It's all a conspiracy! They're watching us! They're watching this forum! BEWARE!!!!
Seriously though, I dunno about conspiracy. I think the politicking we just saw was more along the line of naive appeasement. With a bit of power grab thrown in.

Ok, so I was just looking at the guest comic this week, and was struck by Tenzin's gun. It reminded me of another weapon, the MP-35 from Old Man's War. Anyone heard of it?
In short, it's a multi-purpose gun that utilizes nanotechnology to construct and fire different types of ammunition on the fly.

I was Born in New Zealand, went to high school and University in Australia, lived in Japan for three years and now live in the Inner Mongolia region of China.
I agree with Dazim about what would happen to Australia. Though, I think New Zealand would have an easier time isolating itself from the rest of the world. This is in part because we're not really worth invading. If Australia and the UK are fighting, we would send some force to support them. New Zealand would probably receive its share of refugees too.
Japan will most likely end up fighting on two fronts. China in the south and Russia in the North. In the south, the Senkaku Islands (the the natural gas reserves under them) makes a perfect flash point to start off a war between Japan, the PRC and probably Taiwan. In the north, the Japanese really really want the South Kuril Islands back. Japan claims the islands were illegally taken from them after WWII. If Japan gets the chance, they will definitely invade these islands. The Russians will see this coming - almost literally - and I wouldn't be surprised if the result was very bloody. Japan might then try to take the rest of the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin. In a world charging into WWIII, I can imagine Japan dropping its 'pacifist' constitution and rearming more openly. Japan already has a surprisingly powerful military for a country that officially renounces war.
The People's Republic of China will obviously be involved in any major war in Asia, quite possibly trying to take on pretty much everyone else at the same time. I already mentioned the Senkaku Islands above. There's also the possibility of trying to take back Taiwan and the Spartly Islands - and other South China Sea - disputes with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei. I wouldn't be surprised if large parts of eastern China glow in the dark for decades after the war. Once WWIII really kicks off, it would be reasonable to expect large-scale rebellions in Xinjiang and Tibet, possibly Inner Mongolia too. Xinjiang already has active insurgencies while Tibet and Inner Mongolia both have separatist movements. Inner Mongolia has a lot more Han Chinese than Mongolians though. So I think they'll have a harder time trying to break away until the PRC has been hammered hard by other powers. It would make sense for China's opponents to support, and even arm these uprisings; The more resources China has to devote to putting down these uprisings, the less they have to fight other nations. A genocide or two might be needed to put down uprisings in Xinjiang and secure the oil fields there. They can then resettle refugees from the east there after the more 'Chinese' parts of China get nuked.

1) The Great Khanate. 2) The Temples of Shenjiao. 3) Turkmen
I have quite an interest in the Cultures of Mongolia and China, though the Khanate faction interests me a lot more.

1> minerva 2> NRF 3> the horde
i'm an english speaker, with some bad german, and almost non-existant french, i'd prefer to be involved in a faction that has a reasonably ordered military force, as that's my background

Gurps is evil, and hellishly complicated, although it does have a number of useful tables in it's, MANY volumes, i'm with Dazim though, the use of randomised guff, completely neuters the point of including correct orbat, movord, logdem etc in your weekly actions!
my two cents
Dazim, i love the idea of "can we keep him"! it's, something grunts do..................

Brown on the map is mountainous terrain. Most of Mongolia's valleys separated by mountain ranges. Within the valley skate sailing is possible, but in the mountains it will have to bear. Коричневое на карте это горная местность. Большая часть Монголии это долины, отделенные друг от друга горными хребтами. В пределах долины кататься под парусом можно, но через горы его придется нести на себе. Holy sh... ! Look at those mountains ! Damn ! They definitely need more horses than I thought. Every soldier in Ghengis Khan's army had at least 3 horses. Doubling that might be a good idea, if possible. It'll be a pain in the neck for logistics though. How about some Bactrian Camels too? They're not as fast as horses but they are light on upkeep. It would also add some variety to the faction.

Is this tread still open? Or should I be posting over here: thedemonarchives.freeforums.net/thread/15/faction-2-great-khanateHow would Inner Mongolia fit into this? It makes sense that the main cities would be devastated, but that's where most of the Han Chinese live. The smaller farming communities, particularly in the north are likely to fare much better. Many Mongolians in Inner Mongolia aren't big fans of Han Chinese either. New of a great new Khan in the North-west could draw a good deal of support from whatever is left of Inner Mongolia.

Я без претензий, но в теме "Если есть желание творить" подобное обсуждали.

Basically, I'd need a person/group of people to help be the mods and do everything I did: decide on outcomes of decisions, random events, etc.
