THE DRPOC GOES BACK TO WAR

On Friday the 10th of May at 11:45am, War was once again declared on Tablestan. This time however is was by a self-elected ruler of the UTSR (United Tables of Solicialist Republics).
However, the rest of the UTSR did not support this and instead allied with Tablestan to destroy this Tyrant. Less than ten minutes after his declaration he was splattered with paint and dirty water.
Later at 12:27pm, the high Priest learnt of this and entered the war on the side of Tablestan.
The DPROC also tried to covince Spiderstan to enter the war on our side but they declined, having no way to attack the USTR rebels.
This is the third declaration of war our nation has made this year and hopefully the last. We shall win this war however, as we have more allies, more combat experience, better military organisation and The Child watching over us just to name a few.
This is another war I am confident of winning. More updates on this conflict will appear soon.

TABLESTAN'S UNEASY PEACE

I'm sorry that this is so late-notice, but I must inform you that nearly a month ago, on Wednesday the 10th of April I lost my position as king of Tablestan apon the formation of the new Tablestani Republic.
This is because during the Civil War, I promised that if I won power would be given back to the people and democracy restored.
Even though I lost the war, public pressure caused Jack Madden to abdicate, ending the conflict and restoring an uneasy peace to Tablestan.
Also, on the 3rd of April, Greer McCarthy of Rose kingdom withdrew her declaration of war - effectively ending the conflict before it started and handing victory to the DPROC.
Once again the DPROC has struggled through another period of conflict, but with The Child watching over us we could never be defeated!
I am honoured to present this joyous news to you today!

THE DPROC DECLARES WAR ON THE TABLESTANI REBELS

This war seems like it may just be the largest our nation has fought in yet, as we have just declared war on the Tablestani rebel, ex-monarch and murderer of erasers: Jack Madden.
Through multiple court trials, debates and cunning political maneuvers I succeeded in leading a revolution against the current king of Tablestan - Jack Madden I. After this coup I crowned myself King of the Tablestani Empire and made it a puppet state of the DPROC.
Shortly after my coronation, on Monday the 1st of April, Madden declared war, triggering a civil war between the two halves of Tablestan.
Apon hearing of this declaration, Spider Lord Ciaran of Spiderstan openly pledged his support for the DPROC, saying that if we needed support Spiderstan would willingly assist the DPROC in this war.
Today the DPROC has gained another enemy, and a possible ally to help in this crisis.

WAR DECLARED ON THE DPROC

For the second time in two years, Greer McCarthy, queen of Rose Kingdom, former leader of the Child Opposers,  has declared war on our nation with the aim to destroy The Child.
War was declared at 8:30pm on Tuesday the 26th of March, and the RCDF is already being mobilised for war. If this war is anything like the one in 2017, the RCAF will play a major part.
This is a conflict that I hope will be resolved as quickly and as painlessly as posible. From now on, until this conflict ends, the DPROC is at war with Rose Kingdom.

New assets added to the DPROC'S 1:72 scale army

Recently a new series of military vehicles were designed for the RCA. These include a supply truck, a troop carrier, an armoured car and a staff car.
More details will be coming as well as the chance to purchase them.

The finished uniform of the RCA

Finished at last, here are pictures of the new grenadier uniforms on the commander in chief:

All other branches have the same design but the colour of the plume and rank slides vary.
As shown here the uniform has a largely simple and conventional design so that all members of our army can be quickly and easily equipped.

New plans for the expedition of Ailheive

It is with great joy that I announce that the previously postponed Ailheive Expedition is going to be carried out some time next term after renovations on DPROC territory have finished. It was these renovations that postponed the expedition in the first place, but now that they are close to completion we are making plans for the exploration and documentation of the tunnels.
Our exploits will be caught on film and put on this blog provided we come out of Ailheive alive. We will also map the tunnels and (?) catch an eel.
The exact date will be put on this blog as soon as it has been decided.

DPROC War Flag

Recently a new war flag was designed for the RCA. It's colours are black, white and blue. The black representing the dark times that we will have to fight through in war.

The new war flag

Fortunately this flag has not yet been flown above the DPROC, and I hope it won't be for a long time.

Some updates to the uniform

It has been decided that the uniform described in the previous blog post will be the standard uniform for line infantry, light infantry and grenadiers. With several differences to tell them apart.
The plume colours on the top of the bicorn will be:
Red & white for line infantry
Gold for grenadiers
Blue for light infantry
Green for Militia
Purple for Reserve infantry
It has also been  decided in the name of easy manufacture that the bicorns will be made from sheets of newspaper in a standard paper hat design.
The overall colours of the uniform are yet to be decided, the main ideas being dark blue, grey-blue, grey or dark green.

Uniform Designed For The RCA

Recently a uniform was designed for soldiers and Militiamen of the RCA. The uniform has a simple design consisting of a bicorn, long-sleeve shirt and pants. The Grenadiers will be armed with catapults firing stones while the regulars are armed with firearms.
Pictures of the finished uniforms will be posted on this blog.

17 French Hussars have joined the RCA making a total of 639 wargaming troops!

The Childerian PAIV Brigade

The Childerian PAIV Brigade is a special branch of the army consisting of Prussian Anti Infantry Vehicles(PAIVs). PAIVs were designed by me(Jakob Morris)as a solution to Thomas I's formidable 1:72 French army. It was rushed into service and racked up multiple victories over the French, and for a while it was the most powerful weapon to be fielded in any quantity for either army.
However, confidence in the PAIV was shaken after  one was unable to respond efficiently to a flanking attack. They were placed in storage and lay there collecting dust for months.
Then they were brought back into service for a brief period but found themselves outclassed by the BAIV(British Anti Infantry Vehicle).
Placed in storage once more, it was not until I decided to incorporate them into the RCA that they found a use supporting the infantry.
