Day 1 - Preparation
This was - oh - not so long ago, an era rarely taught about in history book. Back then, the world was not divided in small countries and large countries - oh no. It was divided in 100 countries each of perfectly similar size, each of them with exactly 4 cities, plus a bunch of countries that were smaller. For instance, India was divided in 3 medium-sized countries : South India, North India and British Odesha - and a bunch of smaller countries
Those 100 countries had leaders with funny names, for instance "Shah Nightmare King of Iran" or "Governor -- Donomite -- of Belgian Congo", though the smaller countries had leaders with normal names.
Each of those 100 countries had fairly similar armies : 15 divisions of infantry, 2 divisions of armored cars, 2 divisions of AA and 1 fighter wing. Given the lack of capacity of the fighter wings, the existence of 2 divisions of AA by country did not make much sense, but such was the time.
It was in this World that Daila Lama Chimere of Tibet decided he would unite the world so resources would stop to be invested in weapons.
The Daila Lama had an immediate disappointment : one of his division of armored cars ["AC"] had been misplaced so unlike everyone else he would have only one
[it looks like a minor bug, it is the fist time I have only 1 AC in the 100 players map]. Not that armored cars would do any good in the mountaineous tibet.
The Daila Lama immediately launched research : infantry and militia first, then artillery and armored cars. Si
vis pacem, para bellum.
The Daila Lama had a belated second disappointment : the natural resources of Tibet were not optimal : there was only
- one province (Chetang) producing a bit of oil (some countries have 2),
- two provinces producing food, one with double production - some countries produced more, and none less,
- two provinces (Lashung, Shigatze) producing rare materials (a bit better than average since some countries have only one)
- three provinces producing supplies, one with double production like almost all other counties,
- four provinces producing steels, better than average but they would be extremely expensive to develop,
The Daila Lama decided to sell a lot of the reserves of his country to buy rare resources, necessary to build industrial capacity in Chetang and Lashung
As for the sizeable force, the Daila Lama decided to concentrate them on the border of North India, as scouts had seen that North India had started marching toward Kashmir - a tiny neighbour whose leader did not have a funny name.
