Irish Empire

mick.fr

I don't know what is wrong with you guys saying the French would act as pussies or will surrender immediately in the case of such a conflict would arise.

You guys seems to have a very short memory, 700 hundreds years of occupation, slavery, murders, rapes, British killing Irish with Irish silver extracted from Galway, does that ring a bell to you?

And plus frankly if France was a retarted country from a military point of view we would be aware.

I am not saying that because I am French, but really there is a clear lack of knowledge. And I am even more surprised and even scared for you because if you guys are in the Irish army, you have not a clue of the strength and weaknesses of the other army forces. And that is scary, but after all not surprising.

Keep an eye opened, read a bit, watch wisely what is going on in other army forces...

And regarding your tactic skills, hum, remember you are a tiny army, so if you want to fight against other nations, a part from the condomised actions under NATO/UN you are involved with in some areas in the world, you really should think as a small army, and what do small army forces? They don't run upfront, they start from the back, where it hurts more.

My 2 cents

Firstly, we give command of the Grand Fleet of Ireland to Admiral Bertie Ahern. His staff should include Eamon Dunphy and also Ray D'Arcy,
Then ''Bertie's Boys'' set sail north, invade Iceland. This would be undertaken by smothering their leaders with ''De Bertie Charm'' UNTIL DEATH. At which point Dunphy would criticise their military until eventually they would stand down, too ''tired and emotional'' to continue.
Then, Chief Negotiator Ray flies to Copenhagen, and sells Iceland to the Danes.
Admiral Bertie returns to a tickertape parade the size of Mozambique on O'Connell Street. At this point, Grand Warlord Willie O'Dea gets the money and invests in 6 tanks and a dog that can fetch. We then call upon the all-mighty ''Nordic Battle Group'' (with something like- ''NORDIC BATTLE GROUP, ASSEMBLE!) and invade the rest of Europe with charm, cynicism, and cold Nordic efficiency.
Et Voila. :pac:.......0......

Let's say tomorrow Ireland realized that it's only chance for survival was to establish a new Irish Empire.

What would be the best way to go about it: which countries would need to be invaded first, which resources would we need etc.

The Irish Empire

An alternative history of the Irish empire

Mahatma coat

to all thos people baggin on France

remember

they are still a NUCLEAR power

all they have to so is send up one of their little white flags attached to their rather large nuclear weapons.

realisticly we need to start off with something a bit more manageable, possibly the Isle of Man

1. Iceland has no standing army and a population less then our own. Invade and then make a pact with Denmark, agreeing to allow us to station troops in Greenland. Gradually and stealthily insert our small yet elite armed forces into Northern Canada where the Canadians cannot bring the brunt of the forces to bear and through a series of concise assaults, conduct a terrifying guerrilla war, cutting off supplies etc to the Canadian peoples. With the people demoralized, assassinate key political figures and insert our own puppet government, once they are in power, sign a treay that will end all hostilities on the condition that Canada hand over all their armoured and naval forces aswell as providing the Irish Army with pre-indoctrinated recruits. Have the details of this treaty very hazy and hard to access in terms of the Canadian populace.

2. Build on the original relations with Denmark and attempt to include Norway in a three-way alliance. With the help of Estonia, who have a conscription of men aged 18-28, we should have more then enough brute force to take over Latvia, then Estonia, who have used up much of their resources in the Latvian war. Invite Sweden into the Gael-Scandinavian Alliance, if they say no, that's alright. Proceed down the Eastern Block, giving large tracts to Russia to appease them.

3. Working with the riotous populace in Greece, arrange a coup, again with key puppet figures handing over control to us. This will make our passage through the Mediterranean that bit smoother as the southern divisions occupy Corsica, who already want freedom, grant it to them on the basis of using them as a naval base.

4. A two part invasion of France, first send in crack squads to take the nuclear factor out of play and move the warheads to the newly prepared silos in Wexford. Using the bases in Corsica and and our obvious territories in the North. Do not accept surrender and operate a scorched earth policy, taking all usable resources and consolidating/amassing them in the north and on the Spanish border (these regions will be left unscathed) Destroy Paris, our troops need a release at this stage and this is the perfect opportunity.

5. At this stage, England is surrounded, all out invasion from all sides, grant Scotland independence leaving another puppet government in place their that supports the Nationalists and suppresses the Anglican sympathisers.

At this point the Irish Empire consists of the whole island of Ireland, England, Iceland, Wales and northern France. The other conquered countries now belong to the Scandinavians, but we hold alot of sway over Greece, Canada and Scotland, basically controlling their resources.

Sorry to ressurect, I only registered to post this anyway, :L

shadowninty

if we follow my well honed civ rev strategies.. we will have conquered most of Europe and Africa in one or two milleniums, build up African cities with their plentiful resources, start building massive tank, infantry, artillery decisions, swoop across Asia while amassing a Battleship fleet and dozens of Bomber squadrons, land massive amounts in California, and a smaller (but huge) amount in Northern Chile, nuke Chicago to stop it supplying other cities, the US will desperately make a truce allowing us to focus on Canada and Latin America, rebuild the army and take the rest of the US over two weeks

Great first post Mongrell!

I say we start small. The North is the obvious first target. Just send in the tanks and claim its ours by divine right and history. Get the EU on our side in this. Maybe use a 'false flag' strategy, like the Germans did in Poland. Invent lots of anti-Catholic stings (probably wouldn't have to do much inventing tbh) and use them as the pretext for invasion on grounds of protecting our religious kindreds.

After a couple of years of consolidation and rapproachment with the UK (while also dealing quietly with the Russians for some nuclear warheads), The Isle of Man should be our next target. Manx is a very similar language to Irish, so we can also use the historical excuse here. Tactical strikes on naval and military bases on the west coast of the UK, with a lightning paratrooper landing on the IOM (similar to the German invasion of Crete/Turkish invasion of Cyprus).

Next, north to Iceland. Aim to isolate them from their Scandinavian friends through diplomacy and subterfuge, then hit them hard. A short burst of intense bombing to Reykjavik should see the island fall in next to no time.

I reckon we'd be pushing it past that :cool:

Give cumbria to scotaland.

Why?

If it's for the reason that I think you have in mind then Scotland should give England its South East portion, including Edinburgh, which was once a part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria. Edinburgh itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon "Edwinesburh" ( "Edwin's fort").

The Scots can become independent if they like, but they must give England its land back.

Get rich, lend loads of money to smaller fringe countries, then hold them to ransom, ahh crap the germans have already done that to re-establish the 4th Reich.
