Enjoy :D

I haven't really messed with the 5th Army too much really, been focusing my works on the NYC area for my campaign.

Can I ask, why did you go through a write up for that command and in what situation/scenario you use it in?

Your numbers and equipment are much more robust then most here would normally see. I would love to know your story or situation you are basing this work from.

Good stuff either way for sure! Thanks! :)

What does the above have to do with Twilight 2000?

I'm getting around to typing up my world obo's (got them on paper). lets see. hmmm well my game starts about the same with china and Russia. but nukes don't pop off till 1998 and did not go after oil but did tactical and counter-force. I have France getting pwned in 2001, Switzerland joining the NATO side. had Sweden and Finland join nato 98-99. oh 11th corps 2000 offensive was a success. ( 5th and 8th id didn't go so far.) lots of combat in south America. Brazil on our side. north Korea rolled up by 2002, troops pulled out. I have lots of combat in Africa. Armys are much bigger then in canon around 2 times the size, supply and replacement AFV's can still be had as can oil. air-forces still have plans to fly. Navy s still have some ships.

Nice to see some other time lines and such. Would love to see your time line stories and such to get a good feel for how your world is put together.

ORBATs are fun to create. I've invested some time over the years in creating orders of battle for some quasi-Twilight: 2000 scenarios. It's a diverting passtime.

I'll try and type one up for you at some point. my group does not play the rpg side of t2k, we play this as a war-game. battalions and up (mostly Divisions) we use GDW's WWIII, and assault board games to play it out. As the GM I play the WP side of it all most of the time. we've played it out to 2008/09 the last time around. We've started a 5th round, and are fighting in china 1995/6 atm. I've been typing out my OBO's as of 2003 because after that things really start to go down hill for the WP.

Ahhhh..now that makes sense now. Thats why your troops and vehicle levels are so much higher. How much fun would a war game be with the crap left over in the T2K canon stuff. :P

not much fun. but I do have a blast with the all most imposable task of trying to supply whats left in canon and amalgamation and reorganization of units. I think at some point I got 3 full Divisions out of what was left in Europe.

Webstral post your 5th army's.

I have always wondered about the fact that France didn't get hit as hard as I think they should have in WW3. It sometimes make me think that they made a backhanded deal with the Russians -- they'd sit out the war in return for some mercy from the Russians, and taking some NATO players out of the game.

It does seem odd that France wasn't hit with the same level of megatonnage as the US/UK if just to take their resources off the table for potential use by NATO, and I'd agree that some sort of diplomatic deal with the USSR must have been worked out -- though it may have been as simple as France telling the Soviets that they could either leave them alone and they'd stay neutral or if attacked they'd unload their own nuclear arsenal in return, only with the aim of wiping the 10 largest (or so) Soviet cities off the map entirely rather than the incremental anti-oil campaign.

I haven't done much with Fifth US Army. The closest I've come to Fifth US Army turf is a bit of work on Cannon AFB, which isn't really near any of the Fifth Army units, and a touch of work on an Oklahoma SDF that runs rear area security behind the screen of Fifth US Army. In all honesty, I'd not be inclined to change the US Army Vehicle Guide listing terribly, other than to add some Operation Omega veterans and account for some losses between July 2000 and April 2001.

Uhm I think the Soviets/Russia and France have had an agreement for sometime. Hence, explain their temporary withdraw from NATO. On other hand the France and Soviets realize the deal was made with players they have never really been able to trust unless they had a common enemy. With that said, both had expectation of their respective and would of been too willingly in my assessment of both, they would of been too use their Nukes if one side or the other went beyond a 'Line in the sand'. They knew where the magically point but none of their allies knew, much less many of the units operating in the said region.....

The French really come across as Machiavellian in T2K.

Totally agree...I always envisage French agents lurking in the background pulling strings and being responsible for all sorts of general mischief.

There's one thing to be said for the French in T2K - at least they found a way to avoid surrendering this time...

:P

Like I said they have worked out a deal long time ago...

LMFAO :D

The French left NATO more because they didn't trust the US to aid any of its allies in Europe if they got into trouble, they saw the US going soft on the Soviets. It was particularly things like Kennedy stating that he would no longer consider using nukes as the first response to a Soviet invasion of Europe.
That series of events drove French foreign policy ever since and was the specific reason for France to acquire nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants.

Like I stated before it is three way draw on who would use Nukes first. Soviets and US believe the other side would be the first to used them, while both side more or less know how far they would allow the other to get to before risk of it going nuclear rapid raise. While the French with their exit of NATO and acquiring Nukes have implied where they intend to start using them to their at the time former NATO allies and it was hell of lot sooner than NATO Command hand agreed too.

I need to update this with Airforce and maybe some navy units

positive thoughts are welcome.

a big bump
