OOC: The troop numbers are taken from 1919. Refer to "The King is Dead, Long Live the King" thread for original state of the army
The Lashkars are not neccesarily being fielded, however are the tribal leaders personal armies which can be activated by "calling the clans". The Mosin rifles and planes were aquired in trade deals, refer to the Military Trade and Alliances boards.
The regular army has not entirely shaken off it's lack of training, however is currently training with the help of Ottoman military advisors, and the calvary is in the process of switching out some of their horses for more fit mounts aquired in trade from Persia, once again refer to Military Trade board.

OOC: First of all, you're supposed to be starting out with your forces in 1914, the start of the war. 1919 is after the war. You still didn't really answer my question, since when did Germany give you their rifles. And Italy, and Great Britain?

OCC: The best I could find were 1919 numbers, but given there was little population or economic change in Afghanistan they should be close, though I will scale back some if that is the way you want to me to go with it. Not all of the lashkars are in the standing army, however they are trained and independtly equipped so I felt the need to list them for completeness.
As for the foreign rifles, I started out with them. Afghanistan was armed with a hodge-podge of weapons. Foreign weapons (mostly British I suspect), and not all of them proper military weapons. While I'm not a hundred percent certain, I suspect they were picked up second hand off of the open market, and included a fair number of personal weapons belonging to the infantrymen. Some troops also started with black powder weapons, captured from the British during the Second Afghan War which have been replaced by the recently purchased Mosins.

similar to the fuso class, altough not the fuso class That would go against the surrender terms. That means we are still at war and can attack Japanese troops.

The King reads over the report again. What is Persia up to? The King reviews his options, it is time to increase troop levels
The current number of Lashkars activated in the country is 20,000. That number is being doubled. Training grounds are being prepared for more regular troops. Construction of 14-inch Coastal Defense gun positions is to continue. Activated Lashkars are being moved to the network of fortified caves and secret hideaways that forms the Afghan defensive network. Workers sent over from Khamir are having their R&R time cut short so that they can begin construction of airplanes. The current aircraft are being called to duty for border patrol missions.
