[BigAnt] ~ #3 The Military
Why you hiding your taxes? Lets invest!
Hi guys,
Here was my announcement for Country President ~ Link
Here was is my promise to offer you a Referendum ~ Link
Here was my promise for more Investments in you ~ Link
Our Military Background
So In this rticle I want to outline my plans for the military if elected Country President. Firstly, eUK is a small nation in comparison to some of the big boys. Take Argentina for example they average a solid 20 billion a day in damage and climbing with a very young population. We break about 2.5 Billion, but we are stagnating.
One of the problems we have is, most MU’s do not supply tanks on a daily basis. Now our NHS caters for our young players with daily food supplies, but they have no weapons. I’ve already briefly mentioned my my plans to supply some NHS weapon drops on a weekly basis. The NHS currently has 85 people receiving food handouts. Giving each of them 5x Q7 tanks to fight with would at the current price market cost about £4,250k. Thats roughly 1 days tax income when we are not wiped. Not at alot to give our new players some action and pack some decent damage for the lower divisions, I think you would agree right?
That got me thinking, according to egov stats HERE. We currently today have 809 active citizens, 357 were on the battlefield… That mean 452! Didnt even fight. More worrying is the fact we have 431 players in Division 1. They are not fighting and they are not all on NHS.. why?
Well some people don’t need Food handouts. They can afford it. However Q7 tanks is a different matter altogether. They cost money, the factories and WRM cost money and so thats when we see the drop out of fighters.
So how do I plan to rectify this problem?
Who remembers this avatar?
Well 618 Days ago almost 2 years now, our NATIONAL Military Units were shut down by our then Polish CP Magic Heroes. This was the time when Q7 tanks had just been launched. It was considered too expensive to supply and so we axed the lot.
Other nations kept their National MU’s and they still to this day supply regular tanks to who ever joins. So I propose if elected Country President:
The Launch Of A New National Military Unit.
I propose creating a new National MU.
Regular Q7 Supplies for all Fighters who join.
The National MU will be setup with kick ass avatars to suit. The problem with any project like this is supplies ofc. Now past governments have invested cash into players. Count Dracula is an example he has huge assets which were bought using Government money. He invested Government money buying WRM Factories. I will consider something on a similar level in our most active and trusted players. NWG, FragUK for example. I will also be talking with company owners, some of whom may have Q7 companies and cannot afford to use them.
I don’t expect this project to take off like a rocket. Infact I want a slow and steady incline so we can get this setup right. But my aim will be to include lower division players out there who have no regular supplies to fight with. But also I want to attract some of the Tanks who are patriotic.
The advantages of having a National MU are it is Gov controlled. The government can change and receive orders before anyone else and we can immediately move damage without having to rely on active commanders.
- As Fighters you WILL be backed by your government.
- The community is still fragmented, National MU will hopefully bring some unity.
- Safe haven for new players to grow and develop free from party politics.
- For your older fighter who would rather fight for the country as a whole.
Super Strikes
So a National MU won’t be everyone's cup of tea. But I don’t want division within the UK ranks and so I want to hold “Super Strikes” every Sunday (or Big Battle) on the IRC #MoD.
You will be equipped with some tanks and as a national we can smash the hell out of someone. The idea behind this is to have some fun, supply and promote some activity on our Military IRC room which is simply dead in the water now.
Improve Communication
Nothing new here, yes but something I would consider basic’s. This month we haven’t achieved the basics, we have been poor. Constant contact with MU commanders and updating orders is a must to limit damage wastage. We can’t afford to not update orders. CoTD as well has been woefully bad, thats down to the inactive CP we’ve had. Ok moving on.
MPP’s
I will be honest, We are wasting our money on a few MPP’s. I will want to cut back on MPPs like Estonia, Belgium which offer us almost no damage in return. I will be looking to replace these with possible new Allies like MKD, Germany, I don’t want to give anymore away at this stage.
Cabinet
If you would like to be apart of my government, please note you need to be ACTIVE and use IRC. I don’t want a repeat of this month :3. To apply contact me directly.
tl;dr
- Create New National MU, supplying all fighters.
- Super Strikes, improve IRC #MoD Activity generally have some fun.
- MPPs remove weak, try and add a few stronger MPP’s.
- Improve Communication

Make the eUK stronger!
where are combat orders strategies ? where are hand outs for MU before battles ? where are some coordination?
Why would I publicly announce our war stragety for all to see ... :3
Because so far all your saying is give out free shit to all.
"Why would I publicly announce our war stragety for all to see ... :3"
means: I don't have one.
Your views on CO's and MoD supplying and no more sensititive than Strikes and NHS supplies and less important to our 'enemies' than plans for MPP's which you just announced no problem.
And when he says:
"I will be looking to replace these with possible new Allies like MKD, Germany, I don’t want to give anymore away at this stage."
He means Serbia...
lel Mr.Knee, you have a certain love for Serbians, you mention them a lot
Some good ideas. Would be nice to have a strong national MU. I'm a believer in using the in-game military chat room and the feeds to organise strikes and supplies. I think new players, and a few older ones, are more likely to use these than go on to IRC, especially when they first start playing. If you can encourage people to join the same MU as each other communication becomes much easier.
Good luck for the election. Your campaign seems to be gathering a bit of momentum Who else is running for CP?
Thanks buddy. Not sure who is running just working on my project 🙂
Surely setting CO will be more effective than giving away a tank or two
Well that falls in Communication, alot of players are not aware of CO and how to make money on battlefield. Expect all this during my term.
Speaking of communication, all you said above as that you would improve it, any actual ideas on how? given that you'll need to implement them in about 48 hours if you win......
Cos won't help his Serbian friends and allies who are fighting against the eUK and it's allies much better to supply weapons for them to use against us.
There has been a serious need for coordinated use of COs in this past war. I have seen time and time again a relatively small incentive in a CO help turn the tide of a war. Any plan to use a 'National' MU to set a CO for key battles is a solid plan in my books.
There already is an MU with that exact purpose. However it appears BA wants to ignore that and the fact COs are far more efficient for a massive project of creating a new military that will no doubt cost a fortune and end up with little result.
True AC, but that MU is controlled by someone who isn't MoD and hasn't done jack in terms of COs.
CO's would have won the RW in France stopping all this war with Argentina Apple choose not to invest..
Acroc wont have seen that being inactive this month,. But he also believes a CO will solve all our problems. What about when we have no war and no Co? Our fighters still need regular supplies. genius
And there are already several MUs that spend plenty of time trying to recruit new fighters who offer supplies.
I really don't understand how you think throwing the eUK treasury at something that is already covered will improve things.
However I look forward to seeing Vendetta Military closing down. Nice to know you've convinced Dapper that his long term investment in supplying and building MUs has been for nought and he should just let the government do it instead.
Good luck doing that with everyone else though.
BA has always been about having a national MU which *he* controls. the fact it, most MU's commanders are intelligent enough to set suitable orders, but BA wants to be the hero in deciding where to fight. The problem is that the government controlling all fighters only works if the person with the control is online at the right time to update the orders. Add to the fact the people controlling the unit might change monthly and it falls down.
MUs like the RN do a fantastic job of supplying the younger members and it was good to see the hard work and sacrifics the older players did in order to make sure the div one and two fighters were supplied during the recent tournament when supplies were stretched for all.
Given that the French appear to be in bed with the Argentinians (and your friends the Serbians) do you really expect us to believe that was EVER on the cards?
Mr Knee, we all know that all this is about is promoting the Big in BA.
My God, Do some F-ing research. That avatar is Jimbojoy.
I'd go check who closed the national military but I don't have the time, However I'm fairly sure it was before MagicHereos was CP.
Also could you give some examples of nations with national militaries that are supplied? So far I can only think of the eUS and I'm not entirely sure it's not just a command super structure rather than a national military.
"The advantages of having a National MU are it is Gov controlled. The government can change and receive orders before anyone else and we can immediately move damage without having to rely on active commanders."
This is already covered by way of COs, Which are far more efficient. You pay only for the damage received and can set for only people with certain CS to be able to claim.
"- Safe haven for new players to grow and develop free from party politics."
Like the NHS MU was amirite? Especially when yourself and Sir Nick were using it as a means of political recruitment and you both had to get kicked.
Once again though, You offer goodies and yet take no account of how much it costs.
Whilst we remain wiped we have about 30,000cc a month income. That's enough for 3 Mpps or as your calculations show giving 30 Q7s to the NHS guys.... that's 1 Q7 a day.
In what way does splurging our shrinking national coffers on a 'maybe they will' scheme and throwing cash into making a new supply system when we already have plenty of them make economic sense?
Firstly, Magic DID shutdown the National MU's
Yes genius that is Jimbojoy, but the avatar is an example sigh..
Co's Dont help our army in times of peace.
The coffers will only be low whilst we undo the damage apple did.
finally I dont really listen or take advice from someone like yourself who created and ran the PTO of a TOP 5 party. You have caused more split and damage then anyone in eUK.
COs help our nation and citizens when it's needed most, It's not a constant expense and it is 100% efficient.
You mention of undoing the damage though brings a very important question.
This is the military section of your manifesto, As such I'd have expected some discussion of military strategy, especially as we're currently wiped.
Is there any reason you haven't given any information at all about how it is you intend to approach our current situation?
As for this comment: "finally I dont really listen or take advice from someone like yourself who created and ran the PTO of a TOP 5 party."
I guess you don't take your own advice either then huh?
618 days ago falls on the 23rd October 2012, when Talon Karrde was CP

I was pretty sure jamesw had something to do with shutting down MU's? Maybe he was MoD or something.
I introduced a federal MU system which subsidised MU's in return for having Gov at the head of the chain of command during 'crisis' moments, which worked well for a for months (although Don refused to let British Army participate) which worked quite well, and that was set up as a compromise for people who didn't want a national MU due to costs but who wonted a more streamlined and centralised approach to the military, I can dig up the policy article if any sceptics think it might be a good idea to bring it back. In spirit I am very much in favour of a national MU, though the problem we have had in the past (and the reason I chose to federalise high damage MU's) was that Gov MU's simply couldn't compete with private MUs, so any indication on how a Gov MU can stay competitive without being either too expensive or too small wouldn't go amiss 🙂
Magic might have been the CP at the time, but the MU was closed down after a cross party congress vote. I think only a few people objected on sentimental reasons only. Every other congressman agreed that sadly the country could not afford the numbers needed to make it run and the self supplying commune system that most MUs had started operating was the only way ahead. When the national MU was closed down, every other MU of note was offering equal or better supplies than what the official national MU was capable of offering.
"Co's Dont help our army in times of peace" incase you didnt notice BA, we're not in a time of peace 😉
"As for this comment: 'finally I dont really listen or take advice from someone like yourself who created and ran the PTO of a TOP 5 party.'
I guess you don't take your own advice either then huh?"
Sorry, but this is meritorious of a 3rd degree burn. Made me laugh all the way through the other comments.
But in all seriousness, the RN has a fantastic structure in my opinion. We have an open command structure to allow people to get experience if they show they're willing and active. We supply people with tanks, we do regular strikes, and in general just help each other out. We're a nice little community, and by and large the biggest reason I still play this game.
If you get a National MU going, good for you, but I think you'll need some private funding to make it work because our taxes aren't going to cut it.
" I dont really listen or take advice from someone like yourself who created and ran the PTO of a TOP 5 party."
That's rich coming from an illiterate PTOer.
From my old and fecked up memory the National MU was closed down by Magic Heroes mate, and i did believe he was brought in to close it while other people in his party didn't wield the axe to have that stain on their record.
Sadly the country couldn't afford it at the time though anyway.
The national MU truly shut down when the funders of Legion quit funding it 😛
But in all seriousness, a national MU didn't work then and it won't work now. The only way you will accomplish it is through sheer financial muscle, and that will bankrupt the government.
The Irish Army runs a commune system for it's members, if that would fit your definition of government supplied and controlled. It also includes a Boot Camp division to train and assist new players.
Keep going ffs i ran out of stuff to vote(:
"I will want to cut back on MPPs like Estonia, Belgium which offer us almost no damage in return."
See how that goes when the same logic is used to remove the UK from the MPP stack of Poland, USA or Spain.
Also, who would expect Sirius to back our efforts to get regions back with an anti Sirius CP at the helm. If we hold a referendum, we need to be as amicable and diplomatic as possible, suck up and hope they still help us. Why should they put in effort to free a country that might not be in the alliance in a weeks time? The timing is all wrong for this, and so diplomatically speaking Moriarty or anyone else is in a stronger position to get our regions back than BA, as he lacks the international support needed to do it.

Really the UK needs to get players in higher division, this can be done with buying them energy bars etc, this needs to be looked into asap
And what about their strength then idiot?
No, what we need as Mick points out is strong active players in each division. That requires gold and daily logging on.
You call yourself a military orientated player, yet you don't even understand the basics.
I don't think you do, we need more in div 4
Yeah, cuz what we need is 20k strength D4 players...
What we need is strong players spread throughout the divisions. D4 cannot win wars on its own.
Whats the V stand for?
Vegetable?
If you think we need div 1 players you are wrong and dumb what a waste of time for 1 point in battles after watching battles the conclusion I come to is the UK has been wasting much time in this stupid idea
Div 4 do not win battles alone.
You really think the government should be spending its money on energy bars for D4 players?
how dare you mocking div 1 and 2 players.
do you even know that 3 points in a battle is important too.
what is the use if we only win a battle in div 4 but the rest of divisions lose the battle?
also, what make you think that if we pay them enery bars. they will fight for eUK? the worse, they will use it to fight against eUK.
1 point is useless most the time, and why would you spend bars on div 4 player they are already in div 4, the idea to have strong div 1 players is a waste of time whoever come up that idea is dumb proper dumb
Strong Div 1 players become strong D2 players who then can go on to be strong D3 players and finally they end up being a strong D4.
Don is an elitist.
don, i'm talking about all division should have fighters with good str and don't just focus on higher division too..
also, please answer my question above. :3
