    Switzerland could act as "neutral" money provider or holder... we got experience with that.

    We got the "Bank for International Settlements" in my city. The central bank of all central banks. So large amounts of money transfers aren't a problem.

    How much do you need for the coup and which countrys bank reserves should we cancel

    Col. Psycho,

    You should learn more about other members here before you start with the attitude.

    Calling Ngati a chairborne commando is rich.

    i believe personally that MY plan can work, i actually take offense that someone else would insult my plan because they havent taken the time to read it and cant respect that someone else would do things differently.

    I read it. It's gibberish.

    The only negative thing i've said within this thread would be to that character who thought empty threats would affect me.

    Yes well done there sunshine- great way to introduce yourself.

    I made a valid point after that when i mentioned that maybe using ex-FFL and ex-SSL members would do well for the attack because the local EG populace spoke french and spanish. i also mentioned that ex SF from eastern european / russian militaries would be handy because they are extensively trained, and if i had to use them in MY plan, im sure it would be possible to find a few BMP IFV crewmen.

    And how are these Eastern European/Russian SF and the French and the Spanish going to communicate? Sign language? And you've got less than six months to work up their wildly differing contact drills and patrolling SOPs into a cohesive whole once you get them signing?

    Oh and yes a seaborne landing with BMPs into a country with next to zero functional light armour. How did I forget that bit?

    I am trying to partake in this thread as best i can but every time i mention something or i do something i am told nothing will work or my plan is "gibberish". Thanks for welcoming a new person to the MP.Net boards, you guys really know how to make someone feel welcome.

    Boo hoo- here's a tissue. Take a look at the earlier pages of this thread- that's called solid, constructive debate and discussion. Then read your posts. Gibberish?

    And if you feel the need to ban me for stating all of this, Chops, then clearly something isnt kosher with administration...

    I haven't actually but I have given you your first infringement for completely disregarding my warning about posting in this topic. Keep it up and you'll be a rapidly fading bad smell. Oh no, now you're on a short little break because dear Mr Flagg took exception to your wildly hilarious 'chairborne commando' comment to Ngati. Oh dear.

    ======================

    Now, i'm going to try and carry on with the topic.

    Oh hooray, more gibber from the clown prince of gibberers...

    Who exactly is the guy who goes and gets his treatment every month? if he is important enough, maybe shooting down his plane when he leaves would be possible, using black-market Stingers / Strela's. I believe that if done from a stolen fishing boat that can be destroyed afterward, we could use this as a key way of removing someone in power. If we could somehow get a hold of flight charts to find out where he flies from and what his flight plan is, maybe it would be possible.

    You might get a discount on the MANPADS when you buy all of those BMPs. Hell, they might even throw one in as a loyalty bonus. Maybe the 'black market' is like Bunnings or Homebase right? They might even do free coffee?

    Best thread ever in the history of MilitaryPhotos. Sorry, I haven't got much to offer, but I do know a bloke who is hard up for cash who knows just about everything you'd need regarding cell networks and the distrupting thererof. (Yes I am aware that this is all just pretend).

    Looking forward to seeing some of the final plans.

    Perhaps we can bring some guys in a cargo ship carrying "relief supplies"?

    The aim is not clear.

    A coup d'etat is a means to an end.

    Do we want to ahve a junta with funky marches and quasi-1930's uniforms, or do we want to get the cash out of the country? or use the nation as a jumping off point for increasing our influence in the region.

    Different tactics would be necessary for each scenario!

    I like the idea of using the "host" nation as a staging point for further operations in surrounding nations.

    What the heck does EG have to offer as far as resources to boost our strength? Diamonds, oil, etc?

    Your job is to replace the current president. How you do it is up to you.

    EG is fairly oil wealthy - unless you're not a friend of the president. Most people live on $1 a day, yet the country has the highest GNP per capita in the world, except Luxembourg.

    Host nations are liabilities.

    By host nation, I do not imply that we are simply a tick feeding off the blood of a living organism. I rather meant that once the host country has been subdued, and we basically militarilly control it (insurgency aside), we can use it as a base to "feel around" to see who's the biggest guy in the neighborhood we just moved into. Who we need to keep an eye on.

    It looks like you guys already decided what kind of ship you're gonna use 15 pages back, but I think you should get a better one.

    Instead of converting a bulk cargo ship or getting that off-shore supply ship that has its own cranes, why not just get a RoRo with a closed car deck?

    Like this: http://www.maritimesales.com/JIA4.htm

    It's 1.6 million so it costs twice as much as what it looked like you picked, but the savings in time to unload cargo could be worth it. It also has bunks for 91 passengers (I don't know if that includes bunks for the crew), so hopefully accomodations are taken care of for everyone and not so much time and money has to be spent modifying it.

    I've never been on one of these ships before, so I don't know the minimum crew, though. I might also be missing something else (like maybe it would be very suspicious that a RoRo is cruising near EG, compared to a bulk cargo ship)

    I've watched as some ships contracted by Nissan offloaded vehicles in Long Beach harbor. I think it had a ramp like what you posted, but at the stern of the ship.

    Perhaps a delivery of Nissans wouldn't look too suspicious?

    Sounds like a good idea....why not have show girls with it too?
