Outraged you declared a Jihad against them and with the help of the Danub tribe you managed to soundly defeat them. To their suprise you did not rape and pillage their village but instead left your Imam and a squad of soldiers behind to convert them to Islam.
Afterwards you were contacted by a representative of the Harrier/Schultz Mining Corp and offered $10000 and contacts to a PMC to retake the copper mine from General Wazda's men.
You discovered that the mine is commanded by Captain Malka who offered to split the cut so that he would pull his troops out and reoccuppy the mine later. You offered to pay for him to leave the country but he refused.

BUY T-55s and BMP-1s!

NOW.

The rules are simple. You can buy things from soldiers to hydroponics to help you win the revolution.
Everything you buy has a quality level. Primitive(Bows, Arrows, and Spears), Poor(Hunting Rifles, Civilian Equipment), Average(AKs, Low grade military equipment)
Good(Modern western military standard), and Superb(Give the US Marine Corp a run for their money). Quality effects the price of the item.
You have 3 resources to use:
Money: Use it to buy equipment
Supplies: Whenever you send units into combat they consume supplies based on their quality level + a base cost for the unit.
Primitive: 0SU, Poor: 1SU, Average: 2SU, Good: 4SU, Superb: 6SU.
Eg: A primitive infantry squad costs 0SU, a good infantry squad costs 4SU, and a superb helicopter costs 10SU (6 for Superb + 4 for Helicopter)
Happiness: The level of satisfaction for tribesmen and allies have with your regime. When happiness goes into the negative it means the people fear/hate you. Both come with their own risks and rewards.

Money: $1150
You have 2 infantry squads(Average) and one technical(Average) + 1 truck(currently a battle taxi) + 1 squad(average)[guarding the Imam]
You have 7 SU
Happiness 50%: (Maybe we won't have to live in fear anymore)

Assets:
School(empty)
Mosque: Maintained through donations
Small Commercial Farm: +$100 per month
Expanded Cattle Ranch: +$300 per month
Docks and Brothel: +$200 per month

Roll a D20 to choose your action.

You still have not decided on what to do about the mine.
The Imam is still working on converting the Jajub.
Your village elders are calling for more infrastructure improvements.
War is still raging in the neighboring country.
Breaking News!: General Wazda has just purchased a custom made gold plated Hind Helicopter. In a report to the press he said, "It matches perfectly with my gold plated ak-47."

>>15667981

Maybe we should pay to upgrade that truck to an armoured APC or technical.

Also, we should take the 'pay 50%' deal, and use that month occupying to prepare for an ambush. With some good troops, we can manage it.

>>15667984

Gold Plated Hind?

Well, we know exactly what to blow up when we are willing to start the revolution in earnest.

>>15667984
Infrastructure first, I suppose. Occupy the school with a teacher, expand the farm and the well to go with it.

Then, I think, buy up to 8 SU and upgrade a technical and infantry to Good. Can we do that?

>>15668008
Here.
>>15667995
This sounds decent. I think we should agree to the deal, split the money and then launch a surprise attack on the mine anyway though. As long as no one hears about it it shouldn't affect our rep.

Hell, celebrate with them about the deal and drug their liquor.

>>15668008

Don't have the equipment for good.

We can get it if we take the mine though.

>>15668008
1 SU costs approximately $200.
Good quality weapons are not available to you yet but if you get the contacts with the PMC then they will be. They are pricy though.

>>15668008
WHAT? FUCK YOU! Since when do we invest in building our country and not our military!

>>15668034
Since the very start of the quest? That was literally the first half of the quest.

>>15668034
What this guy said, we need a stronger army! A surprise attack will help us.

>>15668034

When we somewhere decided we wanted to raise quality troops.

Seriously, we have a large percentage of high quality troops by the standards of a 3rd world rebellion.

rolled 1 = 1

>>15668008
We're running on a tight schedule here.
We can't afford the teacher right now. Have you even looked at the prices?

Can the Company Man give us access to claymore mines and anti-vehicle land mines?
Tell him that we have a plan to get the military out of the mines without damaging any of the equipment there, but we need some explosives to destroy their technicals.

>>15668029
>>15668032
Ah, my bad. What other recruitment options are available to us, then? We could push to 8 SU and buy another squad to field. Infantry, technical, anything else?

>>15668042
The you are a stupid fucking moron and shouldn't be in charge of the country.

I am forming a splinter group inside the armed forces determined to take you out.

Ok, plan last thread was give Malka his half to leave. Afterwards, we buy up in mines and rockets and wait to ambush him next month, taking up all his equipment.

By then, we have the Jajub converted, the Danub as friends, and all the western PMC contacts we need.

>>15668051

The man with the factories wins the war.

Production of troops and money is king, not a rush with a horde of peasants.

>>15668048
Yes, it was expensive, but with the big payoff it shouldn't be too expensive. Expanding the farm and well also shouldn't cost too much, and we're going to have new sources of income soon too.

>>15668059

Which will be brilliant. When they worship the True God, we will integrate them. We are one people.

>>15668064
This. From the very start we were going for a cut above your average General Butt Naked's militia.

>>15668064
Wrong, this is AK-47, mobs win.

See any conflict in the area. The highly trained professional armies were forced to leave by mobs.

>>15668072
Why the fuck would you want to be anything BUT General Butt naked's militia?

THE MAN WAS A TACTICAL GENIUS!

>>15668072
Dumbest idea ever. Look at Iraq, Afghanistan, SOmalia. Untrained mobs win.

>>15668066
It's $300 a turn for a Poor teacher, assuming that's the lowest we'll go.
Our income is $600 a turn.
By getting Malka to leave, we need to pay him his share, which is $5000(we can recover it from his corpse, but he'll want that money up front), leaving us $5000 with which to upgrade our other technical to Average, raise another Average squad, and then buying the SU's needed to actually field our forces.

We can get a teacher later; right now we need to gear up for this fight.

We don't really have the numbers to make mobs yet. 200 people total.

ANYWAY.

I vote for the 'take the deal, get landmines and RPGS, fuck them when they return' idea.

>>15668096

Agreed. We'll get us a nice teacher when our position looks a little more stable.

>>15668098
200 People?

GIVE THEM AKs! WE HAVE THE WILLPOWER AND THE STRENGTH OF THE PEOPLE!

>>15668081
>>15668074
Our population is 200, and that's including everyone present. General Wazda has air support helicopters. Playing it smart and getting superior squads will be key to defeat him, EVENTUALLY.

>>15668098
>>15668059
Actually, the idea was to hit them as they're leaving, not when they're coming back.

When they're leaving, we know exactly what troops they have; when they come back in a month, they might have far more troops.

>>15668107

You do know 'Ak 47' is average, AKA Our Best Squad.

We'd be arming them with Spears if we went poor.

>>15668112
I definitely agree with this. They'll probably be prepared for betrayal on return, this is an african shithole.

>>15668048
"I can do that." He can't get land mines but he get get you claymores. Enough for your attack will cost $500.
An average infantry squad will cost $700
Upgrading the truck to a average technical will cost $2000, to poor will cost ($800)
Expanding the farms will cost $300 for +$100 a month
Expanding the Ranchs will $500 for +$200 a month.
You are now able to buy an ammo press for $1000. You will produce 1 SU a month.

>>15668113
SPEAR THE HEART OF OUR ENEMY WITH YOUR SPEAR!

(How about suicide bombers, do we have any of those?)

>>15668112

Actually, good plan.

Changing vote to hit them as they run off. They also won't have spent our money then.

Still, see if we can get some disposable rockets or mines to take out their technicals.

>>15668119
>Expanding the farms will cost $300 for +$100 a month
Do this at least. More income is good, and it'll make the villagers happier.

Hold off on the teacher, launch the ambush as they are leaving. After we have defeated the mine troops (buy the claymores) we can use our large amount of money for more considerable upgrades.

Vietnam went from spears to T-55s and the most sophisticated air defense system on Earth in just 30 years. The NVA are something all AK47 players should aspire to be, some time in the distant future.

>>15668119
I would actually say do all of these:
>Upgrading the truck to a average technical will cost $2000, to poor will cost ($800)
>Expanding the farms will cost $300 for +$100 a month
>Expanding the Ranchs will $500 for +$200 a month.
>You are now able to buy an ammo press for $1000. You will produce 1 SU a month.
But after we take the mine.

>>15668119

Ranch is the most cost effective option, though the Farms will be good too.

I vote: Claymores, any Support Needed for the attack, get money, spend on improvements to ranch/farms and ammo press. That's effectively $500 a month income.

>"I can do that." He can't get land mines but he get get you claymores. Enough for your attack will cost $500.
We should take those, at least, kill a squad fast.
>An average infantry squad will cost $700
Not sure on that
>Upgrading the truck to a average technical will cost $2000, to poor will cost ($800)
I think we can buy the Average too, half our bank gone, rest on SU
>Expanding the farms will cost $300 for +$100 a month
>Expanding the Ranchs will $500 for +$200 a month.
Iffy, but the Ranch gives us one more SU a month
>You are now able to buy an ammo press for $1000. You will produce 1 SU a month.
That can wait.

>>15668150

Mate, with our preference so far for 'Better tools' the Great Leader is going to be surprised by sodding Land Warrior Armour if we can find it.

Still, I like our focus on public opinion and quality. Means we do more with less.

>>15668183
I think we should just aim for average at most stuff, but create an army for ourselves and a religious force for our Imam who are at Good quality.

Being more disciplined and improving infrastructure is also going to make us much more attractive to First World supporters.

rolled 19 = 19

>>15668119
Okay, here's my plan and the budgeting:

We take the deal and the claymores from the Company Man, and set up the ambush. (+$10000, -$500)
We tell Malka we agree to the deal.(-$5000)
We upgrade the battletaxi to an Average Technical.(-$2000)
We raise another Average infantry squad.(-$700)
We improve the farms (-$300)
We purchase 5SU so we can use all of our squads and technicals in the ambush. (total of 12SU to deploy all 3 Average squads and 2 Average Technicals, -$1000)
That will leave us with $950.

>>15668164
Technically thats on top of what you already make.

Also the the assumption is that if infantry are at least average then they have an rpg.
You have bought the claymores and the farm.
You have 2 more turns to retake the mine.
Edit: Average squad should be $600
Money: 1150 - 500(claymores)- 300(farm) + 200(dock)+ 300(ranches) + 200(farms

rolled 12 = 12

>>15668209
The risk is that the captain had 3 poor technicals, 3 average squads, and 2 poor squads, that was his force correct?
We can only hope that the claymores will be used to devastating effect on the technicals and soldiers.

>>15668209
Okay. Buy the ammo press and ranch upgrade after we succeed in the ambush.

On that note: did we offer to be security for the guys who will come to the mine, at the cost of a nominal monthly fee? Because if we didn't do that: we should.

>>15668209
Well, dude has a financial plan, so I'll vote fir this too.

Are we getting the training for free before the ambush? Because in that case we alreday won. If not, we will get a few weeks tech up while training.

>>15668239

Sounds good. With the addition that it's not extortion, it's us actually making an offer they can turn down.

We don't want to get knocked over by the next group they hire by becoming their problem all over again.

>>15668248
Fair point.

>>15668248

Yeah, they have a lot of money to throw about. Sooner or later they may just go 'Fuck it, PMCs'

>>15668245
They have time to train one squad. This is provided for free this time but will cost money the next.

>>15668266
Okay people, time to choose, do we want:

A technical +squad to make sure no one gets away
An infantry +squad to give us a good opening shock

rolled 4 = 4

>>15668266
So it'll be 2 Average Squads, 2 Average Technicals, and one Average+ Squad

Can we ask the Company Man if he can spare PMC leaders for each squad?

>>15668280
Technical for sure. It'll help us later in our campaigns as well.

rolled 19 = 19

>>15668266
Okay, so payment is withheld until completion of contract. I can understand that.

Okay, modified plan:
This turn:
Start money: $1050
Buy 1 Average infantry $-600
Tell Malka the deal is a go; he is to start leaving next turn.
End money: $450
Next turn:
Start money: $1150
Buy 1 Poor Infantry $-500
Buy 3 SU $-600, = 10 SU in total
Set up ambush.
Attack with 3 Average infantry, 1 Poor infantry, 1 Average technical = 10 SU
End Money (not including money from Company) = $50

rolled 8 = 8

>>15668280
I say Average+ technical, since they're the hardiest unit we have, and the biggest investment we have. We need to make sure that it survives.

>>15668323
Oh, I forgot to include that the ambush is sprung on the second turn, as Malka leaves the mine.
Wait until he's cleared the mine and can't easily run back into it.

>>15668349

Agreed. Last things we want are damage to the mine or a siege.

You have bought 1 squad average
The PMCs have trained 1 squad to average +
Most of the PMCs do not speak your native language well, they would not be very effective as squad leaders.
Money:1050
You have one turn left to retake the mine.
You still have not agreed to Malka's plan.
Breaking News!: Reports have come in indicating that 2 new tribes are migrating into the area to the east. They are fleeing/retreating from your war torn neighbors.

>>15668367

We'll have to welcome them at some point. But busy now.

Let's agree to that deal and ambush the sucker.

>>15668367
>still have not agreed to Malka's plan
....what?
What about >>15668323
and >>15668209
They both have 19 and 18 on their dice rolls. Are you excluding noko'ed rolls? If so, why are you progressing time forward?

rolled 10 = 10

>>15668367
We want to agree to his plan! So he'll walk right into ours...

And maybe we should send an emissary to one or both of the new tribes and offer them refuge if they fold into ours.

>>15668393

I think we should wait until we are not busy fighting people. But it is a good plan.

rolled 2 = 2

>>15668367
We've been saying to agree to the Captain's plan so he becomes vulnerable to our ambush for the past two turns.
Agree to it, and get the SU's we need to deploy all of our forces, then spring the ambush.

>>15668386
My mistake, they were posted as I was typing the reply. You have agreed to Malka's deal and are planning to backstab him as he leaves the mine.
You have bought 5 Su for a total of 12 SU.
You have $1050 left
2 turns to retake the mine.
Any other orders or do you begin the attack?

>>15668455

Not until after the battle. After the battle we should totally welcome the refugees/expand the farms a lot.

Can't do one without the other.

>>15668367


So what tribes are these? Islamic, or other pagan ones to declare jihad on.

>>15668455
Wait, now I'm confused.
If we have 2 turns left, does that mean that our Average+ Infantry(which was trained in the 2nd turn) is gone?
5SU costs $1000, where did the money come from?
Did we still buy the new Average infrantry squad?

>>15668455
Attack.

>>15668467
A siege will end well for us, especially if we have any claymores left over. We could just leave Claymores at the exits of the mines and starve them into surrender.

Then kill them.

rolled 1 = 1

Did we get the money for that internet scam before, the one we rolled THREE 20s for?

rolled 8 = 8

>>15668524
What?
Wazda could have an armored column drive up and break the siege if we did that.
We need to ambush and kill Malka after he leaves the mine.

>>15668534
Yes, we did, and we already spent it. Read the previous session.

The copper mine is an enorghmous open sore on the face of the world. A toxic strip mined crater filled with heavy machinery with a single road traveling in or out. As you approach the mine you leave your technical and average + squad behind to set up the ambush. As you move within sight of the office building that Malka has chosen for his headquarters his soldiers snap to attention and surround you. Captain Malka strolls outs of the office smoking a cigar. "I trust you have brought my cut?" You hand over the money and he takes a long puff of the cigar. "It would be easy to take the money and kill you, but I would be a fool to close off such lucrative opportunities in the future. My men will be back in one month, if your men are still here they will show no mercy." His men march off and as they reach the mouth of the mine the ambush is sprung. After fierce fighting the majortiy of his forces have been defeated but at the cost of 2 of your squads. You have managed to take Malka alive. You have manage to recover 1 technical (poor). You have gained loot which can be sold for $2000, converted into 10SU or be saved for a discount on your next 4 units. The Corporation is grateful and PMCs from Greenmountain Solutions have reoccupied the mine and work has continued. +$10000. Good weapons and training are now available.

rolled 5 = 5

>>15668582
How much of a discount will we get?

Also, new purchases:
Ammunition mill $-1000
Upgrade ranches $-500
Upgrade battletaxi to Average technical $-2000

I want to buy more squads, but I need to know what the discount is before purchasing.

rolled 7 = 7

>>15668582
Smile at the captain, "yes, i'd be a fool to ruin such a lucritive business opportunity. Soldier, inform the Company that they can have their mine back. Maybe your general will send another force to retake the mine, and I can make the man the same deal, with the same fate."

>>15668582

Alright let's check out how the Imam is doing, and why not make him a name character?

Then we should check out the other tribes that just moved in, size, religion, etc.

>>15668495
To clarify you made money from your farms and ranches. Yes you did buy another average infantry squad, yes you did get them trained. I think you forgot that one squad was left with the Imam. You also lost 2 squads in the attack.
The question is what do you do with Malka?
Money
How do you distribute loot?
What do you do about the new tribes?
Money $11050
SU: 1 left
1 squad Average+ 1 technical(average) 1 technical(poor)

>>15668637

Check on the Imam, send someone to the new tribes check their religion, numbers, and how well armed they are.

Also I vote we make the Imam a named character.

rolled 8 = 8

>>15668637
I asked about the money because the payments versus income didn't match up.
Ended turn 1 with having upgraded farms and bought claymores, had $1050 left.
Then we bought 5SU, and had $1050 left. But the stated income is $700.
Where did the extra $300 come from?

rolled 7 = 7

>>15668637
lets upgrade some shit. get the industry happening. maybe upgrade the docks. or get some more infrastructure going in town

>>15668683

If the Imam is doing well converting the remains of the Jajub then we should build a mosque there, dig them a well maybe.

We need to build up religious zeal for the jihad!

rolled 9 = 9

>>15668698
good sir i second that

>>15668628
Alright his name is Adbul Mohammed and by now he has converted 50% of the Jajub tribe to the faith. He seems to be a lot more talented than you gave hime credit for...
>>15668613
You get a 50% discount.
>>15668656
It would cost you $1200 to upgrade and $1800 for new. Good equipment is pricy but worth the money.
>>15668645
Technically he is part of the law so no crimes or bounties. Your not sure if a ransom would work. General Wazda is not very keen on failure...

>>15668698
Keep in mind how much it costs to actually field those units.
It costs $2400 to field our force for just one turn.

>>15668637
Send the Imam and a small Military delegation to the new tribes, even if they arent Muslims offering them sanctuary/employment couldnt hurt things.

What/who do we have in the way of diplomats? they would certainly help out in the future in situations such as this.

rolled 7 = 7

>>15668718
Okay, here's my budget:
Ammunition mill $-1000
Upgrade ranches $-500
Upgrade battletaxi to Average technical $-2000
Upgrade Average+ infantry to Good+ $-1200
Recruit 2 Average infantry $-600 (50% discount on $600 price tag)
Dig better well $-?

or how about getting up some alliances. build some shit in other towns. get that ball rolling

>>15668755
We already have a mosque.
Read the thread.

>>15668771
If we expand out to other towns perhaps we could offer them protection in exchange for a small amount of men/resources.

>>15668779

Building a mosque is 500$

We could build one for the Danub, and the Jajub.

rolled 12 = 12

>>15668784
No, if we use the discount on buying Good infantry, that's even better, since 50% off of 4 Good units is worth $3600.

Changing the line in >>15668770
from buying 2 Average infantry to buying 4 Good Infantry for $3600 using the 50% discount.

I say talk to the refuge tribes, try to build good relations.

Expand the Farms/ranches.

Us the 50% discounts on some good quality troops. Turning the Average+ guys into Good+ Would be kickass.

>>15668814

Would help their conversion and like of us. Which will in turn help the integration.

Lets improve the docks. Could we perhaps get a boat?

We already have a mosque for ourselves.

I wonder what exactly is Malka's "good life". We could use someone with government contacts, but I wonder if handling the brothels and possibly a brand new fight ring for bets would suit his view of "good life".

What IS a good Technical?

Most modern armies don't really use them. Unless it's an APC or something.

>>15668849

Why let him handle it?

Kill him or ransom him. It's probably better he leaves the country or dies don't want people to find out about the double cross.

>>15668848
We don't have to field a lot of them in any given battle.
What this gives us is the ability to field them as Average if necessary, but as Good when we have the money.

>>15668837
Can the discount be used for upgrades?
I thought it only applied to the purchase of new units.

Once Adbul is finished with the conversion he could train us it would be helpful to have that religious knowledge. Or get him to train more Imams from our tribe and attach one to ever squad of soldiers we have.

rolled 13 = 13

>>15668770
do that. im up for killing the leader. so no-one finds out about the backstabbery

>>15668849
The money he makes from bribery and extortion lets him live comfortably.
>>15668770
You convert the loot into a discount and purchase 4 infantry squads (good). You have bought an ammo press and upgraded the ranches.You have upgraded your average+ infantry to good+ and bought 4 squads(good) and upgraded the battle taxi.
>>15668836
Yes you can buy a patrol boat for the same price as a technical.
>>15668771
You can build basic defenses for $500, fortifications for $1000, a fortress for $5000, and a citadel for $10000. The last 2 might draw attention.

Wait these troops are coming from our own tribe yes? How large is one squad?

Where'd that $1000 go? To improve the well?

PMCs use them. Most of the price of the technical is the gun anyway.
>>15668943
Approx 4-6 men.
>>15668919
Only on new units.

You have sent your scouts to investigate the new tribes. In the northeast is the Kadjek tribe who have been forced out by the government forces in the neighboring country. They are mostly Muslim, and have approx 400 members. They are looking for new land to settle on and are starving but heavily armed. They have a hungry eye on the land of the Danub.
The other tribe in the southeast is the Tekili tribe. A bunch of savages even by your standards, they are looking to raid the settlements and the Danub for food and supplies to continue their war in the east. They have stayed away from the military base. They also are skull takers and make great use of child soldiers, a low that even Wazda has not sunk too(although not out of any moral objections). How do you wish to respond?

rolled 19 = 19

>>15669007
get some basic defenses.
build mosques at the near by villages if they allow us to. and infrastructure

>>15669007
Yes.

>>15669029

We should stomp the Tekii. We don't want raiders.

Perhaps we can expand the farms a decent bit more and get at least some of the Kadjek to join us. They have gun and don't have food. We have both.

>>15669036

Is morale any better with the new well and more food?

rolled 2 = 2

>>15669029
Build basic defenses here in our town.
Send an emissary to the Danub, that as fellow muslims, we should try to help the Kadjek relocate, before it comes to fighting.
The Tekili, though, are savages and heathens, and we are willing to provide aid to the Danub if they are attacked.
Perhaps pay for half of building a basic defense around their town ($250)?

Spare the child soldiers, might get us some good will with the west.

We'll spare those we can but if they have an AK and are firing, we can't risk lives.

>>15669111

We won't spare a single adult male with a gun. They are savages better dead than alive.

Children can be guided, they are set on their path.

Also, we totally should get the foreign teacher. Or at the very least, a local one, though I would prefer the foreigner.

>>15667970

Maybe we should hire a teacher, so our people would have some education. Hell even that 100€ teacher is sufficient, if it means our villagers would even learn to write and read.

>>15669145

Just use an Imam, Islamic people are supposed to be literate right? So they can read from Quran

also get some boat action going. see if the mine needs any work done for money and or for relations. and get those other towns in on the relation building scheme of ours.

>>15669157

but don't we have only one? One that is busy converting that other tribe and doing all thhat religious jobs? I doube he has much time unless we hire other Imam

>>15669207

Get him to train others once he is finished, and possibly us to.

Lol attach a few to the squads for some religious zeal/40k

>>15669157
he's a village Iman
Chances are he can't read or write either and has probably just memorised the Koran and whatever Hadiths he feels like.
If you let him start a Madras [Islamic school] he'll teach them to the best of his ability but not as well as even a basic secular education.
Also a good chance of setting your children up to be exploited by the arabs.

>>15669219

I think we should wait on OP for his word on this.

Kill Malka now. Best way is to take him to the village square and, after a rousing speech to our fellow tribesman, hang him until he is dead, dead, dead.

No, his death must be discrete and quiet.

rolled 7 = 7

Conceivably, we could get a quality Saudi-funded Wahabi Imam. Although they would probably frown upon the brothel.
Best way forward is to get a graduate of the national university to teach the kids. With the high unemployment created by General Wazda's regime, we can get an overqualified man to teach the kids.
Also, we should look into getting ourselves a radio station to send out anti-Wazda propaganda and mobilize the surrounding villages. Shortwave is cheap and effective.

rolled 7 = 7

What is with the sudden proliferation of people advocating a Primitive school?
We've always been aiming for an Average school, and a Poor one at worst. A Primitive one was never on the table.

>>15669399

Actually I think it depends on how well educated our Imam is or any other one we might find.

Primitive I think is a wrong category. Poor at worst average at best.

>>15669399
people don't want to spend funds on education. Anyway our current uneducated state will come to bite us on our asses in the future if we don't do something.

Don't the Pakistanis have really, really good religious schools?

We can go for that.

We should grow some hemp for assorted industrial purposes(cloth and paper come to mind), and we could have some pot fields elsewhere. Depending on how the plants turn out, we could get a mention in something akin to High Times.

A radio station would cost $3000.
>>15669069
The Kadjek are a large tribe and would need a lot of food and space. They are willing to share land with you for the time being but only as a temporary solution. In game terms you will earn no money from your farms and ranches as the produce is going to them. You will take a hit to happiness but you will gain a substantial amount of military forces at your disposal. The Danub are not willing to take them.
>>15669332

The Danub want a promise of soldiers to help them fight the Tekili.
What do you want to do?

I say we take a page out of the Hamas playbook and push for the best school we can afford. The one thing that the locals have lacked are proper infrastructure and institutions - roads, water, sewers, medicine and schools - shit that the government should be doing. If we fill the vacuum and provide these things to the people, the entire countryside will eventually shift their loyalties to us.

But I won't argue.

>>15669448
Yes and no. The ones that are funded by the Wahabists/Saudi government are good at teaching Arabic and Urdu, but are terrible at teaching math and the sciences. There are some older madrassas that give a well rounded education, but have next to no funding now and are on the wane.
The problem with bringing Wahabis is is that they will Talibanize the area. You'll lose your ability to profit off of (local) vice - the brothel and the stills. You could get away with growing narcotics, though. Also, with Talibanization comes the loss of female labor - they'll be stuck in their homes and you'll never be able to extract proper economic value from them.

What if we conquered the Tekili and gave the other tribe the land would they be satisfied?

rolled 8 = 8

>>15669456
Look for where the Kadjek could settle, perhaps further north past the mine.
Ask if the Kadjek would be willing to aid us against the Tekili.

Speak with the Danub about the Tekili threat, we promise to send them soldiers to use against the Tekili if they want to coordinate an attack.

Talk with the Jujub about possible integration, and a pooling of our resources. If we can get the income from their lumber, we might be able to afford a teacher.
I'm voting NO to using the Imam to run our school.

>>15669543
The Tekili do not have much land to begin with. They are just raiders. But what they have will satisfy the Kadjek for now...
>>15669421
You can do this at a cost of $600 to start for $200 a month profit.
>>15669514
Sorry must type faster next time. In anycase no one except people in your tribe knows.
>>15669399
In this case a primitive education means no education.

>>15669555
So by letting the imam do it, we'd essentially be throwing $100 a month away?
Since in the last thread you said that having the imam teach would be Primitive schooling.

>>15669602

Alright what if we hired a average teacher, and had the Imam teach religious classes along with it?

How long would it take for the Imam train more Imam's?

Say use one man from every squad and train him. And put him back in the squads for a 40k/lol feel?

i have to agree as much asi would like to lead a jihad. it isnt sensible as all those western contracts would go else where... the question is do we want to spend the money for a imported teacher?

>>15669422
You've just described Al-Shabaab, the Islamist force that has taken over large swaths of Somalia. They've been very successful, but have ended up on every terrorist watch list known to man and have had their assets frozen. No Western multinational will work with them.

>>15669635

We don't need the western world. We just need to get some teachers from the Muslim world.

>>15669617
Imams in the schools only make sense if we can get Saudi money and support out of it - again, this is the al-Shabaab route.

>>15669555
God dammit
If we must spend at laest 300€ on education, so our folk get basic education then so be it.

>>15669602
Yeah, no.
We're not going to be just another tin-pot dictator or stereotypical African warlord.
We're here to actually make something of ourselves and our nation. Not like those idiots down in Mozambique who let their country fall apart because they kicked all the people who knew how to work their infrastructure out of the country before learning how to do it themselves.

>>15669664

Training to become a full Imam is beyond the scope of this RP. But training a chaplin(i'm borrowing the term) is certainly possible. It will increase the cost but improve their fighting prowess.

The consensus seems to be Local teacher, build mosques, start khat production, attack Tekili and give their lands to the Kadjek.

>>15669555
Talk with the leaders of the Danub, Kadjek, and Jajub to plan a coordinated attack on the Tekili and to take the land for the Kadjek.
The Kadjek get land, the Danub have raiders wiped out, and us and the Jajub don't have to worry about the Kadjek needing our land.
Everybody except those Tekili fuckers wins!

Then we get a foreign teacher (maybe not American this time) and spend the money to grow some Khat, with the stipulation that people should only use it in moderation.

But Caliphate doesn't get that World Bank or USAid scrilla.

Also, buy 7SU $-1400 in order to allow us to deploy some of our Good infrantry and the technical.

You have bought Basic defenses for your village and built a Mosque for the Jajub. The Danub have their own mosque already.
You have cleared some brush and begun khat production.
You have hired a local teacher from the city of Wazda.
Money: 2750-500(mosque)-500(defenses)-600(khat)+200(farms)+500(ranch)+200(brothel) = 2050

Get our tribe and the, Kadjek and Danub to agree on getting rid of the raiders. We provide guns and some supply mostly.
I believe our few good men could be used in

Two:
When Wazda's forces attack the mine, we could get something out of raiding them, by surprise or nightfall. Gather intel on what exactly is being sent to the mine and if the PMCs can get rid of tanks and helicopters.

rolled 10 = 10

>>15670078
Alone the PMC's are unlikely to make it. But what if they received our help?
Like, do they have actual LAWs and access to Stingers?
And let's see if we can't get some intel on just how big a force is being sent out here, and an ETA.
Maybe this could be another chance to get paid by Harrier/Schultz.

Remember to put this on sup tg.

>>15670195
LAWs yes. Stingers not so much.
The mercs are evacuating and trashing all of the mining equipment. The actual mine workers are sitting ducks however.

You dont have enough supplies to send your whole army to fight the Tekili. What do you want the composition of your forces to be?

>>15670334
Hmm, can we smuggle the mine workers out?

rolled 4 = 4

>>15670334
Send 1 Average technical and 1 Good+ Infantry, if the other tribes will help by sending their own infantry as well.
If they won't attack with us, then we hold off on attacking until we can get attack with more forces.

Are the PMC's going to evacuate the workers? Or just leave them?
I would prefer to try to help the worker evacuate and either hide or leave the country.
When we take the mine for ourselves, we'll need experienced workers to mine for us.

The combined forces of the Orkeei, Jajub, Danub, and Kadjek tribes meet at the small settlement of Wajad to plan the offensive against the Tekili. A few eyebrows were raised when they saw the small size of your force but were placated when you told them that they were a cadre of your best fighters. By dawn the army was on the march to intercept a Tekili raiding party before it entered Danub territory. The Tekili piled out of their transports, men and children alike each carrying a kalashnikov and festooned with a bandolier of human skulls. Some of the children carried so many skulls that they could barely walk rather than waddle. It would have been funny if it wasn't so sad. They proved to be hardened fighters and even though you out numbered them they did not give ground. Out of nowhere a fleet of technicals came screaming on to your left flank led by a T-55 tank. The tide quickly turned and only a fanatical insane defence by the Jajub prevented it from becoming a total rout.
You have lost both the technical and the squad you sent.
The Jajub forces have been annihilated.
Danub and Kadrek forces have taken heavy casualties.

WHAT?!

Where the Hell did they get a TANK?!

As for the miners, if they can flee to their settlement, then out of the country, they can do that.

But now, we need to find out where the Tekili got those technicals and tank from.

>>15671277
It's a trap!

I have to be honest: while it may be true to life, if victory and defeat can be so unprecedented there seems little incentive to work at anything.

We should never have sent only one squad anyway, but I suppose it resulted in lower losses by luck.

You didn't have any AT weapons? What is wrong with you, every fourth person in Africa has an RPG.

>>15671414
No, we had RPG's.
Average and above have RPG's or rocket launchers of some kind.
But when there's a tank and a group of technicals charging down at you, you can't be assured of a mission-kill.

rolled 14 = 14

>>15671161
We need to steal that T-55 somehow.

We sorely underestimated the Tekili. This time, send more scouts and get an accurate number of them and what weapons they have.

OP, you still around?

>>15671277
See:
>>15669029
They are raiders but they still have a significant prescence to the east. You are fighting a splinter group.
>>15671451
Keep in mind they have rpgs as well.
>>15671294
I feel I need to explain something. While you where on average better equipped they outnumbered you and had more vehicles. When I decide how these events unfold I create a modifier based on how you have prepared for this and the circumstances. Then I roll a dice to see how things went. In this case they outnumbered you, you didn't send very many troops, and you didn't have a solid plan so your modifier was a negative 4 and you rolled a 7 on a D20. Comparativly you rolled an 18 +2 on the Jajub attack and a 15 + 3 on the mine assualt.

What is your responce to your defeat.

rolled 3 = 3

>>15672130
Our response to defeat is to fortify our position and get better intel concerning the movements, forces, and equipment of the Tekili.

The Tekili are a threat that MUST be wiped out. If we let them fester here, they will whittle us down with their superior firepower and numbers.

We should also consider trying to get the Wazda military to get into a fight with the Tekili.
After all, if the Tekili loot everything, then there's nothing for Wazda to tax. He might not care about the people, but he cares deeply about his money.

I feel that this is a good place to stop for today.
We will pick up again at noon tommorow.
I've you have any comments or criticism don't be afraid to tell me.
