And then, by "mistake", afghan guns are fired towards the turkish lines, turkey is overrun, annexed, the officer in command of the artillery is found guilty of treason, then shot. Everyone is happy, exept for the turks, that is

Thats a good starategy but i dont know...im looking for something a bit like the Mukden incident. But still i havent invaded Turkey and whose to say i will beat them if i do...u never know they could overpower my invasion forces and push me back to Kabul! I am still very surprised though how Bagdhads army which composed of 5 regular infantry divisions was so easily beaten by my Mixed army which consistes of 5 mere Malitia battalions although they are quite experienced.

Ha ha, $5 says you have five of those three year plans.

I havent started on any of those plans yet and i would add a pic of my new empire but i dnt know how too. Another thing which isnt on the plan is the conquest of jarkant. bUT ILL WAIT FOR jAPANS OMBIGUOS HELP 1ST.

The Afghan Navy ...

Whats wrong with an Afghan Navy..

 

[stnylan]

Nothing's wrong, that's why I smiled! Ok, grinned. I like it when formerly landlocked countries succumb to the lure of the sea.

I know i havent answered for a wile ive jus been a bit busy but here we go.

On November 22nd there are terrific celebrations in Shiraz as the 1st Afghan Batlleship is launched into the pacific ocean and the Afghan Navy comes into effect proper with the King at the Head of the Navy and he has a special Maritime suit copied from famous European Naval Admirals cut for him in honour of the occasion. On the 30th of that same month there are horrendous sand storms in Saudi Arabia and the Farah Cavalry out on excercises are caught in the open Arabian Desert and are almost virtually wiped out. The Empire mourns for a whole day and the King hosts the burial of the bodies who could be found in Basrah. On Febuary 8th a New Infantry division with Artillery support is formed and merged into the Central Army stationed on the Turkish border at Tabriz.

The Kin meets with his advisors and discusses further expansion plans. Saudi Arabia is discussed but dismissed as the land are almost inhosbitable and the armies would have to cross vast deserts plauged by sand storms. Turkey was deemed to powerfull at that moment in time as was Nationalist China and Britain could still uphold 18 divisons on Afghan Borders and so the King proposed to concentrate on Industry Building and re armament. On Febuary 23rd 1938 the 2nd bATTLE SHIP of the Afghan Navy is launched and the Kings Brother is made Admiral of that it..

You said that you were in search of more british protectorates? How about Jemen and Oman, they´re rich in oil and so on.

By the way, are you at war with the allies, or have you sued for peace?

Oh didnt i say i sued for peace on seperate terms and they both accepted. I Oman is definatly on my list its just i dont have any transports at the moment and a passage through Saudi Arabia can proove fatal as my Elite arah Cavalry found out. Im really jus consolidating my defence until i can take Turkey on and then Russia and Britian better watch out but im going to atleast build a sizeable regualr army at the moment and then with the resources from Turkey and Oman i can trade and will be able to build up a larger army which can take on the likes of Britain and Russia. Im avoiding the main war at the moment though.

 

[Henry v. Keiper]

Funny how some allies are willing to sign a peace treaty shortly after declaring war to defend another ally.

 

[unmerged(15579)]

Hmmm, maybe you should build a few transports, and grab Saudia Arabia.
Easy target.

And your colonial goal could be Siam, or maybe Liberia. What patch are you using? Also, any mods?

I have already dismissed the idea of invading Saudi Arabia as it is an extremley hard nation to conquer without loosing much organisation and then half of m army could be lost to that whilst im invading and its provinces arent worth much. Ill think ill stay as freinds with them.

I think ill go for Liberia and im using v1.03 SRM

I havent discovered the technology to build Transports at the moment. What do you have to reserch in the Naval department to get them?

Kabul was merged into a deep mist and a bitter coldness hung in the air. Every breathe was like a stab in the throat. Up high thorugh the gloom coul be seen the dim, yellow,paleness of lights, these were the lights from the windows of the King Royal Palace. A large magnificent stone building which stood up high over Kabul surveying the surrounding lands.

Afghan Royal Palace

King: "What gastly weather"the king said as he looked out from his window were he could usually see for miles but could barely make out the entrance gates to his palace.(he was surrounded by servents but reffered to no one).A few servants who wanted to gain favour with the King muttered inconceivable 'yes's. The King laughed out loud at the servants who had muttered agreements to him. They would do anything to gain favour with him he thought. He smiled as an idea came to him.
"You" he spun around and pointed a plump golden ringed finger at a lanky middle aged servant with greying hair. "s-s-sir" the servant stammered surprised to have been noticed by his master. "What is your name" the King inquired.
The servants eyes lit up, "Abdullah Mahazi, your excellency" he blurted out excitedly. All the servants stared at Abdullah with jealousy.
"Well Abdullah Mahzi would you like to go on a special mission for me" the king asked sternly but he already knew the answer.
"Of course my King, anything you command" the servant kneeled.
"Get up you fool!" the King shouted as he strolled over to his bejeweled, Lebanese wooden throne.
"Yes my liege" the servant stammered as he shot up and stood to attention like a parade ground soldier.
"I would like you to travel to the port of Oman" the king spoke in a demanding tone as he motioned for a servant to light his cigar.
"What in the Oman, sir" the servant asked stupidly.
"were else" the King blew a cloud of smoke and it rose up to the stone ceiling and hung their like the mist outside. "You can travel by means of horseback to the port of Shiraz were you shall board a convoy to the Oman".He looked at the rest of the servants who stood motioless and starring at the floor. "Every one leave" the King bellowed.
The servants shuffled out of the main door leading to the throne room. "Emissary" the king said smoothly to no reply. "Abdullah Mahzi" he said in a firmer tone this time and the man in question swung around to face his King,"Your Majesty?"
"Why did you not answer me before the King asked, his face was expresionless.
"A thousand pardons sir, i did not hear you call me" the Servent pleaded.
You are my Emisasary arent you?" the King asked.
"err.yess,sir" the servent answered confusedly.
The King beckoned him forward, "have a seat", by this he meant for Abdullah to sit on his elaborate gold trimmed, silk tasseled Persian Rug depicting an ancient battle, which lay opposite the throne.
Abdullah sat down on the rug cross legged and stared up with wide inquisitve eyes at his king like a schoolboy does to his teacher.

Fuhrer is Right:
Build a few Transports, declare war on th Saudis and make landings in their port.
You only need their port and Ryad.
Even more sinsiter, you could deploy your troops in the before mentioned provinces(you have military acces, right?), Cancel the military acces, wait a week and declare war.
The Saudis are pushovers, you are sure to win either way.
To Build transports you need to Research a naval tech (or doctrine) called transport unit combat procedure... or something like that.

You are aware of the penalties of travelling / Staying in provinces with less than 34 in infrastructure right? Yout troops can't get supplied and will die.

Interesting AAR, by the way. Makes me wanna play the afghans.. or persians

 

[unmerged(15579)]

Yup, you have to research a doctrine called "Naval Unit Transport Doctrine" or something like that. It activates the transport unit, and from there, you just build one. They're cheap as hell, and pretty fast to build.

Abdullah Mahzi sat on his donkey, dust rose in the air and made him choke, he rubbed his eyes profusefly and a pair of flies busied them selves around his head, he brushed them away annoyidly with a dirty nail bitten finger. He was on his way to the port of Shiraz but had been caught in the Hustle and bustle of a market in the Province of Mazzi I Shariff.
He had been ordered by royal proclamtion to visit the port of Mescat in Oman.
Once there he was to start up a number of investigations finding out the Oman army size, Their economic state, the best approaches to the capital and port and any thing else which could be helpfull to an 'Invading Army'.
But that would all happen once he could get out of this heap of men, chikens and other poultry animals and woman wieving in and out of the crowd.
