Usagi Quest (CK3/Princess Maker) (Sailor Moon)

You lot are getting this all wrong. Mechanised is the past tense of mechanise(used as an adjective here), so mechanised infantry is therefore infantry that has been made mechanical.

Clearly, this therefore means that mechanised infantry is the OG kind of cyborg Kamen Riders.:V

Infantry is a biped shooting at things, so mechanized infantry is a mechanized biped shooting things. So, yes, cyborgs count, but I stand by Gundams.

But Gundams have armor. Thus are they not Armored units? In fact, the defining thing about the original Gundams are that they are armored with gundamium, that's why they are called Gundams right? At least that's what Gundam Wing taught me.

I mean, The original Armor unit was the Knight, and they were bipedal, so I think it follows that Gundams are Armor as opposed to Infantry (I mean, Armor units do have infantry inside the armor, but they don't fight outside the armor, same as with Gundams).

Hey, I did this a while back! :D

If you can think up good names/etc for Anchovy or the rest, we could make the Bella Cura team of our dreams! :lol:

Any combat skill would be nice. Since they are the closest guys we have in case we need reinforcements.

Also if we are going to storm the Dark Kingdom HQ we are going to need reinforcements in the form of the JSDF or Uncle Sam to tie down the fodder youma probably.
 
I just had an idle thought, with America revealing their cryptids, how long until some decided to visit Japan as tourists? Onogoro won't be happy at the news of "foreign youkai" entering their land though at this point its just another thing to tack on their long list of current disasters.
 
Gundams (and other Giant Mecha), or rather the general purpose mass producable versions Gundams tend to be the prototypes for, are classified as Mobile Suit Units. They get classed on their own because generally speaking one or two mobile suits are enough to be a major threat to entire divisions of regular soldiers, mechanized or otherwise, and armor divisions alike, due to their mobility over more terrains than standard mechanized armor, heavy armaments and armor, and their generally universal ability to give the Inverse Square Law the middle finger and react quickly to changing battlefield conditions.

More or less, yes, though in-setting Pilots and the standard grunt infantry are generally separate entities as far as chain of command goes due to the differences in personal kit and general lethality making pilots the universe's version of special forces units.

Warning: Gundam Nerding Out incoming.

It really depends on which Gundam continuity you're talking about. In the Universal Century timeline, the OG Gundam, it's called Gundam because it's armored with "Gundarium", a "titanium alloy" only producible in Lunar Gravity, and it goes through several iterations throughout the many, Many installments in the timeline. Gundam Wing/After Colony timeline, the alloy is called "Gundanium" as you say, and is only producible in Zero-G conditions, but is otherwise the same thing. Gundam SEED/SEED Destiny/Cosmic Era, G.U.N.D.A.M. is an acronym for the name of the Mobile Suit's Opperating System: "General Unilateral Neuro-Link Dispersive Automatic Maneuver". 00-Gundam/Anno Domini, it's because the suits' power plants are called the "Gundam Nucleus (GN) Drive", producing "GN-Particles" using baryonic decay as their power source. Iron Blooded Orphans/Post Disaster, the Gundams are called that because of the specific mobile suit frame they use, and to my knowledge why they're called that isn't really elaborated on since the Gundam Frames are from the giant war that almost destroyed human civilization in the Sol System, which also destroyed a lot of their history and knowledge of how things like the Gundam Frames (specifically the absolutely horrific method used to increase performance by jacking the pilot's nervous system into the suit's OS) were manufactured (though they have developed new MS frames by studying and reverse engineering them to varrying degrees of success). And Finally, in The Witch From Mercury/Ad Stella, they're called Gundam because of the GUND Format interfaces they use, which is a technology originally developed for medical prosthesis animation but was later weaponized, then outlawed for the negative effects its weaponization had on pilots who used it due to the massively higher strain controlling an entire MS is compared to a prostehtic arm or leg.

The guys you really have to watch out for aren't the regular soldiers of the division. It's the MP detachments you have to watch out for, because they're the ones responsible for hucking random locals away from the base perimeter without shooting their asses.

Given the limited throughput of the portal, I think we'd be better limiting our reinforcements to the various supersoldiers we're going to be picking up. Magical girls, redeemed villains, wizards, demons, Greek gods, Shinto gods, Hindu gods, our cup runneth over with gods.

Now whether or not the US will have supersoldiers worthy of inclusion in the attack by the time we get around to it is a whole other question.

Okay, I need two Stewardship checks for TsubomiQuest and the ongoing It's A Long Way To Minato mini-event.

d10 + 9 vs DC 11 for "Short Range"

and

d10 + 9 vs DC 13
AWKWARDNESS BOMB #4 HITS
d10 + 9 - 1 vs DC 13 for "Medium Range."

That was the last of the turn's Awkwardness Bombs, though, so at least you won't have to worry about that for any rolls that you may undertake at Crystal Millennium! :)
 
Critical fail confirmation?

Denied.
T-A-C threw 1 4-faced dice. Reason: Critical Failure on Mid-range Total: 2
2 2

Odd sentence structure. Perhaps try:

"And has a good force of numerous well trained destroyers and other craft."

Destroyers being ships, I doubt they can be well trained. More appropriate would be remarking about their well trained crew, I would think. But I don't know how to reword that to fit in the existing wording of the document.

Also, I agree that it's focused entirely too much on the nitty gritty JGSDF with the JMSDF and JASDF treated too much like an afterthought for a document supposedly by the CIA and DIA for presidential consumption about the state of the JSDF as a whole. If the report was retitled to give information on just the state of the JGSDF, it would probably be more fitting for that to be the focus, I would think.

You really want me to spout 5 pages worth of stuff that a website easily explains instead? cause I could go into every single ship class in the fleet and we be there all day.
The airforce I admit wasnt my greatest work but I was running out of time (and sleep)
