We are now at 2030.

After over 2 years, from June 2012-September 2014, we have now completed the 2025-2029 turn! It was slow and painful and then it was fast and quite a rollercoaster ride. we have had some issues with forgetfulness, rule conflict, lack of communication, loss of data etc. But we made it. Thank you everyone, especially Kelvin.

Now we look ahead.

1) Check your country/countries. Make sure everything is in order. Especially where your troops are. Update your country pages. If you have any questions let me know.

2) Reread the 2025 news section and the 2030 news section so you know what is going on and that you allocate PAs etc to what needs taken care of.

3) Please contribute to NPC actions, stories, news etc.

4) Schedule for 2030 turn.

I anticipate at least 1 war. The war(s) will be handled as abstractly/easily as possible. Kelvin is hard at work on the rules making them better.

5) I am sure I am forgetting something but now we are on our way!

I would like you, the player, to briefly look over 1-2 of the NPC countries, corporations or NGOs and make up a few actions and a little story for the 2030 round.


Example 1: South Africa 2030-34
After the failure in the Zimbabwe conflict SA is The newly elected president is taking a new direction:
A) leasing out the newly built DenelSaab RSA-4 rockets SANSA Space launch capability expanding the space economic sector
B) Expanding SASOL-Eskom Coal Gasification
C) Reducing oiluse
D) Armed forces restructure (rank 4->3) and upgrade (tech mil ground to 7,8).
E) Liberate restrictive policies (Decrease Authority modifier from 27% to 26%)
F) Increase stability


Example 2: Somalia 2030-34
The German military and civilian/economic support to the government is fast stabilising Somalia and diminishing piracy. After the election in 2025 (the first since 1967) there have been a ineffective but surprisingly stable coalition of moderate Islamist party, federalists and regional parties, and pro-western parties. While terrorism and crime is high, the government has ousted the different insurgents and the many development projects are paying off. Starvation while still high, is much lower than before and on levels comparable with the other countries in the region, thanks to agricultural projects and the return to sea for the somali fishermen. Wind energy and stability is giving the economy a boost.

Mil rank 4, tech 6.0
1 bde experienced motor inf (security)
5 bde reserve armor (bought from Turkey)

Some questions:

Can we asume all the Combat Damaged units are returned to full power at the begining of th turn (off course, with the pertinent SU cost)?

I understand the comercial Space assets are for renting for whoever need them, and aside from the ones players have. Am I right on this?



I'm not sure what do you mean here: are you asking each of us to do this in 1-2 countries?

If so, will you assign us the countries to avoid mix-ups?

Probably more to come as I think more on it...
