Flags Needed...Again

[Patine]

Sure thing. I'll get right on it.

I found the Nordic Council flag here:

Actually, this might work better, as the former is a search engine address.

There's a nordic council?

[Sarsstock]

I'll post those flags shortly.

[Sarsstock]

Here they are, the flags of the African Union, the Commonwealth of Nations and the Nordic Council.

I have to admit I haven't heard of the Nordic Council either.

[Patine]

Thanks again, Sarsstock! I had some more ideas for the North American seccessionist scenario, but right now I'm rushed for time, so I'll post them tonight.

[Patine]

Here's my ideas. First, I thought that maybe the Americans could have a Statue of Liberty Wonder, but not actually the Statue of Liberty. Instead, it would use either the Eiffel Tower or Women's Suffrage slot (only because it seems to be such a powerful symbol down there). Second, I thought maybe the Western separatists and California could have a secret alliance, or at least a good initial attitude toward each other, as their goals are similar, and a Western Canadian Conservative gov't and Californian Republican one would have much in common. And also, I think that California should be able to utilize F-15's by taking them from the National Air Guard (I saw them on the runway coming down in LAX on a trip to Disneyland several years ago.

BTW, could I please get just two more split flags: an Imperial German/Royal Italian mix (circa 1901), and, for the same scenario (switched with a batch file), a Nazi German/Fascist Italian mix? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[Sarsstock]

Sure those flags won't be a problem. As for the F-15's of the air national guard, I like that idea quite a bit.

What other hardware would California use in battle I wonder?

I think that also California could easily subourn the local Coast Guard, thus getting PT boats and even frigates. They could even arm LAPD police choppers as makeshift gunships. The Western Canadians and First Nations would likely rely on infantry, but perhaps with the 'ignore zones of control' and 'alpine' abilities. Quebec, I think, should be able to arm a few vehicles (assuming they don't get stolen, what with Montreal being North America's car theft capital and all), but they'd likely be more for mobility than firepower or armor. Quebecois gunboats on the St. Lawerance are also possible. I imagine that the U.S., due to budget cuts, would have had to decommission many vehicles (especially expensive ships) and discharge many personnel, but would still have the best stuff initially. Canada would have much as they do today: APC's, Leopard II's, CF-18's, and frigates, mostly. Tell me what you think and anything you'd add.

[Sarsstock]

Again, those are all great idea's, I also have to say I love Typhoon's bikini-clad machine gun totting roller blading squads.

The LAPD uses Bell Jet Ranger's as their helicopters, I'll have to look into what the other major cities of California use. Lets also look into the helicopters which the California National Guard uses.

Here's a site for the LAPD Aviation unit.

Great bit of research there! I think maybe the Western Canadians could possibly arm their provincial fleets of aircraft (except B.C., which sold its), though they'd by nature strictly be bomb-dropping, ground support rig-ups. As well, armed vehicles like California and Quebec would have wouldn't be beyond the West, either. The Cuban/Hispanics should have a cheap and fast, but fragile, sea transport unit to carry units and supplies across the water to Florida. As well, the island of Cuba itself should have lots of AA batteries (as I think it actually currently does).

BTW, please don't forget about those flags. Thanks!

[Sarsstock]

Sorry for the delay, here are those flags you requested.

[Patine]

Thanks again for the great flags! What do you think of my newest ideas for units, and do you have any new ones?
