"De Luchtkorps", is not exactly a "corps" at all. Barely numbering a hundred men/women(because of course the revolution is revolting against primitive gender norms like good little revolutionaries who gets so good at rebelling they start rebelling against the rebels. Which also means chop-chop-chop anyone who is a "enemy" of de revolutie :D) It is only called a corps because for propaganda purposes, to make the army feel bigger and better organized then it actually is. To both improve domestic moral and threaten enemy moral. But it won't stay this way forever, there are big plans to increase the number of airships to a fully fledged air-navy. Since Germany dominates on land, Britain at sea, we must find our own thing to dominate. Ballooning has been used since Napoleonic times for viewing and spying. Since the RP takes place in the late 1800's, steam power and further improvements to balloon technology could greatly improve the quality of airships from wind propelled floating robots, to flying Ironclads that strike fear into the enemy's hearts...... But none of this will ever be cannon unless I get at least 4 ppl to play in my faction, so by creating and advertising this Air corps thing(a unique thing that no one else is doing) I may appeal to potential players. But I will not just requite any hobo off the streets of scratch, I need a hobo with a somewhat passion for aeronautics and degree of understanding the engineering behind them. I am looking for someone who will design great feasible airships that'll keep us the lead of air power, since I know for a fact that I just unintentionally started an airship arms race just by sharing this project lol. However joins, will be given further resources and man power to turn this into an actual "corps" and not just a propaganda play.
Music from Up, a fitting song for the occasion. I am also looking for someone with knowledge on Calvary to command a larger Calvary korps. Since Calvary + air balloons could prove effective, since Calvary would force enemy infantry to form tighter and concentrated formations to become easy pickings for even hand-dropped bombs from basic hot air balloons. I also want to recruit a good artillery officer to be in charge of coastal batteries and field guns. And of course a few more proper infantry units since mine alone cant defend the entire lowlands without resorting to geurilla war. Just with the airships, I encourage all players of our glorious factions to be creative, be inventive of their tactics and even weapons. For example, what if someone used Da Vinci's old tank concepts were utalized? Our faction, being a rump revolutionary Republic, naturally lacks the fancy coats and training of say the Prussian Calvary and British redcoats. We may lack the power and resources of their big empires, but what we lack in size and "fanciness", we shall make up for with resourcefulness and engineering. Our Revolutie shall succeed, or fight till the bitter end for it!
