Love your work, Ivan.
I’ve downloaded and will be using this. I also love your “War Generator” in the Brigade Commander rules.One thing I’d probably add to both is something that was suggested on one of the other forums (can’t remember which, so can’t credit it to the originator). This is that the ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ arms suppliers for your fictional country are also generated. The ‘primary’ supplier is the country that supplies most of the arms for your fictional nation / faction. The ‘secondary supplier is one that supplies some equipment, but they only supply their last-generation equipment (say 20 years prior to the current year – maybe from the surplus market?).
I’d make another random table, with the % chance of being supplied by a country being based on that country’s real-world % of supply to the world arms market. For each nation, roll twice with the first roll determining the ‘primary’ supplier, and the second roll determining the ‘secondary’ supplier. In a system like the War Generator, where other ‘alignment’ rolls may determine that a country is aligned to one bloc or another in certain periods (ie. NATO or WARPAC), then only primary suppliers from that bloc would be eligible (so for WARPAC, probably Soviet supplied, but for NATO-aligned, the supplier could be US, UK, Germany, France, etc). But a roll for a secondary supplier would still be made.
Just my opinion, but I think this would add some extra flavour to the systems. Having said that, they’re already very good!!

And glad to see Bish has made it across to TWW – he is the one that convinced me to look at 3mm thanks to his excellent blog.
Post apoc rules?!?! Oh God, I may as well cave in and add Wargames Vault to my favourites bar…
It all sounds great…. and now for a confession: I know this sounds pathetic, even from a man who plays with toy soldiers, but I sometimes roll for outcomes on the tables in Five Parsecs and Every Star an Opportunity just for the fun of it.
I roll up Traveller planets for fun
(and it should be no surprise at all, if you own Every Star an Opportunity, that I love me some Traveller ) If you owned Traveller and didn’t roll up planets, you didn’t have Traveller
I really rather enjoyed that game. Didn’t like the newer versions though.I’ll make a deal, if any of you want to roll up a nation or two and post them on your blogs, I’ll pop you a preview of the military generator. Email me if you’re interested.
Challenge accepted, and email sent

My attempt at a couple of newly generated imagi-nations is now up on my blog:

Did you tweak any rolls or just use them as written? Both worked out pretty believably, I’d say. The only tweaks were the ones mentioned (population). It seemed to work pretty well.
