunting parties to bring down The East Beast, so far every 28 hunting parties that have ever reported in locating the beast have been killed before reinforcement could arrive.[/quote]

[QUOTE]
Reports that date back a few months after the war say that multiple groups of people have banded together into what the call clans, they have been said to worship the old
Celtic gods. Over the years these clans have been at war over things such as territory, food and shelter, however just a few days ago reports say that one man has managed
to unite the clans under one name, The United Celtic Coalition.
Their troops have been seen wearing the uniforms of the old United Kingdoms, the same goes for their weapons and equipment in general. Some people think
that The United Celtic Coalition has the help of former military engineers and inventors.
Their goal although not official seems to be to unite the UK and Ireland into one country.
The official size of the faction seems to be about 10 000 men in total including political and civil sectors.[/QUOTE]

I'm taking Germany.
Conscripts from the 7th Infantry division have some r&r with a TPA scout who was separated from his team. The territory in between Tbonia and Novorod is mostly un-mapped so traversing it efficiently may prove to be difficult.
[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/255920778/srntb.jpg[/img]
Put me on Germany under the Krieger Republik.
I sent you a PM. Please check it out.
can I get dibs on the area around lake Baikal?
Can my faction be the remains of a small PMC corporation or are only bandits and national groups allowed?
Of course it can. A community can be started by anyone from a former persident to a gardner.
Also latest map

Remember to save the map is PNG also to anyone adding their land
I would like to join within the area of former France as "The Order".
claiming lake Baikal right now as "the order of the zone"

edit: i came up with my name a few hours ago and someone thinks of something extremely similiar

Sorry, I'l change the name of my faction.
you don't exactly have to, I'm just saying it was a silly coincidence
Jets would be really really rare but if your faction manages to scavenge enough fuel for a helicopter(if you even have any working helicopters left, that is) then that might be plausible.
So it's a post-apocalyptic world war?
Cool. Might join up.
Only the red and orange zones are affected by the nuclear warheads. There's a lot of aircrafts still left in the world, although consider most military jets and attack helicopters have been used in the war, they're not common but not impossible to find either, but most fighter pilots have also perished so yes jets would be really rare. And if someone finds one and manages to operate it and blah blah, you gotta consider your radio communication is shit, your radar is most of the time next to useless, getting a maintence crew that knows what its doing with a jet and weapons are not rare, you'll find weapons everywhere, a jet could be a easy target.
I really hope some people will take some inspiration and maybe use civilian aircrafts like helicopters, or even a commercial plane and go on adventure to another world part and hope the closest runway isnt bombed to hell. But Tbone really inspired me when he went on about his scouts often using horses instead of noisy vehicles and stuff.
What's the ruling on Scifi looking guys? Not Scifi technology (no power armour, lasers, etc), but I was thinking of using the ATC guys from FEAR 2 as some of my models.
[editline]15th February 2015[/editline]
Actually scrap that, I'm thinking the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=119810393"]SWATish Soldiers Customized[/URL] and setting up in Ontario, Canada.

Or England.

Just claiming land for now. I'll make a proper intro.
I don't suppose anyone could add in my faction around the Ural Mountains area in Russia? (I still suck at5 PS/GIMP, otherwise I'd do it myself.)
I just want a tiny circular-ish area named 'The VDI Sanctuary'.
[editline]15th February 2015[/editline]
Pretty please?
Would it be alright to claim land even if i'm not likely to be able to properly participate for a while?
I'd like to join, but I've got a lot of stuff on my plate right now and I won't be able to start making my guys or do any posing for a while.
Updated map with VDI territory

could someone please add 'The Magadanskaya oblast Reich' near the magadan area of russia
Do we have to seize territory and fight or can we engage in "business" via blockade runners or weapons research?
Sorry -snip-

If it existed before the war, it could exist now. Bear in mind though, the higher quality stuff you got, the more costly its going to be, your nation isn't getting a 100000 ton shipment of chemical B from China to mix in the pot to create an armour layer blah blah. The cheaper your stuff is the easier it is to maintain and its possible to reproduce. So I strongly reccomend not using hard armour covered target cause even though its allowed it's going to be boring to look at in my opinion, everyone else is living in the rag tag life.
[QUOTE=adamsz;47146775]Do we have to seize territory and fight or can we engage in "business" via blockade runners or weapons research?[/QUOTE]
Of course not, you can do whatever you want with your nation. But you're not safe from others attacking you, but thats the entire point. You can trade with some nations/communties and go to war with others.
Also stuff.
