Lord Finnius, Emperor Romanus, and Harvester360
Since there is concerns about these three, and they claim to be brothers, I need to leave a note, and I figured this is the best place to leave it.

They aren't getting banned - but they are, as per policy, barred from heavy interaction in the games.

Mscoree, up to you to determine how much interaction is too much - your game, after all - and let me know if they fail to listen.

On another note - you guys need to archive this talk page, lol.

Lordganon (talk) 09:54, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

It appears they have the intention of working together in the UR. I will allow that, as its probably easier to prevent metagaming that way, and justify them working together, than if they were separate nations. Mscoree (talk) 12:59, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that is metagaming for them to do that. In the worst way, as a matter of fact.

Yes, you archived more or less right.

Lordganon (talk) 14:07, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

It makes more sense that two nations in a union would be more 'in the know' than two random, unrelated nations. Mscoree (talk) 19:20, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Not really - all it does is give them an advantage over others. That's why we have this rule. Lordganon (talk) 08:30, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. Mscoree (talk) 12:07, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

First Archive
I made the first archive. Hopefully I did it correctly. Mscoree (talk) 13:09, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

TO DO LIST
Want to contribute more to this map game, but don't know where to start? Try doing one of these simple tasks, which can greatly improve the map game. Here's your opportunity to really show your creativity.

Nations
If you have not already done so, please create a short profile for your nation detailing some basic information and history. Just click on your nation below to get started. If you have created a nation, but your nation isn't list on the template, contact Mscoree so it can be added.

The above template should also appear at the bottom of your nation profile, and at the bottom of all NotLAH pages.

Feel free to start contributing to the other pages as well.

Here is an example of a nation profile: here. Copy the text on that page (in source) and paste it onto your nation page (in source), then change the information.

The Nations page is also in need of improvement. You can help by adding your nation's information.

You can also add your current territories and colonies to the Territories page.

Art
Here are some art/map/flag stuff that you can do.
 * Make flags (see below)
 * Add already existing flags to the nations on the main page

Flags
Nations that need flags. Try to be logic with flag creation by researching the region and creating a flag that positively displays that regions roots/mother country.
 * Juarez
 * Republic of Alaska (Alaskan Rebels)
 * Northwest Federation
 * Forgottonia
 * Isle of Wight
 * London
 * Northern Ireland

Wars

 * Malta- Declines
 * Luxembourg- Declines

Plan of Action:
Operation Hydra will consist of three key stages:


 * Stage 1: An amphibious assault will start in France, Italy, West Germany, and Spain. While Turkish, EHU, and Soviet forces (if they join) will advance from the Forward Operating Base of Castle Dracula. Pushing through Romania to other regions and Bucharest. Meanwhile other forces will start to rapidly clear out Paris, Berlin, Rome, and Madrid.


 * Stage 2: Once these beach heads and cities are secure a pincer movement will start to move around Europe, clearing the infection by the coast. This will center the mass of zombies in the middle of Europe. FOBs will station artillery pieces to fire at zombie hordes/masses and bombers will be sent out on Scorched Earth tasks. After two months of this Stage 3 will start.


 * Stage 3: The main plan of this is to re-settle the post infected cities. Then advance into the center of Europe where the infection will cornered on the continent. Joint-military air strikes will soften up targets and then the main ground forces will strategically charge in; setting up multiple FOBs. While this is all happening, troops stationed the re-settled post infected towns/cities/villages will establish checkpoints and routine patrols. After all this a new follow up operation will start.

Discussion
Some of the nations on the list don't exist anymore or have different names, so I removed them. Mscoree (talk) 14:28, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

It is against the rules to use RNG if you have a conflict of interest, and aren't a moderator. Mscoree (talk) 14:34, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Nations
Any nations who wish to liberate Bolivia and Northern Chile in aid of a fellow nation please list yourselves below. Possible Nations: Any others, please list below:
 * United Republic- (Chile is the UR, and already is at war in Chile.)
 * United States- (Already aiding the UR)
 * Turkey- Declines but might join later. Will send supplies though. Edboy452 (talk) 16:09, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Saudi Arabia-
 * Canada-
 * Soviet Union-
 * United Kingdom-
 * Scotland-
 * Isle of Wight-

Thank you for adding your name to the list, Chile is eternally in your debt.

PLAN
Phase 1

This stage will consist of building strong fortifications across Southern Chile. Participating troops will be moved into underground bunkers underneath the Northern Wall ready for the liberation.

Phase 2

Commando raiders and quick armoured battalions will commence lightning raids on the occupied ground. Air cover will be provided in the form of the collaberated airforces of the participating nations. A wave of assasins will be sent to kill the rebel leaders.

Phase 3

Armour in the form of tanks and light artillery will advance at top speed in a night time surprise attack on thee communist occupied territory. Following close behind them will be the infantry followed by any other units.

Phase 4

The mustered special forces of the nations will attack the main enemy camp by helicopter after it has been bombarded by the Royal Navy and/or other nations.

Phase 5

The airports will be taken by the FSF teams.

Phase 6

The country is secured by the UR police forces along with the collaborating armies.

Phase 7

Chile will be eternally in debt (not in money!!!) to the nations that helped it in its hour of need.

Discussion
And just like that everyone is involved in another Vietnam war. The parallel is scary:

Northern communists versus south. Jungle biome. Guerrilla fighters. US involvement slowly escalates.

Hmm Mscoree (talk) 16:18, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Falklands has already sent a Kill Team to deal with the Rebel leaders

I think the 'kill team' you speak of was the one that was shot down. Mscoree (talk) 16:19, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

No, the downed team were sent in last turn, and the Kill Team were sent in this turn
