Description
Dark explained what Unit 731 soldiers pack so here we go on Canada.As we all know (I hope at least!), Red Skies is an alternate universe. Hence, after Canada accepted the Avro Arrow in the 1950's, they didn't turn back. The Canada of Red Skies has a military that strives to maintain a post WW2 super power status a lot harder then it does in reality. Hence, not only is the military structure different, but the Canadian military has kept closer to the US. Not that they are on par by the beginning on the NA War, but Canada is close enough. And, to make up for its weakness's, the Canadian Military trains at an equal level to the US Army Ranger.
The soldiers here are carrying some standard Canadian weaponry. C-15MBR, C8A1 and C-14 Timberwolf. Also here is the MWMIK Jackal (Emwimmick)
The Armor pictured here is the COFW armor that Canada used through the NA War and even long after WW3 20 years later. Unlike most post Second Gulf War and Afghanistan War designs, this armor is made for North America and Eastern Europe. It features a sweater, that insulates in cold weather and cools in hot weather that is also known as liquid armor. This first layer of protection saves you from most rounds (7.62mm and weaker). Over this armor is the hard armor similar to Scorpion and Dragon Skin armor. All of this is surrounded by a light Kevlar plate. The armor covers a soldiers center of mass (ribcage area) and then additional armor is added later when ever the soldier feels that the basic along with the "sweater" isn't enough.
The AWE Helmet: The AWE Helmet was designed by the same company that makes "Screens". It is really a SPECTRA base but made from a better material. This allows soldiers to be shot by some small arms in the head and only suffer a concussion. What really makes this helmet special is the basic attachments the builder provides. The helmet has a virtual target designation (the largest pictured soldier is using this) that can mark targets up to 2 kilometers away. This data links with the goggles that work similar to screens. All friendly units, whether they be tanks, jets or other soldiers, can see the red cross-hair on the enemy position. The goggles can also be attached with a computer on the rifle that makes an HUD similar to video games.
Light Armor: The light version (smaller and above) is similar to the Assault Version but with some small differences. For starters, some of the electronic package is missing and the Kevlar plate is missing. The light armor is made to carry two primary's (ie. a Sniper and a Rifle) along with a side arm. It also has a built in Bluetooth head set that connects with the radio. P.S. Yes this soldier happens to be a women but that's because I'm shallow. Still, I originally designed it with a male underneath. This armor is usually used by JTF2 and snipers.
Assault Armor: The Assault armor is the full package. Along with what the light armor has, this has equipment like battlefield computers, compass upgrades for the helmet HUD, a total round counter based on remaining magazines just to name a few. Soldiers often go with all the extra armor as well. Of course, unlike some American Units, this armor does not increase a soldiers physical output. Notable difference from the light variant, this is not made to carry two primary's.
woof, that was a lot!

But an empire is ruled by either an Emperor or an oligarchy... and has control over multiple states. I don't think Canada meets that part of the criteria

It is a constitutional monarchy with a state that functions separately from the Emperor, that is the head of state but also the Prime minister is the more functional head of state. Not to mention that the First nations who Join the Empire officially under the second Imperial Treaties in 2025 were listed as sovereign states incorperated into the Empire.
Not to mention if the Central African Empire (Wiki it) existed then I think Canada has a fair shot at being an empire.

WOO, CANADA! I love Canada. We Canadians are so underappreciated. (Yeah, I'm Canadian; I live in the U.S. but my parents are from Canada, and American/Canadian is one of the few dual citizenships recognized by the states.)
In the War of 1812, the Canadians were attacked and proceeded to fight all the way to Washington and burn the White House. On D-Day, Canadian forces penetrated deeper into German territory than either the British or American forces.
Also, Cadia is Canada.

No offense canada didn't land on omah beach where the germans were the most entreched and it was Canada that failed to trap the german army in france. As for the war of 1812 may be you shouldn't have held our ships and sailors hostage, also you failed to burn much of anything to the ground.

Yep, 50 Canadians also held a hill for a week against 500 Chinese in Korea, we saved the American prisoners during the Iranian revolution, Canadians were also the first people to fight in Operation Desert Storm. We are the best guys to have on your side
Of course, I must say 1812, we sort of just came up in boats and the guys guarding Washington were untrained Militia who ran after the first volley. Not exactly our hardest fight
Cool, you have so many characters...

Ah one instant what the Apahce they shot up? also you don'tseem to know to much about the gear the BBC questions the Jackal as being to light for patrol and MRAP duty also the LAV3 has less armor protection than the stryker thanks to composite materials that all LAV3s have and will not be given.

Ravajava In reply to DarkProxy [2011-07-11 20:46:19 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I know the Jackal has been questioned onn how much of an improvement it is on the HMMWV special forces variant, which is pretty bad as well. But our infantry patrol vehicles is the Mercedes G-Wagon and the mine protected vehicles are the Coyote, Dingo and Cougar. But I've literally heard Canadian soldiers say that the Lav-3's aren't that well protected, luckily they are gone by RS.
Anyhow, this is a link of all the vehicles that were, are, and will be/could be in service by the 2020's in the CF. [link]

Yeah the LSVR is a shadow that was canceled the GCV s nothing but a Mardar1A2 and the MATV is already in US service. In all the LAV3 I have is basically and LAVH with a turret on it. As for the LAV3 landcom plans on using it well into the 2030s if not longer depending on upgrades

Well, I have 2025 as the year it stops being used in front line service. It acts as a "gate guarding" and convoy guard in the NA War, but VBCI's are the ones fighting on the front along with CV90's.

The Boxer MARVs I will post the UEA Canadian mod soon are the front line fighters with CV90s or AIFVs the LAV3 is like a private vehicle really Colonel Roe has one drive her arround her captured cities as sporting rifles and AK rounds bounce off. The main LAV3 users are occupational police forces because it is more heavily armed than the police Strykers and MATVs that they stole from the local police it makes the LAV3 a popular MP ride for driving in Seattle or Missula

I love reading stuff like this its always a heady rush reading about the worldbuilding others go into
I love reading about the details, the schematics and the concepts that others utilize for their works
always exciting stuff
I have some questions to ask: what's Scorpion armour? it sounds pretty damn badass
how much does the Assault Armour weigh? is it light enough for soldiers to remain mobile, despite the superior protection that it provides?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ravajava In reply to cpi [2011-02-28 18:54:32 +0000 UTC]
Scorpion is bunch of small shock absorbing plates that spread the damage of bullets around the armor making it very difficult to penetrate with anything below a 50 cal.
The Assault armor obviously loses some mobility. But it isn't to the point that the soldier can't do their job. It weighs around 17 ibs, the basic package is 12.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
cpi In reply to Ravajava [2011-02-28 19:49:10 +0000 UTC]
so, the Scorpion Armour is essentially impact defusing armour? pretty badass any ideas on what those plates are made of? stuff like buckysheets, or iron sulphide foam plates or alumnium foam plates? the concept is very awesome
I can imagine that it would be a lot different then how the DragonSkin system is set up. Also, how does it handle specialist ammunition?
and the Assault Armour doesn't sound heavy at all. that's also pretty badass weight wise, it sounds idea
I like it

Ravajava In reply to cpi [2011-03-01 15:10:32 +0000 UTC]
Hmm... I always said Scorpion was made out of ceramic plates, but I haven't been too worried about it, more focusing on the COFW. Second, on specialist ammunition, is that referring to full metal jackets? Or am I totally on the wrong track?

cpi In reply to Ravajava [2011-03-01 19:24:23 +0000 UTC]
that's fine. just wondering as for specialist ammunition, I'm talking about things like HEAP(High-Explosive Armour Piercing), HEAT(High-Explosive Anti-Tank), HEI/AP(High-Explosive Incendiary, Armour-Piercing), SLAP(Saboted Light Armour Penetrator), APFSDS(Armour-Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot), Jacketed Hollow Point, Jacketed Hollow Cavity, HE/DP(High Explosive, Dual Purpose), HESH(High-Explosive Squash Head), HEAB(High-Explosive Airburst),etc. those are examples of specialist ammunition

Ravajava In reply to cpi [2011-03-02 14:51:23 +0000 UTC]
Well, it wouldn't stop something a tank would fire such as HESH rounds and HEAT rounds. The fact that it can stop a 7.62 is a huge jump from modern body armor which can stop a 9mm at best.

cpi In reply to Ravajava [2011-03-03 05:20:44 +0000 UTC]

I'm familiar with the rumors. there are pens designed to punch through Kevlar. they're actually supposed to be used to break people out of cars by breaking the windows and they're meant as self-defense weapons against armed assailants. a friend of mine was actually surprised when his defense instructor begin teaching him how to use those pens to stab through Kevlar. scary stuff. the Kevlar XP is the next-generation of Kevlar body armour. Without having to add plates to it, its withstood in consecutive trials; 55 shots from a variety of different ammo, without any major breaching and remaining relatively intact for further usage.

I also remember 70 Canadians holding a hill against 5000 Chinese Communist troops. Taking random events doesn't prove anything, but averages do.
Same way, the British had to fight a similar war to Vietnam is Burma and won using similar equipment to the Americans short of jets in the 1960's...
