The Great War
As the industrial revolution came to an end many nations craved more resources and land, petty differences escalated into full blown war, each side lashing out trying to wound the other. Most times these small wars ended in a stalemate. Something is on the rise, the tension in the land is thick enough for a knife to cut it.
In the past wars were fought in long marching battle lines, where musket shot was exchanged in a gentlemanly fashion, as time advanced things became more obscure, lines were lost to trenches and men were separated into small units, each operating apart of the larger group. They moved independently and fighting was close quarters no longer were officers considered safe as a sniper could hide in any bush, things were more chaotic now. Numbers lost to tactics, and tactics evolved with every battle.
Pre ww1 Tech
4 major nations
6 minor nations
Rich in Minerals
Rich in Oil
Rich in Food
Rich in Tech
Rich in Production
Every nation has a certain amount of these. These are catalysts for war.
Rich in minerals allows for 1,000,000 well armed troops
Rich in oil allows for 30,000 armored vehicles and aircraft
Rich in food allows for 1,000,000 troops
Rich in tech allows for advanced weapons such as advanced weapons of war.
Rich in production allows for the quick turnaround of machines and weapons, and new troops.
Start of the war will be Pre-ww1 weapons depending on duration of the conflict can go to early ww2
No semi-auto weapons, few heavy machine guns, pistols and revolvers. No tanks until 3-5 years in. Calvary acceptable. Remember troop transportation. Is done by foot or horse drawn wagons, very few actual motorized vehicles for transportation
Aircraft will be biplanes, though few in number no overwhelming airforce unless you have Rich in oil.
For the sake of the RP, we won’t use exact numbers for the military something generalized like “total number of infantry, total number of armored units ( at the start should be zero ) Total number of Aircraft, ect ect.”
Starting off things should be tense all nations will know each other or have some sort of relation. Booming economies create a demand that can’t be supported a nation's own resources, past grudges never that were never let go. Things of this nature will be established before hand. I’ll allow some militarization before the start of the war which will be 19 July 1914 SCE Smaller skirmishes can start before the war, if things escalate quickly then we can start the war sooner, but it will commence in 1914 if it hasn’t made it there yet. Hopefully we will have even number of sides, I don’t want one side to have a distinct advantage over the other.
