OOC: Ok, this is the North Kieales (a colony of Neo Earth) civil war. Only those that posted in the North Kieales rebellion singup thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98155&highlight=) may post here.


The sides:

Anti-Rebellion:
Neo Earth
Foe Hammer
Phalanix
Belem Kieales
Soviet Trasa
Alabama-Crimson-Tide


Pro-Democracy:
Zerni
El Hefe
Isles of Wohlstand
DNS
Xanthal
Nianacio


Please, al players, post forces. Now, unless belem says other wise, I will come up with the terrain of North Kieales.




The 23rd Legion:

Imperial Guard: 91,100
Legionairres: 70,000
Command: 2,000
Tank Crew: 7000
Tilmex Tanks: 781
Siege: 364
Predator: 207
M-5 Tank: 198


Note that these are veterans, so they should be hard to kill.

OOC: northeast Kieales is pretty much all plains with the mountains to the south. Some forests most of the forests in Kieales were heavily deforested about 20 years after I took over which would make about 30-40 years before u took over.

From the other thread:


Prolouge:
"Men and Women of the DNS armed forces; I salute you. You who have the courage to fight for man's self-evident rights. It takes more courage to give a man rights that to take them away. People like Belem, Neo Earth, and Foe Hammer are to afraid to do it, so the duty falls to us. We MUST do this, because no one else will. Some may ask why it is us who must do it, I will tell them that we must because no one else will. We must be the templars af light and justice; we will fight evil on the beaches, in the trenches and in the streets, As long as one human but lives on this planet, we will fight for freedom. Though the odds may at times seem insurmountable, the glimmer of light will always illuminate the darkness.

Soldiers of DNS, some of you may not come back. But the ones that we free will keep your names held high above the cowards who fight for tyranny.

Our collective name is Freedom, and we will never be put away, never left on the table. We will fight our way to the top, we will Not surrendure.

Good luck to all that fight with us, and may our enemies die in their sleep, because that is a far better death that what we will give them.

Men, We are FREEDOM!!"

A chant of Freedom breaks out in the collective meeting areas of the DNS forces, before they board the Transport Red Hawks that will take them to the battlefield.

Bill watches from the top of his Red Hawk where he made his speach. He is filled with a kind of elation, and a kind of sadness.

"Well... no going back now."

He enters his cockpit and bursts ahead to lead the massive air fleet.

Forces:
98,000 ground troops, with Wohlstand MKI Battle Armor(2015ish tech) and WAR-15 rilfes. 1 in 5 has anti-armor weapons.

2,000 snipers, modified armor for stealth, with AMR.( Related thread: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2245713#2245713 )

They will be brought to land by Red Hawks carrying Transport Pods. 100 troops per pod. So 100,000 troops in 1,000 pods, which land in configurations like this(see pic), with two AA laser pods in the center. 13 Transport Pods, 2 AA Pods mean ~ around 77 emplacements. 1000 Red Hawks for transport, 154 for the AA sites. Out of 2,500 Red Hawks(changed after internal calculations) that leaves 1,356 Red Hawks for immediate air support, and 2,500 after the transporters have been refuled at a nearby friendly airfield.

IC:
The forces land around the main city in northern Kieales, the Transport Pod's being left on the ground to be transformed into walls and defensive structures by the soildiers getting out of them. The snipers melt into the countryside and outskirts of the city, and the AA pods deploy, ready to shoot down incoming planes or missiles.

Add. Info:
To further explain my defenses: Each pod is a wall segment after it's been transformed. 5 computer-controlled gattling guns on each segment, along with a single anti-shell/missile laser. The armor is about a foot thick on the outsides, made of nano-tubes, and there are approximatly 30 slots for snipers/riflemen to fire through. The AA lasers are cabable of extending a tower to redirect their laser shots toward ground targets, and radio towers inside the pods can call in airsupport, encrypted.

Probably 2 reasons, 1st, and no offense because of it, but you are fairly small. 2nd we were looking for nations that could officialy field and army and who had ties to the first kieales conflict.

IC:

Saviros had dropped out of the transport early in the morning along with his special operations team. Their job was to observe enemy troop movement through the area as well as provide the tip of the spear for precision strikes against enemy command and control structures.

An hand gesture and his team rose and began to move. They were following standard operationing procedure - move for 10 minutes, stop and wait for 5. It threw off ambushers and gave trackers a chance to catch up and be ambushed. The light forest was somewhat unfamiliar to them, but they adapted as much as possible. The tricks of the trade were much the same - never stay in the open, stay off trails, and rotate the point and rear man often.

Each man had either a EHR-4 (M-16-esq) with a G-5 grenade launcher, or a EHR-4 with a OC-3 missile targetting designator, or a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon), or a EHR-4 with a scope and bipod. They also had a scout mesh-rotor running quiet behind them somewhere. Rule #1 - Never leave scouts unsupported by anti-armor.

---

Soldiers heaved and grunted as they loaded the missiles into the carrier's launcher. A crane would have helped, but someone had knicked theirs to load their own twice as fast. The FASCAM rounds were heavy - long range missiles usually are. Once the enemies line of advance was spotted it would be liberally sprayed with hundreds of the lethal treats.

A day after preparations begin on the ground; Another 77 Red Hawks transport Command/medical pods to the emplacements for better inter-unit communication and for medical experts to be on scene. This adds around 20 people per pod, 5 command and 15 medical, for a total of 1440 additional staff in the region.

OOC: Belem, here's a good APC for ya

I posted in the other thread.
Belem: What about SUVs with Kevlar plating and machine guns mounted on the roof?

I don't have specifics anymore; this is far into my nation's past. Figure about 100,000 troops, 500 ships, and 1,000 attack planes and stealth bombers.

in the TSD Headquarters courtyard, Emperor Kisar stands above his troops


Kisar:A new Power is ariseing in Kieales, the northern area of Kieales has rebelled against it's rightful owners and today we shall Help SQUASH these puny rebel bands. ARN'T WE WARRIORS!



Troops:YES SIR!


Kisar:ARE WE FEARLESS?!

Troops:SIR! YES SIR!

Kisar:THEN GO! FIGHT YOUR WAY INTO KIEALES AND DESTROY THE ENEMY!

that day over 1/2 million Troopers and 4,000 Panzer IX's go across the border into northern Kieales

Well Keeping it simple.

I think ill take one thats a little less you know blown up.

Im probably going to go with Bradleys the ones with the Anti Tank missiles can easilly go up against most tanks.

Bradleys? Oh, well, they'll just make my job easier...

OOC: Couldnt find any good light tanks so im going to go with the original abrams in smaller numbers grr ...So heres my make up.

100 thousand infantry
15 thousand Bradley 3s with AT weapons
5 thousand M1A1 Abrams.
2 thousand Paladin Artillery
2 thousand towed arrays.

Saviros and his team were hunkered down in a small bowl on a mountainside watching the tanks roll over the border in a long stream. Behind them were hundreds of transports.

Saviros swept the terrain in front of the tanks once more. Due to the mountainous terrain they would be forced to funnel into several gaps or risk getting stuck. That would be the best place to put the FASCAM rounds. He turned on the designator and sighted through to the ground. The designator determined the target, and Saviros punched the controls.

---

FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH...

Cadet Stephanos watched as the long range missiles poured out of the tubes of the frigate and sped towards the targets designated by forces in the field. The frigate he was on had launched dozens so far, reloading as the SpecOps teams laid more targets for the thousands of missiles. Each was loaded with dozens of heavy anti-tank mines that would hopefully slow the advancing tanks long enough for the next wave of missiles to arrive. These would land behind the minefield among the troops and transports that would hopefully be bottlenecked behind the slowed tanks. These would be filled with bomblets and fuel-air explosives to create a raging inferno around the advancing troops.

---

The tarmac was empty - the mesh-rotors that had been idling had launched for their sorties. In the bunkers a short distance away there was much more activity. Crews prepped missiles and ammunition to reload the rotors on their return to the base. Medics and doctors were also standing by - they were flying into the heart of the storm and death was inevitable.

<snip>
that day over 4 million Troopers and 4,000 Panzer IX's go across the border into northern Kieales

Um.. Lets put this in a numerical sense.

Say a regular soildier gets about 27,000 a year in wadges. 27,000x4million= 108,000,000,000 a year to pay their salaries alone. Say another 80,000 a year to feed/clothe/heat/shelter/shower/train/equip/ammo/transport them. The figure goes up to 320,000,027,000. That's in fighting troops alone, add in support troops, about a 1:4 ratio unless your forced-marching your soildiers, then it's just a 1:1.25 ratio. So if your troops are using vehicals of any sort to move, add in their price and quadruple the annual cost of the soildiers wadges.

And now for feeding these poor troops. Lets say 5$ a meal, 3x a day, for at least a month. 5x3=15x4mil=60,000,000 million a day to feed, times 29.5 days a month comes out to... 1,770,000,000 billion dollars.

So at the very least 108,000,000,000 billion a year, plus 1.77 billion a month for food.

Oh, and I forgot the oil prices to move the troops. Hm... I'll get into that if you really need convincing.

Considering my estimate of your military budget to be around $1,318,746,710,197 a year, your very much going to break the bank with that many troops.

Unless your sending them into battle with cardboard food, weapons, vehicals, and armor...

Please readjust numbers accordingly. And consider this, I'm ~200 million bigger than you, yet I'm only sending in 100,000 troops, not counting vehicals.

OOC: www.pacifier.com/~cziller/elhefemilitary.xls - a nice little spread sheet that will do what DNS is pointing out. Food, oil, etc is covered under the yearly cost. Reasonably you will be using the yearly cost every week in a war, maybe more.

OOC: I'm not sure why I'm not a list. I made a post on the original thread stating a handful of Burkinabe guerillas were fighting on the rebel side.

OOC:You may join only as guerilla fighters. Nothing more, Ok?

[the Emperor is sitting behind a desk, transmitting this message to the Anti-rebellion forces in North Kieales]


Ryo-Tan: [/i]"Mighty soldiers of Neo Earth, Belem Kieales, and other nations. As the Emperor of one of the greatest nations ever, I bow before you, thanking you for your support in the war to return North Kieales to the neonic people. Only together, through blood, sweat, and determination, can we work through this. Every soldier fighting in North Kieales is fighting for a right cause. The cause of unity. All nations fighting for Neo Earth are now allies of Neo Earth. Thank you."[/i]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Info on North Kieales:

THere are 5 main cities, holding most of the population. The cities are:

New Corino (Capital): 7 million In the hands of the rebels, but surrounded by Neo Earth

Talin City: 6 million In the hands of Neo Earth

Harcoplis: 5 million Currently being fought over

Gronis: 5 million In the hands of the rebels

Neonic City: 2 million in the hands of Neo Earth




The fronts:

The Capital front: (I have 60,000 soldiers here)

The battle for New Corino and the eastern front


The North Solidary front (I have 56,700 soldiers here)
Battle for the plains of the north and Gronis and Neonic City

The Mountains: (I have 53,400 soldiers here)
Battle for the south.

Please state were your forces are.

My forces are where they would be the most use and in the Terran they know how to fight best inbesides in cities and forests, The Mountains.

OOC: Still no map? I don't want make one, but I will if I have to...

Scouts and SpecOps are inserted mostly in the mountains to help delay reinforcements. These are supported by long range scout mesh-rotors. Right now everything else is in Wolstand waiting to make a push into whatever section of the nation is closest to them.

As noted previously, my troops made their landings in a circle around the capital. They have dug into those positions and are attempting to talk to the rebel leaders. A total of 100,000 ground forces are there; 2,500 Red Hawks provide supplies and firesupport.

I hereby give command of my 300,000 soldiers, consisting of 200,000 Infrantry, and 100,000 of various Special Operations. Support staff is also supplied by me, he just has command of them.

OOC: Hello? So, can I join?!

And, I have a map of Kieales I made during Belem, Xanthal, and my invasion of Kieales. Although, the map is somewhat outdated now, as I control a much larger share and it appears Belem sold some/all of his.

D'oh... He meant to give the command to me. I'll ask him to fix it.

As per my previous statement, I would rather not let Diwaniyah get involved.

Sorry, no. I locked up the alliances. Next time though, I promise you are automatically on the list.

Can we use that map?

A message is relayed to the DNS defensive positions.

/Transmission/
Men, we have word of troops going across the border. Prepare to defend your positions. We can hold out longer then they can, we're in friendly terrain, they will be slowed by everything that is being thrown at them. They're gonna get to you walking light a bastard after a 20 round fight, and then your gonna kill them. Don't have mercy, because they won't have mercy for the free people of this nation. Good luck, and give them hell.

OOC: Wohlstand's troops will be held in reserve untill there is a situation needing them.

And a BUMP

Belem troops are headed towards Gronis.

OOC: neo whats resistance?

The Zerni forces made their preperations in the Mountains of North Kieales. They would hold in the mountains and they would not leave, these is where they were at their strongest short of fighting in an Urban Enviroment. Here they would fight and they would when, they had an vast reserve to reforce their numbers here as well if needed and they were under the command of General Kernsami a brillent tactician and leader. So had the Emperor ordered and so would they do to the last man if they had to, Zerni never surrendered.

Stephanos was reloading the missile tubes for the next salvo, but he was not the only one busy. Aside from a defensive force of a dozen frigates inside Wolstand the landship fleet had gathered together and entered Kielas and headed toward the Capital. The cadet wasn't included in the high level discussions, but his guess on the plans was simple - the landships would do what they were designed for and assault the NE siege forces.

Stephanos wasn't far off, but the plan was slightly different. They would make a beeline for the NE forces but suddenly turn to engage their supply lines and rear echelon forces. The landships were highly mobile - they woudn't lose that advantage by engaging in a toe to toe slugfest.

The landships were limited to the speed of the battleships and the vagarities of the terrain. Thus the mesh-rotors could keep up with them and lend some firepower and targetting to the fight. Ranging ahead of the main fleet were several of the fast frigates and their scout mesh-rotors. They were tasked with gathering targetting data on the NE encirclement forces with the primary targets being rear-echelon ammunition and fuel dumps. FAE and FASCAM LRM's were being loaded to soften the rear up for the 'attack'.

Over the landship fleet flew Punchau fighters configured for air superiority roles. They were slower but much more heavily armed and armored than conventional fighters - more of a high speed complement to the mesh-rotors than a high speed interceptor force.

---

Saviros watched the wave of FASCAM missiles explode over the pass scattering their anti-tank mines everywhere. These were the sophisticated 'leaping' mines. When a tank (or specifically it's magnetic signature) got close the mine would leap up and then using the tank's IR signature as a guide fire a superheated jet of plasma along with a secondary penetrator right at the top deck of the tank.

Tanks were built to fight other tanks - the shells came in from the sides thus the armor was thickest there. Since the jet and penetrator came from above through the vulnerable exhaust system it had a good chance of disabling the tank. Crew casualties were generally pretty low as well for the same reason.

The team pulled back - if their opponent was any good at all their scouts would be moving forward now to find the spotters. Saviros wanted to try to setup an ambush to grab a couple and get some information.

My first contribution to the war: 30 battlegroups (150,000 strong) flown in by strategic transport to meet up with DNS's soldiers
They have food and stuff for over a month (well, at least that much food), so they'll be okay while I fly in more logistics stuff.

Ok, anyone want to start agian? I had to leave for a while?

Lets start this again.
~~
Wholstand's forces will be making a quick transport to the city of Gronis. On arrival they will be entrenching in the suburbs and evacuating any civilians that wish to leave. They are also bringing and excess of supplies in case of any civilian militias that wish to help the coailition.

Xanthal's forces are ready, but will not move until ordered to do so. Those orders may or may not come based on the proceedings.

Our forces are in place in the mountains surporting the rebels.

OOC: In order to win the war, one side must have conquered at least 2 of the fronts. Also, no more then 500,000 troops.

IC:

[news broadcast]

Jake: "Today, December 18, 2008, a congress of represenatives from North Kieales declared freedom. They Struck out at the Neonic and ally lines, mounting to at least 300 casualties. The Neonic troops on the Capital front began a artillery bombardment on the city. More at 6."


[end broadcast]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rebels launched a bliztkrieg at the neonic lines, but the lines held. No tanks were destoried. 312 neonic casualties in all and 643 rebel casualties.

The Artillery bombardment is around 45 Skay Artillery cannons firing nonstop.

Total Kills:

Rebels: 814 troops, 2 tanks

Neonic: 371, no tanks



The mountains: A Armoured company of 100 TilMex Tanks and 288 troops, supported by artillery, launched an attack on the east flank. I believe Zerni troops are there. The Tanks rooled up and fired at the fortifications as the troops moved forward. Zerni, casualties? and defenses?

OOC:Indeed, 18,000 Elite Infantry of the Elite Zerni Imperal Guard
18,000 Elite Infantry of the Imperal Army with in Reserve for commitment as reforcements, 36,000 Elite infantry of the Imperal Guard, 46,000 Elite Infantry of the Imperal Army fortifed up there in the mountains. Basically they dug themselves in on the mountians themselves so they could rain down artillary down and the enemy has to drive them out by attacking their trenches with infantry

IC: Only a few people were killed the Zerni had entrenched themselves to well and the sloped and rocky Terrian prevented the tanks from reaching them.(Little hard to get a tank anywhere but on roads and valley floors in the mountains.) In response entrenched heavy to light Artillary fire opened fire on the company in a heavy barrage and machine guns nest opened fire on the company as did thousands of rifleman with combat rifles Ideal for the type of fighting the Zerni was forcing the enemy to conduct, they might lower rate of fire but they had a much longer range of accurate fire compared to assault rifles(200 yards compared to an assault rifes 60 to 80 yards of accurate range) and the Zerni both had high amounts of training with their weapons and had numbers on their side in their mountain side trenches. also just in case they had planted land mines as well before the trenches along with a razer wire field. They also had Tank destroyers entrenched along with antiair craft missiles and guns.

Hm, I'm going to assume that the Artillary is firing shells, therefor they can be shot down by the laser emplacements in my defensive ring. So, reload times make it about 1 shot per cannon every 10-15 seconds or so? No shots land in the city then, and they are blown up harmlessly in midair. Feel free to corect any of these figures.

A group(50) of DNSian snipers has moved near the Neonic fronts, and have been ordered to fire at targets of opportunity. A air attack by 100 Red Hawk fighters drops 200 ground-impact explosion bombs of approximatly .2 kt each on Neonic lines. Non-nuclear, or any other type of WMD, just regular bombs. The DNSian encirclement prepares for battle.

OOC: Lasers? come on, be a little more realistic.

Um, they're already in the testing phase for the US arsenal. Seriously, do a google search or something for them. It's all modern tech.

OOC: More like post modern tech, but whatever.

IC:

Needles flew from the trees and the trunks swayed as the landships passed over the top of the forest. Moments later they swayed again as powerful concusions caused a shockwave that rippled around the three battleships.

The naval cannon spoke for the first time and sent their heavy shells ripping toward the enemy positions. In the bowels of the turrets loading crews hurried to move new shells into the yawning breeches of the cannon. A shell was rammed home, and power charges followed. The crew slammed the breach shut, and as soon as the other guns in the turret were ready the gunnery officer on the bridge sent another volley towards the encircling forces.

Aboard the other ships hatches slide aside and missiles roared out of their tubes. These were loaded with either bomblets for soft targets like fuel dumps or scattering mines for runways and vehicle depots. Missile after missile burned away from the fleet as they headed towards their targets at tree-top level.

Above them many of the mesh rotors and fighters moved to the flanks of the fleet, far out to run interception missions against incoming fighters or other air support.

OOC: Landships? In sixth grade, I had to invent something, so I did landships. After doing research, I estimated it would be 20 more years before the first landship would appear.

And they are firing at what?

Um, they're already in the testing phase for the US arsenal. Seriously, do a google search or something for them. It's all modern tech.

OOC:Indeed they are trying to come up with more moble set that can fit on the back of a humvee. but I don't think you could shot them all down. Artillary techology has advanced if you want near modern tech, they will have by 2020 arittary peices that can fire 8 shots at 8 different locations in a second.

OOC: Are those landships hovercraft...?
And yes, there is a laser IRL that can shoot down artillery shells.

After many artillery shells (but not all DNS. be realistic) were destoried, the Neonic Airforce sprung into action. Under the cover of the night, 100 bombers dropped 36 1000 lbs. bombs on military installations in the capital.


AS for the 288 troops in the mountains:

After being beaten back, they retreat to the Neonic lines.

Kills:
97 troops
31 tanks

The rebels then launched a attack at the neonic lines, throwing 10 companies (144 ea.) and 150 tanks. The line held, but was severly damaged.

Kills:

rebels= 231 troops, 61 tanks
Neonic= 264, 12 tanks


As night came, the air force struck. Droping the same payload on the mountains as in the capital.

Around midnight, 4 companies of paratroopers were paradroped behind enemy lines. At the same time, 2 armoured companies and 10 companies charged the enemy line.



The north:

20 companies and 7 armoured companies march towards Gronis. But thanks to the rebel scouts, the rebels ambush the first company in a subburb outside of Gronis.

Though the rebels retreat, the neonic casualties are high:

Neonic: 86
Rebel: 23

OOC: Let's say that they fell into evactuated areas of the city, as those wouldn't be protected as much as the still inhabited areas, k?
Also there is a 500+ fighter aircap over the capital, with AA emplacements surrounding the city. Even if the bombers were stealthed, most of them would be shot down.

IC: DNS forces prepare for the land battle, and the Airforces begin to attack any bombers over the capitol.

Artillery shells land in some deserted sectors of the city, luckly only causing property damage. Falling bombs kill 300, and wound another 500.

Militia groups are armed by DNS with M-16 rifles and mortars along with several old RPGs.

The Zerni forces taking a few hundred causties lines held firm and the Aircraft dropping the bombs were meet hellfire of SAMa and antiaircraft Gunfire. While the assault ran into the antipersonal and antitanks mines, the razer wire feild and a hail of antitank weaponary expecally tank destroyer guns and a hail of bullets. The Zerni reponded with Barrage of heavy artillary on the enemy line. Behind the Zerni lines as well as the location of the Zerni reserves. There was several companies patroling behind the lanes as well as many squads scouting the area.

((I assume you Paradropped on the other side of the reforcements as well since it would be stupidly sucidal to paradrop near that many troops.))

OOC: I posted my forces in the duplicate thread. My post will never be found now that we can't do keyword searches. :cry:

just go back a few pages in the ego search and find em.

OOC: Landships are the first steps to full gravships. They are cold fusion powered, and have a hover ceiling of 1000ft. They are fast, though not as fast as gravships. Their acceleration is horrible (though better than a surface vessel of the same weight) and they have armor comparable to a surface vessel. They are also for sale to allied and approved nations. El Hefe is a 2036 nation (with the population of one) so their number of ships is limited and they are all quite expensive.

They are all detailed at: http://www.pacifier.com/~cziller/elhefemilitary.html

They are currently firing on the Neo-Earth forces surrounding the Capital - they came overland and apparently unopposed as no one bothered to respond to their departure post. The range on the naval cannon is about 20 miles at maximum - a little beyond current heavy naval cannon but not too much. They are keeping at maximum range right now using their indirect bombardment to hit supply depots and similar infrastructure points.

IC:
Fire again rippled along the length of the fleet as the launchers finished their reload cycle. These missiles were loaded with field-scatterable anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. While they would kill and destroy vehicles, they were meant to slow movement while the artillery pounded opposing positions.

"Forward air recon has airbase locations Admiral."

"Excellent - redirect fire onto them. I want to give each a good salvo from a battleship as we pass." The Admiral paused as the guns of the battleship fired another volley onto programmed positions.

"Time to drop the special operations teams - have the flanking frigates deploy their teams as they pass good terrain."

On the inward (facing the Neo-Earth lines) transport choppers took off from frigates and began dropping special forces teams and forward observers into clearings and similar opportune areas. They fanned out and began moving inward - they were tasked with picking out new targets for the artillery and long range missiles from the fleet.

From the Wolstand border the tanks and APC's of the El Hefe ground forces had moved towards the Zerni positions. They were covered by fighters and mesh-rotors as they moved forward - they were attempting to move into a classic pincer movement on the Neo-Earth forces engaging the Zerni forces in the mountains. They had two days of travel ahead of them - supply mesh-rotors and transport landships were working constantly to bring in stockpiles of food, water, and fuel. The mechanized units had crated of additional ammo piled around the turrets, except for the front line units and the sweepers on the flanks.

El Hefe is a 2036 nation

One problem: Neo Earth is only 2008. Sorry, but thats too much.

And DNS is a ~3500 nation most days of the week. Just adjust the numbers slightly and add some tech bonuses.

[Col.Klink]" NOW!!!! "OOC: Well, I found the thread on (only) page four, but my forces aren't there...:| I was sure I made a post over a week ago sending troops to meet up with someone else's that everyone ignored...Maybe the forums ate it...
