Leased submarines to be returned the EE. The KDF Navy has suffered a major setback with it's submarine force due to the ongoing conflict between the ROD and EE (Evil Empire, run by the ROD as an opposition Country). Karmanaskis had signed a contract to lease two nuclear submarines for the next 8 years from the EE, we had planned to build several of the type. However with the EE missile attacks on the ROD mainland and the sinking of civilian shipping by the EE, the contracts are now null and void. The two leased subs will be returned to the EE but not while the conflict is ongoing. Trade and diplomacy with the EE will continue but there is now no cooperation on military matters. This is seen as major problem for the Navy. Plan B is now underway but it is now clear that the KDF will not deploy a nuclear powered sub. A new much larger AIP class is most likely. One prototype of a new design was built two years ago as a technology demonstrator. A Government announcement is ex...

Welcome to the home of the Karmanaskis blog.  A fictitious Imagi-Nation that was, inspired and encouraged by discussions, rantings and ramblings on the forum of the GHQ website. It is intended to be a peaceful and prosperous Nation that never sees a war game table. War being the physical proof of failed diplomacy, foreign policy and leadership. Here I can play armchair General and build the defence forces the way I want with an eclectic mix of equipment and organisation.  Karmanaskis is a peaceful Nation on the Pacific coast, North of RPNW and South of New Canada. An independent nonaligned Country that will always be run in a defensive chill manner. Karma today. The Army is conducting winter training in the mountains around the Columbia Icefield. This area is just South of our border with New Canada to the North. The Northland Regiment is responsible for operations in the region and is equipped for the terrain.  Units will be added to the KDF tab over the following w...

DIY shipyard

Image
For some reason I spent more time worrying about how to build a shipyard than building new Frigates for the Karma Navy! I had for a long time a simple 18"x 24" hardboard painted up blue with a simple port to act as a home for the KDF. Grandiose plans for a architectural masterpiece never came to pass and it sat away for years. So I put a self imposed timeline on a new shipyard in one corner 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" and the FSC (Future Surface Combatant) program was born. A new modern ship for the KDF and a kick start on the old port. The land base is a bit of left over peel and stick vinyl flooring. Cut easy to shape, painted with cheap hobby store paint and stuck down, Base colour around the edge was for roadways and covered with thin cut strips of tape. Then over painted for grass or concrete. There idea for the design is steel in, ships out. This comes from the Australian Osborne Shipyard. Replace Oz with Karma   Next came some small buildings, most I had on hand but som...
