Oh god dammit I forgot about that.

Looks like I'll have to invade Persia. :eek:o

I made that mistake once too in my Tibet game. Have to annexed Persia to get a naval base to deploy my 1st navy ship.
It's too bad you lost India to Jap, will assist in manpower problem, well unless you intend to modify that ;)
You researched spearhead doctrine but Japan ally is on Firepower Focus I think, it means no blueprints for your Land Doctrines. That's one downside. You better hope of good skill techteam takeover. Skill 2 team takes about a year to research each land doc. tech!

A persian invasion sounds like a good idea, although you would have to contend with Iraq and the likelihood of Allied forces sweeping into Persia to reinforce it.

I thought long and hard about the land doctrine thing. I decided that since i have such a small army then the German techs would be better overall. Plus at the time I was considering joining the axis. Unfortunatly Japan was really threataning my borders and getting aggressive so i decided to join them instead to get rid of an immediate threat.

Plus I knew that Germany would probably go for the SU, who currently have about 50 divisions parked on my border...

No worries there. All mighty Tibet has to do is annex the puny SU to get better tech teams LOL

I might try to grab some territory off them if I'm feeling confident and Germany declares war. I can't at the moment, as I said above, I'd guess they have around 50 divisions on my border (can't see division sizes).

A persian invasion sounds like a good idea, although you would have to contend with Iraq and the likelihood of Allied forces sweeping into Persia to reinforce it.

I'm taking that into account - once I've got Persia, unless Iraq declares independence (which I've seen it do when threatened) I'll have to take out Iraq and possibly British reinforcements. It'll depend on how many they send, my army has about 8 or 9 infantry/mountain divisions overall, and I think I could take out a stack of 7 British Divisions on a good day. Ofcourse, nobody said I'd fight them head on :D


Wow, nicely done. I guess Persia is the only option...:D

Pretty much as they were before I think. Germany is just sitting there, looking cool and not attacking anyone.

A Change of Plan
flag.png


prep.jpg

Right, Since the Indians wont let us use their docks to berth our soon-to-be Glorious Navy, I've decided to invade Persia.

This sounds a little strange, but the dockworkers really won't let us use the docks in Karachi, they keep blabbing on about the British coming back. Pah! Not bloody likely!

Anyway, as you can see, I'm mustering our forces on the Persian border.

IU also changed what we're working on, as we can't use the docks at Karachi, I decided to expand our Glorious Army further.

construct.jpg

The one problem with going to war with Persia is that once we crush their tiny army and annex their nation, we'll immediately have to deal with the Iraqis who are allies with the British.

problem.jpg

Also, the British will have a clear corridor to send reinforcements via land. This would take months, but it is entirely likely. We'd need a quick and decisive victory in Iraq, and then we'd need to put up a defence in the Iraqi corridor.

And Now a World News Broadcast

And Welcome to a Tibetan News Broadcast, All Hail our Glorious Leader!

europe.jpg

Well in Europe it's pretty quiet, except the incompetent Germans got lost while attempting to invade the British homeland, and ended up invading Ireland by mistake. Truly they are useless and incompetent compared to our Glorious Army.

japannex.jpg

Earlier this year, Japan annexed the tiny and utterly unimportant country of The Philippines and have continued their conquests in the region.

oceania.jpg

And now, our National Anthem: "Our Glorious Mountain".

Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcast

schwerpunkt.jpg

Sheng Shicai finally finished Schwerpunkt Doctrine, and so I got monk Jamyang working on something he'd been pestering me about for ages. He wants to make some kind of machine to automatically perform mathematical equations, he seems to think we could use it to encrypt our messages. I'm now pretty certain he's senile.

tech.jpg


And Now...

We can't go 6 months without a war can we?

Im looking forward to this conflict, it could be a very good thing for you...as long as you win. Persian oil reserves could be handy, a future war with Saudi Arabia would also allow the annexation of Yemen etc.

Also curious to see if you will change your mind once your goals are achieved and race to the suez [as i do] and hold the British off there.

Another curiousity is to see if you allow any former nation to be lucky enough to arise from its ashes and be your humble, idiotic puppet in the region :D

Onward To Stalingrad! Wait... that isn't in Persia...
flag.png


eek.jpg

Well things didn't start out so well... It turns out the Persian military is really quite advanced and our Intelligence services didn't inform us.

warandtech.jpg

It also turns out that for whatever reason they're rather attached to their territory and don't want to join our Glorious Empire.

march.jpg

Obviously they don't know just how awesome the Awesome Supreme Stratagem of the Holy Army of Tibet is!

ohthanks.jpg

The Japanese even decided to help by sending me an army. An army stationed months away from the front line. My Reaction:


kaneclap.gif



And Then it All Went Tits Up.

SUwar.jpg

Oh crap. Oh crap oh crap oh crap.

Ok... so the Soviets have what? 50 divisions on my border. I mean, they are child hating communists, but at 5:1 odds they may be a problem.

Luckily the Germans joined the party:

barbarrosa.jpg

Also, realising the severity of the situation, the Japanese have leant us some forces and are scrambling their armies to help defend our Glorious Empire. Obviously they realise that if we lose, they don't have any chance!

woo.jpg

Ok, it isn't over yet, first things first, we can't afford to stay at war with Persia, first, because we need to crush the puny Soviet Union, second because we... well we don't really want to expand the front line against the puny Soviet Union. It would make crushing them a lot harder.

Luckily Persia realised that Tibet is a Glorious and all powerful Empire and they aren't and they accepted our offer of a white peace:

peace.jpg


Status Report

war.jpg

Well the Soviet Union are at war with everyone, which unfortunately includes us. Why is it every time I launch an offensive, some minor power wishes to challenge me? Why can't they just accept that I'll conquer them when I have time!?

state.jpg

Currently we're just holding the line against the Soviets. They'll need to divert troops to take on the Germans and the Japanese are sending reinforcements to the front.

Also, we out tech the Soviets [somehow?!] and our infantry and doctrines are superior, if we play our cards right, I foresee expansion into central Russia as a distinct possibility!

Somehow I missed the Glorious Empire becoming a force to be reckoned with on a technological level. Also how is it '44 with the Germans just attacking? Or were they already doing Barbarossa in '42?

I missed that bit too, but the Soviets are fielding '39 infantry and we're fielding '41. They chucked 3 divisions at 1 of mine in Kashgar and lost...

Germany didn't attack in '42. They didn't go for Denmark or Norway either, I'm not sure why. Hitler's been a bit of a hippie tbh. Still even if they are 2 years late, it's good to have the axis on side.

Shit.

Well, with your superior doctrine, you might be able to do some damage to the Soviets, I think you should give up Navy and build Airforce.

Good luck.

This is the perfect opportunity to double the size of your glorious empire!

Stupid Soviets should be punished for ruining your war with Persia.
