        Well, I certainly have no intention of RPing a 13 million strong military. And people most certainly would RP with reduced numbers if that was what it took to get a technological edge.

          the 13 million should be halved to allow for support and logisitics,, so only a 7 million army..

            No No no. It's not " I am spending 500 points on bananaland."

            Like this, for example:

            Code:
            Azan has 2,456,155 points.
            
            for that, I'll take:
            
            a)
            120 regiments of Main Battle tanks, Ultra High-tech, Elite crew. 
            
            That would be:
            120x600x2.5x3= 540,000
            ( in this example, 600 is the cost for an MBT regiment, 2.5 is the technology modifier, and 3 is the crew modifier.)
            
            b) 210 regiments of Mechanized Infantry, Medium technology, Elite crew
            
            That would be:
            210x300x1.2x3=226800
            etc. etc.
            Of course, this is an example.

                Will there be a record of whar ppl chhose with their points? Or will they just change it to suit a particular battle every time? Sounds good but we need to get it fixed once you select you equipment.

                    Jeez, a nation's economic priorities have a very big effect on its numbers.
                    You should probably reduce this a bit, as this doesn't always apply IRL.

                            Check out Soda v. Auto Manufacturing.
                            It (probably) influences the economic (and therefore military) might of a nation, but does it shrink their army enlistment?

                              Sorry guys, I've realy only just started to read this stuff. I think the idea of using the mil calculator for generating point is a good idea. Then spending the points to buy military is even better.
                              We would need some type of moderator to keep track of things but if we posted once a week our mil points, everyone could keep track of what is available.
                              Then if someone all of a sudden has an extra 50 tank regiments they can justify how they got them.
                              Once it gets up and going we could add things like defeated reqiments are reduced to 50% strength for a pre determined time. ect ect. Something along the lines of regaining strength at 2% per rt day. That would mean aprox 1 month to regain 100%.

                              Just a thought.

                              We would need to standardise what regiments, Divisions, Brigades are. I think most ppl here have their Divisions around 25k. That's fine but as for my Divisions they are 46k but only 16k infantry, 31k in total fighting troops, the rest are support of some kind or another.
                              You have to face reality you cannot have 25k troops in the field with out support.
                              Of course you can have infantry divisions in the field but not on their onw and not as a majority of ones forces.
                              I will post my division breakdown when I work out where to post it.

                                I would. No matter how large my military gets, I would make over 3/4's of it dedicated to internal policing and security. Having an overly large military would not be fair to the other nations, IMHO, and I would rather have my nation on a lesser offensive military footing compared to other nations....I think it would be only fair for my nation to be weaker than others.
