VII. Doctrines

a. Mobile Infantry - Your general staff has determined that mobile infantry is the optimal force to use on the field. Using their fast pace, your infantry is optimal on the offensive and can easily surround your foe, while still retaining the defensive capabilities of infantry. - +2% casualty cap in Plains, Desert, and Snow on offence, +2% casualties dealt in Plains, Desert and Snow on defense.

b. Blitzkrieg - Your forces use fast moving armor to break through the enemy and encircle them, easily deciding the fate of the battle. - +4% casualty cap in Plains, Desert, and Snow on offence.

c. Dispersed Artillery Support - Your forces use small amounts of scattered artillery in artillery accessible regions to prevent your opponent from having full access to the front. - -2% enemy casualty cap in Plains, Marsh, Hills, Desert, Snow, and Coastal on defense.

d. Integrated Artillery Support - Your forces have determined that the best way to fight your opponent is to not fight them at all, and, instead, prefer to destroy them with long range heavy artillery support. - +2% casualty cap in Plains, Marsh, Hills, Desert, Snow and Urban on offence.

e. Grand Battleplan - Your army has adopted the military doctrine of the Grand Battleplan. Every soldier knowing exactly what to do, when to do it has proven invaluable to your forces in the field, and, while your forces may not be the absolute best in any single terrain or situation, they can work well in all with the Grand Battleplan. + 0.37% casualties dealt in all terrain on offence and defense, -0.37% casualties taken in all terrain on offence and defense

f. Mass assault - Your army, with its seemingly unlimited reserve of manpower, takes advantage of it as much as it can, no matter if it is attacking or defending. - +10% maximum fielded manpower (5,500), +10% maximum reserve manpower (55,000)

g. Cult of the offensive - Your army has, in the wake of an abundance of past offensive maneuvers, developed a belief that a strong offense is unstoppable, and that most defense is useless. The onslaught of your advancing forces is certain to smash through all defenses.

IX. Morale boosters (out of battle)

During war, warring nations will try to keep their morale up. To simulate this, a player in the war games may contact the GM, The united federation of amestris, and ask the GM to apply a specific morale booster to that player's nation. The name of the morale booster, and whether or not it is during or out of battle should be listed as well. If either is not given, the morale booster will not be applied. Morale may not go higher than 100%.

a. Increased supply - +1% morale

b. Speech - +10% morale, 10% chance of failure, in which case, -5% morale instead. A morale booster of the, "speech" type may only betaken every other round.

d. Party - +10% morale, and -2% casualty cap, +2 % casualties taken on offence and defense in all terrain for 1 round.
