I should have clarified. What I meant to say is that the highest priority for training and funding is on the special forces, not numbers but the ammount of resources they get.

I agree that having a lot makes them less "special". It's why the Crimson Guard has only about 1,000 or so at any given time. The main reason is because they are meant to be the most fanaticaly (think Fremen/Saudakar from Dune or Space Marines from Warhammer 40K) and the most highly trained.

In that case, there's not really a limit... just a question of balance. Divide your budget up as you see fit. spending 30 million dollars per Crimson Guard may give you fanatical ubermensch, but makes the ordinary Khazaron solider very... ordinary.

Bedistan is extremely unlikely to be involved in this war at all, given our "0%" defense budget (I consider it to be 0.5%, given that the XML feed only gives integer percentages) and my out-and-out complete lack of war RP ability. But here's a map anyway.

Would someone like to help me make a map of Lamoni? I don't have any Photoshop type programs here.

Okay, much better now, have better stats, more detail. Lacking in detail for planes, APCs/IFVs and coastal defense ships, and maybe I'll throw in a few more types of stuff later. And the numbers look funny (i.e., not multiples of 5 and 10) because I just divided stuff. I don't think you'll ever see most of these numbers again though. And the numbers of units are weird because it works off powers of 2 (256 men in a company, for example).

Defense Budget: 12,045,242,393,210.88 (30% of the total budget)

Total Men In Military: 55,206,000

Army (incl. Spec Forces) - 49,409, 370 (89.5%, expect this to drop about .5-1.25% sometime soon though)

Navy - 276,030 (.5%)

Air Force - 5,520,600 (10%)

Non-Logistical Useful Personnel:

Army - 30,139,716

Navy - 168,378

Air Force - 3,367,566

Army:
Special Forces - 753,493

Main Army - Composed of 14 Army Groups of 2,097,152 mean each, 7 Active, 7 Reserve

29,386,223 Soldiers
14,693,111 Pairs
7,346,556 Half-Squads
3,673,278 Squads
459,160 Platoons
114,790 Companies
28,697 Half-Regiments
14,349 Regiments
1,794 Brigades
448 Divisions
56 Armies
14 Army Groups

Navy:
340 Ships, 4 Fleets, 85 ships each. 2 Active, 2 Reserve.
92,608 Shipmen
Each Fleet composed of 43 Oliver Hazar Perry Class Frigates and 42 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers
In addition to the men (to be taken from my military total) and ships for the coastal defense force, which has yet to be determined.

Air Force:
841,892 Pilots
No idea on amounts or numbers or types of planes yet. They will be good and plentiful thought.

Interfering bastards, the lot of you. Myself, Nedalia and Hypocria had (emphasis on past tense, there) a nice little part of the war worked out there

We still do. I already talked to Lamoni about it, told him we had previous plans.

Here are the preliminary troop strengths for the armed forces of the Socialist Union of Neu Amerika:

Defense Budget: $816,369,321,600.00 (17%)

Total Manpower: 58,900,000 (4.43% of population) This number includes citizens serving in the military due to the long estabished Mandatory Service Conscription Act as well as the longer-term more 'professional' soldiers.

Crimson Army: 51,000,000 (87% of forces)

Crimson Air Force: 5,000,003 (8% of forces)

Crimson Navy (on Lake Bekk): 200,007 (.3% of forces)

Spetznaz/Crimson Army Special Forces: 800,000 (1.4% of forces)

People's Guards (Army Reserve): 1,000,000 (1.7% of forces)

National Air Reservists: 899,990 (~1.6% of forces)

More details will be posted when I have thought them through better than at this moment.

ummmmmm...you might wanna check that figure again, Neu, against most of the other figures. The percentage population in the military is a tad high, even for a conscripted military. Look in the Military Creation Guide for some figures about even China and the USSR.
